Started car, got dashboard light on 7. 6. 19 mileage 27721. Car running rough, about to stall,etc. Error code p0302. Cyl. #2 ignition coil replaced. Then, 2 weeks later got dashboard light again, same code p0302. Mechanic (private)replaced perceived faulty ignition coil as previous. On 9. 23 . 19 car started,. Car runs rough, almost stalls dashboard lights again. This time we take it to royal oak Ford service dept. They get p0302 and advise us to change spark plugs. $307. 29 charge. Upon inspection of spark plugs I note all plugs are heavily coated in carbon. I check the tailpipe and the inside is also heavily carbon coated. Shortly after I find information that most direct inject engines have this problem. It was not hard info to find. Because of direct injection the valves do not receive the benefit of detergent gasolines and become heavily coated in carbon. This is an oversimplified explanation of what is occurring. , but makes the point. I confirm findings with and show plugs to, my mechanic who confirms ;that these direct inject engines have an issue the manufacturers can't or haven't corrected, which results in the condition my spark plugs were found in. I found notsb's on the subject. Mechanic recommends a gdi service, which includes pulling all valves and cleaning them. He also recommends anyone with a di engine to do this at least once a year to keep vehicle running smoothly and to get maximum life out of the plugs. By the way, first service interval for plugs on this car is 100,000 miles. This is the experience I've been exposed to so far, but do know that it can get much worse (affecting other parts of the engine) fwiw the mechanic believes the manufacturers (in this case Ford) are well aware of these issues with direct inject designed engines. Pic of plugs incl. Below.
Vehicle occasionally idles rough and stalls while driving down the road. Restarts fine, sometimes not doing it again for days and sometimes doing the same thing multiple times on the same trip. Usually occurs under 40 mph, and is really becoming a safety concern for me and my family. 28,000 miles on the odometer.
After driving some distance (20-30 minutes, 15-20 miles) and stopping for a short break (5-10 minutes) to grocery shop, get take-out, etc. Starting the car up again and going - it stalls. Power stays on, but engine fluctuates rpm in a lunging fashion before puttering out. Car can restart with strain on the starter but will do the same thing again even if left idling in park after 1-2 minutes. Remedy I have found is to crank it, let the engine settle for 5 seconds, put in gear, let settle again, then gain rpms fairly quickly with a heavy acceleration. Once it shifts gears the first time it seems to behave.

Car stopped dead while driving 65 miles an hour on hightway. I was able to get car over to side of road and tried to start car it stalled out multiple times once started engine light went on.

In October 2017 my Fusion stalled out four times (three various days and one day 15 minutes between stalls) and again on November 4th. Each time I was driving less than 10 mph; four times on a city street and once in a parking lot. In each case I had been driving for an hour or more and then stopped and turned off the car for a period of time (1/2 hour or so). When I got into the car to drive away the car would start normally and then within a few minutes after the car was put into drive and moving it would start to sputter and shake and then stall out. In each case no engine check light came on. I would wait a few seconds, press the start button, the engine would crank a few times, and then it would start. Each time this occurred I ran a vehicle health report and nothing was noted. The car was taken to a Ford dealer where they could not replicate the issue. In doing research, I believe there is an issue with the fuel injection throttle body.
