1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2020

Car stalled engine stalled going around 50 mph on the interstate brought to Ford dealership they advised to replace the engine despite the car only being a 2015 model and having 80k miles. I contacted Ford in hopes of getting some sort of assistance but they refused to help. I could have been hit from behind as the car stalled multiple times on the way to the dealership.

2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2019

After refueling the vehicle is difficult to start, pumping the accelerator helps but the engine will stall suddenly within a few miles of the fill up. On two occasions I have lost power when driving on a major street with 1/4-1/2 tank of fuel. This stall is preceeded by a loud, disonate noise from the fuel filler. There is www information regarding failed purge valves, but most information is for earlier models. The focus recall seems identical. This is obviously a safety issue and I have taken the caution to stay off the road after fueling till the engine is running smoothly. Codes checked with only one reading coming up -a year ago.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2018

Engine sputters, loses powers, and stalls. This appears to happen after the car sits for a period of time around 20-60 minutes after having been driven and then is once again started and driven again. After being placed in gear and driven a very short distance (5-10 second low speed time wise) the engine will begin to exhibit the stalling symptoms of low rpm and hesitation and all associated systems will begin to malfunctions, I. E. Headlights will flicker, brakes will lose power, accelerator will no longer function even if depressed 100% as car is drive by wire. This is an extreme safety concern. The vehicle losing power and not having all control systems functioning at 100% (throttle, braking, steering) on roadways and in parking lots places the driver, other drivers, and especially pedestrians at risk of injury and death as the vehicle unexpectedly loses power and others are not expecting the vehicle to act in such a manner and may not react accordingly. A pedestrian may not react properly to a car that lacks its normal stopping power, another vehicle may not stop for a car that is not accelerating as it was and is expected, etc. I was approached randomly at a gas station by another owner of a similar Ford Fusion describing the same symptoms asking if my car did this and explained to her that based on my research she's not alone and many other owners experience this same problem. Many dealers appear to be able unable to diagnose/resolve the issue, and my 2 attempts to contact a dealer to obtain service for the problem have resulted in the dealership not responding to the online service request form. I have had at least 4 stalling events now and am unable to obtain warranty services as dealerships have not responded to my maintenance requests. I have footage saved of the headlights flickering and vehicle stalling in a parking lot at low speed.
