3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2019

4 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly 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.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2018

Filled up car w/ gas, car sputtered like it was not getting gas. Car shut off but power stayed on. Tried to start car again, & it sputtered again. I then pushed on accelerator to give gas, and car sputtered as I let off, then died, but still had power. Started car for 3rd time, and it continued to sputter, I pushed on accelerator, and put in drive, and as I drove about 20 meters, the car seemed to still sputter. Once I continued to drive, and get up to 30 to 40 mph, the car ran fine. Car started fine the next few hours, but then in the evening it did it again. I had to put hazards on due to being on a main road and the car would not acellerate and started sputtering again. My check engine light also has came on during this process. I have taken into auto shop and it reads that fuel pressure sensor needs replaced: code p0087 fuel rail/system pressure - too low p2196 02 sensor signal stuck rich bank 1 sensor 1 p1450 unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum. With the vehicle being well maintained and being less than 5 years old, I believe this should be taken in consideration due to being very unsafe to drive due to not knowing when the sputtering of the car will happen.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2018

Awhile back the car started making strange noises, that came from the fuel inlet behind the gas door, sounding like pressure escaping. Pressing the door in (capless fuel tank) confirms this, as the vacuum is released. Car idles rough, and in some cases, after refueling, it will immediately stall. Upon further research, it seems to happen to quite a few Fusion owners, with videos and forums posts to verify. Ford claims to not know of the issue, but just today issued a recall for a similar problem for the focus model cars. It is the 2. 0l turbo or naturally aspirated engines, and I have the 2. 0l turbo. There have also been reports of cars stalling while in motion. Check engine light came on today, with a p1450 code.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2018

My vehicle makes a noise while driving and this noise comes from the gas tank. It is like a honk sound. To stop the sound, I have to stop the vehicle, open the gas tank and let the air/pressure inside the gas thank out. The smell is some kind of burnt engine or wire. After I have let the air/pressure out, engine warning light turns on for few hours and goes off. There are lots of customers with this same issue and reported this issue. Informed this issue to Ford and they asked me to get diagnostics done on the vehicle and call them back. I did get the diagnostics done on the vehicle, technician said that there is a problem with the canister purge valve and he explained me something about the pressure which I couldn't understand. So I called Ford back and informed them that this is the issue and asked them to help me with it. They said they cant do anything because it had nothing to do with any recall program or any rebate program active based on the given mileage. I begged Ford to please check online that there are so many customer with the same complaint. The supervisor said she cannot do anything. I am requesting NHTSA to please do an enquiry on this issue and help the people who are suffering. Thank you.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2018

My check engine light came on about 3 weeks ago. After I fill up my tank the car won't start. I have to give it a lot of gas as I'm starting it for it to start. Within the past week it would not idle smoothly if I was at a stop sign or stop light. I've noticed this happens when I have around 1/4 tank of gas. Again, I've started putting my foot on the gas while I'm stopped to keep the idle smooth. I was able to get an appointment with a dealership. They found the purge valve assembly to be defective. This device is on a nationwide back order. The part has been ordered and they will replace it when it comes in, whenever that is. However I'm left driving the vehicle. Yesterday, I was driving down a city street at about 35mph when the engine just shut off. I was not low on gas. I had just under 1/2 tank. Luckily there was minimal traffic and I was able to start it only after several tries and giving it a lot of gas as soon as I hit start. I have no idea when the part will come in. I'm concerned I'll pull out into traffic and the engine will die. Or I'll be on the highway just driving along and it will die. If either of those occur, I'm not sure what will happen to me or my kids.
