Car wouldn't accelerate. Would stall after pumping gas would overheat when idling. Fans were not turning on canister purge valve stuck open causing the fuel tank and oxygen sensor to fail. . Runs rough.
The car shut off randomly and the check engine light came on. I started the car again and it starts. When I fill up, it starts, but it hesitates to turn off again, and sometimes doesn't come back on. It's something to do with the air in the tank due to it being capless. When it comes to the body, the door alert came on 6/12/2020 stating that the foot was open randomly. I was driving to a nearby store going about 20 mph with the doors locked and fully shut.
Car dies while driving on city street or exiting freeway. Cause unknown. Driving the Ford Fusion titanium on city streets results in the car dying while in motion as the speed slows, for instance to make a right or left turn onto another street. When the car dies I have been able to coast to the side of the road, a parking lot, or left turn lane where I have to completely turn off the vehicle and try restarting. Just prior to the car dying a vibrating or revving noise can be heard from the driver's side rear passenger door/gas tank door area. This seems to occur at 55 mph or lower, and especially while decelerating at turns, red lights, or exiting a freeway. I have managed to get out of the way of other cars but this is a very dangerous situation. The occurrence was about once every 4 months until lately the frequency increased to monthly. I have not driven the car since this occurrence on 11/4/2018 as this is too dangerous. The gas tank revving noise serves as about a 3 second warning, which allowed me to take evasive actions. I'm taking it to a Ford dealership.
Car will sound like someone is reeving their engine behind me but its the car. Then car will shut down as I am driving down the road. Everything still works but can not get the car to move. Try to hit the gas pedal and nothing happens. Went to advanced auto and they said it was code p1450 the guy explained it to me as the fuel vapor canisters the purge valves does not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.
After pumping gas my vehicle would not start. After waiting and trying for 10 minutes the vehicle started. About two weeks later while driving a loud noise was coming from the left side of my vehicle after pulling over I realized it was coming from my gas tank took it back to the dealership they said that they have never heard that before but they knew how to stop the noise. While driving and at a stop light my vehicle just shut off with no vehicles behind me, ii put it in neutral and it went in reverse and I was able to pull my vehicle closer to the curb. Couple days later my check engine light came on and the code was for a canister purge valve. I see Ford had a recall in 2015 for the same problem with the previous models. This is a safety concern and I am very disappointed because I just purchased my vehicle on March 31, 2016 and the dealership I purchased it from was not helpful and Ford did nothing.
Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. While driving 35 mph, the engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact also heard an abnormal noise coming from the fuel tank. The contact stated that she had to restart the vehicle approximately four times in order for the vehicle to work properly. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (eufaula Ford, 590 selmon rd, eufaula, ok 74432, (918)-689-7767) for diagnostic testing, but no results were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,394.
We've been experiencing the swishing movement of the the gas in the gas tank when braking, going over a rugged surface & going over speed bumps or potholes. Some times there is a strong smell of gas from inside the car to the point where we have to put the windows down. We've taken the car to 2 separate Ford services & neither has been able to remedy the issue. We've been told that the sound is coming from our rear brakes to being told that there was water in the spare tire compartment. The issue has been constant still so there's no way could it be caused by those. We've complained about the issue several different times at the 1st location and once at the 2nd location, we've went on test drives & all the technicians have heard & felt the noise, but both location said that there was nothing they could do about it & whenever I'll pick the car back up they'll say that they are not able to duplicate the issues. Our miles has now been going down way faster than usual as well & our average mpg has been dropping significantly since this first started to occur. We also have been needing to fill up the tank about 3-4 time a week now compared to just once because the gas just has been dropping so fast & inaccurate readings on the miles we've driven. The swishing around can be heard very loudly & felt more in night time driving & especially when braking in traffic & approaching a stop light/sign. There are times after parking, shutting off ignition & exiting the car that there's smell of gas heavy to the rear of the car & I've also observed the smell coming from the openings of the rear wheels. I'm afraid in the event of a rear/side collision that the chance of an explosion is much higher. This issue has been since September of 2017 & on numerous occasions told a Ford service person about it to no avail. I've called Ford to complain in Dec & Feb & only said to take elsewhere.
