Ford Fusion owners have reported 357 problems related to car stall (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Ford Fusion based on all problems reported for the Fusion.
When I put gas in the car, it is very hard to start. I have to pump the gas and then rev the engine to get it to stay on. If I leave it in park, without reving the engine, it will stall out. Once I get it into drive and start moving, the problem subsides. The only other time I notice it, is if I am idling on a hill. At that point, it will stall without constant feathering of the gas pedal. This seems to be consistent with the current recall on some of the 2016 Ford Fusions, but my VIN doesnt appear on the recall.

Error code p2112 - stuck throttle body. Acceleration disappears at high rate of speed, resulting in limp along, no propulsion to zero. Car stalls in high speed traffic, requiring immediate pullover. Very unsafe. Other Fusions of same exact year, production location, and model are covered under a customer service bulletin 13n03, but not the hybrids, even though experiencing the same exact issue. Just want this potentially fatal bug to be removed from my vehicle. Ford indicates no coverage or fix, due to it being a hybrid. . . Although same issue as non-hybrid Fusions from same year, production facility, build date.

My vehicle has stalled while driving and is hard to start after fueling with gas. After taking it to Ford for recalls in October of 2018 and brought the issue up and they wanted to charge me for diagnostic. After taking my car to my mechanic shop for oil change and to look into the issue of stalling, they made me aware of the purge balance needing replaced and that would solve the issue with the vehicle stalling. Apparently, Ford knew this defect since 2013 and paid for replacement if a complaint was filed. Now into 2019, 93,000 miles and no warranty, Ford doesn't want to assist in paying for the replacement. I don't feel I should be responsible for paying for the repair. It is very dangerous to have the car stall in the road and around busy traffic.
When in drive the car jerks very hard whenever it switches gears also the car would stall after putting it into drive sometimes it will not move forcing me to turn the ignition off and back on to try it again.

I experiencing a �throttle body� malfunction. My vehicle stalls while driving in traffic. There are numerous complaints in reference to this issue, both online as well as in person. This is a highly dangerous problem for myself and my family. On the highway this can / will cause a very dangerous situation to many other motorists as well. Ford refuses to acknowledge this as a manufacturing defect issue and, by doing so, is placing countless people at risk unnecessarily. I am fed up with dealerships covering up for dangerous manufacturing issues. This problem needs to be addressed ASAP. This problem is getting worse every day.

Very dangerous safety hazard with 2014 Ford Fusion. There are issues with the car stalling on me. Typically it happens when I am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the rpm needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. At all times I am driving at low speeds, but numerous times I was either driving into a busy street or it stalled in an intersection where I or other people could have been seriously injured. This has happened about 3 times in the last 4 weeks, but it is very random. One day it happened one time at an intersection, then it happened twice in one evening it was to the dealership each time and they said they could not find an issue because there is no code. There is no engine light on, so they said they can not diagnose the problem. I searched NHTSA website and I am not the only person who reports this problem. My coworker also has a 2014 Ford Fusion and had the same problem. Currently 28,000 miles on the car. This needs to be fixed.
Car stalled without any warning. Then it started immediately. Next day started, then stalled immediately and would not start. The first time we were on traffic circle, and second time in garage.
I literally just bought this car and within 15 min of driving off the lot it stalled multiple times in the drive thru and then again when pulling onto the road and oncoming traffic almost hit us. Terrifying.

Very dangerous safety hazard with my 2014 Ford Fusion. I have been having issues with my car stalling on me. Typically it happens when I am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the rpm needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. At all times I am driving at low speeds, but numerous times I was either driving into a busy street or it stalled in an intersection where I or other people could have been seriously injured. This has happened about 10 times in the last 2 weeks, but it is very random. Some days will go by without a hitch and other days it will happen 2 or 3 times. Most of the time when it happens, it happens again right after. So I will put the car in park, completely shut it off, and turn it back on, it will drive for like 5-10ft and then do it again. I took it to the dealership, and they said they could not find an issue. The did a few test drives and let it sit and run for awhile, and the car didn't stall. There is no engine light on, so they said they can not diagnose the problem, unless they see it for themselves. This is very concerning to me as I am scared to drive, knowing that it could stall and I could get in an accident. I also drive for a ride sharing company, and it is too risky for me to pick up passengers knowing something could happen, and I would be responsible. This issue needs to be addressed right away as I know I am not the only one having this problem, which means there a a number of faulty cars on the road that can just stall out at any moment and cause fatal accidents. I am scared to drive this car! this has been an on-going issue that has gradually gotten worse, and thankfully I have managed to stay accident free. (I have attached other complaints).
The engine issue:vehicle intermittently stalls while backing, and driving. The electrical throttle body was subject to a Ford � customer satisfaction program 13n03�, that program has now expired, and any vehicles with the now malfunctioning throttle body will receive no warranty, or compensation for repair costs. When the vehicle stalls while driving, especially at highway speeds, this presents an extremely dangerous situation. The steering issue: two recalls were issued from Ford regarding this issue. Ford 13s06, NHTSA 13v232000 Ford 15s14, NHTSA 15v250000 our vehicle wa not subject to the first recall, but was subject to the second. The recall work was performed by the original owner on may 15, 2015, the vehicle had approximately 30,000 miles at that time. The dealer inspected the steering gear motor for mounting bolt corrosion. The bolts were apparently found to all be intact, and a simple �anti rust wax� was applied to the bolts. Per Fords directive, if any of the mounting bolts were missing/broken, a completely new steering gear assembly was to be installed. We purchased the car in the summer of 2017, with 55,500 miles on it. At just over 60,000 miles, the power steering failed while driving. This is my 16 year old daughters car, and all these mechanical issues have occurred when she is behind the wheel. The intermittent stalling, and most recently the complete loss of power steering thankfully did not result in accident or injury. Fortunately she was driving in a 30 mph zone when the steering failed, and was able to allow the car to pull to the side of the road. She would have not been physically able to turn the vehicle, under other circumstances. Our local Ford dealer advised that Ford would not assist in the steering repair. A subsequent follow up with Ford directly verified same. Both of these issues should be subject to a safety recall.
Car is a 2017 Ford Fusion sport 2. 7l ecoboost car stalled randomly. Drove for about 20 minutes prior to stalling. Was stopped at a busy intersection on a city street about to make a left hand turn, the car stalled and went into full accessory mode. Started the car back up afterwards with no problems. Car has 8500 miles on it. A car stalling while in drive is unsafe in the case of being on train tracks, stalling could be fatal. Can not be replicated and no codes thrown. With no codes, dealer has no idea what the issue could be. Several others (car experts, some ase certified) state camshaft position sensor could be the fault.

Upon decelerating, my car stalled in traffic. I was driving on a suburban city street at approx. 35 mph, and decelerated to a complete stop. Upon pressing the gas to start going again, I noticed the engine had shut off. This is extremely unsafe, as a car that loses power while driving could cause a crash. I have taken my car to the dealership for inspection.
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. Brought to dealer who only replaced battery. Car engine light still going on and it is still stalling. This is the 2nd time in 6 months this has happend to this Ford Fusion it is only 2 years old.
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.

Car will stall when it is it is low rpm. It is more likely to stall after I have fueled up my car from it being low on calls. I can see the car shuddering and then drop the rpm very low. It has died when I have been in traffic before when I'm stopped at a light. It has died when I was leaving for work and backing out of my driveway. I noticed the issue of the car shuddering when I'm driving at low rpm and even when I'm coasting down a hill. I have went to the dealership several times for this issue and they have never eliminated the problem. It may have got a little better where it doesn't die as much but I definitely have to pay close attention when I just get fuel otherwise I'm afraid my call will stall at a stoplight. I called Ford's customer service today to see if there was anything related to my issue as a recall but there was not. I asked the lady if she has heard of this issue and she said that it's a fairly common problem she hears about the Fusion and other Ford models "shuddering". Most recently I have had my battery replaced. Previously I had warranty work done in 2016 for the fuel pressure sensor to be replaced that cost $100 deducdible. Neither of these repairs made any significant difference. I also experience that at low rpm there is hesitation when accelerating. There was other people I found online that have these issues and they suggested the "electronic throttle body" fixed their issue and they were covered by a extended warranty customer satisfaction program, but apparently my VIN is not in that list.
