Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of Ford Fusion

This is a reoccurring issue with the direct fuel injection system (gdi). The high pressure pump is ground into the top of the camshaft cam and causing fuel rail failure, engine codes p0087 & p219a. The dealership has repaired this once under warranty. Ford refuses to repair again, since my warranty expired while we were in state lockdown order. This gdi direct fuel injection vs. Multi-port injection was rushed to market to meet the new fuel economy mandates set by congress and it has failed on this vehicle 3 times now, causing seriously dangerous driving conditions. Fmc wont repair again even though they know of this systemic issue. I am attaching a copy of the diagnostics from Ford with the extensive repair/parts list. I see on almost every Ford complaint website the issues with the early gdi fuel systems on their eco boost models. My car only has 54000 miles and this is the third time for needed repairs. Fmc case# cas27469187.

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.

The Ford focus was recalled for fuel injection issues but my Fusion along with many other issues has the same issue.

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.

I was sitting at a drive up window and my rpms went way up and the car died and when I'm driving I have a lost of power like it tryed to die then recovered I,m being told this is the (fuel injection throttle bodies) this is be coming a big problem where it starting to die more I don't want my wife to get in to a wreck and get hurt so I'm going to replace the throttle bodie but I think this should be a recall ASAP, this is a very high priced part I would like a refund.

Lost power while trying to pass a car car had no throttle and almost had a head on collisiongot got home had a air injection code p0491 in the system. Found a bad air injection pump loaded with water replaced the air pump and the problem is solved I see Ford has a lot of issues with water getting into thes pumps but refuses to do anything about it. Contacted Ford with no responce. I worked in Ford dealerships for over 25 years so I know how to diagnose these problems. I am not concerned about the money for fixing this problem I just feel the issue should be corrected before someone gets hurt or killed. Plate # new york dzz3222 VIN #3fahp07z47r239473.

My wife driving a 2010 Ford Fusion with was driving down I 75 in detroit arround 9:30 am to work, when all sudden the engine lost power. The maintenance light ( yellow wrench) started binking rapidly. She could not accelarate even though is was pressing the accelator pedal to ground. The engine started shuddring and shaking. My wife managed to steer the vehicle towards the exit on the highway. Drivers behind her started to brake as her vehicle started to slow down. She managed to take the next exit and pull in gas station where she shut the engine off. After about a 5 min she started the car. She did not find any problem. She went home and called me. At home I put a code reader on the car and found it had the error p2111. Investingating this further tells me it is due to fuel injection trottle body. I called the dealer huntington Ford in rochester hills, mi who wants me to bring the car for checkup with scanner ( costs about $96). Since the car has 58300 miles on it is no longer covered by factory warranty. I am concerned this is a serious safefty defect and needs to be covered under warranty. I do see there a lot of people who have has this problem with 2010 Ford Fusions.

Vehicle goes into "limp-home" mode suddenly and unexpectedly. Happened on I-95 and was lucky I could pull over without getting killed. Dealer could not find problem although this should have been well-known to them by then. Happened several times since and got worse and now car is immobile and too dangerous to drive. Apparently a problem with fuel injection throttle body which Ford is well aware of and part is back-ordered 7-10 days (they say). Nhtsa inititated an investigation of problem in Feb 2013 but Ford has not informed customers of this very dangerous situation nor offered any fix. Seems unconscionable to me. What does NHTSA propose to do about this and why hasn't it done so? this situation is literally without exageration a danger to human life and the manufacturer does nothing. What is NHTSA for?.
