1 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2010 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 05/04/2021

I filled the gas tank on the way home and parked in the garage. Next day the garage has strong smell of gas and a tiny puddle on the ground. Googled and saw Ford had recall in 2016. Book appointment with Ford and drove car in. They say car was inspected in 2016, charge $135 for inspection then ask for approx $1000 to replace the fuel pump. I decline and seek another shop. Drive car home and the worst is much worst. Have car towed to new shop. New shop says fuel pump is fine, but the tank has a leak on top (which is what the 2016 recall was to avoid). Now I am looking at approx $900 to replace the fuel tank. It would seem that Ford should cover this under the recall or at least cover the $400+ cost of the tank at a min. This is clearly a dangerous condition and potential fire that could have easily gone unnoticed if I had not parked inside that night (car usually stays outside). The mechanic at the new shop was not surprised and said tanks are now often being replace on these cars. The car has now been out of service for over a week and will be at least another week for the part to arrive and get the replacement work done.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2017 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 06/25/2020

Car began losing power uphill, and even pushing the gas pedal to the floor did not help. High pressure fuel pump was replaced at a Ford dealership, but the problem continued, and got worse. Eventually had to be towed to another dealership, where they fixed the problem enough to get home, although hills remained an issue (cruise control was set to 70, and even the smallest hill would cause the car to slow to around 40-45 mph). Car currently is sitting in my driveway because I am afraid to drive it. It might stall out in traffic.

The car started missing like thr transmission was going out til it completely stopped running. Finally had the transmission replaced and it did it again. The tappet on the high pressure fuel pump under the hood ended up being the problem. The cam shaft is wearing a hole in them I just replaced it a second time in 3 months. Now I have metal in my engine and Ford said they have been selling them pretty quick so that tells me there is a problem.

15 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 02/20/2018

My vehicle has been stalling out after fueling, as well as in heavy traffic, and at red lights. I took it to the shop, and the diagnostics indicating is was "low fuel pressure" reading, so they replaced the fuel pump. Two days later, I filled up with gas and it stalled out while in motion at 40 miles an hour, and within 15 minutes, it stalled again at the red light. I can feel the car beginning to stall, so I put it in park, so I can give it gas. . . Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. There have been many instances where I'm in the intersection, at a median, or in the middle of heavy traffic when the car will stall out. . . This is very concerning, and dangerous. . . My life as well as others could be in danger due to a faulty system.

16 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 02/06/2018

I bought my Fusion 6 months ago, and here lately I have been experiencing stalling issues. It tends to happen when the vehicle has been running for a while. I will sit in my daughter's school parking lot to wait for her to get out when all of a sudden the engine shudders and stalls. And other times it happens when driving in the parking lot at low speed, again it shudders and dies. We have changed a couple parts(high fuel pressure sensor, fuel sending unit, and the high pressure fuel pump) nothing seems to be helping the issue.

18 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2012 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 08/19/2016

I was in new orleans for a family reunion. Leaving the reunion my car wouldn't start. I had a friend to check it and power wasn't going to the pump. We changed the fuel pump assuming that it had went out and change fuses too. After that thinking that everything was ok, while driving to work in morning traffic going 45 to 50 mph. The car stopped, I couldn't give it gas or anything. I had to hurry up and turn a block and sit in the middle lane. I tried turning the key it turned but didn't start. I checked the fuse and battery and that didn't work. I stayed in car for about 15 minutes before it started again. After starting it I thought everything was ok I was wrong. Had to work and tried starting car it was doing the same thing. I had it towed to a auto part place to get diagnosed and the results came back stating it was the fuel pump. I had it towed back to my home and had another fuel pump install and it continued doing the same thing. I had my car towed back to auto part place and they said that the car would start but the electric would stay to the fuel pump. Please help!!! now I don't trust my car anymore.

19 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 07/11/2016

We have had our 2103 Fusion now for 2 months. 1 week after having the car it began to make a humming noise around the gas tank area, then when you slowed down for a red light the car would stall and be hard to start back. Sent the car back to the dealership to only be told they couldn't find anything wrong. Once we received the car back we drove it for a couple of days and the car started making the noise again and would stall again. Called dealership and took car back again still nothing. Received car back and began to notice when we was fueling the car that the rpm gauge would go up and down and then the vehicle would quit and be very hard to start back. While driving the vehicle about 3 weeks ago it stalled again and would not start back, finally after about 30 mins of trying the car started. Sent car back to dealership again and they have had the car 3 weeks and they are saying they can not find anything wrong with the vehicle. I asked if they had put fuel in it like I advised they proceeded to tell me no. I advised them when they did to let me know what the car did. We no longer feel safe driving the car. I believe we either have a fuel pump issue or the vehicle is pulling air in from the fueling system and is causing it to air lock. The vehicle has quit about 12-15 times in the 2 months we have had it.

24 Other Fuel System Pump problem of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 03/13/2014

While driving north on I-25 with cruise control set at 75mph, suddenly the vehicle stop forward acceleration and instantly began decreasing speed. Immediately, I stepped on the accelerator to no available power. The engine refused to communication with the accelerator as the rpm would just increase but no actual power was given to the vehicle. I tried multiple times to get the vehicle to respond but eventually had to pull over because no power was available. Even after somehow avoid 3 lanes of constant traffic, I attempted to start driving again without shutting the vehicle down. During this point all that would still happen was the vehicle would rev the rpm's, but not propulsion was available. I had to shutdown the car completely on the highway shoulder in order to get the car to respond to any time of gas demands. I have heard about the throttle body issue many customers have been experiencing and believe I have the same issue. This is a huge safety concern because losing power while in cruise control at 75mph can lead to catastrophic results. I believe that this needs to be looked into because it causes immediate panic from the driver as they attempt to drive safely out of the traffic. This is the second time this has happened to me in this vehicle. The first time, Ford mechanics blamed the problem on the recalled fuel pump and replaced it. Since clearly that was not the remedy to this problem, I believe that more investigation should be done to understand the full scope of the immediate loss of power that myself and many other have experienced.
