My car has 66,000 miles on it. 3 of the 4 fuel injectors have failed while driving on highways, when cold outside. All in the last month. Searching forums, this isn't just me. Every Ford hybrid has this problem.
Beginning about January 2015, and occurring a total of about six times so far, my wife's 2013 Fusion Hybrid (currently with 25,500 miles) experienced what feels like a power surge. (I experienced this once in this vehicle; the remainder when my wife was driving. ) it is possible that this is related to the regenerative braking system at least in part, as I have seen others describe it as a feeling of hitting an ice patch. The general conditions would include: a) foot on brake; b) decelerating; c) presumably in ev mode [though not necessarily]; d) beginning a left turn [but we believe this is incidental]; e) warm engine; f) less than 30 mph. On October 1, 2015, a new condition caused the feeling of unintended acceleration, as my wife was on a side street near our home when she was approaching a stop sign and felt the power surge, which she states was many times worse than any other instance of this event that she ever experienced. Conditions this time were the same as above but moving straight and less than 25 mph. We took the vehicle to the local Ford dealership the evening of the last incident. Of course they found no codes and no evidence of anything wrong. I also contacted the Ford customer relationship center while it was in the shop to document that we had this problem. They seemed helpful however, unless Ford motor company and their engineering community acknowledge a problem and do something to address it, it will forever be a ghost in the machine, with the blame and doubt falling on the vehicle owners, not unlike Toyota's well documented, fatal and shameful unintended acceleration cases. I am concerned about our safety while driving the vehicle. I hope that no one gets hurt or killed while this problem exists and urge Ford motor company to get to the root of the issue that myself and other owners are fearfully experiencing.
While driving down the highway at 45 mph the cars beside us began honking and flashing lights at us. We began to slow for a traffic light and smoke began to pour our from underneath the car. The engine warning light came on and we pulled left into the turn lane to stop. We then turned on the flashers and turned off the car and exited to the median. We called 911 and luckily, there was an accident going the other direction with fire and police arriving at that accident. Upon seeing our situation, the orange city, FL fire marshall came across the street to help us and sent the fire truck to us. They popped the hood and trunk and tried to put out the fire. After a few minutes of trying to put out the fire, they pulled the hybrid battery line. The incident # is [xxx]. Our car was towed off and totaled by usaa. They have the car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
While driving, my "check engine" warning light, "low oil pressure" warning light, and the "stop safely now" warning came up on my dash. I lost all power steering and breaks, and the engine cut out. I struggled to stop the car, but eventually it stopped moving. I turned off the car and turned it back on, receiving no further errors. I called the dealership to find out that there's nothing they can do since the car is no longer in an "error state".
