2014 Ford Fusion Fuel System Problems

Your car won't start right after you fill up the gas tank. You need to press the gas pedal several times before the engine will turn over. This appears to be caused by a stuck purge valve that allows fuel vapors to enter the engine, causing it to run too rich with excess fuel. The fix will likely involve replacing or cleaning the purge control valve and possibly the charcoal canister.

Car cuts off while driving. Runs for awhile and will cut off again. Check engine light came on the first time codes says the fuel pump. Change the fuel pump. 2nd time it does it codes pOO88 and POOc6 comes up and changes the fuel pressure sensor. Car starts to stall and cuts off a third time.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 55-65 MPH, the engine made an abnormal revving sound. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated upon arriving to the residence and inspecting the vehicle, she noticed that there was a significant amount of air coming out of the gas tank flap. The contact stated that the failure occurred when the gas tank was less than half tank full. Additionally, the contact stated that after refueling the vehicle at the gas station, the vehicle failed to start up immediately. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal had to be depressed several times to start. Additionally, the contact stated that the rearview camera image was inaccurate and displayed objects and pedestrians on the opposite side of where they were physically located. The contact also stated that the rear-view camera image turned black intermittently while reversing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an unknown recall for the fuel tank and canister purge valve inspection and repair. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Fuel tank: Tank leaked when it was filled. Most of the time in my driveway but occasionally in parking lots unstil the tank level was reduced to approximately 3/4 filled. In addition fumes would fill the air surrounding the car. The automobile is being currently repaired at an independent repair facility. No other inspection other than repair facility. Initially no warning light but as it progressed the "check engine light" lit. Inspected the removed gas tank at repair facility and the caused of the problem may be a design flaw. the tank design on my vehicle (all wheel drive) is such that it has two zones and each zone has a fuel pump. The retaining plates on the tank are made of metal and therefore due to New England winters and the position of the tank and the location of the tank the retaining plates rust. This resulted in the retaining plates to rust leaving pin holes in the retaining rings causing gas and fumes to exit the fuel system.

Car started making a loud noises from the back of the car when sitting idle in traffic. Noise got louder when opening gas cap. Once refueled the car failed to restart (turn on then shut off right away) and gave run, power, active message and engine light came on. After several tries and leaving foot on brake after pushing start and putting into gear right away the car stayed running. This leads me to believe this is the purge valve as many others have had the same issue. Ford issued a recall on the Focus and earlier model Fusions for this issue but has not included the 2014 yet.

Unknown but every time I get gas my car basically tries to stall out or does stall out. Has stalled out 2x while at a red light. Has been happening the entire time I have owned this car. Over a year and half

My engine light came on. Code is PP0456 - evap leak. Dealer found that gromet/seal on tank is failing. This part is not serviceable, so the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. After dealer discount, the cost was $2242.24. Dealer is Larry H. Miller Ford, Mesa, AZ, phone (480) 530-9600. I have owned many Ford vehicles since 1978 and never experienced such an expense. In my opinion, this is a design issue since the rubber seal is not serviceable. This experience is causing me to lose faith in the Ford brand. Is FMC willing to assist with this expense? Please note - this vehicle has only been serviced at the dealership.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle made an abnormal noise while starting. The contact was concerned that he had carbon monoxide poisoning related to a faulty canister purge valve. However, no medical attention was received. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 129,800.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that on multiple occasions; the vehicle failed to start up after refueling the vehicle with gasoline. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and manufacturer control warning lights illuminated. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to a dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a fuel evaporation leak. As the failure persisted, the contact took the vehicle to Angela Krause Ford (1575 Mansell Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30009) where she was informed that there were recalled on her vehicle for the canister purge valve which the dealer related to the failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

I had and issue with vehicle check engine light. Took it to ganley ford west in cleveland Ohio. They replaced purge valve and 2 years later it is throwing purge valve. Code again. They also did some work on motor . They replaced water pump and a few other things. Shop seen loose bolts on intake.

VEHICLE'S GAS PEDDLE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE/LOCKS WHILE IN OPERATION. TWICE THIS HAS OCCURRED AT TOP SPEEDS OF 65 ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND THANKFULLY, IN SITUATIONS WHERE I COULD PULL ONTO A MEDIAN. THAT SAID, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION REGARDLESS AND SHOULD SUBSTANTIATE AN INVESTIGATION AS IT'S APPARENT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S EXPERIENCED THIS. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO TURN OVER WHEN FILLED WITH GASOLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO 5 STAR FORD LOCATED AT 900 RUSSELL PKWY, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENSOR AND PURGE VALVE WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,567.

PURGE VALVE SOLENOID BAD CAUSING CAR TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOT CODE P144A

WHEN FUELING THE TANK VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY RUNNING. ENGINE STARTS AND THEN DIES. THIS GOES ON UP TO FIVE MINUTES THEN ENGINE STAYS RUNNING WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CHECK CODES THERE IS P1450 STORED. OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING AND TURNING ENGINE OFF AND THEN RE STARTING A FEW MINUTES LATER, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE STUTTERS AND DIES AFTER DRIVING WHICH CAN BE IN A PARKING LOT OR MAKE TO THE HIGHWAY STOP AT A STOP LIGHTS WHICH GETS REALLY SCARY WHEN OTHER TRAFFIC IS AROUND. I LOOK UP MY VIN FOR RECALLS IT SHOWS NONE. IT STARTING HAPPENING A WHILE BACK JUST ONCE IN A WHILE ACCURRENCE, NOW EVERYTIME I FILL UP.

UPON APPLYING THE GAS AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR IDLE POSITION AND SOMETIMES AT SPEED, MY 2014 FUSION WILL SPUTTER WITH JERKING MOTION WHILE LOSING RPMS AND POWER BEFORE STALLING ALTOGETHER. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY AND TODAY IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE ROAD. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE CARS ARE APPROACHING AND MOST LIKELY NOT ANTICIPATING MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART, WHICH THUS FAR HAS WORKED; THOUGH, THE CAR IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO START AFTERWARD. THERE'S A HESITATION TO START AFTERWARD, AS IF THERE'S NO FUEL, BUT NOT LIKE AN ELECTRICAL OR STARTER ISSUE.

GAS TANK MAKES A LOUD TAPPING NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS OVER 3/4 FULL.

TAKATA RECALL: THE CAR IS STALLING WHILE I AM IN DRIVE, WITH SPEEDS UP TO 70 MPH. IT ALSO WILL NOT START AFTER I HAVE PUT GAS IN THE TANK. I HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS TO GWT IT TO START. THE CAR IS ALSO SHAKING BACK AND FORTH WHILE IN PARK JUST TRYING TO STAY STARTED. THEN IT WILL DIE. EVERYTIME I COME TO A STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN I GO THROUGH THIS AND HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY STARTING IT BACK UP CONTINUOUSLY.

THE PURGE VALVE WENT OUT ON MY CAR AFTER NEVER HAVING ANY PERFORMANCE OR EMISSIONS RELATED ISSUES. UPON RESEARCHING, IT SEEMS TO BE RATHER COMMON IN FORD FUSIONS. IS THERE A RECALL REVIEW WARRANTED AT THIS TIME? I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND STARTED HEARING A LOUD HUMMING, VIBRATING SOUND COMING FROM MY GAS TANK / GAS CAP AREA. IT CONTINUED TO HUM EVERY 15 SECONDS OR SO OVER THE NEXT 20 MINUTES UNTIL I ARRIVED AT WORK. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES AND MY CAR SEEMED TO RUN JUST FINE. THIS IS, HOWEVER, AN EMISSIONS CONCERN AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN FORD FUSION FORUMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FOR A RECALL ALERT.

FUEL WILL BE AT 43 MILES TO EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN IT'S SITTING

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST 2.0 TURBO THE VEHICLE RUNS GREAT UNTIL YOU SHUT IT OFF. ONCE YOU START IT UP IT RUNS FINE THEN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES NOT EVERYTIME IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. IT WILL ALSO START SHAKING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THEN SHUTOFF. I HAVE AVOIDED TWO HEAD ON COLLISIONS AT INTERSECTIONS TURNING LEFT WHEN THE ENGIN DIED, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BOTH TIMES AFTER A FEW MINUTES THEN I NEARLY HAD A REAR END IMPACT WHEN MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, I W AS GOING 65-70 AND AS I MERGED OVER THE CAR SPUTTERED AND SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW.. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE ALL WITH A FORD ECOBOOST ENGINE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE PURGE VALVE. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS ALL ECOBOOST MOTORS. THIS IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THE FORD FOCUS 2.0 LITER CARS. SUFFICE TO SAY I AM VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN EVER I DRIVE IT NOW. I WANT IT FIXED OR GONE. THIS STILL HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY.

SHOWS CODE P4150 MAKES LOUD HUMMING NOISE SULPHER SMELL JERK THEN DIES WHILE DRIVING CITY STREET. HAS HAPPENED 11 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE PURGE VALVE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

WHEN AT A STOP OR.LIGHT MY CAR JUST DIES TAKE A WHILE TO RESTART BUT HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON ACCLATEOR TO KEEP RUNNING. BATTERY,ALTERNATOR, STARTER ALL GOOD

WHEN I INITIALLY START MY VEHICLE THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM STARTS IF I TURN MY CAR OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. IT WILL START AND I CAN DRIVE FOR ABOUT 500 FEET AND IT WILL THEN TURN OFF. I HAVE TO RESTART IT AND THEN IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I START, STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALWAYS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED THE FUEL TANK WITH 3/4 OF FUEL, A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NOISE SOUNDED AS IF THE EXHAUST MAY HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT WAS AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HIGHLIGHTED THAT THE FUEL TANK RATTLING NOISE ONLY SOUNDED WHEN THE TANK WAS 3/4 FULL AND BECAME MORE PROMINENT IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

WHILE IN MOTION, MY 2014 FORD FUSION ABRUPTLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A FEW SECONDS (AROUND 20 SECONDS) AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, AND AFTERWARDS IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE ROAD AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. IT HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AFTER GETTING TWO DIAGNOSES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH THE LOW SIDE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT. IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THE FACT THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT TRANSPIRED. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM GAVE NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS IN BREACH OF THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT ABRUPTLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CASUALTIES TO THE OWNER AND NEARBY VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY SYSTEM/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IS INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. THIS SAFETY DEFECT REPAIR SHOULD BE REIMBURSED TO OWNERS OF THIS FORD VEHICLE. *JS

MY CAR STARTED STALLING AFTER EVERY GAS UP, FOUND IT TO BE THIS PART FORD OEM EMISSION SYSTEM-HOSE ASSEMBLY DG9Z9D289D* I HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS PART BUT I AM TOLD IT IS ON BACK ORDER FROM FORD AND THEY WON'T START SENDING THESE OUT UNTIL MARCH OF 2018 - THIS ISSUE CAUSES PRESSURE IN MY GAS TANK SO MUCH THAT THE PRESSURE MAKES A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE TANK AND IF YOU PRESS OPEN THE CAP LESS GAS INPUT IT RELEASES PRESSURE LOUDLY - SECONDLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WILL NOT IDLE AND STALLS OUT WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS - ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYWHERE WHEN YOU LET OF THE GAS!!!AND WON'T RE-START UNTIL AFTER 4 OR MORE TRIES. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!! IS MY GAS TANK GOING TO EXPLODE!!! OR WILL I DIE AFTER SOMEONE HITS ME WHEN IT STALLS OUT? *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THAT SHE REPLACED EVAPORATIVE PURGE VALVE AND IT CORRECTED. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO WOULD SURGE FORWARD. I HAVE INFORMED THE FORD DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE JANUARY 2017.

HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM NEAR THE GAS TANK, SOUNDS LIKE A GOOGLING OR FUNNY NOISE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SPUTTERS AND CUTS OFF. ALL THE NOISE WAS BEING MADE WHILE DRIVING IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN PARK

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. CAR WOULD GO INTO LIMITED POWER MODE AND THEN WOULD CUT OFF RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

FUSION WOULD STALL AS I WOULD BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. NOT ONCE DID THE SENSOR COME ON THE VEHICLE TO ALERT ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FUEL INJECTOR PRESSURE WAS THE PROBLEM.

GURGLING IN GAS TANK AREA AFTER GAS FILL UP CAN BE HEARD IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT UNTIL TANK GAS LEVEL GOES DOWN BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL. ONLY OCCURS WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL OR VERY NEAR FULL.

THE WINDOW STICKER CLAIMING EPA/DOT FUEL ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT IS DECEPTIVE. THE WINDOW STICKER CLAIMS 22 CITY AND 31 HIGHWAY PER GALLON FOR THE FORD FUSION 2014. MY CAR HAS 17000 MILES AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I'M NOT GETTING AS CLAIMED. I'M GETTING ONLY 16 IN CITY AND 26 IN HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS FALSE CLAIM BY FORD SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, MAKING PARKING MANUEVERS, OR JUST STTING STILL THERE ARE NOISES COMING FROM THE GAS TANK AREA OF MY VEHICLE. THEY SOUND LIKE RATTLING, GURGLING, VIBRATING, OR PERCOLATING SOUNDS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS IN MY AREA AND NEITHER ONE CAN/WILL TELL ME WHAT THESE NOISES ARE, ALL THEY SAY IS THAT IT COULD BE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS AND THAT IT IS A NORMAL OPERATING FEATURE OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE. FRANKLY I DONT BELIEVE THAT AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS NOISE FROM ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. FURTHERMORE IF THE DEALERS THEMSELVES CANT TELL ME WHY MY CAR IS MAKING THIS NOISE THAN HOW CAN THEY SAY ITS NORMAL.

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 FORD FUSION SE EGO BOOST IN JULY OF 2014. WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, THERE IS A LOUD AND DISTINCT RATTLING NOISE ORIGINATING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR WHICH APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. INITIAL INSPECTION BY FORD FAILED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE NOISE. DRIVING THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS LED ME TO DETERMINE THAT THE NOISE WAS PRESENT ONLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO FORD TWICE, BOTH TIMES WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THE NOISE IS "NORMAL" BUT THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT IT. I'VE ESCALATED MY CONCERNS TO FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO TOLD ME THAT THE NOISE IS INHERENT IN THE DESIGN AND NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM, I TOLD HER THAT ANYTIME A FUEL TANK IS VIBRATING AND HITTING EITHER THE EXHAUST OR THE UNDER BODY OF THE CAR IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER TECH HAVE INFORMED HER THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM BAD BAFFLES IN THE TANK, I TOLD HER THAT WHO EVER SAID THAT THINKS THAT I AM STUPID AND THAT I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RATTLE AND A BAFFLE PROBLEM. SHE REPEATED IT NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. I TOLD HER THAT IT MAY NOT SEEM THAT WAY NOW, BUT YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE FUEL STARTS TO LEAK FROM YEARS OF RUBBING IT WILL BE BECAUSE AT THAT TIME A FIRE OR EXPLOSION WILL HAPPEN. AT THIS POINT FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

1. BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON (AT DIFFERENT TIMES) WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. 2. WHEN CRANKING THE ENGINE DURING STARTING, THE CRANKING TIME TAKES ABOUT 4-5 SECONDS. THE EXTENDED CRANK TIME CONCERNS ME WITH RESPECT TO THE LONGEVITY OF THE STARTER AND BATTERY WEAR. 3. THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. WHAT'S EVEN MORE UPSETTING (CONSIDERING THE VERY LOW MILEAGE AN THE ISSUE HAPPENING ONLY 3 WEEKS INTO OWNERSHIP) IS THE FACT I'VE HAD THE CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND EVERY TIME I'M TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE PICTURES TAKEN WITH MY CELL PHONE OF THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ON AND I'M STILL NOT GETTING ANY HELP OR CONSIDERATION. THIS IS VERY, VERY FRUSTRATING!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AIR IN THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 FORD FUSION IN OCTOBER. WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, THERE IS A LOUD AND DISTINCT NOISE ORIGINATING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR WHICH APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. INITIAL INSPECTION BY FORD FAILED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE NOISE. DRIVING THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS LED ME TO DETERMINE THAT THE NOISE WAS PRESENT ONLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS AT LEAST 5/8S FULL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO FORD TWICE, BOTH TIMES WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE MANAGERS TELL ME THE NOISE IS "NORMAL" BUT THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT IT. I'VE ESCALATED MY CONCERNS TO FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICES ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE NEVER ONCE RETURNED MY CALLS OR RESPONDED TO MY WRITTEN INQUIRIES. NOISES FROM THE FUEL TANK ARE, NATURALLY CONCERNING AND DISCONCERTING. MY FRIENDS JUST BOUGHT THE SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME NOISE SO I BELIEVE THAT THEY KNOW A PROBLEM EXISTS AND CORRECTED IT, BUT ONLY PROSPECTIVELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS SMELLED WHILE IN THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,700.
