While in motion and trying to come to a stop the ABS light came on and brakes went completely to the floor and barely stopped the car. It's now stuck that way. Abs lights always on and brakes are spongy. Also fuel pump whines loudly while car was driving and car dies while driving down the road and now won't accelerate going uphill. This has happened on many occasions and now it stuck having no power uphill or when trying to accelerate

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 10 to 15 MPH the RPM dropped and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to put the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle. The contact also stated that the vehicle hesitated to start after refueling. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed but was not repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v621000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The steering wheel is getting stuck it feelslike which made me rin off road I also had to cut seat belt on back seat cause it wouldnt raise up. Also fuel pump is going out and this is not right.
I try make this complaint twice now an gives a error this is serious my car is being stalled on highway due to purge valve an today the car is making a noise from the gas tank from what I'm told my car turned off because of this purge valve me an my kids could have been hurt I'm not the only one who thinks this should have been investigated along time ago people have made complaints online about the same issue I'm having !! I just replaced my fuel pump at delearship not long ago now this issue ! Do have video of the car making this noise from gas tank an alsocar is releasing a strong fume smell
Code p0087 fuelrail/system pressure too low
Car stalls at after stopping at red lights and some times after it been shut and restarted for no reason. The local ford dealership has had it for 3-4 days and can't figure out what is going on. No codes are being giving from the car. And this has happened multiple times. This is my daughters car and this issue has almost caused her to be in an crash due to it stalling at an intersection!
I was in reverse pulling out of a parking spot I was in the middle of a roadway when my car would not move anymore. The gear shift had detached from the transmission. I was lucky there was a tow truck mechanic who was able to reconnect it and move my car to safety. It has done this a couple more times since but it is now no longer driveable. In regards to the fuel the car makes a rumbling noise from the gas line, and makes the car fill with the smell of fuel. When I put the gas nozzle into the car a bubble sound and air pierces out.
Recently, I have been having issues with my electrical system/acceleration. I have a hard time getting my max A/C light to stay on and sometimes my radio display is delayed of coming on. Also, sometimes when I start my car, the dinging sounds distorted like my battery is about to die and I have a hard time starting the car. I started to think my battery was going bad but then one day I was driving down the road (in motion), my car was still running and no warning lights displayed, but I lost all acceleration. I had to limp my car to the nearest parking lot as I could not get any gas power. I turned my car off and immediately turned it back on and it worked just fine. Then a couple weeks later it did the same thing. I again had to shut it off, restart, and it worked fine. I have not had that issue since then but it is still worrisome. Luckily I was not put in danger especially since my 6 yo son was with me. I would hate to think of the outcome if this happened on the interstate or somewhere when I could not easily pull over to the side of the road. Is there a recall on this?
After driving my vehicle and I got out, I smelled gasoline. I looked under the car and all around the engine compartment and could not see any leaks. I used a flashlight and a mirror but did not remove any panels. I thought maybe it was just fumes, but the gasoline smell was just as strong after I drove the car the next time. I took it to the dealership and was told that the under body fuel lines just forward of the fuel tank were rusted through and leaking. There is a retaining clip that secures the line and that is where the line was rusted. There was never evidence of a fuel leak other than the smell, because the splash guard that goes under the fuel line was preventing the leak from making it to the ground. I could not smell the gasoline while driving, only after exiting the car.
When car is in motion smoke comes out from engine and from exhaust.
After I fill the gas tank and park my car in the garage, I can smell gas. After the car has been driven a few miles the smell goes away. The smell is only present right after I fill the tank up until the fuel level drops down from full. This only started about 2 months ago but has been present every time the tank has been filled since then. There was a recall for this problem (13s04) so I called my local ford dealer to try to get it fixed under the recall. The dealer told me that my VIN number is not included in the recall. I am pretty sure this is the same issue that the recall was created to fix so I think that ford should re-look at what cars they are willing to repair. It seems to me that they easily could have overlooked some cars that had that problem.
Initial ignition of the car results in engine stall out post abnormal ignition time. Fusion will display "power run active" then "press brake to start". This will repeat after another ignition attempt and re-show the same messages on the dashboard. After a third ignition attempt the engine does not stall out. The problem is not a sudden onset but initial symptoms of the issue is that the car will stall out after 10 seconds of driving. Initial re-ignition post stall results in normal function of the car without extra issue. However, this event becomes increasingly common over time until it simply stalls out immediately post ignition. Despite multiple trips to a ford certified professional mechanic, no codes are given by the computer which renders diagnosis of the faulty part or cause of the issue near impossible. Problem may present itself as faulty alternator, battery, or starter. However, even after replacement of any possibly faulty aforementioned parts the problem still persists.
Car struggles to crank after fueling up. It does not matter how much gas I have it will have to turn over three plus times to crank. Researched and numerous fusions have the same issue. It could be the purge valve. I have ordered the piece to put on soon.
Replacement of lug nuts after 60,000 miles. The lug nuts are known to wear out and then need replacement at a cost of @$150. Makes no sense. I need to replace the fuel vapor separator (9d289). This will be the third one on this car at @ $400.

Lost complete power and control of car no acceleration when pressing gas in the middle of street car slows down without no warning after parking the car a wreck indicator flash. This is the 2nd time it's hit down on me I had it repaid last year and it's happening again my life is at risk with this car shutting off on its own it's not fair that I'm being held responsible to pay for this faulty death trap vehicle. I couldn't drive my car in the middle of the road
When in park or driving my door opens up. My door will not lock and it's not safe driving my vehicle . And it's airbag singal on the dashboard .
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford fusion. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. Also, every time the vehicle was fueled, it would not start. The contact stated that the fuel pump was replaced two years ago by lenoir city ford (775 us-32, lenoir, tn 37771). The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or repaired again. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
After I drive the car, and turn it off, then come back 30-45 minutes later, and start the car up, the engine shuts off or I drive it 200ft., the car shakes violently, and then turns off. This has happened to me while parked and while moving in bumper to bumper traffic. This has happened multiple times over the last few months. The issue seems to only happen when the car is stationary or moving at low speeds.
Ford fusion 2013 while driving fuel gas cap will make a noise of air coming out, if it continues the car will turn off even when driving or stationary on both highway and street has happened more than 4 times ford agency said they will not fix it
Hello, on 03/14/2019 I chatted ford on my numerous recalls on my 2013 ford fusion. I was given case# (xxxxx) and told to take to a ford dealership for assessment on prior recall repairs. In 2017 we had a coolant recall and was told by dave littleton ford in smithville, mo. That we had anti-freeze all over our engine and they had to replace the whole engine. We never had any problems or signs that it had a coolant problem? We took in because we got the recall notice. My car has never ran right since. It idles fast etc. In december our flex plate cracked, now 3 months later it cracked again. Our mechanic says the engine does not appear to have been lined up correctly with the transmission and we will continue to have issues because of the shotty mechanical work done by dave littleton ford. We have taken to gary crossley ford in kc, mo. They also agree there is shotty mechanical work done to the engine repair due to recall? We have been 2 weeks with no word on how this issue is going to be resolved and are without a car? I need some answers? The engine was not aligned correctly and sealant was put in places it should not have been when replaced. I am no mechanic but they have submitted in the claim they are sending in with greater detail candice says:the reason I am asking these questions is because we are not able to view claims entered by the dealer. I want to understand what it is that they were waiting for. So, they can complete the repair, they are just waiting for ford to say it can be done under the recall, is that correct? Amy says: yes if I was not sold a car with a faulty part I would not have had coolant all over my engine to have to be replaced. If an appointed ford mechanic had correctly replaced engine I would not be in this situation? Ford continues to close claims and ignore issues!

After driving 10-25 miles and stopping for a short break to grocery shop or visit family. Starting the car up again and backing/pulling out of parking spot or drive way - it stalls. Power stays on, but engine fluctuates RPM in a lunging fashion before puttering out. This can happen multiple times a day or every couple of days it's very random. I have talked to another ford fusion owner and they have had very similar issues.
Smell of gasoline, both when in motion and stationary. Gets worse when fill the tank with gas. The smell improves when I set the cabin air to recycle.
My car shutters at an idol or slowly taking off where it shuts off.this has happened more then once and the scary thing is I've pulled out in a intersection and the car shuts off. I have to put it in park and restart it.it's happening more often now my engine light just came on after this happing for over a month now.
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.
Tamara recall check engine light remains on and car shutters sporadically.
My car and alot of other cars from the ford fusion model hase a known issue also a recall of the fuel pump. Error code p00c6. That makes the car stall out while driving. Almost caused an accident. I also put the issue on youtube and meny other people are having the same issue. This is clearly a recall.
My car is around 86,000 miles and in the past month started to shut off after about a 30 minute drive. My fusion makes a sound distinctive sound before this happens, somewhat loud and goes in and out. Engine completely seizes if I'm coming to a stop and I heard the sound. Car also has trouble starting after refueling.
Car stalling out while driving when the car has plenty of fuel. No check engine light will go on then goes off but the same issue is happening. This is a known issue with this model also a recall was issues but looks loke they missed my car. Car stalls out when im in traffic. Really whenever it wants to
