I have had to replace the transmission, the head gasket, drive shaft and carrier barrings. When i had the vehicle fixed i was told i need a new gas tank as well.

While driving at low speeds the car has on several occasions surged forward and last week after starting the car the gas pedal was unresponsive and the "wrench" warning light came on. I restarted it and it seemed to be ok but the check engine light was on. I plugged in a code reader and it gave me error codes p2104 and p2112. I can't believe this isn't part of a recall based on the number of people it is affecting.

I was driving on a highway and suddenly my engine "staled" and the wrench light came on. It forced me to pull over, shut the vehicle off, and restart it after about 2 minutes. This was the first incident. It did it a second time while doing 40mph, trying to make it home. This is the exact same behavior that is covered by the 2009-2013 electronic throttle body recall.

On an interstate merge ramp, the fusion suddenly lost power and felt like it would stall. Wrench light came on and engine surged with acceleration, but never got over 40 mph. When i took my foot off the gas pedal, it felt like the car would stall; it lurched and managed to keep going very slowly. I feared for my safety on this very busy interstate. The car lurched and surged until i could get to a safe stopping…

Every time the vehicle gets gas, it doesn't even need to be a fill up, the entire passenger compartment is consumed with gas fumes. We took it to ford dealers and they say there is no problem you're probably just over filling it when you get gas or they are spilling gas but that is not the issue at all, i'm positive about it. We contacted ford corporate and they sent us to another dealer who said the same thing. I…
