Fuel/Propulsion System
Once again i have another big issue with this car and year. The car smells of fuel. Possible fuel tank corrosion. It is very unsafe for anyone to be within 20feet of the car , let alone light a cigarette or a match. Why is the nhtsa not recalling these vehicles, ford fusions, but recalling everyone after the 2010 year model. You recalled the 2013 for the fuel system, 2011 & 2012 for the power steering, alot of the…

Driving down the high way and my car lost all accelerating capability and almost caused a serious accident. My car was previously taken in three months ago because it was stalling but i was told by ford without any check engine light they couldn't do anything. I even did some online research before i went to ford and suggested the throttle body position sensor and they said it wouldn't cause my car to do that.

I believe this car is also affected by the electronic throttle body issues plaguing fords. I was driving the vehicle when it suddenly loses power and the "wrench" light appears. The vehicle lost speed and did not respond to the gas pedal. I was able to pull over and restart the vehicle with temporary resolution of the problem. This has been a gradually worsening problem.

The second time i had my cv joint boots replaced and found out they are wearing out the seals that are causing…

Twice the vehicle ran properly and was parked. Upon starting the vehicle, it ran fine for some seconds. As i pulled into traffic, the vehicle inexplicably lost nearly all power. The engine ran extremely rough and the car would barely move at all. I could barely get off the road because of the extreme loss of power and very rough idling. The wrench indicator light came on both times, but the service engine light did…

Throttle body failed and required replacement. This is a known issue and there is an extended warranty on the part, but because the repair was done at a private service center and not a ford dealership, ford refuses to pay for the repair. Guess i won't be buying a ford ever again! *tr
