I purchased a 2011 ford fusion on 12/14/16. It had a half tank of gas in it when i took delivery. I filled the tank on 12/15/16. After driving it, i noticed a strong smell of fuel for about the top 1/8 of the tank. Due to a lot of snow and ice we have had, i have not been able to tell if there is actually any fuel leaking onto the ground but the odor is there once the car is parked after driving. There is a known…

Going down the road and there was a thump and the gas pedal quit working. The car didn't go dead but the gas pedal wouldn't accelerate the vehicle, coasted to the side of the road, turned it off and back on and the gas pedal worked. It did this twice on 8/22/14, once on 8/24/14 and has done it once today so far 8/25/2014. The first time it did this was 9/12/13 and it didn't do it again until 8/22/14. There are pages…

While driving down the interstate to work, the car all of the sudden jerked and started to decelerate. I was able to pull off onto the shoulder, while the car continued to jerk forward. I turned off the ignition, waited a few seconds, and restarted the car. I proceeded to reenter the highway, and a few seconds later it did the same thing again. I once again pulled off onto the shoulder, turned off the ignition, and…

I was driving my car and suddenly the engine just shut down in the middle of the traffic. This has happened constantly in the last couple of days. For a temporary fix we would need to turn the engine off and then on so the issue temporary ?disappears? This is a very serious situation and put the drive and other at risk. *tr

The battery always has a full charge. Also i have…

I was barely able to pull out of traffic and i nearly got hit in the rear by a tractor trailer. I turned off the car and got out my manual which said something about the throttle body. I turned on the car and everything was fine so i took the back road…

While driving at all times, the vehicle would start to surge and buck then loose power. It never completely died but when i pulled over it ran terrible and would not accelerate. I turned it off for a few seconds and restarted it. It would run for a while, good, then the problem would reoccur. The engine light came on, i had the code checked. The result was a faulty throttle body or sort in the throttle body module.…

While driving down the road the car jerked and the wrench lite came on. The car would not respond to the accelerator and would only coast. I was fortunate enough to be on a hill and was able to coast into a parking lot. I stopped the car, put it into park, and shut off the engine. I tried to restart it, and after a long crank the engine started, the wrench lite was off, and the car and accelerator responded…

My car lost complete power wile traversing an intersection. I was almost hit by a large truck as i had no power in my car. Tool it to the dealer and it is a defective throttle body that ford is aware of. Mechanic said he sees this happen all the time. Its very scary to be driving and suddenly lose all power and very dangerous. *tr

Was driving on a county road up a slight incline when the engine ran very rough and the car rolled to a stop. Tried to restart and had the same condition - as though the engine was running on two cylinders. Was in the middle of the road and other cars ran around me. A homeowner came to the rescue and we were able to get the car slowly rolling onto his driveway. After sitting for some time the engine then worked as…

She would have to coast to the side of the road to get out of traffic. She was able to turn the car off and start it again and clear the problem. It would go a couple of weeks without incident until all of the sudden would happen again. On most occasions, the…

Driving 70 mph down the highway and the motor simply cut off. Was fortunately able to make it to the emergency lane and come to a stop safely. Turned ignition off. Then turned the ignition on and the car immediately cranked back up. Drove to nearest gas station thinking maybe being low on gas with about 40 miles to empty was the issue. Filled up with gas and proceeded home. The next day, as we were beginning to take…
