My 2011 fusion has 66,000 miles on it, and he ptu (power transfer box) is leaking. My "warranty" expired at 60k miles, so ford will not do anything for me. This is a known issue with ford, and they are ignoring it. My awd shouldn't fail with fewer than 67k miles. Oil leaks all over, i am now unable to turn on point. Loud raddling noises that could only be detected after a point turn.

The above car displayed a trouble light. A mechanic used an odb ii scanner and diagnosed the engine problem with the code "p2119" i did some research on line and found out that this is a common problem involving the throttle body. Is this a recall item?

My vehicle issued a warning " check fuel fill inlet" after filling my tank. It was very hard to fill and the pump kept shutting off. I read the manual and followed the procedure as directed to resolve the problem. Approximately 3 driving cycles later, the light went off. I refueled yesterday and fuel began leaking out from the fuel filling port and down the side of the car. I stopped several times and cleaned the…

After calling for help we found that the engine restarted and drove ok. No check engine light. Drove it home and it ran ok for about 1 month. Next time i was starting up from a stoplight in traffic and the throttle would not speed the car up.…

My check engine light came on and the error code is for a evap system leak. I took the car to a garage. They said there is most likely a small crack in the fuel delivery hose on the capless fuel system. However, to save money they said to go to a ford dealer because it could be under warranty or recalled. It is neither. The 2013 ford fusions were recalled for the delivery hose cracking. (recall no. 13504) now i…

During normal driving conditions and speed, the car just stopped being responsive to the acceleration pedal without warning, the maintenance wrench light came on, and the car started slowing down. I was able to turn on the hazard lights and pull over to a safe location, while cars were pulling up behind me very quickly. As the car was left idling it became very rough, like the car was missing. To correct the…
