    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,…

    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…

    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…

    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.

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…

    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.

    The idle of my engine is rough and when at a low idle in traffic it feels like it's going to stall. Lately, my car completely stalled driving at low speed up a parking structure. It completely stalled again when pulling into my driveway. I took it in, but the mechanic couldn't find a sensor triggering the issue.
