Tamara recall my ford fusion make a 'frat' noise/sound that comes from the gas tank. When the noise starts the engine will narely idle and sometimes dies. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is being driven down the road or just sitting idling. One time i was pulling out from a stop sign when this noise started and the car died with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Other times it's just an annoyance an the engine…

My vehicle has stalled while driving and is hard to start after fueling with gas. After taking it to ford for recalls in october of 2018 and brought the issue up and they wanted to charge me for diagnostic. After taking my car to my mechanic shop for oil change and to look into the issue of stalling, they made me aware of the purge balance needing replaced and that would solve the issue with the vehicle stalling.…

My vehicle has been stalling out after fueling, as well as in heavy traffic, and at red lights. I took it to the shop, and the diagnostics indicating is was "low fuel pressure" reading, so they replaced the fuel pump. Two days later, i filled up with gas and it stalled out while in motion at 40 miles an hour, and within 15 minutes, it stalled again at the red light. I can feel the car beginning to stall, so i put it…

Engine stalls while driving with no warning may increase the risk of a crash. After it stalls you can put it in park, apply break and it will restart. This is not a good thing to happen on a highway. No fault code or service lights. It always does this after it has set for about an hour after running and then will stall about the time you get on the road. ( 200 feet )

Bad management valve part #dg9z90279d needs to be replaced. Told it was on back order for the next 2-3 months. Over 750 pending orders. This is a known problem with some vehicles being recalled for repair. This vehicle isn't on the recall list but in my opinion should be because of the safety concerns this has the potential for. This faulty valve is cause pressure to build up in the fuel tank that could possible…

I bought my fusion 6 months ago, and here lately i have been experiencing stalling issues. It tends to happen when the vehicle has been running for a while. I will sit in my daughter's school parking lot to wait for her to get out when all of a sudden the engine shudders and stalls. And other times it happens when driving in the parking lot at low speed, again it shudders and dies. We have changed a couple…

This 2013 ford fusion has begun randomly sputtering and then stalling when accelerating (the vehicle has 95,000 miles on it). You can put it in park and restart it just fine, but then may do it again in 30 second or never again the rest of the trip. It does not appear to be an issue if the car is cold or has been sitting a long time. It tends to appear once you stop for 10-20 minutes and get back in the vehicle -…

I own a 2013 ford fusion with 94,000 miles on it. I was driving to work on a one lane road and the gas pedal became unresponsive. There was no indication that anything was wrong prior to the loss of acceleration control. I had no control over acceleration/throttle; however, power remained on in the vehicle. The check engine light came on and then a wrench light that said check manual. I was traveling 65mph and had…

Car will stall when it is it is low rpm. It is more likely to stall after i have fueled up my car from it being low on calls. I can see the car shuddering and then drop the rpm very low. It has died when i have been in traffic before when i'm stopped at a light. It has died when i was leaving for work and backing out of my driveway. I noticed the issue of the car shuddering when i'm driving at low rpm and even when…

Car goes into limp mode and wont accelerate. Sometimes cleared with engine restart. Then it got worse and throttle would not accelerate engine at all. Car was towed to ford dealership. Bad throttle body diagnosed. Over 800.00 to fix. I see a lot of complaints online about ford throttle bodies on fusions and many are warrantied under ford csp 13n03, but apparently my ford isn't covered. Not sure why.

I went to a gas in town and filled up my car and only got 223 to a full tank and then it slowly creeped up as i was driving in town to 289. But i normally get 330-350 to a full tank. But when i first got it and the dealership filled it up, i got over 400 to a full tank.

Gas is leaking from the underside of the vehicle. First noticed a gas smell from the air vents so i initially thought a leaking injector, however when i looked under the car it was clearly leaking gas from somewhere. I did some minor research and saw that this year has several recalls for leaking fuel systems however i can't find a recall for this under this particular vin.

My vehichle has had the check engine light go on and off numerous times in the last six months, and smelled a funny smell coming through the vents. I get regular maintenance, have had the codes read as well as diagnostic test performed. The most i have been told is that there was a p144c code which is something to do with the fuel system wrong. Now when driving the vehicle began to stall. I took my car in to ford…

While driving at low speed (less than 10mph) the car begins to run very rough, rpm drops, and when pressing the accelerator, there is no power, and the car then dies. It can be restarted, but it's a bit harder than normal, and then it runs. Twice happened in parking lots, but once pulling into traffic from a parking lot, nearly causing an accident. Dealership has charged $190 only to tell me they can find nothing…

On local road, vehichle hesitates when i step on the gas. When i get to a stop light it shudders then stalls. This occurs frequently for the past two weeks as of this entry date.my vehicle has under 53k miles and the dealer says the part and fix is not under warranty. Its called a lo pressure gas sensor i believe. If its attached to the gas tank then how could it not be under warranty with under 60k miles standard…

After turning on the ignition and starting to drive away, the car engine will sputter, acts like its starving for fuel, starts bucking and then shuts off. No codes or warning lights are displayed. This has happened in parking lots and on street parking. It is very dangerous and i almost got in an accident when attempting to pull into traffic from a parallel parking stall on the street. Pressing on the accelerator…
