After driving 10-25 miles and stopping for a short break to grocery shop or visit family. Starting the car up again and backing/pulling out of parking spot or drive way - it stalls.

I have talked to another ford fusion owner and they have had very similar…

This car (2013 ford fusion ecoboost) is approx 3 years old with only 59k miles. At slow speeds such as pulling out of a parking lot or coasting to a slow speed at a light or stop sign the engine just dies like it ran out of gas. You have to pull over and stop the car. You then have to restart the car. After a few seconds it starts just fine. It's random but becoming more frequent. It's a safety concern and dangerous…

We have had our 2103 fusion now for 2 months. 1 week after having the car it began to make a humming noise around the gas tank area, then when you slowed down for a red light the car would stall and be hard to start back. Sent the car back to the dealership to only be told they couldn't find anything wrong. Once we received the car back we drove it for a couple of days and the car started making the noise again and…
