    I got my car services at 41094. They inspected nothing was found critical at that time. Then suddenly one day during driving on the street at about 35 mph the engine light turned on (milage ~45480). I have been experiencing some acceleration lag issues lately but those will come and go, the car will take longer time to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed. So, i dropped it off to the dealer. They have found that…

    The car acts like it wants to shut off after fueling. If i sit at an idle it will start to run rough. While in motion there is a vibration humming sound coming from where you put the fuel in. If i press the flap it releases a buildup of gas fumes.

    The car will shut off (no power, no engine) while driving. This occurs randomly and has occurred multiple times. I have brought the car in to ford - but they never successfully repaired it. Fortunately - it has always occurred in light traffic - but it is scary and i fear it will happen in heavy traffic someday i might be seriously injured. *tr

    I bought a used 2014 ford fusion from our local ford dealership with 34,000 miles on it, one owner, no history of any issues. As soon as i drove off the lot i could feel a hard shift between 2nd and 3rd and the engine revs up to 4500 before falling back down to around 2000. Then it's worse going from 3rd to 2nd when applying the brakes, the car jolts forward and the engine revs high as you apply the brakes. I've had…

    While driving on the highway my 2014 fusion cut off. A warning indicator popped up that said "transmission not in park". We had to coast off to the shoulder, fortunately there were no cars in the lane we had to cross to get to the shoulder. Later today (the same day) it happened a second time. The car loses all power. We were driving past the dealership we use, so we left the car with them to be fixed and have the…

    I was driving around when on three separate occasions the car lost power to the engine and there were no rpms and pressing gas pedal did not help. The only way to get the power back in the engine was to put car in neutral then back in drive at which point the car stuttered but at least i regained power to accelerator. This was especially dangerous as it happened while driving at normal speed and the car was no…

It started right up again.. The next day it lost…

    I have a 2014 ford fusion with 31,252 miles. It was built in september 2013 and purchased on june 27, 2014. On november 8, 2015, the engine stopped while stationary at a stoplight on a city street. It restarted without incident after it was put into park. The ignition switch torque seems sufficient to keep the switch from turning off by itself. The electronic display stated that the vehicle was not in park.
