Engine sputters, loses powers, and stalls. This appears to happen after the car sits for a period of time around 20-60 minutes after having been driven and then is once again started and driven again. After being placed in gear and driven a very short distance (5-10 second low speed time wise) the engine will begin to exhibit the stalling symptoms of low rpm and hesitation and all associated systems will begin to…

Seconds after starting the engine, it occasionally sputters to a stop when i begin to accelerate. Restarting the vehicle once or twice, the problem continues. Eventually, on the third or forth attempt, the engine runs fine without trouble. This problem occurs about once every four to six weeks. Other owners report the engine dying while driving at normal speeds. I have not experienced this. It only happens when i am…

Started car for 3rd time, and it continued to sputter, i pushed on accelerator, and put in drive, and as i drove about 20 meters, the car seemed to still sputter.…

Vehicle occasionally idles rough and stalls while driving down the road. Restarts fine, sometimes not doing it again for days and sometimes doing the same thing multiple times on the same trip. Usually occurs under 40 mph, and is really becoming a safety concern for me and my family. 28,000 miles on the odometer.

Power stays on, but engine fluctuates rpm in a lunging fashion before puttering out. Car can restart with strain on the starter but will do the same thing again even if left idling in park after 1-2 minutes. Remedy i have found is…

Awhile back the car started making strange noises, that came from the fuel inlet behind the gas door, sounding like pressure escaping. Pressing the door in (capless fuel tank) confirms this, as the vacuum is released. Car idles rough, and in some cases, after refueling, it will immediately stall. Upon further research, it seems to happen to quite a few fusion owners, with videos and forums posts to verify. Ford…

While driving this vehicle the engine misfires decrease in power and completely stops acceleration. It also uses a great deal of fuel. The coolant constantly leaks out and the engine overheats every few minutes. The car also overheats when sitting in a parked position. While driving on the freeway the car slowed to 25mph. We were very close to being involved in an accident.

The vehicle was in motion going about 40 mph when it suddenly lost power and the engine began running rough. The car just slowed suddenly. This happened four times before ford could get the code to show up. It was the electronic throttle body.

This car has been in multiple times for loss of power and engine cutting out during acceleration. It has become dangerous. This is the ecoboost engine. Ford is not telling all about the dangers of this problem. I have almost been killed several times trying to accelerate into the roadway.

Took to dealer and they again diagnosed #3 cylinder mis-fire. Cylinder…
