Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Ford Fusion vehicles manufactured July 21, 2008, to March 4, 2011, and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan vehicles manufactured July 23, 2008, to December 10, 2010. The affected vehicles have fuel vapor canisters whose purge valves may not operate properly resulting in abnormal pressure changes in the fuel tank.
The pressure changes may cause the tank to crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle powertrain control modules and inspect the vehicle for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for this issue and perform a leak test on the Canister Purge Valve (CPV). The fuel tank will be inspected for cracks. The CPV and fuel tank will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016.

MOST RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION AROUND 25 MPH, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF, AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. MY RPM'S DROPPED AND MY WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT APPEARED FINE. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THIS CAR IS A BRAND NEW 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 68,000 MILES. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM/EXPENSE AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED. SIDE NOTE: I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT IT. THE OTHER PROBLEM RELATED TO TRANSMISSION "REVVING" THAT OCCURRED WHEN DECELERATING AROUND 25-40 MPH OR BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY COMPLETED COMPUTER RESETS AND RAN OTHER TESTS. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. WE ESCALATED TO THE BBB AND WAS AWARDED A FORD FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER INSPECTION AND HAD A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER INSTALLED. THE ISSUES I DESCRIBED COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. *TR

AS I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I FELT THE CAR SORT OF SLIP OUT OF GEAR. IT BEGAN SLOWING DOWN SO I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND SHORTLY AFTER, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED. I COASTED DOWN THE HILL AND PULLED OVER. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT SEEMED TO BE FINE FOR 5 SECONDS AND THEN THE TWO LIGHTS REAPPEARED. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND LUNGING FORWARD. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, LUCKILY, SO I COASTED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IS A MAJOR KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION. I'M WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WAS JUNE OF 2011. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STALLED OUT AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO FORD THAT DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY REPLACED IT. NOW IT'S AUGUST OF 2013 AND I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AGAIN. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND MY VEHICLE STALLS AND I CAN'T ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T FIX IT. WHEN I CONTACTED MULLINAX FORD IN APOPKA, FL THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH THAT CERTAIN PART AND THAT THEY HAVE THE MOST UPDATED VERSION OF THE PART THAT THEY SAID FORD HAS FIXED THE DEFICIENCY WITH IT.

I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES PER DAY, 5 DAYS A WEEK. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS OF 45-60 MPH, MY FUSION LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. EACH TIME, THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD SO I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RESTART MY VEHICLE BEFORE I COULD RETURN SAFELY TO THE ROAD. DURING EACH INCIDENT, I WAS IN SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND LOSING ALL POWER CERTAINLY CREATES A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 FORD FUSION SE V6. I WAS TRAVELING AT 80 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR DECIDED IT NO LONGER WISHED TO ACCELERATE. MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY AND DRASTICALLY SLOWED DESPITE KEEPING MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE ACCELERATOR. BECAUSE I DID NOT TOUCH MY BRAKES, THERE WAS NO WARNING OF MY RAPID DECELERATION TO THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME BY WAY OF BRAKE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME MISSED HITTING ME BY ABOUT 2 INCHES AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND THAT HAD TO SWERVE - IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC - TO AVOID HITTING BOTH OF US. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I QUICKLY THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR SHOOK, SPUTTERED, AND SEEMED TO TRY TO LITERALLY JERK FORWARD ENTIRELY BY ITSELF. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON WAS THE LITTLE WRENCH (THROTTLE CONTROL/POWERTRAIN/STABILITY). I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED THE KEYS. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, THEN I STARTED UP THE CAR, SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE. IT WAS A TRULY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE BUT BOTH TIMES WERE AT LOW SPEEDS WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK DRIVING DOWN COLUMBIA PIKE ROAD IN ARLINGTON, VA. @ 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON ON AUGUST 22, 2013 HEADING TOWARDS INTERSTATE 395. I HAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I LOOKED AT THE DASH BOARD AND SAW AN ILLUMINATED WRENCH AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE STREET LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I MASHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY FORWARD MOTION. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO WARN THE OTHER CARS AND FOR MY SAFETY, THAT I WAS HAVING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND COASTED DOWN THE HILL LOOKING FOR A SAFE LOCATION TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AS I COAST DOWN THE HILL, I CONTINUED MASHING THE GAS PEDAL WITH NO RESULTS. I PULLED OVER STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY NEXT STEP. JUST BY CHANCE I DECIDED TO TRY AND RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED UP WITH FORWARD MOTION. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE 395 NEAR THE PENTAGON, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED MY WIFE WHO LIVES IN ATLANTA AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND BY CHANCE THAT EVENING ON THE ATLANTA NEWS OTHER FORD OWNERS WERE DESCRIBING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE (THROTTLE BODY FAILURE) ON THERE FORD VEHICLES.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION IN APRIL OF 2012 AND HAVE HAD MANY INCIDENTS OF THE "CHECK FUEL INLET" MESSAGE AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THAT THE GAS FLAP DIDN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I REMOVED THE FUEL NOZZLE. THIS AGAIN OCCURRED ON AUG. 17, 2013 BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN ON AUG. 22 I HAD 3 INCIDENTS WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL THE NEXT 4 MILES WITH SOME SPUTTERING AND RACING OF THE ENGINE. THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER. THE THIRD INCIDENT I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

IF THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME AND I STALLED I WOULD B DEAD FOR A FAULTY PART FORD HAS NOT YET SEEMED TO RECALL.. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP... HELP SAVE LIVES NOT TAKE THEM!!!!! WE PURCHASE CARS TO BE RELIABLE NOT A DEATH TRAP! *TR

WAS DRIVING ALONG AND SUDDENLY, THE CAR JERKED AND FELT LIKE I HAD DOWN SHIFTED, ALTHOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTARTING, CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR A FEW MILES. SOON, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND EVEN WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE INCIDENT SEEMS TO MATCH THE "THROTTLE BODY" COMPLAINTS. *TR

SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY FUSION BRAND NEW, IT LEFT ME STRANDED 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A WRENCH LIGHT ON AND NO ACCELERATION. AFTER A TREMENDOUS TOW BILL THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER (YES I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY) I HAD MY CAR BROUGHT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND FOUND TO BE AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, IT STARTED DOING THE SPUTTERING AND JERKING AGAIN AND THAT WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER CONTROL TO MY VEHICLE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MINS IT DID CRANK BACK AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS SAYING ALL I CAN DO IS PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT AND IT IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECURRING PROBLEM CAN'T BE FIXED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE A CAR DO THIS WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR LIKE I DO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 4:30AM IN THE MORNING AT 65 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE RPMS THEN I NOTICED A YELLOWISH WRENCH LIGHT COME ON. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY WHILE PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS JUST MAKING A SPITTER AND SPUTTERING NOISE AND SPEED WOULD ONLY MOVE AT 2MPH. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM I WAS BROKE DOWN AND THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH BUT WAS AFRAID TO TURN IT OFF. HE CAME TO WHERE I WAS AT AND CHECKED THE OIL, THE OIL WAS FINE. HE TOLD ME TO START THE CAR. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS. HE FOLLOWED ME 20 MILES TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER WORK I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO THE BERM AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES AND AGAIN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A AUTO PART STORE WHERE THEY SCANNED AND FOUND THE CODE P2111. I SEARCHED ONLINE WHERE I READ THERE WERE A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP WITH PARTS DUE TO MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE (4 CYLINDER - SIX SPEED) IN FEBRUARY 2013. THE VEHICLE HAD 12,100 MILES AT PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 16,900 MILES. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE LITERALLY HAD NO POWER AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY, WITH NO RESPONSE TO INCREASE POWER VIA GAS PETAL OR DOWNSHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE, WHICH HAD A SHOULDER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND STARTED THE VEHICLE, WHICH HESITATED AT FIRST, BUT THEN STARTED. I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH NO ISSUES. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM GLAD THAT I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ($100.00 DEDUCTIBLE) BECAUSE THE OUT OF POCKET COST WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $500.00, FOR A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THIS COMPLAINT NEEDS TO BE FORWARD TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN REGARDS TO THE FAULTINESS OF THE THROTTLE BODY PART. I WAS LUCKY, BUT THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

CAR WENT LIMP. I COULD NOT POWER THE VEHICLE VIA THE ACCELERATOR. I COASTED TO A STOP, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND WAS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER THAN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PART, AS FORD KNEW IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD REPLACED IT FROM ITS INVENTORY. THEY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL AND I WAS FORCED TO PAY $540 FOR AN ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS. *TR

TWICE NOW I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER TO THE CAR, COULDN'T USE THE GAS PEDDLE AND STEERING WAS AWFUL. I HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT HOME AND DRIVE AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

FORD FUSION 2010 HAS DEFECTIVE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM/COMPUTER IDENTIFYING THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE NON-FUNCTIONAL PART CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SELF AND OTHERS. AT 60 MPH FREEWAY SPEED THE CAR GOES INTO AN INSTANT "LOW RPM MODE", CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF FOOT PEDAL CONTROL AND RPM IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 800. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS AN UNGUIDED MISSILE LOOKING TO STRIKE SOMETHING. THE POWER STEERING IS NON EXISTENT. MY CAR DID THIS ON 8-19-2013 WITH ONLY 12303 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY SENSING CIRCUITRY BEING DEFECTIVE. IT IS ONLY A LITTLE MORE TIME UNTIL THIS GETS SOMEONE KILLED. AFTER STOPPING WITH A DEAD ENGINE, STARTING AGAIN RESULTS IN VERY ROUGH IDLING AND NO MORE THAN 800 RPM, WHICH IS INCAPABLE OF MOVING THE CAR. SHUTOFF THE IGNITION, CHECK AND HAVE GOOD OIL AND TRANSMISSION AND COOLING LEVELS. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL, UNTIL ONE BLOCK LATER AT A STOP LIGHT......SAME THING AGAIN. IF FORD DOES NOT DO A RECALL ON THIS, THEY WILL HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON THE RELATIVES OF THE DEAD PEOPLE'S LAWSUITS! *TR

EVER SINCE 80,000 MILES ON MY CAR HAS HIT I'VE BEEN HAVING THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD MY RPM NEEDLE WOULD BOUCE AND FEEL THE GEARS HAVING TROUBLES CHANGING. AT THAT POINT WHEN THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE MECHANIC LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND DISENGAGE MY CAR NOT ALLOWING ME TO USE THE GAS. AFTER PULLING OVER THE CAR WOULD STILL REV AND SHAKE TO MOVE FORWARD. UPON PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNING OFF ALL WAS NEEDED WAS TO RE-START THE CAR AND WOULD BE GOOD. ONLY UNTIL RECENTLY THE PROBLEM ONLY INCREASED. I HAD A 30 MINUTE COMMUTE THAT TOOK 1 HOUR AND SINCE THE CAR WOULD DISENGAGE I HAD TO SWERVE AND VEAR TRAFFIC JUST TO PULL OVER INTO A SAFE LOCATION. MY CAR DURING MY LAST TRIP STALLED A TOTAL OF 19 TIMES IN 1 TRIP, PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL AS I CAN SEE PER THE INTERNET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. *TR

DRIVING AT 45 MPH, CAR LOSES POWER AND/OR ACCELERATION. WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND PULLED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND VEHICLE SHAKES TERRIBLY. SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED CAR. WRENCH LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND CAR RAN FINE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON THREE MORE OCCASION WITHIN A WEEK. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT STATED IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, EVEN DRIVING THE CAR BY A MECHANIC WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TESTER, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD EVIDENTLY DOES NOT WANT TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEIR IS NO CODE YET. THEIR ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. *TR
