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.

The affected floor mats may move and possibly interfere with the accelerator pedal.
The floor mat could shift such that it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, preventing its return to an idle position, which could result in unintended vehicle speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install new replacement mats, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Ford's customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S07. NOTE: Vehicles built after October 31, 2010, while potentially equipped with the same floor mats, are equipped with a Brake Over Accelerator (BOA) feature that prevents simultaneous accelerator and brake application, allowing the vehicle to be safely stopped by pressing firmly and steadily on the brake pedal.

MY FAMILY FINANCED OUR 2010 FUSION SEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011, WAS CERTIFIED USED WITH 7,900 MILES, PURCHASED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL. MY MOM AND MY SISTER DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS, THEY LOVED IT AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. THEY PASSED IT DOWN TO ME IN 2018 WHEN I GOT MY LICENSE, MY MOTHER TOLD ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CARS AND WHAT NOT TO DO, WE DON'T ABUSE OUR VEHICLES. THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT COMPLETELY WENT OUT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A GREEN LIGHT IT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR, WITH THE RPM JUMPING UP AND DOWN, SHIFTED HORRIBLY. I THEN DROVE MY POSSESSED CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED THE SAME DAY IN MAY OF 2018 UNDER WARRANTY AND WORKED FINE EVER SINCE (SOMETIMES). THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. EXTREMELY LEAKY 17' RIMS CAUSING MULTIPLE MORNINGS WHERE I WOKE UP TO A FLAT TIRE. FORD SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME STOCK RIMS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT IT (SAME PROBLEMS EVEN WITH NEW TIRES). TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT THAT'S BEEN FAULTY SINCE 2018 ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIX IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T. AND NOW I FEEL LIKE MY STEERING IS GOING OUT, I SOMETIMES LOSE POWER WHENEVER I TURN LEFT, THE ORANGE STABILITRAK/STABILITY LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH AND IS A LITTLE ROUGH, IN APRIL OF 2020 I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING LEFT, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED, IF I WOULDN'T HAVE STRAIGHTENED OUT MY STEERING I WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY HIT THE CORNER OF MY PORCH. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE FREEWAY, BOTH ENGINE AND STEERING ISSUES? DEALER SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND THAT IT'S FINE. RIGHT.. NOT WHAT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SAYS I'M 18 ABOUT TO GRADUATE AND GO TO COLLEGE IN SEPTEMBER, I CURRENTLY HAVE NO JOB DUE TO THE QUARANTINE, AND MIGHT HAVE TO CONSIDER PURCHASING A NEW FUSION BEFORE MY CURRENT CAR INJURES/KILLS ME. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2010 FUSION HYBRID. VEHICLE HESITATES FOR 1-3 SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THERE IS A DELAY BECAUSE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE POWER. I ALSO NOTICE THIS DURING ROUTINE DRIVING, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN THEN. THE HYBRID POWER SYSTEM HAS SIMPLY STOPPED PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL POWER REQUIRED BY THE POWERTRAIN TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN PULLING OUT OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR HAS ENOUGH POWER TO GET ME INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN HESITATES TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY FOR 2-3 SECONDS, PRESENTING A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER CARS. I AM LEARNING TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS DELAY BUT THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. OTHER DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL OF SIMILAR AGE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES ON FORUMS SUCH AS "FORDFUSIONHYBRIDFORUM.COM"

OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY FORD FUSION'S TRANSMISSION HAS SLOWLY BEGUN TO LOSE ITS SHIFTING ABILITIES. IT FIRST STARTED WITH SLUGGISH AND JERKY MOVEMENT WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC SPEED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE GOING. IT INCREASED TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH REV BEFORE MAKING A LOUD BANG AND HARD SHIFT INTO GEAR. AS OF YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP THEN WOULDN'T REENGAGE 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. I LIMPED IT DOWN THE ROAD TO THE NEAREST EXIT INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPOT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT, REVERSE WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE SPOT AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO DRIVE, THEN A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD ALL DRIVE GEARS WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT WHERE I SHUT IT OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MIN TO COOL AND TRIED AGAIN. NOTHING. I LOST ALL GEARS IN THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE, SINCE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC WOULD JUST LEAD TO THEM INFORMING ME OF THE SAME THING THAT ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS HAVE STATED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. A TRANSMISSION CHANGE FOR A MINIMUM OF $2500 AND THERE'S NO RECALL ON A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AND SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING FORD TRANSMISSIONS.

THE MANUFACTURER MADE THE VECHILE AND OF ITS A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY CUSTOMERS BUT BY THE MANUFACTURER THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX PROBLEMS THAT ARE SO EXPENSIVE AND THE CHARGE OF LABOR LIKE MYSELF! MY VECHILE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT HAD COME ON.

WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SPEED UP WHEN COMING FROM A DEAD STOP. EVEN TRAVELING SPEEDS OF 60MPH I CAN NOT PUSH ON THE GAS AND PROCEED FAST ENOUGH TO QUICKLY SWITCH LANES. IT RUNS HIGH RPMS

WHILE DRIVING FUSION SERVICE DOWN HIGHWAY SUNDAY(12-16-18) SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT CAME ON & COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS & HAD TO GET HOME TO PARK CAR BEFORE I HIT SOMETHING DUE TO STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD TO STEER, CAR SHAKING, AND COULDN'T HARDLY KEEP IN LANE. THE SERVICE ADVANCE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON & BOTH REMAIN ON & LITTLE TO NO CONTROL LEFT TO STEER THE CAR SO CAR REMAINS PARKED. FORD KNOWS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THIS PART AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIRS AND PART IS A NECESSITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE CAR. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE COST OF FORD MOTOR NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO SEEK A SAFE CAR TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN.

THE POWER STEERING MODULE IS BROKEN ON MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE NOW FOR A FEW YEARS. THERE IS AND HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 2011 AND NEWER VEHICLE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY MANY OTHERS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS EVEN DEATH. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED ON 2010 VEHICLES AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING MATTERS TO A LAWYER. THIS IS UNSAFE. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WENT OUT AND ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR
