Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2006-2010 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and MKZ vehicles.

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.

THE NIGHT WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, USED FROM A FORD DEALER, IT WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE WITHOUT JUMPING/BUCKING. THEY WERE SWIFT TO GIVE US A LOANER WHILE THEY "REPROGRAMEMD" THE CAR. NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. THEY PUT A BANDAID ON IT UNTIL WE COULDN'T RETURN IT. SINCE THEN, JUST OVER 2YRS AGO, WE HAVE HAD THROTTLE REPLACED X3, CLEANED ONCE FOR $250 (WHILE ON THE WAY SOUTH FOR VACA, WE GOT STUCK HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HM UNTIL FORD DEALER OPENED 2 DAYS LATER.) THIS CAR HAS STRANDED US THREE DIFF TIMES WHILE OUT OF STATE ON VACA. NOW WHILE ON INTERSTATE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO ON, THE CAR STARTS BUCKING AND ACTING LIKE A MANUAL IN THE WRONG GEAR. BUT, HAS NO ACCELERATION. JUST REVS TO 4K-6K RPMS. DANGEROUS ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY SEMIS GOING FULL SPEED BEHIND YOU OR HAVING TO TRY AND CROSS 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO EMERGENCY LANE--WITH NO ACCELERATION! THIS CAR IS A DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP. SHOCKING TO ME HOW FORD HASN'T STOOD BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. WE, AS A HUGE EXTENDED FAMILY, HAVE ALWAYS STOOD BEHIND FORD. ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD. NOW, WE HAVE BEEN DUPED BY THEM. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD US A FAULTY CAR, PUTTING THOUSANDS OF OTHER BUYERS IN DANGER AS WELL, AND HAVEN'T DONE A THING TO PROVE TO THE CONSUMERS THAT THEY CARE ABOUT US AS CUSTOMERS OR ONE IOTA ABOUT OUR LIVES. IF FORD DOESN'T RECALL THESE, I KNOW WE WILL SEE DEATHS FROM IT. ITS PROB GOING TO BE THE NEXT AUTOMOTIVE WORLD SCANDEL LIKE THE AIRBAGS. OUR FUSION IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF METAL, WITH A HUGE PYMT, JUST SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY USELESS. SOMEHOW, WE HAVE TO FIGURE A WAY TO SAVE THOUSANDS FOR A TRANSMISSION ON A 6YR OLD CAR. NEVER THOUGHT FORD WOULD TURN OUT TO TREAT THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS THIS WAY.

THIS FIRST HAPPENED TO ME ON JUNE 1, 2016. MY 2010 FORD FUSION LOSES POWER ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN DRIVING. A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, ACCELERATOR DOES NOT WORK AND SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE. YOU WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURN IT OFF IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT IN THE HIGHWAY AND SPECIALLY WHEN SPEED LIMIT ITS 50 AND TRUCKS OR OTHER CARS ARE COMING AT A HIGH SPEED BEHIND YOU BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS. I TOOK MY CAR FOR A RECALL FOR SOMETHING ELSE ON JUNE 24, 2016 AND I MENTIONED TO THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT I'M SURE IT WILL NOT BE FINE IF I GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER WILL ASK IF THE LIGHT ITS ON IN ORDER FOR THEM TO CHECK IT. BUT I HAVE MENTION THAT THE LIGHT GOES ON AND AS SOON AS YOU LOSE POWER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON IT DISAPPEARS.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED EXPIERENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT LAST WEEK. THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR SLAMED INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PROIR TO THIS EVENT. THE CAR HAS EXACTLY 111,856 MILES ON IT TO DATE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID AN UPDATE ON THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CAR WAS FOUND TO NEED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT FORD FUSIONS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I CONTACTED FORD SO THAT THEY COULD DOCUMENT YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT ONE OF THEIR FUSIONS HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND ASKED THAT THERE BE A RECALL ISSUED. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF ISSUING A RECALL. SO I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THEM TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED DUE TO A TRANMSSION FAILURE ON THE ROAD.

LOSS OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION, DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE ENGINE RUNS AT HIGH RPM, BUT CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER CAR/TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR HOUR OR MORE. IT APPEARS BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHING, TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 6F35 TRANSMISSIONS IN FUSIONS AND ESCAPES. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY ON CITY DRIVING - WHICH AFTER IT IS ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS IN THE TOP GEAR. ON HOT DAY, WHEN THE CAR IS WELL WARMED UP, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IS VERY DIFFICULT AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

I PULLED OVER, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK IN GEAR SEVERAL TIMES TILL IT STARTED AGAIN. I PULLED OUT AGAIN ON THE 4 LANE AND THE CAR CONTINUED REVING AT AROUND 4,000 RPMS AND HAD NO POWER SO I GOT OFF THE ROAD AGAIN. THE "WRENCH" TROUBLE LIGHT LIT UP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, SAT ABOUT 5 MINUTES, STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WORKED FINE. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO A FORD DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT.

TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING JUST LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT ON FORUMS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CONSTANTLY REPAIRED.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE CRUISING ON THE FREEWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. LOST CONTROL OF THROTTLE AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULDN'T REV UP OR ANYTHING. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING IT BACK UP AGAIN IT DROVE FINE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT DISAPPEARED.
