Fuel system, gasoline, storage, auxillary tankNov 24, 2015
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.

Steering, Mar 18, 2018, crash
WHILE DRIVING AT 30-40MPH, I WAS DECELERATING AND CROSSING OVER A MERGING LANE APPROACHING A RIGHT TURN NEAR MY HOME. BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE MY MANEUVER, A LOUD AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDED AND IMMEDIATELY ALL POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND MY WHEELS LOCKED AND TURNED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. I WAS SENT INTO A 180 DEGREE SPIN DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND LOCKING OF MY WHEELS. MY VEHICLE WAS THROWN INTO NOW ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE MERGING LANE. IN A PANIC, I TRIED TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND MANEUVER OUT OF THE ROAD, BUT EVEN WITH THE FULL FORCE OF MY UPPER BODY, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY TURN THE WHEEL. MY PASSENGER, FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT, ATTEMPTED TO ASSIST MY EFFORTS TO STEER AND IT TOOK THE BOTH OF US TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL TO AN ANGLE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD. I'VE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITHOUT POWER STEERING BEFORE, AND I CAN CLEARLY ATTEST THAT IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A LOSS OF POWER STEERING THAT WAS HAMPERING MY ABILITY TO STEER. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. I'M POSITIVE THAT MY WHEELS WERE ESSENTIALLY LOCKED BECAUSE I WAS OVERCOMING NOT ONLY A POWER-STEERING LOSS, BUT ALSO THE EXTREME RESISTANCE OF THE FAILED POWER STEERING MOTOR. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT ABSOLUTELY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL SOMEBODY. I SEE THAT FORD RECALLED THE 2011 FUSION AND SIMILAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS POWER STEERING UNIT BECAUSE OF THE SAME FAILURE. I ALSO SEE THAT 2010 FORD FUSION OWNERS HAVE REPORTED FAILURES OF THE POWER STEERING UNIT WITH SUCH FREQUENCY (SIMILAR TO THAT OF ALREADY RECALLED VEHICLES) THAT NHTSA HAS OPENED A RECALL INVESTIGATION THAT AS OF LAST NOVEMBER HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL INVESTIGATION? THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SUNRISE BLVD. NEAR HOWARD STREET IN FAIR OAKS, CA ON 3/17/18.
