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.

SHUT CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES AND CAR RAN GOOD. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY MONTH WITH THE CAR BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT THIS TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH (COASTING) AND WENT TO GIVE IT SOME GAS AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE HAD NO POWER. WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, I WOULD RESTART THE ENGINE . IT WOULD REV IN NEUTRAL OK, BUT IF YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN AND YOU WOULD HAVE NO POWER. IF YOU LET THE CAR REST FOR A MINUTE OR TWO BEFORE RE-STARTING CHANCES ARE YOUR OK.

WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPAIR I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A WARRNATY ON PARTS BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY LABOR. AFTER CONTACTING FORD I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS AND LABOR WERE BOTH COVERED. I WILL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET THE REPAIR. WHEN I THINK ABOUT DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY WITH OUR 3 GRANDCHILDREN AND THINK ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THE CURVY MOUNTAIN ROADS IT TERRIFIES ME.
