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.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE ON WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW. IT DID NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND ALL WAS FINE UNTIL 10 MILES LATER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I PULLED OFF AND DROVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, BUT TURNED OFF A FEW MINUTES LATER. THE CAR KILLED TWICE ON SURFACE STREETS, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. GARAGE HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE "THROTTLE BODY WIRE." *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. LOOKING AT THE RPMS THEY WERE MOVING UP AND DOWN.. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AS I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING. AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES PULLING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I WAS ON A ROUND TRIP FROM KENTUCKY TO OHIO, NO MORE THEN 80 MILES TOTAL, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED A MAJOR COLLISION!!! AFTER GETTING HOME AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON LINE I CANNOT BELIEVE THE HORRIFIC AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING.

IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH THE LAST ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE AS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. SHE MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS IT WAS DYING AND SHAKING. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART SO IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.

THROTTLE BODY! I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A WHILE NOW. STARTED WITH THE CHECK FUEL INLET CAP LIGHT COMING ON. FYI, I HAVE NOT FUEL CAP FOR THIS CAR. HAD IT CHECKED, THOUGHT IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. THEN THE ISSUES STARTED TAKING PLACE. HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE I WOULD BE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON IN THE CAR AND IT WOULD COMPLETELY LOSE ANY THROTTLE CONTROL. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE, CAR WOULD STILL BE RUNNING, BUT ONCE STOPPED WOULD SHAKE AND SPUTTER, I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND THEN IT WOULD FIRE RIGHT BACK UP. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE MAYBE 3 TIMES BACK TO BACK AND THEN WOULD NOT DO IT ANYMORE. I KEPT BEING TOLD, WHEN IT HAPPENS BRING IT IN....THAT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND NOW AT LOWER SPEEDS AND AS OF LAST WEEK, AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. NOW IT IS PARKED, CAN'T GO 2 MILES WITHOUT IT SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, YET THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. FORD IS TELLING ME THE PART IS BACK ORDERED, AND THAT I MAY HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH FOR IT TO COME IN. I WORK AND HAVE TWO KIDS AND NOW FORD WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO WAIT TO GET IT FIXED.

IN THE PAST MONTH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE THROTTLE DID NOT WORK NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD CORRECT IT WAS TO TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. IN A COUPLE OF THESE INSTANCES I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR (BUHLER FORD IN EATONTOWN NEW JERSEY) AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART SINCE THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AWAITING THE PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I WENT ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION AT ALL THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG PRIOR TO THE DECELERATING AND SHAKING. THE RAPID DECELERATION CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. I HIT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME AND WITH SOME DIFFICULTLY (DUE TO THE SHAKING) WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I WAS SAFELY OUT OF TRAFFIC I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A MOMENT TO CALM MYSELF AS IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE DASH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY. WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY OFFICE I LOOKED FOR SIMILAR INCIDENT ON THE WEB AND WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERY SAME THING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAVING NO CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF A VEHICLE IS LIFE THREATENING. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT WOULD VERY LIKELY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM - WHAT GUARANTEE IS THERE THAT THE NEW PART WILL NOT DO THE SAME THING. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FORD DOES NOT THINK IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO RECALL OR AT THE VERY LEAST WARN THEIR FUSION OWNERS! *TR

I THEN DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO BO BEUCKMAN OF WEST COUNTY, ELLISVILLE, MO. THEY PUT A CALL INTO FORD HOTLINE. I WAITED FOR AN HOUR THEY STILL DID NOT RETURN A CALL. RANDY TOLD ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT MAYBE A THROTTLE ISSUE. HE CALLED FOR THE PART AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY BRING THE ENGINE DOWN TO IDLE OR STALL THE CAR COMPLETELY AND SEND A P2111 OR P2112 ERROR CODE (THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN/CLOSE, RESPECTIVELY) AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN ORDER TO BRING THE CAR BACK INTO A NORMAL RUNNING STATE. RESETTING THE CAR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY, AND ABOUT 40-50% OF THE TIME THE CAR STALLS AGAIN RIGHT AFTER ATTEMPTING TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC.

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE, VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR, BUT LIGHTS, RADIO ETC. ALL REMAINED ON. A WRENCH SYMBOL WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. AFTER COASTING TO THE SHOULDER, I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT SHUTTERED AND SHOOK UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTIONING. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN A WEEK OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL MAY OF 2013. FOR A WEEK EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IT DIED, PARTICULARLY WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. AT THIS POINT THE MILEAGE IS AROUND 42K MILES. AFTER NEARLY BEING HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER WHEN TRYING TO JOIN THE INTERSTATE, I PROMPTLY DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAS BEEN LEFT AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS ON BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. I AM WONDERING IF FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY ISSUE A RECALL ON AN OBVIOUS FAULTY PART! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 70 MILES AN HOUR, SOUTHBOUND IN THE HOV LANE OF I-95 NEAR EXIT 2B IN ALEXANDRIA VA. THE AREA IS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH BARRICADES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TWO LANE HOV FACILITY. SUDDENLY, AND ABRUPTLY, I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP IN A MANNER THAT BLOCKED THE RIGHT LANE OF THE HOV FACILITY. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING IN A ROUGH IDLE, AND THE ENGINE/WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR (SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING THE CAR BACK ON TRYING A VARIETY OF SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO N OR P). THE CAR WOULD RUN, BUT ALWAYS AT A ROUGH IDLE WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. DURING THIS TIME, THERE WERE SEVERAL NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS DUE TO MOTORISTS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEFORE ENCOUNTERING MY COMPLETELY STOPPED VEHICLE. REALIZING THE PERIL I WAS IN, I QUICKLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND HOPPED THE CONSTRUCTION BARRICADE. I CALLED 911 DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION AND IT TOOK AROUND 25 MINUTES FOR THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE VEHICLE TO ARRIVE. AFTER THE ENGINE COOLED, THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS WITHIN 90 SECONDS OF ME DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO DISCOVER THAT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND WELL KNOWN TO FORD. THE ISSUE IS SO PERVASIVE THAT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER ON THE PART WITH A LEAD-TIME OF MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. I WAS ANGERED TO LEARN THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE YET HAS NOT SENT NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM OR A RECALL AND IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I AM ANGERED OF THE PERIL THAT I WAS PLACED IN WHEN THIS KNOWN ISSUE IMPACTED ME IN ONE OF THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACES TO HAVE IT HAPPEN. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
