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.

WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS, SOMETIMES AT SPEEDS UP TO 70 MPH. THE CAR JERKS, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, AND THERE IS NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. A/C AND RADIO WORK FINE. AFTER NAVIGATING THRU TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER, WE TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND IT'S GOOD TO GO. BUT FOR HOW LONG? COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, RECALL IS NECESSARY. DEALER SAYS 2010 FUSIONS ARE "NOTORIOUS" FOR THIS THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM AND CHARGED $502 TO CORRECT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING , I STARTED SPEEDING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE AT LESS THAN 700 RPM), BUT ALL SYSTEMS WHERE STILL WORKING. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED NO RESULTS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP THE ENGINE, LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE FUSION DID THE EXACT SAME THING, I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE), THE REST OF THE SYSTEMS CONTINUED WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, STOP THE CAR , AND THEN RESTART. THIS IS THIRD TIME I TAKE TO THE DEALER, AND STILL RECEIVED NOT DIAGNOSTIC. ACTUALLY THIS VEHICLE IS IN THE DEALER WORKSHOP (AUTOMOVILISTICA VERACRUZANA SA DE CV. AV LAFRAGUA 2100 TEL 011 52 229 9231920 VERACRUZ, MEXICO) .

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I STARTED SPEEDING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE AT LESS THAN 550 RPM), BUT ALL SYSTEMS WHERE STILL WORKING. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCED NO RESULTS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOP THE ENGINE, LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, AND THEN RESTARTED IT. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND RAN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. YESTERDAY (JUNE 1ST), THE FUSION DID THE EXACT SAME THING, EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION (APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR). I HAD A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING (ROUGH IDLE), THE REST OF THE SYSTEMS CONTINUED WORKING. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING IN MY DIRECTION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT, STOP THE CAR, AND THEN RESTART IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THEY QUOTED THE PRICE AND LABOR AT $400 FOR THE REPAIR. I'VE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND IT ONLY HAS 49,800 MILES ON IT. IF I HAD BEEN PULLING ONTO A BUSY STREET AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF POWER, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FORD FUSION, AND THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN "REDESIGNED" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHERE I TOOK MY CAR FOR REPAIR. *TR

UPON STARTING MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, A MESSAGE APPEARED ACROSS THE DASHBOARD READING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ALSO "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC". I BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT EVEN 8 MONTHS AGO, THE MILEAGE BEING OVER WHAT A WARRANTY COULD COVER. TWICE I WAS TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BEING TOO "NEW" THE CODING COULD NOT BE DETECTED, READING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. CLEARLY WITH NO POWER STEERING, AND THE MESSAGES GOING OFF...THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OF THIS EXACT SAME COMPLAINT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOW SITTING AT A GARAGE AND I AM WAITING ON THE VERDICT. NOT TO MENTION I HAVE TO PAY JUST TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, I AM BEING TOLD IF SIMILAR TO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT SOUND LIKE THIS ONE, I COULD BE LOOKING AT ANYWHERE FROM $800-1500 + FOR THIS TO BE SOLVED.

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP ONTO A BUSY AVENUE WHEN THE "WRENCH LIGHT" ON THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER & COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 1 MILE. DROVE TO THE HOME OF A FRIEND AND HAD HIM GO WITH ME TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. CAR SHOOK HARD AND NEARLY DIED WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN. AFTER DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM I FOUND IT TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND MANY TIMES AT 70 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC EVEN ON NEW CARS WITH AS FEW AS 1300 MILES ON THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES. IN MANY CASES RATHER THAN LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE OPPOSITE WILL HAPPEN AND THE CAR GOES FULL THROTTLE FORWARD! THERE IS AN AVALANCHE OF DOCUMENTATION ON THIS PROBLEM AND FORD REFUSES TO DO A SAFETY RECALL. THE NHTSA'S SOLE REASON TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE IS SAFETY AND THIS IS CLEARLY UNSAFE. REST ASSURED THAT IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT FORCE FORD TO DO A RECALL PEOPLE WILL DIE. AS FOR MYSELF AND SEVERAL OTHERS I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH, WE WILL BE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND THE NHTSA FOR FAILING TO ACT DESPITE THE LARGE VOLUME OF READILY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET TO WORK. THE DAY THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I CHECKED FOR TRAFFIC BOTH DIRECTIONS. A CAR WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT, AND I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I KNEW WITH MY CAR'S ACCELERATION I HAD PLENTY OF SPACE TO PULL OUT SAFELY (IT HAS A V6 ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). I HIT THE GAS AND PULLED OUT. THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I BARELY HIT 5 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER REDLINED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED AGAIN. SAME THING - REDLINED. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND FINALLY SHIFTED TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN SAFELY, BUT IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION THEY COULD HAVE EASILY HIT ME. I JUST ROLLED OUT IN FRONT OF THEM BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND WHEN I HIT THE GAS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT INCIDENT, I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS TWO WEEKS OUT. I BOOKED THE APPOINTMENT AND CONTINUED TO (CAUTIOUSLY) DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK. THE CAR RAN ROUGH EVEN AT CONSTANT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LAST NIGHT I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE HIGHWAY TO GET THERE. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I ROLLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 5 MPH, HITTING THE GAS PEDAL AND GETTING NOTHING. AGAIN, I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL BACK WITH A DIAGNOSIS. *TT

DRIVING ON THE WEST VIRGINIA TURNPIKE AT 65-70 MPH WHEN THE RPM'S JUMPED ABOVE 4 AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT HAD NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE ENGINE. PULLED TO THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS GOING UP HILL INTO THE TRUCK LANE AND THEN EVENTUALLY ON TO THE BERM AS THE TRUCKS WERE NOW RUNNING FASTER THAN ME GOING UPHILL. IT WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A FORD DEALERSHIP ON THE TURNPIKE WHERE I COULD LEAVE THE CAR FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE REPAIRS TOOK A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS. FORD WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR AS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THEREFORE NO RENTAL COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE DUE TO FAULTY PARTS AND A POOR INITIAL REPAIR BY FORD. I HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE IN WEST VIRGINIA IN ORDER TO COMPLETE MY DRIVE HOME AND HAD TO DROP THE RENTAL IN COLUMBUS. $185 + GAS + DEPOSIT AND RESULTING NSF FEES IN MY CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR A 12 HOUR CAR RENTAL THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER. UPON GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK IT RAN SMOOTHLY UNTIL OCTOBER OF THE SAME YEAR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A NATIONAL CHAIN OIL CHANGE COMPANY WHO ADVISED THAT THEY COULD SEE TRANSAXLE FLUID ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE UNDERBODY OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO FOUND THAT THE REPAIR COMPLETED IN WEST VIRGINIA DID NOT GET THE PAN SEALED PROPERLY AND THE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE FAULTY SEAL, WHICH THEY REPAIRED BUT IT TOOK THEM 14 DAYS TO DO SO. FAST FORWARD TO MAY AND ANOTHER HARD SHIFT WITH A LURCH FORWARD AND THEN NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE ENGINE. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO COULD FIND NO ERROR CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. 5/13 - MOTHER'S DAY AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE CAR RUNS ROUGH. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW. *TR

ON 5/12/12 COMING HOME FROM A SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT WITH THE CRUISE ON AT AROUND 65 MPH THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE. COASTED INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED. WHEN RESTARTING SEEMED HARD TO START...LIKE AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE. ARRIVED HOME SAFELY (WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED). ON 5/13/12 (SUNDAY) SAME ISSUE EXCEPT IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING A 30 MILE TRIP. THE LAST TIME I HAD PULLED OVER AND PUT IT INTO PARK I WAS WORRIED IT WOULDN'T START...TURNED AND TURNED BUT SLOWLY...AGAIN SOUNDED LIKE AN ALTERNATOR. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL A FEW MONTHS BACK AND OF COURSE NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. SHORT STORY IS WHEN I HIT "RESUME" TO GET IT BACK TO THE SPEED IT WAS WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL THE RPM'S WILL RUN 5000-6000 FOR F A R LONGER THAN IT SHOULD. THE CAR WILL BE TO THE DESIRED SPEED AND IT WILL STAY AT THE HIGH RPM FOR 4-6 SECONDS INSTEAD OF KICKING INTO THE NEXT GEAR WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS HARD ON THE ENGINE AND GAS MILEAGE. NOT HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN THEIR INVESTIGATION OF MATTERS AND NOT HAPPY WITH THE CAR ITSELF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND GOING UP A HILL WHEN I FELT THE VEHICLE SLOW ACCELERATION AND THEN IT REVVED BACK UP. THE TRANSMISSION/THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON SO I PULLED OVER. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES. TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE IT LURCHED. I CONTINUED DRIVING HOME AND SINCE IT WAS AFTER 9:00 P.M. WHEN I GOT HOME, I COULDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. ON MAY 11, 2012 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE VEHICLE SLIPPED FROM 4TH GEAR INTO 5TH GEAR AND THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN SO THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PULL THE TRANSMISSION AND I WOULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 5-6 DAYS. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF THE 2010 FORD FUSION. *TR
