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.

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.

WE HAD DRIVEN TO A FOOTBALL GAME, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS WORKED, IT TURNED OVER PERFECTLY EVERY TIME, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC IN THE MORNING AND IT STARTED FOR THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE TEST THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP STARTING. CHECKED THE CODES AND IT SAID O2 SENSOR. REPLACED O2 SENSOR. CAR DIED ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE MECHANIC WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHERE VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 60MPH WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TERRIFYING! I BARELY CHUGGED ACROSS THE LANES AND GOT THE NOSE OF MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A FEW TRIES IT RESTARTED. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF THE BATTERY FOR THE WEEKEND AS I READ THAT COULD HELP THE FAULTY COMPUTER ISSUE. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AGAIN. A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THIS, I NOTICED THAT AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN REALLY FAST LIKE PULSING.

I'VE TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS, AND REPLACED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD RESET THE COMPUTER AS THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP AND IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER CHIP.

I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IS NOT ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS OUT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER SAID THIS IS VEHICLE SPECIFIC RECALLS. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY THIS ISSUE IS ONLY RELATED TO SPECIFIC VEHICLE WHEN THE SAME ISSUE SHOWS UP IN THE SAME CAR AS THE RECALLED CARS? I HAVE UPLOADED THE RECEIPT FOR THE REPAIR.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING (9/27/209) AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL TAKING DAUGHTER TO BUS STOP. PREVIOUSLY I HAD TAKEN CAR TO DUNCAN FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL??? BESIDES THIS INCIDENT (WHICH IS SCARY IN ITSELF), IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN STARTING CAR IN DRIVEWAY, HAVE TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND ON TO CLEAR WARNING AND REGAIN POWER STEERING. ALSO, HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FOUGHT FOR CONTROL OF VEHICLE.

THERE IS A MASS PROBLEM WITH FUSIONS AND THE AC. FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE FIX IS, THE DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FIX IS. THEY JUST KEEP REPLACING STUFF. THE PROBLEM IS THE AC BLOWS COLD..THEN STOPS AND BLOWS HOT. FREON IS FULL, COMPRESSOR WORKS FINE, NO LEAKS, NO CODES REPORTED WHEN CODES ARE READ.
