Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.
A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 17, 2020
MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF TURNING OFF EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR RIGHT AFTER I GET GAS AND NOT STARTING BACK UP. I HAVE GOTTEN THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AS THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER SAID WAS THE ISSUE AND ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR FORDS SINCE THEY RECALLED OVER A MILLION FORD FOCUS VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT MY MODEL IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST WHICH IT CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE.
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 28, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SUCTION NOISE COMING FROM NEAR THE FUEL TANK AREA. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE PURGE VALVE AND PCV) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. JENKINS & WYNNE FORD, HONDA, & LINCOLN (2655 TRENTON RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040, (931) 542-4886) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 26, 2019
STARTED CAR, GOT DASHBOARD LIGHT ON 7.6.19 MILEAGE 27721. CAR RUNNING ROUGH, ABOUT TO STALL,ETC. ERROR CODE P0302. CYL.#2 IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THEN, 2 WEEKS LATER GOT DASHBOARD LIGHT AGAIN, SAME CODE P0302. MECHANIC (PRIVATE)REPLACED PERCEIVED FAULTY IGNITION COIL AS PREVIOUS. ON 9.23 .19 CAR STARTED,. CAR RUNS ROUGH, ALMOST STALLS DASHBOARD LIGHTS AGAIN. THIS TIME WE TAKE IT TO ROYAL OAK FORD SERVICE DEPT. THEY GET P0302 AND ADVISE US TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS. $307.29 CHARGE. UPON INSPECTION OF SPARK PLUGS I NOTE ALL PLUGS ARE HEAVILY COATED IN CARBON. I CHECK THE TAILPIPE AND THE INSIDE IS ALSO HEAVILY CARBON COATED. SHORTLY AFTER I FIND INFORMATION THAT MOST DIRECT INJECT ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT HARD INFO TO FIND. BECAUSE OF DIRECT INJECTION THE VALVES DO NOT RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF DETERGENT GASOLINES AND BECOME HEAVILY COATED IN CARBON. THIS IS AN OVERSIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS OCCURRING., BUT MAKES THE POINT. I CONFIRM FINDINGS WITH AND SHOW PLUGS TO, MY MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMS ;THAT THESE DIRECT INJECT ENGINES HAVE AN ISSUE THE MANUFACTURERS CAN'T OR HAVEN'T CORRECTED, WHICH RESULTS IN THE CONDITION MY SPARK PLUGS WERE FOUND IN. I FOUND NOTSB'S ON THE SUBJECT. MECHANIC RECOMMENDS A GDI SERVICE, WHICH INCLUDES PULLING ALL VALVES AND CLEANING THEM. HE ALSO RECOMMENDS ANYONE WITH A DI ENGINE TO DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO KEEP VEHICLE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND TO GET MAXIMUM LIFE OUT OF THE PLUGS. BY THE WAY, FIRST SERVICE INTERVAL FOR PLUGS ON THIS CAR IS 100,000 MILES. THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SO FAR, BUT DO KNOW THAT IT CAN GET MUCH WORSE (AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE) FWIW THE MECHANIC BELIEVES THE MANUFACTURERS (IN THIS CASE FORD) ARE WELL AWARE OF THESE ISSUES WITH DIRECT INJECT DESIGNED ENGINES. PIC OF PLUGS INCL. BELOW.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR A CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE FIRST TIME THE PART TOTALLY FAILED AND LEFT US ON THE ROAD SIDE ON A VERY DANGEROUS STRETCH OF HWY 101 AND WAS REPLACED. 1708 MILES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE CODE WAS P0340 AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED THROUGH A DEALER ROAD TEST AND WE WERE CHARGED $190.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED, WE HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A SAFETY RECALL. WHEN WE PICKED THE CAR UP, THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT. THIS HAS CAUSED US GRAVE CONCERN. MY WIFE HAS MS AND CAN'T BE LEFT ON THE ROADSIDE. WE BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE UNSAFE, AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR REPAIRS AS THE COMPUTER SHOWS THE CODE THAT WOULD STATE THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT CAUSE THE CODE TO OCCUR A THIRD TIME, THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING WELL. AGAIN, WE BELIEVE THIS IS WRONG AND WISH TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE OF A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE. OUR SERVICE ADVISER IS [XXX] FROM MOCK FORD (SHOULD BE NOTED THIS IS NOT HER FAULT NOR I BELIEVE MOCK FORD) AND THE FORD REP IS [XXX], 866-631-3788 X77756 . WE DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME IF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REMEDIED. ONLY THAT THROUGH A TEST DRIVE IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE COMPUTER LOG SHOWS THE INCIDENTS. SHOULD WE JUST IGNORE THIS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND I ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR, THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS. IT TAKES TWO OR THREE TIME OF TRYING TO START THE CAR BEFORE IT WILL START. IT WILL RUN ROUGH FOR A WHILE BE IT STARTS RUNNING NORMAL.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 25, 2019
AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO START, PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR HELPS BUT THE ENGINE WILL STALL SUDDENLY WITHIN A FEW MILES OF THE FILL UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR STREET WITH 1/4-1/2 TANK OF FUEL. THIS STALL IS PRECEEDED BY A LOUD, DISONATE NOISE FROM THE FUEL FILLER. THERE IS WWW INFORMATION REGARDING FAILED PURGE VALVES, BUT MOST INFORMATION IS FOR EARLIER MODELS. THE FOCUS RECALL SEEMS IDENTICAL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAUTION TO STAY OFF THE ROAD AFTER FUELING TILL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. CODES CHECKED WITH ONLY ONE READING COMING UP -A YEAR AGO.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 25, 2019
MY VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FUELING AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD FUSIONS. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAP LESS GAS FILLER WILL START VIBRATING AND RELIEVING PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS IS CAUSING THE CAR TO ACT LIKE IT IS MISFIRING AND RUN ROUGH. BEFORE I HAVE TIME TO PULL OFF THE BUSY CITY STREET THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND I'M LEFT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE LOCATION. OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL THROW A 1450, 2196, OR 0131 CODE. THE MAIN CODE IS 1450 WHICH IS AN EVAP CODE. I'VE REPLACED THE CANISTER AND WILL BE REPLACING THE PURGE VALVE SOON. THESE VALVES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY CAN MALFUNCTION WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND POSE A SAFETY HAZARD.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 23, 2019
CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL AT LOW SPEEDS AND WOULD SHAKE AND SHUTTER UNTIL THE ENGINE QUIT. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER WARM UP AND THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES. CAR WOULD RESTART AFTER HARD CRANKING AFTER MOVING GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AT STOP LIGHTS, IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ON THE STREET WHILE IN TRAFFIC. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY (PART # DS7Z 9E926C) AFTER VERIFYING CODE FROM ELECTRONIC ANALYSIS.

CAR STALLS WHEN STARTING OUT
Suspension, Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 20, 2018
IF I CRANK THE CAR SOON AFTER CUTTING IT OFF, (WHILE IT'S STILL WARM) ENGINE SPUTTERS THEN QUITS, AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. SO WHEN GETTING GAS, I HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL OR ENGINE QUITS. AS SOON AS I START PUMPING, THE ENGINE STARTS CHOKING. I CAN'T TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE PUMPING GAS BECAUSE IT WON'T STAY CRANKED ONCE I TRY TO DRIVE AWAY UNLESS I REV THE RPM'S UP REALLY HIGH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. AND NOW WHITE SMOKE BILLOWS OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE WHEN IT'S CRANKED. SECOND PROBLEM....ELECTRICAL. SOME OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS, SUCH AS CRUISE AND HANDS-FREE CALLING STOP WORKING OVER TIME. THIRD PROBLEM.... FRONT CV JOINTS WEAR OUT WAY TOO SOON. I HEARD OF A RECALL ON THE NEWS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE MY ENGINE ISSUE, BUT NOW I CAN'T LOCATE THE RECALL ANYWHERE. THEY EVEN TOOK IT OFF OF THE NEWS CHANNEL'S WEBSITE. DURING THE BROADCAST, THEY SAID THE RECALL WOULD BEGIN DECEMBER 10TH. WHAT HAPPENED??? DID FORD CHANGE ITS MIND? SURE WOULD HELP ME OUT! I'M ENTERING THE OCCURRENCE DATE 1/1/17, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WELL OVER ONE YEAR, MAYBE 2.

TAKATA RECALL I CURRENTLY OWN A 2015 FORD FUSION SE 2.0L TURBO AS THE MILEAGE HAS INCREASED I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE PURGE VALE, AS I HAVE HAVING TROUBLING STARTING MY CAR AFTER I PUT GAS IN IT ALONG WITH STALLING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I CAME UPON ARTICLES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME MODEL CAR WITH THE SAME PURGE VALVE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR THAT HAS DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARDS
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 10, 2018
FILLED UP CAR W/ GAS, CAR SPUTTERED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. CAR SHUT OFF BUT POWER STAYED ON. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN, & IT SPUTTERED AGAIN. I THEN PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR TO GIVE GAS, AND CAR SPUTTERED AS I LET OFF, THEN DIED, BUT STILL HAD POWER. STARTED CAR FOR 3RD TIME, AND IT CONTINUED TO SPUTTER, I PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR, AND PUT IN DRIVE, AND AS I DROVE ABOUT 20 METERS, THE CAR SEEMED TO STILL SPUTTER. ONCE I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, AND GET UP TO 30 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR RAN FINE. CAR STARTED FINE THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT THEN IN THE EVENING IT DID IT AGAIN. I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON DUE TO BEING ON A MAIN ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACELLERATE AND STARTED SPUTTERING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO HAS CAME ON DURING THIS PROCESS. I HAVE TAKEN INTO AUTO SHOP AND IT READS THAT FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDS REPLACED: CODE P0087 FUEL RAIL/SYSTEM PRESSURE - TOO LOW P2196 02 SENSOR SIGNAL STUCK RICH BANK 1 SENSOR 1 P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM. WITH THE VEHICLE BEING WELL MAINTAINED AND BEING LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION DUE TO BEING VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHEN THE SPUTTERING OF THE CAR WILL HAPPEN.

AWHILE BACK THE CAR STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES, THAT CAME FROM THE FUEL INLET BEHIND THE GAS DOOR, SOUNDING LIKE PRESSURE ESCAPING. PRESSING THE DOOR IN (CAPLESS FUEL TANK) CONFIRMS THIS, AS THE VACUUM IS RELEASED. CAR IDLES ROUGH, AND IN SOME CASES, AFTER REFUELING, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO QUITE A FEW FUSION OWNERS, WITH VIDEOS AND FORUMS POSTS TO VERIFY. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW OF THE ISSUE, BUT JUST TODAY ISSUED A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM FOR THE FOCUS MODEL CARS. IT IS THE 2.0L TURBO OR NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES, AND I HAVE THE 2.0L TURBO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTS OF CARS STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY, WITH A P1450 CODE.

MY VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND THIS NOISE COMES FROM THE GAS TANK. IT IS LIKE A HONK SOUND. TO STOP THE SOUND, I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, OPEN THE GAS TANK AND LET THE AIR/PRESSURE INSIDE THE GAS THANK OUT. THE SMELL IS SOME KIND OF BURNT ENGINE OR WIRE. AFTER I HAVE LET THE AIR/PRESSURE OUT, ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON FOR FEW HOURS AND GOES OFF. THERE ARE LOTS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE. INFORMED THIS ISSUE TO FORD AND THEY ASKED ME TO GET DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE VEHICLE AND CALL THEM BACK. I DID GET THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE VEHICLE, TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND HE EXPLAINED ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRESSURE WHICH I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND. SO I CALLED FORD BACK AND INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND ASKED THEM TO HELP ME WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY RECALL PROGRAM OR ANY REBATE PROGRAM ACTIVE BASED ON THE GIVEN MILEAGE. I BEGGED FORD TO PLEASE CHECK ONLINE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE SUPERVISOR SAID SHE CANNOT DO ANYTHING. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA TO PLEASE DO AN ENQUIRY ON THIS ISSUE AND HELP THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE MISFIRES DECREASE IN POWER AND COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATION. IT ALSO USES A GREAT DEAL OF FUEL. THE COOLANT CONSTANTLY LEAKS OUT AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE CAR ALSO OVERHEATS WHEN SITTING IN A PARKED POSITION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SLOWED TO 25MPH. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LOT OF GAS AS I'M STARTING IT FOR IT TO START. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK IT WOULD NOT IDLE SMOOTHLY IF I WAS AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE AROUND 1/4 TANK OF GAS. AGAIN, I'VE STARTED PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS WHILE I'M STOPPED TO KEEP THE IDLE SMOOTH. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE PURGE VALVE ASSEMBLY TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS DEVICE IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT WHEN IT COMES IN, WHENEVER THAT IS. HOWEVER I'M LEFT DRIVING THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 35MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS NOT LOW ON GAS. I HAD JUST UNDER 1/2 TANK. LUCKILY THERE WAS MINIMAL TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT ONLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND GIVING IT A LOT OF GAS AS SOON AS I HIT START. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN. I'M CONCERNED I'LL PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. OR I'LL BE ON THE HIGHWAY JUST DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL DIE. IF EITHER OF THOSE OCCUR, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME OR MY KIDS.
