WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER NEXT DAY. THEY ARE STILL CHECKING THE CAR BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE FOUND THE COOLANT IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND WE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT IS NOT GETTING A RECALL FOR, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN A ONGOING ISSUE. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 90,000 MILES TWO MONTHS AGO.

THEN IT NOTIFIED ME AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE DOOR OPENED. SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE IT, BUT THE DOOR DID NOT CLOSE. I ATTEMPTED TO TRY SEVERAL WAYS BUT DID NOT WORK. I AM THANK FULL I DIDN'T HAVE MY DOGS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. ITS A HUGE SAFETY FLAW. THE CAR WONT LET ME LOCK IT SINCE THE DOOR WONT CLOSE, AND THE CAR IS PARKED ON THE STREET. I DON'T HAVE A PRIVATE GARAGE. HIGHLY UPSET AT THE FLAW. HOPEFULLY IT WONT COST A FORTUNE SINCE FORD WILL PROBABLY SAY IT'S NOT COVERED. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS DEPARTING ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD STOP SHIFTING OUT OF SECOND GEAR. I WOULD MANUALLY SHIFT IT TO NEUTRAL THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL THROUGH THE FIRST GEAR THEN SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR AND STAY IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL I STOP AND REPEAT THE PROCESS, FIRST GEAR THEN SECOND GEAR THEN STUCK AND REPEAT. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR'S DRIVETRAIN SYSTEM. MULTIPLE CERTIFIED MECHANICS HAVE INFORMED ME TO CONTACT FORD FOR RECALLS ON THIS CAR'S POWERTRAIN SYSTEM HOWEVER FORD SAYS THEY HAVE NO RECALLS ON THIS MODEL. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AT RANDOM TIME.

THERE HAS BEEN AN INCOMPLETE SAFETY RECALL CONCERN FOR MY 2016 FOR FUSION SINCE MAY . I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY OF AN ISSUE IN WHICH TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTERS COULD POSSIBLY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE GEARS NOT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. TODAY I HOPPED INTO MY CAR AND MY CAR IS COMPLETELY STUCK IN PARK AND WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. I CAN MOVE THE KNOB BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO BE HANDLED FOR ME WITH NO OUT OF POCKET COSTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS ALREADY A KNOW ISSUE THE FORD HAS FAILED TO RECTIFY.

I DRIVE A 2016 FORD FUSION SE AWD WITH THE 2.0L ECOBOOST/GTDI MOTOR. I WAS AT A GAS STATION REFUELING MY VEHICLE, WITH THE 87 OCTANE FUEL THE OEM CALLS FOR ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 1/4 TANK BEFORE REFUELING AND I FILLED MY TANK UNTIL FULL. UPON STARTING MY CAR, I ALWAYS TURN THE KEY RIGHT BEFORE IGNITION AND WAIT FOR THE FUEL PUMPS TO DRAW GAS TO THE MOTOR, THEN START IT. STARTED SEEMINGLY FINE, HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS RESETTING MY MILEAGE TRIP COUNTERS, I NOTICED, AND FELT MY RPM'S DROP DOWN INTO THE 300-400 AREA AND MY MOTOR SHOOK MY CAR. I KIND OF WAS SURPRISED AS MY CAR HAD NEVER DONE THIS, SO I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS JUST AN ENGINE STUTTER. BUT THEN UPON WAITING A FEW MORE SECONDS, IT DID IT AGAIN, 4 MORE TIMES AND FELT LIKE MY MOTOR WAS READY TO STALL OUT. I WAS STILL PARKED/STATIONARY BESIDE A GAS PUMP SO I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO GO PARK MYSELF IN AN ACTUAL SPOT SO I WASN'T IN THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. I KEPT MY CAR RUNNING IN PARK TO SEE IF THE RPM'S WOULD DROP AGAIN, BUT UPON WAITING FIVE MINUTES, IT DID NOT. THE RPM'S WERE A BIT WOBBLY THOUGH ON THE TACHOMETER BUT DID NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DROP. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. I WASN'T TAKING ANY CHANCES, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. TURNS OUT, MY CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. SOUNDS ALL TOO FAMILIAR, ACCOUNTING THAT FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH MANY FORD FOCUS MODELS, WITH THE EXACT SAME MOTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN CRASH/INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. NO LIGHT CAME ON FOR ME AND I ONLY CAUGHT IT BECAUSE I WAS SUPERSTITIOUS ENOUGH TO BRING IT IN REGARDLESS. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, IT IS LITERALLY THE SAME ISSUE AND I'M BAFFLED AS TO HOW HIS HASN'T BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL BY NOW. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS FACED THIS ISSUE, SO PLEASE, I ASK FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND DEEMED A RECALL AS IT'S A BIG ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE FORD FUSION JERKS HARD AND SPUTTERS WHEN IT CHANGES GEARS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL JERK HARD UPON PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. DURING DECELERATION, WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY, FROM SPEEDS OF 70 MPH TO 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO SPUTTER AND JERK FROM THE GEARS CHANGING.
