Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 16, 2018
WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET MY FORD FUSION LOST ENGINE POWER. THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO LESS THAN 500RPM, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND THE HAVE DEALER SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT CAME ON. PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON RPMS. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT WAS STILL IDLING UNDER 500RPM AND THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE SPEED. AFTER THE 3RD RESTART, I COULD GET ENOUGH ENGINE SPEED TO RETURN TO MY HOTEL BUT IT RAN VERY ROUGH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CARMAX DEALER IN HENDERSON, NV. I PURCHASED IT FROM A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ROSEVILLE, CA. THEY SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER IN HENDERSON. THE DEALER REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY - ATTACHING THE REPAIR INVOICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ONLINE AND THAT FORD SOMEHOW STOPPED NORTH CAROLINA FROM FORCING THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE HECK OF AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR RAPIDLY SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.

THIS VEHICLE IS AT 48800 MILES AND I STARTED TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS/ERRORS ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN: "HILL HOLD ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", "SERVICE ADVANCETRACK", ABS FAULT AND AIRBAG FAILURE SIGN LIGHTS REMAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER THESE WARNINGS I LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. HOWEVER THE WARNING SIGNS DID NOT CLEAR AND I LOST ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND AIRBAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED WITH A FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ERROR CODES THEY GOT FROM THE CAR WERE C0031 AND U0401. THE FIRST ONE IS RELATED TO A SHORT WIRE IN THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND THIS PART WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACEMENT ALL THE MENTIONED WARNINGS/ERRORS REMAIN AND U0401 CODE REMAINED. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE ARE JUST FROM COMMUNICATION ERROR FROM THE COMPUTER OR THESE PARTS ARE ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR RIGHT NOW. IN ANY CASE, ALL OF THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS ARE NOT RELATED WITH DRIVERS DRIVING HABITS, STORAGE CONDITIONS AND OTHER THINGS RELATED TO THE USAGE OF THE CAR AND SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, EVEN IF IT IS A COMMUNICATION ERROR OR WIRING PROBLEM. AND THE AFFECTED COMPONENTS ARE VITAL SO IF THERE IS A PRODUCTION ERROR, THIS SHOULD BE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 10, 2018, crash
I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY UP A SMALL SLIGHT HILL, MADE A RIGHT TURN, THEN ANOTHER QUICK RIGHT TURN TO DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT LOCATED IN A CONDO PARKING LOT AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO PUT IT ON THE BRAKE. I WAS PROBABLY GOING 2 TO 3 MPH. A PERSON COULD HAVE OUTWALKED THE CAR. SUDDENLY THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN AND LURCHED FORWARD. I PRESSED DOWN HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT IT DIDN'T STOP. IN ADDITION TO GOING FORWARD, THE CAR ALSO WENT ON A SLIGHT ANGLE TO THE RIGHT. AT SOME POINT I MUST HAVE PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO BACK UP AFTER HITTING A FIRE HYDRANT, THE CAR WAS IN PARK. THE FIRE HYDRANT WAS LOCATED IN A PLANT AREA LOWER THAN THE PARKING SPOT SURROUNDED BY A CURB. I AM UNSURE IF I ACCIDENTALLY PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE GAS, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IS VERY UNLIKELY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THE MOTION FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE IS A HABIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND THERE ARE REPORTS FROM OTHERS THAT FORD FUSIONS HAVE LUNGED FORWARD WHEN TAKING THEIR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PUTTING ON THE BRAKE. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CAR AND THE ONLY ONE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT AND I WAS NOT INJURED. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES.

I FIRST NOTICED IT DRIVING INTO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT LEFT TO RIGHT RATHER QUICKLY. I DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE MOMENT THE STEERING WHEEL GOT LOOSE. THEN AS I WAS STARTING TO LEAVE WORK THAT AFTERNOON, THE STEERING WHEEL JUST SAGGED DOWN AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I HAVE DOCUMENTS OF THE INVOICE FROM FORD.
