My engine light came on. Code is PP0456 - evap leak. Dealer found that gromet/seal on tank is failing. This part is not serviceable, so the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. After dealer discount, the cost was $2242.24. Dealer is Larry H. Miller Ford, Mesa, AZ, phone (480) 530-9600. I have owned many Ford vehicles since 1978 and never experienced such an expense. In my opinion, this is a design issue since the rubber seal is not serviceable. This experience is causing me to lose faith in the Ford brand. Is FMC willing to assist with this expense? Please note - this vehicle has only been serviced at the dealership.

Mu 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium hesitates to start back up after fueling and needs to be repeated multiple times, pumping the gas pedal for a few tries before it eventually stabilizes, accompanied by a very intense odor of exhaust. Final Verdict: Emissions Purge Valve Assembly failure

Vehicle's gas peddle becomes unresponsive/locks while in operation. Twice this has occurred at top speeds of 65 on major highways and thankfully, in situations where I could pull onto a median. That said, this is a very dangerous situation regardless and should substantiate an investigation as it's apparent I'm not the only one who's experienced this. In addition to this, the vehicle refuses to turn over when filled with gasoline.

As I was driving on the highway at 65mph my car stopped accelerating as I was driving. I had to cut my car off as to 'restart' it would allow me to drive a short distance. Thank goodness I was not far from home. This has never happened and I had no warning or indication that something was wrong. I just got an oil change 2 weeks ago and I keep up on maintenance on my vehicle. I went to the internet and researched the issue and I came across a bunch. This is an issue that should be recalled because this can cause a health and safety hazard while driving.

I've had my car for 5 years. 6 months after I purchased it it started showing transmission issues. It's almost like it gets stuck in a gear when trying to accelerate, and then it flings your forward. When driving up a hill it won't go over 30mph. I took it in over 2 years ago to Ford and was told a transmission recall for 2014 Ford Fusion was coming. 2 years later and I'm being told my car doesn't qualify but is showing all the signs that's listed on the recall. Just last week my car shut off while driving on the freeway with my kids in the car. Since it's happened 3 times. Since it started shutting off while driving a new issue has progressed. My car now jerks when trying to accelerate. If I have the heater in it smells like something is burning. We used a code reader and it told us transmission issues but Ford still says I don't qualify.

When fueling the tank vehicle will not stay running. Engine starts and then dies. This goes on up to five minutes then engine stays running with no check engine light on. Check codes there is P1450 stored. Other times it happens after driving and turning engine off and then re starting a few minutes later, sometimes the engine stutters and dies after driving which can be in a parking lot or make to the highway stop at a stop lights which gets really scary when other traffic is around. I look up my VIN for recalls it shows none. It starting happening a while back just once in a while accurrence, now everytime I fill up.

The car will pulsate and shake when driving, then the check engine light would come on. You can't accelerate, like there no accelerating in then the car cut off, which is danger. I have had this car for less then a year, I just payed close to 1,000 bucks getting it fix from having electrical problems that my warranty did not cover. I had to take to the shop for things that was or recalled., in now this. I think I was sell a lemon.

Upon applying the gas and accelerating from a stop or idle position and sometimes at speed, my 2014 Fusion will sputter with jerking motion while losing rpms and power before stalling altogether. It has happened more frequently and today it occurred multiple times, in several instances when entering traffic from a side road. This creates a significant potential for an accident to occur as the car suddenly stalls while cars are approaching and most likely not anticipating my vehicle to come to a stop. My only recourse is to shift the car to park and attempt to restart, which thus far has worked; though, the car is a bit difficult to start afterward. There's a hesitation to start afterward, as if there's no fuel, but not like an electrical or starter issue.

1. when pumping gasoline, the lever clicks off every 1-2 seconds, taking long time to fill gas tank, and never knowing if over-filling. I must repeatedly turn the ignition on/off/on in order to see the gas gauge. 2. the body dents easily.

Takata recall: The car is stalling while I am in drive, with speeds up to 70 mph. It also will not start after I have put gas in the tank. I have to step on the gas to gwt it to start. The car is also shaking back and forth while in park just trying to stay started. Then it will die. Everytime I come to a stoplight or a stop sign I go through this and have great difficulty starting it back up continuously.

The purge valve went out on my car after never having any performance or emissions related issues. Upon researching, it seems to be rather common in Ford Fusion. Is there a recall review warranted at this time? I was driving to work and started hearing a loud humming, vibrating sound coming from my gas tank / gas cap area. It continued to hum every 15 seconds or so over the next 20 minutes until I arrived at work. There were no other issues and my car seemed to run just fine. This is, however, an emissions concern and seems to be common in Ford Fusion forums. Please investigate for a recall alert.

Vehicle will go into safe mode while driving and will force you to pull over and shut down vehicle regardless of location, traffic, or driving condition. When you shut off car, you wait a few minutes, restart car and then car drives normal again, until it happens again.
