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.

In October 2017 my Fusion stalled out four times (three various days and one day 15 minutes between stalls) and again on November 4th. Each time I was driving less than 10 mph; four times on a city street and once in a parking lot. In each case I had been driving for an hour or more and then stopped and turned off the car for a period of time (1/2 hour or so). When I got into the car to drive away the car would start normally and then within a few minutes after the car was put into drive and moving it would start to sputter and shake and then stall out. In each case no engine check light came on. I would wait a few seconds, press the start button, the engine would crank a few times, and then it would start. Each time this occurred I ran a vehicle health report and nothing was noted. The car was taken to a Ford dealer where they could not replicate the issue. In doing research, I believe there is an issue with the fuel injection throttle body.

While driving, my vehicle overheated. Checked coolant level, and it was less than half full. I refilled coolant to recommended level, and proceeded to drive. Two weeks later, it overheated again, and my coolant was low again. Refilled and monitored for leaks. No leaks. Then vehicle began misfiring. Diagnosed with cylinder 3 misfire. Replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Still misfiring. Rediagnosed with cylinder 3 misfire. Then it just died. Would not start. Acted as though it was flooding. Diagnosed with no additional issues by dealership. Then discovered tsb for a bolt that was backing out of the intercooler and into the manifold. This issue was allowing coolant to flood the manifold and cause misfiring. Got that fixed as well as the catalytic converter and turbo unit for the car which were damaged as a result of the coolant issue. $5,000 in repairs for a manufacturing defect that could have left my family and I stranded in the desert heat without A/C or in the sub-zero snowy mountains without heat since the vehicle would not even start. As a family, we travel extensively. This is definitely a safety issue!!!!!

The 2015 Fusion had a surge and the car jerked forward. My wife said that happened to her before. When it happened when I was in the car driving it we both looked at each other. This happened to us with the 2010 rav4 and the 2009 sienne that crashed into a tree. Please check this car for a computer problem.

After the car has been off for some time. Put the car in reverse. After reversing out of spot, etc. And put the car into "L"; upon moving forward, the engine starts racing and lurches uncontrollably forward. Almost like the car is engine braking down a large hill, but no hill and is accelerating without applying brakes. This is the plug-in hybrid model. There is no incline when this happens.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 5 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle began to vibrate. The contact stated that an abnormal noise was coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the baffles failed and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. However, the vehicle was not repaired because the manufacturer advised the dealer that the noise and vibration was normal. The failure for the vehicle not being able to start was unable to be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.

The vehicle is a hybrid plus. It has a charge port. The vehicle will not accept a charge and check engine light is on. The entire wiring harness from front to back has to be replaced. This job requires complete removal of the entire interior. Also Ford has not been in contact with the dealer or myself in 5 days regarding this issue. This is the 3rd time it had been in the shop - first for a faulty dash and second for a bad ac compressor. - vehicle has 1600 miles on it.

I purchased my vehicle in Feb. 2015 and once I took the vehicle home a loud rattling noise began to sound of slowly. Took my vehicle to Ford dealer, I was told that the vehicle need a new exhaust system and muffler. The sales person that it came from factory that way. I took a second time because it made a loud emission noise and every time that the car was on. Now the vehicle as me worried because if it is a brand new vehicle and since day one it has been making loud noises. Will keep this updated in case if I have to take a third time. I will be letting the dealership know about the lemon law in California also.
