NHTSA Complaint #10536880 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I PURCHASED MY 2010 FORD FUSION IN APRIL OF 2012 AND HAVE HAD MANY INCIDENTS OF THE "CHECK FUEL INLET" MESSAGE AFTER FILLING UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. I HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THAT THE GAS FLAP DIDN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I REMOVED THE FUEL NOZZLE. THIS AGAIN OCCURRED ON AUG. 17, 2013 BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN ON AUG. 22 I HAD 3 INCIDENTS WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL THE NEXT 4 MILES WITH SOME SPUTTERING AND RACING OF THE ENGINE. THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER. THE THIRD INCIDENT I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR
