NHTSA Complaint #10780912 — 2011 FORD FUSION

DRIVING ON FWY CAR DISPLAY A WRENCH AND YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE ALL YOU CAN DO IS COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD OR HOLD UP TRAFFIC.THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES IN ONE MONTH MY NEXT PROBLEM IS THE DASH DISPLAY CHECK FUEL FILL INLET AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR SO THEY TOLD ME WHAT SHOP TO TAKE IT TO BECAUSE WE HAD A 30 DAY WARRANTY SO I DID THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CARS THAT DON'T HAVE GAS CAPS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN,TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP AND HE GAVE ADVISE ON HOW TO FILL YOUR GAS TANK . IT HAPPENED AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP THIS TIME HE SAID THAT HE REPLACED THE WHOLE FUEL INLET THING. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME HE TOLD ME TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL I DID AND IT WENT OFF BUT IT KEPT ON COMING BACK ON WHEN I GET BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTING IT. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF DOING THAT I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND I SAID IT SAYS CHECK FUEL FILL INLET I SHOULD'NT HAVE TO PAY SO HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHARGE THE DEALER HE CLEANED THE PART WHERE THE GAS GOES IN HE SAID AND EVERY THING IS ALRIGHT.WELL AFTER ABOUT A WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOO AND WHEN YOU RESET THE CHECK FUEL FILL COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP AND THIS TIME I HAD TO PAY AND I DON'T SEE WHY BECAUSE ITS THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND IT IS NOT FIXED I PAID 50.00$ AND IT STILL HAS CHECK FUEL FILL INLET AND ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. THE CAR IS AT THE FORD DEALER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAD 3 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE BUT NOTHING ABOUT THE FUEL FILL INLET,FORD SAID THAT THEY CAN CHECK OUT WHY THE FUEL INLET IS ON BUT I HAVE TO PAY 120.00$ I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED FREE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NEVER REALLY FIXED.
