Consumer Description

TAMARA RECALL MY FORD FUSION MAKE A 'FRAT' NOISE/SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE NOISE STARTS THE ENGINE WILL NARELY IDLE AND SOMETIMES DIES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST SITTING IDLING. ONE TIME I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN THIS NOISE STARTED AND THE CAR DIED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING RIGHT AT ME. OTHER TIMES IT'S JUST AN ANNOYANCE AN THE ENGINE RUNS FINE. WHEN I GOOGLED IT I'VE NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OTHER FORD FUSIONS WITH THE TURBO ENGINE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON AGAIN FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW. I HAVE A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ANOTHER FORD FUSION WITH THE TURBO ENGINE DOING THE SAME THING MINE DOES. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE! HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/AG4SSMGFSGG
