The gas tank has developed a crack towards the top of the tank. This appears to be from the exact same issue that Ford recalled because the "purge valve" can cause the pressure to change inside the gas tank. As the pressure increases and decreases, a crack can develop in the top of the tank, allowing fuel to leak. My VIN was not included in the recall for some reason. Even though it is the exact same model and I believe was even built at the same plant in Mexico where the other impacted vehicles were made.

CHECK FUEL FILL INLET THE LIGHT STAY ON

PURGE VALVE FAILURE, FORD CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE THE PART WHEN REQUESTED. (CHINO HILLS FORD) SAFTEY WAS PUT A RISK BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF A 2011 FORD FUSION THIS FAILURE COULD CAUSE PRESSURE CHANGES AND MAY CAUSE THE TANK TO CRACK AND LEAK FUEL. A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCES INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE. YES THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY A FORD DEALER IN CHINO HILLS YES IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY FORD AND RESULTED IN A FAILED EVAP PURGE VALVE TEST AND CALLED FOR REPLACEMENT YES THE PROBLEM CAUSED A P0456 CODES WHICH INDICATED A SMALL LEAK IN THE EVAP SYSTEM.

Car was purchased used at approximately 100,000 miles. While filling tank at pump, automatic shutoff on pump triggered repeatedly. It seemed vapor was backing up into the fill tube, so filling tank consisted of pressing pump then releasing once per gallon to allow vapors to disperse and repeat. Several mechanics reported working on similar cases and suggested inspecting the CPV canister. At approximately 110,000 miles, car developed a gas tank rupture. Mechanic inspected and determined that tank had burst at seam. In researching the CPV canister, discovered recall 15S34. Vin search states that this recall does not apply to this vehicle, but symptoms are identical to technical description.

AIRBAG: TOOK CAR IN FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL, GOT THE CAR BACK AND NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME. IT WAS FINE TILL THE RECALL ISSUE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. FUEL SYSTEM: EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK (I NEVER TOP OFF), MY CAR STALLS OUR OR BUCKS. AFTER 40 OR SO MILES IT WONT DO IT ANYMORE UNTIL I FILL UP AGAIN. I'VE EVEN HAD IT STALL GOING 40 MPH.

FUEL TANK IS CRACKED AND ACTIVELY LEAKING FUEL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, CLEARLY IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSY. T\INTERNAL FAULT CODE P2112 CAUSED THE POWER ON CAR TO GO TO LIMP MODE. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ITEM HAS BEEN FLAGGED IN FEBRUARY 21, 2013 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 FORD HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED 17 AUG 2020. THE VEHICLE WAS AT 152,000 MILES AND HAD BEEN SERVICED REGULAR BY FORD SINCE PURCHASE IN 2011. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED. I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MADE A RIGHT TURN ON TO EXPRESSWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WITH NO ACCELERATION THIS BECAME A DANGEROUS SITUATION VERY QUICKLY. I EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE TO 45MPH BUT COULD BARLEY CREEP TO 20 MPH MAX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RC LACY INC. (25 MAPLE AVENUE CATSKILL, NY 12414, (888)733-2720, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V793000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AS A SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

FOR THE LAST YEAR EXPERIENCING PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING DRIVABILITY ISSUES. THE MOST CONCERNING IS STEADILY INCREASING THROTTLE LAG (TIME BETWEEN APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE RESPONDING), WHICH I VIEW AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE, WHICH MAY INCREASE RISK OF ACCIDENT B/C VEHICLE MAY NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED EITHER PLACING ME AT RISK BECAUSE IT LEAVES ME IN THE PATH OF ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PREVENTS MY VEHICLE FROM EXPEDITIOUSLY RESPONDING TO AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE.. SECONDARILY VEHICLE NOW OPERATING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN GAS POWER MODE (WORSENING MPG EFFICIENCY) BUT ALSO CAUSING JERKING/HESITATION WHEN TRANSITIONING BETWEEN GAS/EV MODES. THIS POWERTRAIN WAS NOT DESIGNED TO WORK IN GAS ONLY BUT AS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN GAS/EV, THEREFORE IN GAS ALONE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM. TO DEALER SERVICE X 3 - 1ST 2 DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG....

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON. LIGHTS ON DASH SHOWING YELLOW CAR SWERVING. SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE SENSE OF IT AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN WITHOUT GREAT EFFORT. 1 WEEK BEFORE THIS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND LOCAL GARAGE TOLD ME THE CODE SAID PROBLEM WITH FUEL CAP(WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE). NOW I HAVE LOOKED AT RECALLS AND FORD SAYS MY CAR WAS BUILT IN AUGUST,2010, BUT VIN COVERED ON THIS RECALL STARTS IN SEPTEMBER, 2010.SO NOW CAR IS DISABLED AND HAVE TO PAY TOW CHARGES TO GET IT HOME, THEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT LACKS BEING COVERED BY A FEW DAYS, THEN ALMOST $2000 IN REPAIRS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED.

THERE WHERE RECALLS AWHILE BACK. AND ONE IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM WHEN I DID THE RECALL FOR IT A YEAR LATER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE TOOK IT TO FORD AN THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER 500 FOR IT WHEN IT WAS A RECALL THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON IT SAYS CHECK FULE INLET. IT HAS DISAPPEARED NOW AN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING. MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING IT SAID THAT POWER STEERING LOCKED. AND THEY SAID THAT I CANT DO THE RECALL. I HAVE A 2011 FORD FUSION SE. AND THE ONLY RECALL THEY SAID WAS THERE WAS FOR THE AIR BAGS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY I CANT GET THESE THINGS FIXED. I ONLY HAVE ONE CAR ON A FIXED INCOME I OWN THE CAR. AN NOW I NEED ANSWERS

THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS SHOWING SIGNS OF FAILING.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A PINHOLE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THERE WAS A RECALL CONNECTION WITH A PART CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO CRACK. HOWEVER, I WAS MADE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND FORD WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME.

WHILE DRIVING, AT POSTED SPEED, 40MPH ....ALL AT ONCE, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION, A VERY ROUGH IDLE TO THE ENGINE AND A WRENCH ICON SHOWED ON THE DASH. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESET AND THE WRENCH ICON DISAPPEARED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEIR COMPUTER TOOLS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG (CODES WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK). CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 500 MILES AND THEN, WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSIER ROAD AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID THE EXACT SAME THING, AGAIN CAUSING ME TO NEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I, ONCE AGAIN, WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SYSTEM BY TURNING THE...

TAKATA RECALL

I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT ANY RECALLS. MY MOTHER CONTACTED ME THROUGH EMAIL TO SEE IF I KNEW ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. 2 RECALLS I ONLY LEARNED ABOUT TODAY BY CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT BECAUSE THE AGENCY THAT HOLDS THE TITLE REPORTED MY ACCOUNT FOR NON-PAYMENT. I RECIEVED A CARFAX REPORT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AUGUST 2017 FROM DRIVETIME. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. NOW, I AM SEEING 4 RECALLS, 2 OF WHICH (2014 & 2016) HAVE APPEARED ONLY NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED. I WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY IDIOT IN AMERICA THAT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HIGH-MILEAGE, OVER-PRICED VEHICLE IN THE 1ST PLACE. I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE FOR A RENTAL CAR AGENCY. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SAFE VEHICLE. BUT MY FEELING NOW, IS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

ERROR CODE(S) P1450, P0456, FORD FUSION SE 2011, 3.0L V6 (4 VALVE). MY CAR WAS GETTING THE ERROR CODE P1450 (UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUME) THAT WOULD TURN ON THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED FOR A SHORT TIME.. THIS WENT ON FOR A SHORT TIME, I FOUND THAT BY USING THE GAS FUNNEL SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR THE VACUME COULD BE RELIEVED AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES IT STOPED COMING UP. NOW ,1 YEAR AND A FEW DAYS TO THE DATE, IT'S BACK AND I'M GETTING THE ERROR CODE P0456 (EVAP EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM LEAK VERY SMALL) WITH IT.IT MEANS, IN MY CASE, THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CANISTER PERGE VALVE (CPV) HAS A SMALL LEAK THAT IS CAUSING A VACUME TO DEVELOP IN THE FUEL TANK. IF THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH...

I BEEN SEEING THAT THE GAS IN THE CAR RUNS OUT SO SOON AND I ALWAYS WONDER WHY , UNTIL ONE DAY I WAS FUELING THE CAR AND I WAS STANDING NEXT TO IT AND I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SPLASHES MY FEET , SO I CHECKED UNDER MY CAR AND THERE IS THE PROBLEM THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING, CALL THE DEALER TO FIX IT AND THEY SAID THAT I HAS TO PAY FOR IT , L DON'T THINK IS FAIR TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURED ISSUED , I DID PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR A SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD ,SAFE AND RELIABLE CAR THAT NOW HAS TO MANY ISSUES AND RECALLS AND THEY DON'T (FORD),TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP.

THE CARS P2119 AND P2112 TROUBLE LIGHTS AND THE WRENCH LIGHT KEEP APPEARING. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR LOCATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY ONLY OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR 4 MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE WAS ELIGIBLE AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IF MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND POSSIBLY PUT HER LIFE IN DANGER

MY POWER STEERING ADVANCETRAC WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON HIGHWAY, IN RESULT I BROKE MY FRONT BUMPER AND ALMOST ENDED UP IN A ACCIDENT DUE TO A LOCKED STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED IN TO FORD FOR POWER STEERING RECALL AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. I NEVER HAD A THING LIKE THIS BEFORE HAPPEN. I ALSO HAVE FUEL INLET ON FUEL TANK AND I TOOK IN FOR RECALL AND ALL THE FORD DEALER DID WAS SET MY CAR OUT IN THEIR PARKING LOT AND DID NOTHING TO FIX IT., EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS JUST GETTING INTO MY CAR WHEN I WAS AT HOME ABOUT TO LEAVE TO WORK WHEN THE MESSAGE CAME ACROSS THE DASHBOARD.

TAKATA RECALL I NEED AN AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO RECALL. I ALSO NEED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED DUE TO RECALL

ALL OF THIS IS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON BOTH ON FREEWAYS AND CITY STREETS.

I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR REPEATED CODE FAILURES RELATED TO THE FILL INLET. CANISTER HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE. FIRESTONE NOTICED SEVERAL FORD FUSIONS WITH THESE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING DISTRACTION FROM ENGINE LIGHT (STOPPED ON FREEWAY BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR), AND CHECK FUEL INLET ERRORS WERE WORRISOME. I HAD TO CLEAN THE FILLER INLET WHICH DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUES. I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE EXACT DATES OF WHEN I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE.

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED A ODOR FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE IT GOT WORSE, ONCE I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT AND LET THE WINDOWS DOWN THE ODER GOT STRONGER. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WAS MY CAR.

CHECK FUEL FILL INLET: THE CHECK FUEL FILL INLET WARNING HAS INTERMITTENTLY COME ON IN MY 2011 FORD FUSION SEL FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLETED THE RECOMMENDED STEPS TO REMEDY THE ERROR BY CLEANING THE AREA AND BLOWING OUT ANY POSSIBLE DEBRIS FROM THE INLET. WHILE DRIVING TODAY, THE ERROR MESSAGE CAME BACK ON. A FEW MOMENTS LATER WHEN I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY REVVED UP APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPM AND STAYED UNTIL I PULLED OFF OF THE ROADWAY. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE ERROR MESSAGE IS STILL PRESENT, BUT I HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED THE HIGH REVVING AGAIN AT THIS TIME.

I MANAGED TO GET TO AN AUTO ADVANCE STORE WHERE I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE SINCE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH CODE PO455 TWICE AND PO457 TWICE. IT WAS THEN EXPLAINED THAT TOO MUCH AIR WAS GETTING INTO MY FUEL SYSTEM. I PROCEEDED TO GO TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS A HALF MILE AWAY.

CODE P0457 AND P1450 KEEP COMING UP. THE DESCRIPTION IS A FAULT WITH THE FUEL FILLER NEAR THE GAS TANK. A RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAS TANK FILLER WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. IS THIS PART OF THIS RECALL?

I PURCHASED A 2011 FORD FUSION ON 12/14/16. IT HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS IN IT WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY. I FILLED THE TANK ON 12/15/16. AFTER DRIVING IT, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL FOR ABOUT THE TOP 1/8 OF THE TANK. DUE TO A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE WE HAVE HAD, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TELL IF THERE IS ACTUALLY ANY FUEL LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND BUT THE ODOR IS THERE ONCE THE CAR IS PARKED AFTER DRIVING. THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL OF ALMOST A HALF MILLION 2010/2011 FORD FUSIONS AND MERCURY MILANS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE DATES OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIR AT THIS TIME. THEY INFORMED ME THAT...

TWO CODES KEEP COMING UP. P0457 AND P1450. THESE ARE FOR THE EMISSIONS EVAPORATION SYSTEM. THE DEALER HAS COMPLETED RECALL REPAIR AND CLAIMS IT IS OK.

6 MONTHS OLD CAR HAD TRANSMITION AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, DRIVER DOOR LOCK NOT OPENING, AC WENT OUT! AIR BAGS SENSOR OUT, AND NOW EXPERIENCING 2ND TRANSMITION ISSUE. DEALERSHIP IS NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, AS TRANSMITION WAS REPLACED AT ANOTHER GARAGE! HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS CAR SINCE 2012. HARD JERKING.

NOV. 13, 2016 I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS. WHEN I GOT HOME THE TANK WAS LEAKING PROFUSELY. THE NEXT MORNING I DROPPED IT OFF TO A CHAIN AUTO SHOP. THEY WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL ASSEMBLY AND ALSO REPORTED THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL THAT I SHOULD TAKE TO FORD DEALER. I RESEARCHED THE RECALL 15S34 THAT WAS ISSUED FEB 4, 2016 BUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD BEEN "CLOSED OUT". THE DEALER IN MICHIGAN LOOKED AT THE CAR 24 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND DETERMINED THERE WERE NO ISSUES. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM ON FEB 29TH. THE NEW PATCH WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL THE 1ST QUARTER (NO DATE). HOWEVER, 8 MONTHS LATER - THE FUEL TANK IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL. I ALSO NOTICED PREVIOUSLY THAT WHEN I FILLED UP, THE CAR DIDN'T TURN OVER RIGHT AWAY. FORD REFUSES TO...

CSP 13N03 AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ETB PROBLEMS CAUSED MY CAR TO ABRUPTLY DROP POWER/RPM TO ~1000RPM. LATER IDENTIFIED ISSUE TO BE RELATED TO ETB AND TOOK TO MY FORD DEALER EXPECTING NEW SOFTWARE AND/OR ETB REPLACEMENT PER 13N03. DEALER REPLACED BUT THEN BEGGED OFF REQUESTING I PAY WARRANTY REPAIR COST OF $122 BECAUSE "MANUAL TRANSMISSION" VEHICLES AND THOSE NOT ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO WERE NOT COVERED. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT MY ISSUE WAS EXACTLY THAT COVERED BY 13N03 AND FEEL THAT HAVING THE POWER LOSS "LIMP MODE" OCCUR IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE ACTUALLY PUT ME AT MORE RISK BECAUSE OF THE GREATER SPEED LOSS DUE TO THE DIRECT CONNECTED DRIVE PATH. LUCKILY IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT ON A LESS TRAVELED ROAD ALLOWING ME TO COAST OFF SAFELY ONTO THE SHOULDER. I PAID THE $122 SINCE THEY HAD ALREADY DONE THE WORK BEFORE REALIZING THAT MY CAR WAS NOT...
