2013 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

ENGINE CYLINDER MISFIRE WITH PAST ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL NOW COMING BACK 5 YEARS AFTER INITIALLY RECALLED.

IN MODERATE TEMPERATURES, ~40-60 DEGREES F, THE ENGINE WILL STALL JUST AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. SO IN THE SPRING AND THE FALL. IT DOES NOT OCCUR IN THE WINTER OR THE SUMMER. IT USUALLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN AND THEN TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE. FOR INSTANCE, IF I DRIVE OUT TO LUNCH, STOP AND EAT, AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. JUST AFTER I START MOVING, SAY 100 FT., THE ENGINE STARTS RUNNING ROUGH AND NOTHING I DO WILL STOP IT FROM DYING. USUALLY IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND AND THEN IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN THAT DRIVE CYCLE. ONLY ONCE HAS IT OCCURRED TWICE IN A ROW. NO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" OR CODES. HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. STARTED OCCURRING IN THE SPRING OF 2018.

FORD FUSION 2013 WHILE DRIVING FUEL GAS CAP WILL MAKE A NOISE OF AIR COMING OUT, IF IT CONTINUES THE CAR WILL TURN OFF EVEN WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND STREET HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 TIMES FORD AGENCY SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX IT

HELLO, ON 03/14/2019 I CHATTED FORD ON MY NUMEROUS RECALLS ON MY 2013 FORD FUSION. I WAS GIVEN CASE# (XXXXX) AND TOLD TO TAKE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ASSESSMENT ON PRIOR RECALL REPAIRS. IN 2017 WE HAD A COOLANT RECALL AND WAS TOLD BY DAVE LITTLETON FORD IN SMITHVILLE, MO. THAT WE HAD ANTI-FREEZE ALL OVER OUR ENGINE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS OR SIGNS THAT IT HAD A COOLANT PROBLEM? WE TOOK IN BECAUSE WE GOT THE RECALL NOTICE. MY CAR HAS NEVER RAN RIGHT SINCE. IT IDLES FAST ETC. IN DECEMBER OUR FLEX PLATE CRACKED, NOW 3 MONTHS LATER IT CRACKED AGAIN. OUR MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN LINED UP CORRECTLY WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE SHOTTY MECHANICAL WORK DONE BY DAVE LITTLETON FORD. WE HAVE...

WHEN THE CAR IS WARM, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL EVERY TIME WHEN RESTARTED AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF FOR LESS THAN AND HOUR. LOSES ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, HAVE HAD A FEW SCARES WHEN TURNING ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND VEHICLE STALLS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

THE ENGINE GET OVERHEAT AND STOP WORKING. THE COOLANT LEVEL KEEP DECREASING ALONG THE DRIVING, BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY LEAKING. IT SHOULD BE RELATED TO FORD RECALL 17S09

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR IT WILL SHOW AS PARK BUT WILL ACTUALLY SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLL FORWARD OR BACK IF IN A SLIGHT HILL. ALSO AN MANUFACTURING ERROR IS CAUSING THE CAR TO ABRUPTLY STOP WHILE ON DRIVING. THE RPMS WILL INCREASE BY ITSELF AND THEN SUDDENLY FALL TO 0 AND THE CAR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL STILL BE ON I.E. RADIO , HEAT , LIGHTS BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. IT'S NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL JUST SUDDENLY STOP SO IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.

TAKAT RECALL: DRIVING CAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THEN OFF TOO FAST TO SEE WHAT WARNING IS. WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, CAR TRIES TO STOP ON OWN LIKE HITTING BRAKES WHICH I AM NOT.

MY CAR SHUTTERS AT AN IDOL OR SLOWLY TAKING OFF WHERE IT SHUTS OFF.THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE AND THE SCARY THING IS I'VE PULLED OUT IN A INTERSECTION AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT.IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON AFTER THIS HAPPING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. MY CAR HAD NO SIGNS OF TROUBLE. SUDDENLY SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HEAT VENTS ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I SAW FLAMES COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CALLED 911. BY THE TIME OF ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE DEPT THE CAR WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES.

ON JANUARY 3RD 2019 AROUND 5AM, I SAW A SIGNAL SAYING "ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE" AND ANOTHER ONE REGARDING THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED BUT I MANAGED TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. A VEHICLE BEHIND ME NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WAS A FIRE. MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER LEAVING FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE. RECORDS ALSO SHOW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL REGARDING THE ENGINE COOLANT, THAT MAY LEAD TO FIRE. I RECEIVED THAT RECALL LETTER DAYS AFTER MY CAR BROKE DOWN DUE TO AN ENGINE COOLANT RELATED ISSUE AND TOWED MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP IN 2017. AFTER RECEPTION OF THAT RECALL LETTER, I ALSO MADE SURE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO FORD SERVICES, WITH THE INVOICE OF THE REPAIR THAT HAD JUST BEEN DONE. THEY TOOK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FUNCTIONED ABNORMALLY, THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED, AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. ELDER FORD OF TAMPA (9560 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612) WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT OFFER A LOANER VEHICLE. THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A LATER DATE TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V246000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE INSTRUCTED OWNERS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND IS HARD TO START AFTER FUELING WITH GAS. AFTER TAKING IT TO FORD FOR RECALLS IN OCTOBER OF 2018 AND BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC SHOP FOR OIL CHANGE AND TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE OF STALLING, THEY MADE ME AWARE OF THE PURGE BALANCE NEEDING REPLACED AND THAT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING. APPARENTLY, FORD KNEW THIS DEFECT SINCE 2013 AND PAID FOR REPLACEMENT IF A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. NOW INTO 2019, 93,000 MILES AND NO WARRANTY, FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST IN PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR STALL IN THE ROAD AND AROUND BUSY TRAFFIC.

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING OR AT IDLE

OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD - CYLINDER HEAD CRACKED CAUSING OIL LEAK AND ENGINE FIRE. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER RECALL 17S09

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FUSION. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT HER JOB, THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND EXPLODED WITH PARTS LANDING INTO THE STREET AND ONTO OTHER PARKED VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE CONTACT COULD RETRIEVE THE INCIDENT REPORT AFTER CHRISTMAS. THE BURNED OUT VEHICLE PLANNED TO BE TOWED AWAY BY THE CONTACT'S FINANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY SINCE IT HAD OVER 56,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THE CONTACT CHECK WITH HER INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND, WHILE PARKED AT A STOPLIGHT, NOTICED SMOKE BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH FLUIDS LEAKING FROM MY ENGINE AND THAT IT WAS HIGHLY DANGEROUS, ROUTINELY RESULTING IN FIRES. MY MECHANIC DIRECTED ME TO A RECALL 12S41 THAT COVERS 2013 FORD FUSIONS AND SAID IT WAS A MATCH. HOWEVER, FORD HAS DENIED MY CLAIM CITING MY CAR WASN'T COVERED WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE (MY MECHANIC THINKS IT MIGHT HAVE BRIEFLY IGNITED) AND I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM FIXED BY FORD UNDER THIS RECALL.

WELL I NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR MAYBE A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE CAR TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP THEY DIDNT SEE ANY PROBLEMS BUT IM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING, I HAVE HAD A COOLANT PROBLEM FIXED ALREADY. THE SHOCKS WENT OUT ON THE CARE WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR. HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUELING SYSTEM. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE LEFT LIGHT SYSTEM. THEY HAVE ONLY TO RECALLS WITH MY VIN NUMBER OF THINGS THAT I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN FIXED. SO IM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY CAR AND FEEL THAT IT REALLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. EVERY THING THAT HAS HAPPEND IS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

I PURCHASED MY FUSION IN 2014 WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES. I HAD TAKEN IT HOME FOR A TEST DRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND. I HAD IT FOR LESS THAT 12 HOURS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RETURNED IT MONDAY , THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT LESS THAN 2500 MILES. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAME PROBLEM ; REPLACED AGAIN. TWO YEARS AFTER THAT WITH ONLY 38,000 MILES SAME PROBLEM CATALYTIC CONVERTED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND 3 TIMES CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACED.

VEHICLE WAS APART ONE OF MANY RECALLS, HAD FIXED, SAME ISSUES ARISED AND HAD ANOTHER RECALL, TOOK BACK IN AND NOW FORD IS STATING WE NEED A NEW ENGINE BUT WONT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE RECALL HAD ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AND LEAKING INTO A COLANDER WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE WE ARE HAVING NOW, BUT THEY WONT REPLACE IT UNLESS WE BUY A WHOLE NEW ENGINE OUT OF POCKET. THE ONLY REASON WE KNEW OF ANY RECALLS WAS BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBANDS CAR OVERHEATED, TOWED IT TO FORD AND THE PULLED UP AT LEAST 6 OR 7 RECALLS NEEDING TO BE FIXED. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THEM ALL. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE RECALLS AND IT ALL DID A TEMPORARY FIX THAT LEAD TO MORE ISSUES.
