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.

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 Fusion 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.

- Hedgesville, WV, USA

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.

Ford Fusion recall - coolant leaks / engine overheating and fires I bought a 2013 Ford Fusion with 36,000 miles on it less than three months ago. This vehicle was included in the 2017 recall due to coolant leaks and engine overheating issues which have resulted in engine fires. The recall did not provide any repairs or replacements to the coolant system but instead installed a sensor intended to notify the driver when overheating was occurring and to shut down the car engine before a fire ignited. My car did get this sensor before I bought it and a pressure test was performed, however a coolant leak is still present and the vehicle did overheat to the point of engine and computer shut down. There is currently no long-term fix suggested by Ford or the dealership for this issue. The existing recall does not protect the driver or car occupants of imminent danger from engine fires or from property damage.

My wife was driving home in madison Wisconsin in her 2013 Ford Fusion with the 1.6 L engine. The car had only been running for about five minutes when the engine coolant overtemp warning came on. She was already in the exit lane and pulled off the beltline and stopped at the base of the exit ramp at xxxxxxx tire and auto. She shut the car off and was getting out her cell phone to call me when a man pulled up alongside of her and told her 'lady you had better get out of your car because it is on fire.' The fire department station was only a block away and was immediately called while a couple of fire extinguishers from the tire and auto place were used on it. It did not help and the entire engine compartment including the hood, fenders, windshield and right front tire were completely burned up. A police and fire report was filled out. The car had a little over 75000 miles on it and had been regularly serviced. Over a year ago the engine coolant bypass solenoid was replaced at the Ford dealer in evansville wi. We never received word on the 2017 recall.
