Has rattle under passenger floor when fuel tank is 3/4 to full in park or in gear at complete stop or just creeping below 5 mph and have read online about the baffles breaking in the fuel tank causing this issue also read it causes air in fuel line which could be a safety issue while traveling down highway if engine cuts out due to this issue, , also drivers door doesn't always latch 100 % sometimes have to open and close door several times to shut completely and has started doing this since October of 2018 also transmission shifts funny when cold going from park to reverse has very harsh engagement and 3rd shifts very firm when going

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. After the contact filled the fuel tank with 3/4 of fuel, a loud rattling noise was heard coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the noise sounded as if the exhaust may have made contact with the fuel tank. The contact was an independent mechanic and inspected the vehicle, but could not find the source of the failure. The contact highlighted that the fuel tank rattling noise only sounded when the tank was 3/4 full and became more prominent in colder temperatures. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

While in motion, my 2014 Ford Fusion abruptly stopped accelerating. The vehicle did not turn off. The vehicle was able to drive for a few seconds (around 20 seconds) after driving out of the parking space, and afterwards it stopped accelerating. This happened to me while on the road and could have resulted in a serious accident to myself and others. It happened on more than one occasion. After getting two diagnoses from a Ford dealership, they said the issue had to do with the low side fuel pressure sensor. It was not functioning properly. They needed to replace it. Important to note is the fact that the check engine light was not on before or after the incident transpired. In other words, the vehicle's safety system gave no indication that the vehicle needed immediate attention. This safety defect is in breach of the national traffic and motor vehicle Safety Act. A vehicle should not abruptly stop accelerating while on the road as it can cause serious casualties to the owner and nearby vehicles. The fact that the vehicle's safety system/check engine light never came on is incredibly significant. This safety defect repair should be reimbursed to owners of this Ford vehicle.

Engine stalls due to fuel vacuum. When driving the engine to will stall under low rpms especially when pulling out of driveaway and at stop signs. This happens daily.

We just purchased this car. When we start out driving slow the car stalls. Pulling out into traffic from parking lots parking spots. It happens daily. Yesterday a car had to swerve not to hit us afterwe stalled and it did not start up rightaway.

So I have a 2014 Fusion, bought pre-owned currently with about 16,000 miles. I recently noticed that my car when accelerating pauses to accelerate. This is especially noticeable trying to go from 0-60 as fast as possible. Also after slowing down and hitting the gas pedal it almost feels like no power is being applied to the engine momentarily. I was stationary, then in motion below 10mph crossing an intersection on a city street and to my right a vehicle was doing 40+ in a 25 and flew over a hill and almost hit me. When I went to accelerate to get out of his way, this is when I noticed the problem, I slammed the gas and didn't move until a literal second later, luckily he slammed his brakes and nothing happened. Reason unknown, however after experimenting in a safe environment some more, I noticed that it only really happens in drive, not sport. Although it is an automatic, they split up these sections and probably different "chips" that dictate these controls. It could be a delay between pressing the pedal and receiving power. Unfortunately, I cannot drive the vehicle and record at the same time as I don't have a safe way of doing so, and it looks like you don't allow video to be uploaded anyway. The vehicle currently has 27,000, model SE, 2.5L engine, semi-automatic transmission. Again, does delay in acceleration in drive, not sport.

While driving in traffic the vehicle would stall, necessitating re-start and normal operation. Replacement of part # bu5Z*9F972 sensor fixed the problem.

Very dangerous safety hazard with my 2014 Ford Fusion. I have been having issues with my car stalling on me. Typically it happens when I am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the RPM needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. at all times I am driving at low speeds, but numerous times I was either driving into a busy street or it stalled in an intersection where I or other people could have been seriously injured. This has happened about 10 times in the last 2 weeks, but it is very random. Some days will go by without a hitch and other days it will happen 2 or 3 times. Most of the time when it happens, it happens again right after. So I will put the car in park, completely shut it off, and turn it back on, it will drive for like 5-10ft and then do it again. I took it to the dealership, and they said they could not find an issue. The did a few test drives and let it sit and run for awhile, and the car didn't stall. There is no engine light on, so they said they can not diagnose the problem, unless they see it for themselves. This is very concerning to me as I am scared to drive, knowing that it could stall and I could get in an accident. I also drive for a ride sharing company, and it is too risky for me to pick up passengers knowing something could happen, and I would be responsible. This issue needs to be addressed right away as I know I am not the only one having this problem, which means there a a number of faulty cars on the road that can just stall out at any moment and cause fatal accidents. I am scared to drive this car! this has been an on-going issue that has gradually gotten worse, and thankfully I have managed to stay accident free. (I have attached other complaints)

When turning on the car and actually taking off driving the car will stop/ shut off all by itself and I have to restart it, while driving. The steering wheel will pull or jerk while driving. I have had my car looked at twice. Changed the battery and still can't figure out why it does it.

On multiple occasions, the engine would stall while driving and after a minute or two would surge forward. I have informed the Ford dealer of this problem since January 2017.

- Chesterfield, MO, USA

The Ford Fusion on multiple occasions in the last 2 months has suddenly, without warning, lost full throttle power while driving (radio remains on), I.e., gas stops flowing into engine despite attempting acceleration, and the car will on its own come to a stop. So far, have been able to pull over without incident, but obviously it's very scary! this generally occurs shortly after the car has had ignition turned on while driving on road generally at low speed - don't want to ever experience this happening on a highway! then I turn engine off a few seconds and attempt to restart - it often takes scarily longer after this power loss to restart, but it does restart. Could lead to life-threatening situations obviously!

1) steering wheel is loose and getting looser. This happened on the freeway at 65mph. Almost lost control of the car. 2) car still thinks it is plugged in when unplugged. Will not allow vehicle to start without a new visual prompt confirming that the car is indeed unplugged.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 70 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence where a scan tool was used to diagnose the engine, which generated a P1450 code. The code was reset and the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, after fueling the fuel tank and attempting to drive, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure recurred each time fuel was placed in the vehicle. The contact called the Ford murfreesboro dealer in Tennessee where an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15V793000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The car acts like it wants to shut off after fueling. If I sit at an idle it will start to run rough. While in motion there is a vibration humming sound coming from where you put the fuel in. If I press the flap it releases a buildup of gas fumes.

- Naples, FL, USA

Heard a loud noise coming from near the gas tank, sounds like a googling or funny noise check engine light comes on and the car sputters and cuts off. All the noise was being made while driving it didn't stop until I put the car in park

- Clanton, AL, USA

The O2 sensor has burnt out, & has been burnt out for a while. After refueling at any gas station the vehicle will not start up immediately after the key is turned. It takes several attempts to get the engine to recieve fuel & to turn over, and even then it struggles to start up or keep running. I have tried different patterns of pressing the gas pedal, alternating pressure & time without finding a reliable method. The vehicle has turned off if I do not keep the mph above 15mph for at least 10 minutes, & if I stop for longer than 60seconds, it sometimes turns off. This has caused issues in light traffic, especially with the difference in speed between my car shutting off & coasting, & cars passing at 25mph or greater. The dealership refuses to acknowledge that the O2 sensor has issues, but my personal mechanic had confirmed the issue after I had the vehicle inspected at a branch of the automotive repair chain midas. After having the sensor replaced at meineke in Sept 2016, it burnt out again in October 2016. Attached is the repair reciept which we finally found today while packing for our move.

Battery was initially not taking a charge, they said it was a defective module and replaced both the module and the rear back up camera which they said was draining the battery. In this case they had the car for 2 1/2 weeks before returning it to me.. about 4 days after I got it back the car started shuddering during a reverese position in a parking lot and died.. it started right up again.. the next day it lost all acceleration at a lower speed in stop and go traffic, once again it died but started right up again. It did this two more times once on the freeway the other time down the street from my home. Ford has had the car for 5 days (since 2/19/2016) now and says there is no codes or have been able to duplicate the problem..
