Difficult to start after refueling (unaffected by amount of fuel inside tank); intermittently grunting/vibration sounds coming from fuel tank at random intervals. Happens while parked and while in motion. Car has also had electrical-type humming sound coming from gear knob and dash since I bought it with 36K miles on it.
As I was driving on the highway my car engine started cutting out and check engine light came on. Replaced spark plugs, fuel filter and coil pack. Problem did not resolve. Took car to chapman Ford in scottsdale AZ. They found that the fuel injector in cylinder 2 had stuck open flooding the cylinder with gasoline and compromising lubrication in that cylinder. Repair requires removing engine and rebuilding it. Vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it of which 95% is highway miles. If I wouldn't have known to switch it to sport mode and keep the RPM up until I could get to a safe location it could have stalled on the highway causing a collision. After doing research online found that this is a common problem with the ecoboost 4 cylinder motor and should be a recall item. Ford refusing to pay for repairs on a car that's just over 2 years old. With previous Ford vehicles I have always been offered an extended warranty but was not on this vehicle.
The windows go up and down by themselves and you can't put them up all the way or they will go back down by themselves and their is some kind of interference in the electrical system that comes through the stereo and lights. And this same problems happened 2 time's before this date below so it happened 3 times

In May 2017 my Ford Fusion sport lost power to the wheels while accelerating, I was able to brake and coast to a stop on the side of the road. Turned vehicle off and issue went away. Took car to bob rorhman dealership in schaumburg il, Ford and dealership states ntf, no trouble found, Ford corporate service managers also said ntf, case file 12313619-N2S9X3. On August 7th, 2018 the issue happened again as I was leaving work, I accelerated and car went into limp mode. I proceeded to the side of the road as I was getting honked at by other drivers, turned car off and on and the issue went away. I opened a new case file with Ford cas15469320 on 8/9/2018. The etb has been an issue in the past, reference 'customer satisfaction program (13N03)'. I deem this a critical safety concern, if I was a Ford engineer on my fmea this failure mode severity is a 10, I work in automotive. I have photos and videos of the incident.
