FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SWISHING MOVEMENT OF THE THE GAS IN THE GAS TANK WHEN BRAKING, GOING OVER A RUGGED SURFACE & GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR POTHOLES. SOME TIMES THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FROM INSIDE THE CAR TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO 2 SEPARATE FORD SERVICES & NEITHER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SOUND IS COMING FROM OUR REAR BRAKES TO BEING TOLD THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CONSTANT STILL SO THERE'S NO WAY COULD IT BE CAUSED BY THOSE. WE'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES AT THE 1ST LOCATION AND ONCE AT THE 2ND LOCATION, WE'VE WENT ON TEST DRIVES & ALL THE TECHNICIANS HAVE HEARD & FELT THE NOISE, BUT BOTH LOCATION SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT & WHENEVER I'LL PICK THE CAR BACK UP THEY'LL SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUES. OUR MILES HAS NOW BEEN GOING DOWN WAY FASTER THAN USUAL AS WELL & OUR AVERAGE MPG HAS BEEN DROPPING SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THIS FIRST STARTED TO OCCUR. WE ALSO HAVE BEEN NEEDING TO FILL UP THE TANK ABOUT 3-4 TIME A WEEK NOW COMPARED TO JUST ONCE BECAUSE THE GAS JUST HAS BEEN DROPPING SO FAST & INACCURATE READINGS ON THE MILES WE'VE DRIVEN. THE SWISHING AROUND CAN BE HEARD VERY LOUDLY & FELT MORE IN NIGHT TIME DRIVING & ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING IN TRAFFIC & APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT/SIGN. THERE ARE TIMES AFTER PARKING, SHUTTING OFF IGNITION & EXITING THE CAR THAT THERE'S SMELL OF GAS HEAVY TO THE REAR OF THE CAR & I'VE ALSO OBSERVED THE SMELL COMING FROM THE OPENINGS OF THE REAR WHEELS. I'M AFRAID IN THE EVENT OF A REAR/SIDE COLLISION THAT THE CHANCE OF AN EXPLOSION IS MUCH HIGHER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2017 & ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TOLD A FORD SERVICE PERSON ABOUT IT TO NO AVAIL. I'VE CALLED FORD TO COMPLAIN IN DEC & FEB & ONLY SAID TO TAKE ELSEWHERE.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
THIS VEHICLE IS AT 48800 MILES AND I STARTED TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS/ERRORS ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN: "HILL HOLD ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", "SERVICE ADVANCETRACK", ABS FAULT AND AIRBAG FAILURE SIGN LIGHTS REMAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER THESE WARNINGS I LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. HOWEVER THE WARNING SIGNS DID NOT CLEAR AND I LOST ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND AIRBAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED WITH A FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ERROR CODES THEY GOT FROM THE CAR WERE C0031 AND U0401. THE FIRST ONE IS RELATED TO A SHORT WIRE IN THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND THIS PART WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AFTER REPLACEMENT ALL THE MENTIONED WARNINGS/ERRORS REMAIN AND U0401 CODE REMAINED. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE ARE JUST FROM COMMUNICATION ERROR FROM THE COMPUTER OR THESE PARTS ARE ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR RIGHT NOW. IN ANY CASE, ALL OF THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS ARE NOT RELATED WITH DRIVERS DRIVING HABITS, STORAGE CONDITIONS AND OTHER THINGS RELATED TO THE USAGE OF THE CAR AND SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, EVEN IF IT IS A COMMUNICATION ERROR OR WIRING PROBLEM. AND THE AFFECTED COMPONENTS ARE VITAL SO IF THERE IS A PRODUCTION ERROR, THIS SHOULD BE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Potential Consequences:
WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET MY FORD FUSION LOST ENGINE POWER. THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO LESS THAN 500RPM, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND THE HAVE DEALER SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT CAME ON. PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON RPMS. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT WAS STILL IDLING UNDER 500RPM AND THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE SPEED. AFTER THE 3RD RESTART, I COULD GET ENOUGH ENGINE SPEED TO RETURN TO MY HOTEL BUT IT RAN VERY ROUGH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CARMAX DEALER IN HENDERSON, NV. I PURCHASED IT FROM A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ROSEVILLE, CA. THEY SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER IN HENDERSON. THE DEALER REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY - ATTACHING THE REPAIR INVOICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ONLINE AND THAT FORD SOMEHOW STOPPED NORTH CAROLINA FROM FORCING THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE HECK OF AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR RAPIDLY SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.
