Fusion 1.5L

  • Automatic transmission

The car stalls out when trying to accelerate at slow speed. OBD said not enough gas pressure. I replaced both fuel pumps. It still stalls. What is the problem?

Fusion SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,900 miles

Car started stalling and dying momentarily a few times. It did this pulling onto a main thoroughfare, but I was able to pull over. Then had me stranded 45 minutes. I was in a large parking lot, so not in danger. Would crank and immediately die. I was going to get it towed, but the wait was another hour, so I canceled. I kept trying it, got it home, cranking and dying! Then it was fine, was able to drive it to the dealer. They had it 13 days. To give them credit, they were trying to get Ford to cover the well over $1000 fee to fix a fuel pump error, which was the only slight indicator when they ran diagnostics. So they replaced it. Didn't have it back a week and it was doing the same thing. Two momentary issues, then able to drive. Third time, wouldn't run for an hour. Crank and die. then, started running, got it home. Now I am waiting for them to call me! I will NEVER buy a Ford again. Had bought the Focus first, and that was a piece of junk-major issues. It did get great gas mileage and was a good looking car. But I had traded in a MAZDA I had driven for 10 years with absolutely NO ISSUES. Wish I had it back!

Fusion SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,500 miles

I purchased my used 2014 Ford Fusion approximately 2 years ago, and I had no major problems up until about a week ago. I noticed my car cut off while leaving the grocery store parking lot. It took me 2 tries and it cranked back up with no problems. Well fast forward to this pass Friday, my car randomly shut off out of no where while I was driving! I almost got hit as it happened while I was crossing a road and cars were coming! Luckily no one hit me! Ford needs to do something about this issue ASAP!

I looked up problems with this model and find I am not alone as there have been many complaining about the same problem. Please fix this immediately before someone losing their life! I will have the dealer look at it on Wednesday but from what I am seeing it looks like the throttle body and fuel sensor may need replacing. Any helpful advice is welcome.

Fusion V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Multiple times over the last 5 weeks while 'normal' driving, the engine power simply dies - and no response when I hit accelerator, car comes to a stop/no fuel power, (radio remains on) so hopefully can still pull over!! So far, this happens at slower speeds. Obviously this can be tragic under the wrong scenario! After the power loss, I turn off engine, then attempt restart - the engine does turn over, but ignition usually takes longer to start, which is also scary. From previous posts this is clearly a significant defect in the manufacturing process as it has happened way too much. A couple of people have suggested the electric throttle body proved to be the issue... won't even attempt to bring in to Ford based on the other posts; will mention to my mechanic the issue and possibly replacing the electric throttle body as a solution.

The engine suddenly stalls while driving and after a minute or two will surge forward. I have informed the Ford dealer of this problem since January 2017 but they were unable to correct the problem.

Fusion

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

My car stalled while driving. No dashboard warning light, it was responding a little bit like I was either out of gas or like I was stealing it (like the computer system was shutting down) Similar experience with pro-lock back in 1993 in my Saturn SL1 but once I removed pro-lock the car ran like a champ. I put 275,000 miles on it without any repairs (maintenance only). This Stall problem is intermittent and dangerous. I had my Ford Fusion towed to the dealership and the Service department mechanics said they were never able to replicate the problem. They put 400 miles on it and it never stalled on them.

I picked the car up after Thanksgiving and it ran without incident for about a week. It stalled out in a parking lot but it re-started and I drove it for another 3 days without incident. then today it did it again and it left me stranded in traffic on a 55MPH road. The service shop was closed today (Sunday)

I would like Ford Motor company to look at my car I don't feel safe driving it and the Dealership Mechanics can't figure out what's wrong with it. They ran a diagnostic assessment but no error readings appeared. HELP

Fusion SE 2.0L

My 2.0 ecoboosr SE was stalling after short stops at store, engine would just die about 30 seconds after starting and pulling out of parking spot or driveway. Thanks to this forum I skipped diagnostics fees and asked the shop manager at the local Ford dealership to tell me what he was doing with other Fusions and Escapes w/ same problem and he came clean and told me that replacing the fuel pressure sensor (in the super high pressure fuel rail required by the direct injection system) will fix the problem 9 out of 10 times. And it did, my car was stalling 2 to 3 times a day... though hasn't stalled since, that was lake 2,800 miles ago. So don't trade or dump your Fusion/Escape, just be prepared to invest another $200 to keep it running like new.

Fusion SE

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,567 miles

Something is defenitly not right, I've taken the my car to the dealership 3 times and they checked the transmission, changed 3 solenoids had it for over 3 weeks and when I got it back it did it worse. so I took it back and they told me after checking again bring it back when it's broke I fear for my safety. My car has 48,000 and runs like crap. I bought it in Feb 2016 it had 26,000 I bought it from my local ford dealership. My car when put into reverse it clunks into reverse it's a very hard shift . When driving and I have to brake to slow down a bit I return to foot on gas to continue and it misses , the RPM go all the way up to 4 and stay for a second or 2 it started doing this 2 months after I got it .

Fusion Titanium

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

My 2014 Fusion Titanium stuttered and then cut off in a parking lot as I started to leave. This issue happened multiple times, when my wife was driving the car. I took it to the dealer, who sold it to me, to get it checked. I was told that since there was no code, nothing could be done. The problem continued to happen intermittently and then quit for about six months. In December 2016, it started to happen again but this time the engine light came on. I took it to my mechanic, since the Ford warranty had expired. My mechanic said that the codes now indicate that the fuel pressure was low. The fuel pump was then replaced. After a couple weeks, the stalling has resumed intermittently.

Fusion SE 2.0L Ecoboost

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,613 miles

Driving around all day last week and on three separate occasions car completely lost power had to put the car in neutral then back drive to get the power back. Called Ford and was advised to bring it on Monday morning they didn't seem to think it was such a big deal that the car loss power while I was driving. So I went out and bought a new car and will be ending my lease early with Ford since my safety is none of their concern.

It has happened a total of five times. Vehicle has been taken to the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with it. I can be stopped at a red light and next thing you know the car is dead and won't turn over.

problem #2

Fusion ES 1.5L Ecoboost

  • Automatic transmission
  • 17,585 miles

Engine without warning loses power at highway speed. Pumping accelerator only thing that's brought it back to "normal" power. This has happened several times since approximately 9000 miles.This loss of power has also happened during mild acceleration. Scary when pulling into traffic. Neither has set "check engine light".

One service advisor at purchasing dealer I asked about the 2 problems commented, we can't diagnose problem without "check engine light" set. This seems like, a cop out.

Jan 082014

Fusion SE Ecoboost

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles

Bot this car new and upon returning from a short vacation in the mountains I noticed I could not climb a hill. Looked at the dash and saw no RPM's . The engine was still on but the car had no power. After down shifting a few times the power returned. Went to the dealer upon return home. Dealer could not find any problem and went home hoping it would not happen again. This happened 3 more times while traveling on the freeway and each time I took it to the dealer they could not find a problem with the car. I I have hired an attorney who is attempting to have Ford buy back the car as it is unsafe to drive in this condition.
