“Engine light warning for the canister purge valve received. Ford news site (11/23/15) stated a safety recall to be issue for 2010-11 fusions for this issue and I believe we should have received one as our car falls in the dates stated. Our VIN is not listing this as a recall and we are having to pay out of pocket for a noted recall repair. Car was stationary when the engine light came on.”
NHTSA complaint #10971594, filed 2017-04, 85,000 miles“I was driving at about 30 MPH when a yellow wrench light icon came on. The car stopped accelerating, and it seemed like only the electrical power from the battery was keeping it going. I had just exited a busy freeway where people were going 65 MPH and higher, and if I had not just happened to exit I fear I would have had an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10622328, filed 2014-08, 75,000 miles“During highway speeds, the car suddenly decelerated to around 20 MPH and showed the check engine light which later scanned to be the DTC p2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed. The NHTSA has action number pe13003 which is the same issue and was closed. Ford has issued a csp 13n03 but it does not include my VIN number but should. I called Ford and they confirmed that my VIN is not included but gave no reason why.”
NHTSA complaint #10749499, filed 2015-08, 117,000 miles“While driving down the expressway (475) there was a loss on power and the car went into what is call the limp home mode while traffic surged around we making it very dangerous to travel at this slow speed. Wench codes were displayed on the screen. After finding the nearest exit I restarted the car which put it back into normal driving mode and drove home. During the drive home the check engine came on but continued normally. Same thing happened the next day with loss of power and wrench codes.”
NHTSA complaint #10981380, filed 2017-04, 180,000 miles“When driving on the highway at 65 miles an hour, a wrench light went on in the car and within seconds the car lost power and I was only able to go 20-30 miles per hour. Got off the highway, pulled over at a gas station and turned the car off. After about 15 minutes I turned the car back on (thinking it might have been an issue with my hybrid battery), the car seemed to working okay but just to be safe I drove the car 10 miles to the local Ford dealer. …”
