2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid Fuel system Problems

“When having the car serviced, I was asked if I was aware of the smell of gas and the visual leak. I was not, as my nose was damaged and I have no sense of smell. Online, Ford recall notice 13s04 describes my problem. I called Ford customer care only to be advised my vehicle is not subject to the recall. I have been directed to go to a Ford dealer to as about an examination of the car.”

“Check fuel fill port light keeps coming on. I hit ok and then it goes off. However, this time the check engine light came on with it, so I took it in to the dealer. They simply reset the code, and told me that gas pump nozzles are sometimes dirty and can trip the sensor. One week later, the light is on again and I will take it into the shop this week. Worry there could be a gas leak, as after I fill the tank completely, the gauge sinks to 3/4 of a tank in about 5 miles.”

“My vehicle - from a stopped position - accelerated on its own to 40 MPH (rather quickly). However, the gas pedal was not engaging (ie. Depressing). This occurred at lunchtime on 17-jun-2016. All trouble lights on the dash lit-up. The behavior continued until I shut the vehicle off at the dealer (elder Ford in troy, mi). I was unable to engage the throttle at all; it was essentially 'dead', even though my vehicle was accelerating to 40 MPH and maintaining that speed. Braking response was diluted because the car was self-propelling (imagine trying to brake while also applying gas). …”

“After leaving work and driving for approximately 5 minutes, the car experienced the failure. It was sunny outside and warm. The climate control system was not in use. While driving in EV mode, the car dropped its speed from 25 mpg to 2mph. I was in traffic and had to drive 2 blocks until I could pull over. The car display flashed electrical system failure. The car display and all interior lighted went dark. The car did not switch to the gas engine and the gas engine did not turn on. The car was towed to the dealer. The dealer found 50 error codes on the car. …”

“While driving down the highway at 45 MPH the cars beside us began honking and flashing lights at us. We began to slow for a traffic light and smoke began to pour our from underneath the car. The engine warning light came on and we pulled left into the turn lane to stop. We then turned on the flashers and turned off the car and exited to the median. We called 911 and luckily, there was an accident going the other direction with fire and police arriving at that accident. Upon seeing our situation, the orange city, fl fire marshall came across the street to help us and sent the fire truck to us. …”
