2008 Ford Fusion Fuel System Problems

WHEN I'M DRIVING AND RUNNING 45 MILL'S MY CAR GET DEATH. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAY THE THROTTLE BODY IT'S NOT GOOD.I HAVE INFORMATION THIS PART IT'S UNDER INVESTIGATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, INCLUDING STEERING POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED, AND TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL THROTTLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MONTHS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GETS GAS, IT DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE A FILL UP, THE ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IS CONSUMED WITH GAS FUMES. WE TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST OVER FILLING IT WHEN YOU GET GAS OR THEY ARE SPILLING GAS BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE AT ALL, I'M POSITIVE ABOUT IT. WE CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY SENT US TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID THE SAME THING. I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE GAS TANK AND THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO DO IT. HAS THERE BEEN ANY SAFETY RECALLS ABOUT THIS? THIS CAR IS MY MOTHERS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE HASN'T PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING FROM THE FUMES, IT REALLY IS TERRIBLE AND WE HAVE NO ANSWERS. I'M A FORMER MECHANIC FROM YEARS AND YEARS AGO AND KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE, MAYBE A VACUUM HOSE OR FITTING OR THE GAS TANK ITSELF, I SEE ONLINE OTHER YEARS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM ABOVE THE GAS TANK WITH A PLASTIC FITTING CRACKING. SHE HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE SHE GOT THIS CAR TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. SHE DID HAVE ANOTHER CAR HIT HER FROM BEHIND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUMPER WHEN PARKED AND IT WAS REPAIRED AT A BODY SHOP BUT THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS AFTER THAT TIME.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SURGED FORWARD AND LAST WEEK AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OK BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I PLUGGED IN A CODE READER AND IT GAVE ME ERROR CODES P2104 AND P2112. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T PART OF A RECALL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IT IS AFFECTING.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE "STALED" AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. IT FORCED ME TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART IT AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT DID IT A SECOND TIME WHILE DOING 40MPH, TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR THAT IS COVERED BY THE 2009-2013 ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY RECALL.

2006 FORD FUSION FAILS TO START OR EVEN CRANK TRYING TO START. BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS IN 3 STATES, OHIO, MD., AND NOW ILLINOIS. ALL SAY THAT THE COMPUTER TESTING SHOWS NOTHING WRONG, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. CAR DID NOT START AT THE MD DEALERSHIP AND HE PUT ON A FUEL PUMP BUT SAID THAT WOULD PROBABLY NOT FIX IT. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT YET THE PROBLEM CONTINUES EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING PERSONALLY WITNESSING THE PROBLEM. SO FORD SAYS LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY. NEW CAR BUT CAN'T BE RELIED TO START EVERYTIME AND FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. WE WANT TO GIVE THE CAR BACK EARLY ON ITS LEASE, REPLACE CAR, GIVE LOANER TO KEEP CAR ON THEIR LOT TO HAVE TIME TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM, TAKE CAR TO MORE SOPHISTICATED TESTING AREA TO FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. *TR
