FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I STARTED GETTING A CHECK FUEL INLET WARNING OCCASIONALLY AND THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS FAULTY AND WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT THE COST OF $341. AS IT WERE MY 2010 FORD FUSION HAS THE VERY SAME PART BEING REPLACE AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. I NOTED THIS TO BOTH MY FORD DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT I AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. MY QUESTION IS WHY IT'S A SAFETY RECALL IN ONE INSTANCE BUT AN OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY IN ANOTHER.

NHTSA complaint #10905028 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2016 F150 COMPANY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A CRAWL, AND I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM IS THE THERE WERE DOZENS OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PART IS IN BACK ORDER. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE!! IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART ACCORDING TO THE DEALER....WOW!! I READ ONLINE THAT BACK IN 2012 SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA, AND FORD "AGREED" TO REPLACE THE PART ON 1.6MM VEHICLES, AND DECLARED THE PROBLEM SOLVED!! I THINK THE PROBLEM IS FAR FROM SOLVED IF IT IS HAPPENING TO DOZENS OF NEW VEHICLES IN ONE DEALERSHIP!! IMAGINE THE PROBLEM WHOLE COUNTRY WIDE AND/OR WORLD WIDE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT EVEN CALLED A RECALL IN 2012! MY COMPANY NOW HAS TO RENT A VEHICLE UNTIL A REPLACEMENT PART IS SHIPPED. THEY SAY 2 WEEKS, PROBABLY MORE TIME SINCE IT IS THEIR ESTIMATE!! THIS ISSUE HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

NHTSA complaint #10733578 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK ON THIS FORD E150 VAN LEAKS FUEL DURING FILL UPS. THE FORD DEALER (PACIFICO FORD IN BROOMALL, PA) STATES THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. THE FUEL TANK DEVELOPED CRACKS AND PIN HOLES AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. RESEARCH ONLINE STATES THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WITH OTHER FORD TRUCK AND VANS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE RECALL, NAMELY 01V114000 COVERS FORD VANS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 04/09/1996- 11/14/2000. MY VEHICLE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN FROM FOR IS DATED AUGUST 28, 2000 AND THEREFORE PROVES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SPECIFIED DATES. THIS VEHICLE IS USED AS A WORK TRUCK, SO IT OPERATES NEAR THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT. DUE TO A LACK OF INSULATORS SEPERATING THE TANK AND STEEL CROSS MEMBERS, THE CONSTANT RUBBING CAUSED THE DETERIATION OF THE FUEL TANK.
NHTSA complaint #10716767 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I AM UNABLE TO PUT FUEL INTO MY VAN WITHOUT HAVING GAS SPILLED ON ME OR MY VAN. AFTER I START TRYING TO FILL TANK, THE FUEL TANK CAN BE COMPLETELY EMPTY, AND STILL HAVE FUEL SPILLED ALL OVER. I HAVE TO STAND THERE PUTTING FUEL IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND THIS CAN TAKE UP TO AND EVEN MORE THEN 30 MINUTES.
NHTSA complaint #10702058 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE---WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, FUEL GAUGE SAID I STILL HAD 185 MILES TO FILL UP. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. NO POWER TO ANY THING. HAD TO HAVE TRUCK TOWED APPROX. 25 MILES TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. AFTER 4 HOURS OF LOOKING FOR THE REASON, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENSOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE COST WOULD BE OVER 1,200.00 TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE PURCHASED AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF THINGS STILL TO HAPPEN. I WAS WONDERING IF FORD WOULD HAVE THIS FIXED FOR ME. THANK YOU,
