2016 Ford Fusion Fuel System Problems

EVAP blocking valve failed and car immediately went into limp mode on the highway. By doing this it could cause a crash. EVAP blocking valve also should last the life of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped, the engine started to rev. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact drove into a gas station and the vehicle shut off while parking the vehicle. The contact's brother arrived at the scene and restarted the vehicle; however, the revving persisted. The contact was informed by another owner of a similar vehicle that the failure was related to the fuel system. The vehicle continued to rev, and the contact opened the fuel tank which allowed fumes and air pressure to be released from the gas tank. The vehicle resumed normal operation while the contact drove home; however, the failure returned the next time the contact drove the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a diagnostic code reader showed a defect with the evaporative canister vent solenoid. The vehicle was advised to stop driving the vehicle and the vehicle was towed back to the residence. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

For 2 1/2 months, every time I pump gas, I couldn't get the car to start without revving the engine. I took it to the Ford service center, and they informed me that it's the Canister Purge Valve that needed to be replaced. They also mentioned that they have seen a lot of cars with the same issue.

1st incident (Oct. 8, 2024)- while traveling up a slight incline vehicle began to sputter and then stopped accelerating. No codes where thrown, no warning of any kind. The vehicle was still running and had all power, but there was no acceleration when pressing on the gas pedal. I was able to turn the car off and restart it and acceleration started but only for a brief moment, I was able to pull off into a driveway. Turned off the vehicle and restarted - vehicle would not accelerate. Turned off vehicle and waited 10-15 minutes - restarted the vehicle and the vehicle accelerated. Vehicle drove fine until the 2nd incident (Nov. 2, 2024) - stopped at a red light, once light turned green - no acceleration, no codes, no warning signs, and vehicle was still running and had power. Turned off vehicle and restarted and accelerated. Again, the vehicle drove fine until the 3rd incident (Nov. 19, 2024) - same thing happened - stopped at a red light, once light turned green - no acceleration, no codes, no warning signs, and vehicle was still running and had power. My safety and others are very much at risk due to the fact that I am not able to accelerate when needed and there isn't any warning as to when it will happen. I am luckly that I have been able to turn the vehicle off and back on again quickly.

Vehicle after every single time we refuel have to press gas pedal to start afterwards it keeps stalling until you gun the acceleration to pick up speed. Vehicle after that runs okay until the next time you fuel up.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that upon refueling the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the float gauge, requiring a replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed the diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

After a rear-end collision, my check engine light came on. I have been told it is due to a problem with the purge valve; however, the purge value is located in the front of the vehicle. I am concerned that a rear-end collision can cause this vehicle damage to the emission system that is coded incorrectly, or a rear-end collision can cause damage to the car's computer system causing it to throw faulty codes.

The car stalls on idle repently and check engine light won't turn on, so there no error codes. But apparently it's a fuel pressure sensor.

Purge valve, fuel filler neck/vacuum neck and air grill issues - check engine lights on for engine and inject issues.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed with the fuel tank half-full, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred after refueling the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Driving on internet highway at approximate 65 mph, the car shut off. I coasted to the roadside in heavy traffic. after many tries, the car restarted and got off the thruway and drove home. This car has 21907 miles on it. I made an appointment at Gary Crossley Ford in Kansas City, Mo. They told me it was a fuel faulty purge valve, and because the car with 21907 miles on it was out of warranty and would cost $870.00. I have since researched the purge valve and find that it is a pretty common event to shut the car off on crowded highways. This is a serious and dangerous problem. When I called Ford Dearborn to check if there was a recall, I was told it wasn't a problem.

throttle body-wpc part ds7z9e926d The throttle control element failed. Traveling on highway going about 45mph and engine jolted lost power and immediately reduced speed to about 10mph (,if car behind me was close would have ran into the rear of my car ) Car was running very rough -Coasted to side of highway - shut car down and restarted , Car was ok for about a mile - same thing again but was able to make it home very slowly, engine running very rough. Garage replaced throttle control element. Running ok now. Incident was very scary and could have easily caused an accident.

Canister purge valve malfunction. I had trouble starting my car a couple of times and it would randomly stall out. But after getting gas this last time, I noticed a humming/grinding sound coming from the gas tank. When stopped at a red light (in rush hour traffic) the car stalled completely and wouldn't start. Had to wait a few seconds and try starting again and again, when it finally started again the noise was still there. I called a friend and we ran diagnostics on it and it returned the error of the canister purge valve malfunction. This has been a recall on other Ford cars in the past but not showing on my VIN....

CANISTER PURGE VALVE MALFUNCTION. CAR STALLED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE BUSY FREEWAY. ANOTHER TIME IT HAPPENED AT THE GAS STATION WHEN TRYING TO RE-START MY CAR AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN. WE RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND IT FACE THE ERROR OF THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE MALFUNCTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY DISPLAYED A 'WRENCH' INDICATOR WHICH STATES 'SEE OWNER'S MANUAL'. THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE (GAS PEDAL/ACCELERATION WAS DISABLED). AFTER STEERING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE VERY ROUGH BEFORE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE VERY ROUGH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH APPEARED ILLUMINATED. UPON INSPECTION WITH AN OBD II CODE READER, THE CODE 'P2111' WAS DISPLAYED. THIS INDICATED A 'STUCK OPEN' THROTTLE, RESULTING IN THE DISABLED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE CODE WAS CLEARED, THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOME ON SURFACE ROADS. AFTER BRIEF INSPECTION, THE THROTTLE APPEARS TO BE MECHANICALLY IN GOOD CONDITION, AND INVESTIGATION ONLINE INDICATES MANY OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE/MODEL EXPERIENCE A FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THIS EXPLAINS THE SYMPTOMS EXEPRIENCED BY MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE MECHANICAL CONDITION OF THE THROTTLE BEING GOOD. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A VARIETY OF SCENARIOS, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR WENT BAD AFTER 81000 MILES. THE CAR HAD A WHINING SOUND WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CAR SPUTTERED WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CAR LOST PROPULSION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST STOP FOR NO REASON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON OCCASIONALLY AND IT SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS ON OCTOBER 17, 2019 AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING.*DT*DT CONSUMER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON 05/29/20 AND SINCE THEN HAS RECURRED 2 MORE TIMES, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE.*JB

I BOUGHT THE CARE IN APRIL 2017,WITHIN A MOTH I STARTED SMELL CAR OUTSIDE THE CAR WHEN EVER I STARTED IT. YOU CAR SMELL IT UP TO 75 FT AWAY. TOWARDS THE FRONT AND DRIVERS SIDE. IT S BURNT GAS.

CAN'T SMELL WHEN DRIVING ONLY WHEN PARKED.ONLY FROM OUTSIDE OF CAR! IT IS NOT THE EXHAUST LIKE I SAID IT IS CLEAN UNBURNT GAS! THIS HAPPENS DAILY. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR FORD FUSION SE IN AUGUST 2019 AND NOW WE'RE TOLD OUR PURGE VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY TO BE SEEN.

EVAP FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE ASSEMBLY FAILED. DEALER CHARGING $314.00 AND SAID FORD DOES NOT COVER THIS PART UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS AN EMISSION COMPONENT WITH MANY COMMENTS ABOUT KNOWN FAILURE.
