Complaint Summary
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Owner Narrative
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, there was a strong fuel odor entering the cabin of the vehicle that lingered for days. The contact's grandson then discovered that fuel was leaking from the rear driver side of the vehicle. The contact continued driving the vehicle, and the vehicle shut off while driving 50 MPH on the highway. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact coasted the vehicle while in neutral(N) to a safe area. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who discovered a crack in the fuel tank and a defective purge valve. Upon investigation, the contact's grandson discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V793000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), which was linked to the failure. The dealer was notified about the failure, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle remained unrepaired with the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
