Description of the problem | I have a 2014 ford fusion ecoboost 2. 0 turbo the vehicle runs great until you shut it off. Once you start it up it runs fine then within a few minutes not everytime it will just shut off. It will also start shaking in stop and go traffic then shutoff. I have avoided two head on collisions at intersections turning left when the engin died, i was able to restart it both times after a few minutes then i nearly had a rear end impact when merging on the freeway, i w as going 65-70 and as i merged over the car sputtered and shut off. I was able to coast to the shoulder and wait for a tow.. This is a very dangerous issue and i know several people all with a ford ecoboost engine that have the same issue. The problem appears to be the purge valve. Ford needs to address all ecoboost motors. This is an active recall on the ford focus 2. 0 liter cars. Suffice to say i am very cautious when ever i drive it now. I want it fixed or gone. This still happens almost daily. |
