Ford Fusion Electrical System Safety Report | Jan 02, 2012
Reported on Jan 02, 2012
| ON JANUARY 2ND, 2012 ON 2-SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 6000 RPM WHILE I WAS STOPPED OR NEARLY STOPPED WHILE PARKING THE CAR. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND I HAD MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE ACCELERATION HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND ON THE SECOND INCIDENT THE BRAKES WERE NOT HOLDING THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRANS INTO NEUTRAL UNTIL THE ACCELERATION DIED DOWN TO THE NORMAL RPM. ON THE SECOND OCCASION I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF 2-TIMES BEFORE THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH PRIOR CARS AND THE MANUFACTURERS HAVE HAD NO SYSTEM IN PLACE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND BECAUSE IT IS A RANDOM EVENT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE. BECAUSE OF LITIGATION IN ACCIDENT CASES I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURERS ARE IN DENIAL OF THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR | |
