Ford Fusion Electrical System Safety Report | Aug 08, 2013
Reported on Aug 08, 2013
| WHILE ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN FROM COLUMBIA, MO TO CHICAGO, IL ON 08/09/2013 WHEN THE FIRST THROTTLE PROBLEM STARTED. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON THE ROAD DRIVING 60MPH, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SLOWED ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH MY DOING IT. I HAD TO HURRY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE STATE TROOPER FOR MISSOURI PULLED BEHIND US TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WE DIDN'T KNOW SO WE LOOKED IN OUR HANDBOOK. THEN WE NOTICED THAT IT MEANS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE AND TO SERVICE IT IF THE PROBLEM PERSIST. DURING THE WEEK OF 09/09/2013-0913/2013 WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL ORDER. OUR MECHANIC ESTIMATED THE COST TO FIX THE THROTTLE ISSUE TO BE BETWEEN $500-$600. TODAY 09/18/2013 WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ON ME 3 TIMES. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT COMPLAINT WITH OTHER OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND NO RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN MADE AS OF YET. | |
