Ford Fusion Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Aug 14, 2013
Reported on Aug 14, 2013
| I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE10 WESTBOUND AT 65-70MPH AND MY CAR SLOWLY DESCENDED SPEED AS I ACCELERATED! CARS BEHIND ME BECAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MY BUMPER! I THEN TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THANK GOD I WAS NOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER! THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2013, SAID IT WAS DUE TO A BAD 'THROTTLE BODY UNIT.' I ASKED HOW LONG WAS IT BAD BC I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 5 MONTHS AGO! THE REP SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW BUT NOW THE THROTTLE BODY IS OUT! I HAD TO PAY THE DAILY 'TAXES' ON THE RENTAL CAR THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR BC IT WAS THEIR FAULT THAT PART WENT BAD AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY! I HAD A $100 DEDUCTIBLE WARRANTY/POLICY. *TR | |
