Ford Fusion Engine Safety Report | Nov 08, 2012
Reported on Nov 08, 2012
| WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED. A WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY TWO OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST ANOTHER 20 TIMES SINCE THEN. I'VE SPOKEN WITH FORD OVER THE PHONE REPEATEDLY AND EXPLAINED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEB SITES DISCUSSING THIS AS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. BUT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR | |
