Ford Fusion Engine Safety Report | May 14, 2013
Reported on May 14, 2013
| I WAS TRAVELING ON THE KENNEDY EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO AT ABOUT 4:30 PM AT RUSH HOUR TIME. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY KIND OF NOTICE AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN I TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. I MANAGED TO GET OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT AND WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. FINALLY I TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY, TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. NO WARNING. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE NO ACCELERATION. I'M BEING TOLD IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR | |
