Ford Fusion Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | July 06, 2012
Reported on July 06, 2012
| MY BRAND NEW CAR, IN MY POSSESSION FOR 7 DAYS HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE SHOP. MY 11 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND 2 MONTH OLD NIECE WERE IN THIS CAR WHEN IT SUDDENLY STALLED AND JERKED. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND DRIVE JERKING BACK AROUND THE BLOCK TO MY STARTING POINT. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY AT A HIGH SPEED BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE ACCELERATION IS AFFECTED BY THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE PART WAS REPLACE BUT I BELIEVE THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE NOT THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS HAZARDOUS COMPONENT AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION. *TR | |
