Ford Fusion Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | June 21, 2013
Reported on June 21, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPG MY CAR 'STALLED'. SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION BUT MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING, WRENCH LIGHT POPPED ON. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND UPON RESTARTING IT THE CAR RAN OK. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT AUTO AND PULLED NO CODES. THOUHT IT WAS A FLUKE. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PUTTERING TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. MY 3 CHILDREN AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE CAR. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY BUT IT IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 2-4 WEEKS, POSSIBLY MORE. IN THE MEANTIME I REFUSE TO PUT MY DAUGHTERS BACK IN THIS DEATHTRAP FORD CALLS A CAR. AND LIKE MOST PEOPLE WE CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE CAR SO THIS IS A HUGE INCONVEINCE TO US. HOW MANY MORE CASES NEED TO BE FILED, HOW MANY MORE TERIFFIED CONSUMERS WILL IT TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE?!? PLUS DRIVETRAIN WARRANTIES SUPPOSEDLY DO NOT COVER THESE REPAIRS. I COME FROM A LOOONG LINE OF FORD FAMILY BUT I AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I CAN GET OUT OF THIS CAR. *TR | |
