Ford Fusion Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Aug 20, 2013
Reported on Aug 20, 2013
| I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY CAR STALLED. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO JUST LET IT COAST AND ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT VERY ROUGH. AFTER I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, IN A FEW MINUTES IT DID RESTART. BUT BY THIS TIME A DEPUTY HAD SHOWN UP. HE WOULD NOT LET ME TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WHEN THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER NOTHING SHOWED UP. I THEN TOOK MY CAR MY CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. AND WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING THE CAR THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $600 TO REPAIR MY CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, IF I HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR | |
