Ford Fusion Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Nov 15, 2012
Reported on Nov 15, 2012
| THE VEHICLE STALLED/LOST POWER, WHILE MAKING A TURN AT 15-20 MPH. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING I TRIED TO START IT AFTER 15/20 MINUTES. IT STARTED, BUT WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK SINCE I WAS AFRAID TO GET ON THE ROAD. IT WAS LOOKED AT AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRSHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE FOUND, BUT THAT PERHAPS THE THROTTLE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AFTER 30,000 MILES. THIS COST AROUND $250. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED A THIRD TIME AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR ON MAY 17, 2013. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START AS IN THE PAST. HAD BOTH ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT. HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS TIME, THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRSHOP, NORRIS FORD TECHS, SAID THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY THE THROTTLE MECHANISM AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THREE DAYS SINCE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. DESPITE THIS MAJOR REPAIR, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, JUNE 7, 2013. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 55MPH. THE CAR LOST POWER, STARTED SHAKING, AND STALLED. I'VE BEEN LUCKILY SO FAR THAT NOONE HAS HIT ME FROM THE BACK, BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED AND AFRAID THAT I DECIDED TO REPORT IT. THIS FORD FUSION PROBLEM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED. *TR | |
