Ford Fusion Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Aug 30, 2013
Reported on Aug 30, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. STARTED STALLING, ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING. WE DROVE THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME AT ABOUT 35 MPH. AGAIN, AFTER WAITING 10-15 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE SINCE WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE A CAR IS A NECESSITY BUT IT IS ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHEN ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC, ON A BUSY MULTILANE, HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY. FROM READING THIS SITE, WE HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR AND WE QUESTION WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR, AT VERY LEAST, A CONSUMER ALERT. *TR | |
