Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Sept 30, 2011
Reported on Sept 30, 2011
| ON SEPTEMBER 30TH I WAS DRIVING HOME AND I HAD ONLY DRIVEN LESS THAN A MILE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND MY CAR QUICK MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MOVE ABOUT 1 MILE PER HOUR SO I GOT THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF. IT WAS DARK AND I WAS ALONE. I WAS GOING TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW AND I DECIDED I WOULD TRY TO START THE CAR AND SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE CAR WAS MOVING LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OCT 5TH AND OCT 7TH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND BOTH TIMES I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID GETTING HIT BOTH TIMES MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO CAR REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH IT WHEN THEY CONNECT IT TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. FROM SEPTEMBER TO CURRENT DATE THE CAR HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST ANOTHER 10 TIMES. SOMETIMES THE SPEED MAY BE AT 55 OR 60 MILES PER HOUR. I DID CONTACT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND I WROTE A LETTER TO THE FORD COMPANY NEITHER PARTY HAS DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ME. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE IN THEIR PRODUCT. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SUGGESTED IT MAY BE VALUE BODY AND THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK AND BACK WAITING FOR IT TO BREAK DOWN OR TO BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT QUITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AND I AM UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. SO MUCH FOR THE COMMERCIAL NUMBER 1 MOST DEPENDABLE CAR IN AMERICA . MY FORD FUSION SUCKS. *TR | |
