Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Dec 23, 2011
Reported on Dec 23, 2011
| I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION S, I WAS DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR LIKE FIVE DAYS AND THE CAR WAS FINE BUT IT STARTED BACK UP IN JANURARY AND AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. IT HAS A CODE OF P211 WHICH IS THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND MULTIPLE FORD FUSION'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM. FOR SOME REASON FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID HEARING THE ISSUE ON THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES. IT IS A SAFTEY ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE AT 60-70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN YOUR CAR NO LONGER HAS A THROTTLE RESPONSE. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SHUT YOUR CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM IT JUST DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITHIN THE NEXT MILE OR TWO. FORD SHOULD REALIZE THE ISSUE AND MAKE A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE ARE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THAT ARE PAYING BETWEEN $400-$600 OUT OF THEIR POCKET IF THEIR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX A COMMON PROBLEM THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH FORD FUSIONS. *TR | |
