Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Apr 03, 2012
Reported on Apr 03, 2012
| I BOUGHT MY CAR ON DECEMBER, 2011. 1ST PROBLEM WAS THE DASHBOARD TURNING OFF FOR NO REASON. THE 2ND PROBLEM IS LIFE THREATENING. I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP, THE READERS GO CRAZY, AND MY CAR WILL DECELERATE TO 25MPH AND WILL NOT GO OVER THAT SPEED. EVERY TIME I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I DO THE CAR SHAKES. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON ITS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. NO LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE CAR DRIVES LIKE A CHAMP. IT DOES IT AT RANDOM TIMES, AND RANDOM SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2012 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IN AUGUST I TOOK THE CAR IN TWICE, THE FIRST TIME NOTHING WAS FOUND, THE SECOND TIME THEY CHANGE THE THROTTLE BODY ON IT. PROBLEM FIXED RIGHT?? NOT EVEN CLOSE. IN NOVEMBER IT DID IT AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT SEE MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY LOANER VEHICLES. THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO RANDOMLY JERK AT A STOP LIGHTS OR WHEN I CHANGED GEARS. THIS WEEK THE FLARE UP HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE CAR JERKED WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT BOTH TURNED ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND RIGHT WHEN I STARTED GOING UP A HILL THE DASHBOARD LIT UP, THE READERS WENT CRAZY AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO BREAK BUT WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS THE CAR BARELY CREPT UP THE HILL. THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN TURNED OFF BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT WHEN THEY CHECKED IT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THERE WERE NO CODES ON THE COMPUTER. I AM SCARED OF THE CAR I AM DRIVING. I KNOW THE CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND SO DOES THE DEALER BUT THEY JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I CALLED FORD BUT ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THEY WERE WORKING WITH THE DEALER. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. *TR | |
