Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | June 18, 2012
Reported on June 18, 2012
| I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONTO A MAJOR INTERSTATE ON MY WAY TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 55 TO 60 MPH AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I CUT THE MOTOR OFF. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK AND PROCEEDED TO WORK. DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP ON THE FIRST INCIDENT. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS COMING HOME AND HAD JUST CROSSED OVER A TWO LANE HIGHWAY TO GET TO THE ROAD I LIVE ON AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND THERE WAS A JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AGAIN, FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SET FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WE THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR IN. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. WE DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AT APPROX. 70 MPH IN THE FAST LANE WITH A TRACTOR AND TRAILER BEHIND ME THE CAR PROCEEDED AGAIN TO LOSE POWER. THE TRACTOR AND TRAILER HAD TO APPLY HIS BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME IN THE BACK. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN. AGAIN WE CUT THE MOTOR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WERE ADVISED TO BRING IT IN AGAIN. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY FINALLY CALLED US AND SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. WE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NATURALLY THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD NOT HELP US WITH THE COST OF THE THROTTLE BODY. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR FORD TO DO A RECALL?? DEATH!! I HAVE READ APPROXIMATELY 70 COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2010 FUSIONS. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT FREQUENTLY RIDE WITH ME, DOES FORD NOT CARE ABOUT THE LIVES THAT COULD BE TAKEN DUE TO THIS ISSUE OR ARE THEY MAKING SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS THAT THEY DON'T CARE. *TR | |
