Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Sept 04, 2012
Reported on Sept 04, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH, WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STALLED, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR ALSO BEGAN TO SHAKE PRIOR TO TURNING THE CAR OFF. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE THROTTLE BODY . THE FORD DEALER COMMENTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG THE 2010 FUSIONS. AGAIN, SINCE DISCOVERING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN REFERENCE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, AS THIS PART/DEFECT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, WITH 58,000 MILES. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY CONCERN, WITH CAR LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. *TR | |
