Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Apr 17, 2013
Reported on Apr 17, 2013
| I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD FUSION 2 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT UP UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE OTHER MORNING I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GYM AND THE CAR LOST TOTAL POWER, SPUTTERED THEN JUST DIED. IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR OF THE FORDS. IT IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING AS IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REAL PROBLEM. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIRS WAS 600.00. I REALLY HOPE FORD PLACES A RECALL ON THESE THROTTLE BODIES, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
