Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Aug 08, 2013
Reported on Aug 08, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING 35-40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE SLOWED, STARTED SHAKING, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. I PULLED OVER, TURNED MY CAR OFF, WAITED FOR A MOMENT THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT IT SEEMED FINE SO I DECIDED TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE TOWARD HOME. 10 MINUTES LATER, AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING, SLOWED TO LIMP MODE AND MY GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. I CONTINUED IN LIMP MODE TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DROVE IN THE PARKING LOT TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM - ONCE EVEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE USED A CODE SCANNER, BUT NO CODES WERE BEING SET. WE SUSPECT THE THROTTLE BODY BUT LOCAL DEALER HAS NONE AND WE R TOLD IT IS DEEP BACK ORDERED . NOT ONLY DO I NOW HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR | |
