Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Sept 12, 2013
Reported on Sept 12, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING 35MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE LURCHED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND DECELERATED ON ITS OWN TO 2MPH. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE GAS OR LET OFF ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE STAYED AT 2MPH. THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE ENGINE STAYED MID-WAY BETWEEN HOT AND COLD, BUT THE RPM'S NEVER GOT ABOVE 1 & 1/2. TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS GOING OUT. I WAS SO THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH (OR TURNING INTO TRAFFIC) WHEN THE DECELERATION SUDDENLY OCCURRED. I WAS POWERLESS. *TR | |
