Ford Fusion Power Train Safety Report | Nov 19, 2013
Reported on Nov 19, 2013
| THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE 6TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM FORD. WHILE DRIVING, THE RPMS WILL RANDOMLY DIP DRIVE, THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN EITHER TO AN IDLE, STALL, OR COMPLETELY DOWN. IT WILL TURN BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES AFTER POWERING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND HAS NO LIGHTS ON UPON RESTART. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT IS INTERMITTENT AND THE CODES ARE NOT BEING SAVED TO THE UNIT PER FORD. BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY STATE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE IT CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS CREATES A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHUT DOWNS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AND OFF NOW FOR MONTHS IN WHICH I HAVE HAD TO BE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE ALMOST MONTHLY AND STILL GET NO RESOLUTION. IN ADDITION, THIS APPEARS TO OCCUR IN MOST VEHICLES COMING NEAR THEIR 60K MILE WARRANTY EXPIRATION IN WHICH FORD WILL NOT COVER THE ISSUE IF IT REPLICATES AFTER THIS TIME. *TR | |
