Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 05, 2013
Reported on May 05, 2013
| DOING APPROX. 55 MPH WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN FINE AFTER THAT BUT I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER WHO SAID IT NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT AT A SIGNIFICANT COST TO ME. SINCE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT OTHER VEHICLES WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH DECELERATION. I FEEL THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR | |
