Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Aug 14, 2013
Reported on Aug 14, 2013
| MOST RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION AROUND 25 MPH, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF, AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. MY RPM'S DROPPED AND MY WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT APPEARED FINE. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THIS CAR IS A BRAND NEW 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 68,000 MILES. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM/EXPENSE AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED. SIDE NOTE: I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT IT. THE OTHER PROBLEM RELATED TO TRANSMISSION REVVING THAT OCCURRED WHEN DECELERATING AROUND 25-40 MPH OR BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY COMPLETED COMPUTER RESETS AND RAN OTHER TESTS. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. WE ESCALATED TO THE BBB AND WAS AWARDED A FORD FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER INSPECTION AND HAD A VEHICLE DATA RECORDER INSTALLED. THE ISSUES I DESCRIBED COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. *TR | |
