Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Aug 15, 2013
Reported on Aug 15, 2013
| MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO 30 MPH. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT FORD IS HAVING A HARD TIME PRODUCING ENOUGH THROTTLE BODIES. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THIS PARTICULAR DEALER HAD A CAR IN THE SHOP THAT HAD WAITED 1 MONTH FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ONE MINUTE LATER AND MY SON WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF HE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY COULD NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN 30 MPH. IN ADDITION, SINCE THIS EVENT THE FORD SYNC AND BLUETOOTH FEATURES NO LONGER WORK. *TR | |
