Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Aug 31, 2013
Reported on Aug 31, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING DOING 60-65 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I JUST LOST POWER. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE ENGINE AND RADIO WERE STILL RUNNING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH THAT LOOKED LIKE A WRENCH. I COASTED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE OR SO AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE FREEWAY AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN (STILL IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE), THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND, SON AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO UTAH FROM IDAHO. IT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF BECAUSE IT RESET ITSELF. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND I NEED A RELIABLE CAR MAYBE THE FUSION ISN'T AS RELIABLE AS THEY CLAIM IT IS. *JB | |
