Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Oct 24, 2013
Reported on Oct 24, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR HAD VIOLENTLY RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS CAUSED ME TO STOP RATHER QUICKLY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, WAITED 3 MINUTES, AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 0.5 MILES BACK TO MY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY BODY FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON THING WITH FORD FUSIONS. TOTAL BILL WAS $598. *TR | |
