Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Nov 14, 2013
Reported on Nov 14, 2013
| I WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE ONTO TO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, DROPPED SPEED TO LESS THAN 10MPH, NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR, CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND BEING A FEMALE ALONE AT NIGHT WITH A CAR ACTING UP IS NOT COMFORTABLE. I PULLED OVER AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT AFTER THE DRASTIC DECELERATION, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTED IT. IT DROVE FINE ABOUT 2 MINUTES BEFORE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I WAS TRYING TO JUST GET HOME. THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I REACHED MY HOME WHICH WAS 10 MINUTES AWAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK UP MY CHILD AND AM THANKFUL THAT HE WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THIS TIME. IS IT GONNA TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE FORD RECALLS ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND FIXES THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DIE HARD FORD SUPPORTER DRIVING NO OTHER MANUFACTURER BUT AFTER THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BEING PUT IN JEOPARDY I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING ANOTHER MANUFACTURER AND MOVE ON FROM FORD. THE ISSUE IS DETERMINED TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR | |
