Ford Fusion Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Feb 19, 2014
Reported on Feb 19, 2014
| WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING FASTER AND FASTER. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. NEXT LIGHT, THE SAME THING. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THEY REPLACED IT. (RECALL?) WORKED OK UNTIL 3/27/2014 AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. GLAD I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. GOING BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, AS I CONSIDER THIS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. | |
