| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | OUR 2010 FORD FUSION LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A MULTI-LANE SUPER-HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA. OUR CAR WAS IN ONE OF THE LEFT LANES AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP ACROSS SEVERAL LANES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A HELPFUL TRUCK DRIVER. CARS WERE RACING AROUND US ON BOTH SIDES UNTIL WE COULD FLAG DOWN ASSISTANCE. THE EXPERIENCE WAS HORRIFYING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A STUCK THROTTLE COVER. A REPAIR WAS MADE UNDER WARRANTY, AND WE WERE TOLD THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR |
| 2007 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING USING CRUISE CONTROL TODAY GOING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY 2007 FORD FUSION. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT THE CAR JOLT. I PRESSED THE GAS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT IN THE SHAPE OF A WRENCH WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR WORKED JUST FINE. I LOOKED UP THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LIGHT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND IT SAID IT WAS RELATED TO A FAULT IN THE POWERTRAIN OR THROTTLE. I SAW WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2010 MODELS OF THE FUSION. I JUST HAD TO REPORT THAT IT HAPPENED ON MY 2007 MODEL AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE WRECKED OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED OF MY CAR AT THE TIME. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED AND A RECALL ISSUED. I WAS REALLY SCARED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I WILL NOT BE USING CRUISE CONTROL UNTIL I AM CONFIDENT THAT MY CAR IS COMPLETELY FIXED. *TR |
