VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY CAR SHUTTERED A BIT AS I SLOWED DOWN. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE BEFORE RESTARTING. RESTARTED SLUGGISHLY. BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AND NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE AGAIN, TURNED CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. MADE IT INTO A LOCAL BRAKE/MUFFLER SHOP WHERE THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR ME. ERROR CODE P2112 CAME OVER WITH A DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR BEING STUCK CLOSED. THEY INFORMED ME THEY'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. IT MADE SENSE TO ME BECAUSE, LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT, I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING A LAGGING THROTTLE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE MORE SINCE THIS INITIAL OCCURRENCE. *JB

TIRES
IN FEB 2008 I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD FUSION. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WITH MICHELIN TIRES (225/50R17). THREE OF THE FOUR TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THE FIRST WAS JULY 19, 2009, THE SECOND WAS JULY 2, 2010 AND THE THIRD WAS AUGUST 4, 2010. I CONTACTED MICHELIN WHO GAVE ME THE RUN-AROUND BUT NO SOLUTION. I TOOK THE LAST TIRE TO A MICHELIN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MICHELIN WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING BECAUSE AN AUTHORIZED DEALER DIDN'T REPLACE THE TIRE. HOW CAN I GO AROUND FINDING A PARTICULAR DEALER WHEN I'M SETTING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH A FLAT TIRE? I WENT TO THE FIRST PLACE I FOUND WHO COULD REPLACE THE TIRE. EACH TIME I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN THE FAILURE HAPPENED, THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS EVER OUT OF STATE SO IT'S NOT LIKE BEING AT HOME WHERE YOU CAN LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES OR SURF THE NET AND FIND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THAT I CONTACTED AFTER THE 3RD FAILURE SAID IT WAS DUE TO IMPACT FROM POTHOLES. DUH! IT'S SUMMERTIME. POTHOLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT MICHELIN (AND REPRESENTATIVES) HAVE FAILED ME AS A CONSUMER. THEY CLAIM TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO - STAND BEHIND BECAUSE THEY SURE DON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND HANDLE THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT I HAD 4 DEFECTIVE TIRES EITHER MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT OR DRY ROT OR SOMETHING. I HAVE NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF DRIVING (40+ YRS) HAVE I REPLACED A TIRE FOR A BUBBLE IN IT AND NOW 3 IN LESS THAN A YEAR????? NO MORE MICHELIN FOR ME. *TR
