NHTSA Complaint #10508632 — 2007 FORD FUSION

IN 2010 THE PCM IN OUR 2007 FORD FUSION WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,300. THREE YEARS LATER WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD BEGIN TO LIGHT UP WHICH CAUSED HER TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY SHE NOTICED THE BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASH OTHERWISE MY FAMILY COULD'VE BEEN HURT PRETTY BAD IN A CAR ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT DAYS LATER THAT ONCE AGAIN THE PCM HAD DIED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $3,000. FORD STATES THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2007 WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED BEFORE SEVERAL DEATHS OCCUR DUE TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THE COST OF THE PAIR IS RIDICULOUS ALONG WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT'S REQUIRED TO WAIT ON THE PART, WHICH IS TWO WEEKS. I'M ASKING THAT NHTSA TO PLEASE RECALL FORD'S VEHICLES FOR THIS RECURRING ISSUE AND GOING FORWARD REQUIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO AT MINIMUM CHECK THE COILS ON THEIR VEHICLES AROUND 75,000 MILES FOR POTENTIAL PCM ISSUES, IT COULD SAVE SEVERAL LIVES. *TR
