Consumer Description

FORD FUSION 2010 HAS DEFECTIVE ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM/COMPUTER IDENTIFYING THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE NON-FUNCTIONAL PART CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SELF AND OTHERS. AT 60 MPH FREEWAY SPEED THE CAR GOES INTO AN INSTANT "LOW RPM MODE", CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF FOOT PEDAL CONTROL AND RPM IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 800. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS AN UNGUIDED MISSILE LOOKING TO STRIKE SOMETHING. THE POWER STEERING IS NON EXISTENT. MY CAR DID THIS ON 8-19-2013 WITH ONLY 12303 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY SENSING CIRCUITRY BEING DEFECTIVE. IT IS ONLY A LITTLE MORE TIME UNTIL THIS GETS SOMEONE KILLED. AFTER STOPPING WITH A DEAD ENGINE, STARTING AGAIN RESULTS IN VERY ROUGH IDLING AND NO MORE THAN 800 RPM, WHICH IS INCAPABLE OF MOVING THE CAR. SHUTOFF THE IGNITION, CHECK AND HAVE GOOD OIL AND TRANSMISSION AND COOLING LEVELS. STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL, UNTIL ONE BLOCK LATER AT A STOP LIGHT......SAME THING AGAIN. IF FORD DOES NOT DO A RECALL ON THIS, THEY WILL HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON THE RELATIVES OF THE DEAD PEOPLE'S LAWSUITS! *TR
