NHTSA Complaint #10564309 — 2010 FORD FUSION

IN A NUT SHELL THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY IT KEPT DYING OUT EVERY TIME I WOULD MASH ON THE ACCELERATOR.WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD A SCANNER PUT ON THE VEHICLE AND A NUMBER OF CODES CAME BACK POINTING TO THE THROTTLE ACCELERATOR CONTROL WHEN LOOKING FOR THE PART IT CAME BACK AS THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY. THEN COME TO FIND OUT THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, THEN IT COULD NTO BE ORDERED FROM ANY RETAILER, WENT TO THE DEALER ONE DAY TO GET THE PART AND IT WAS PURCHASEABLE, WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY TO FIND IT WAS A RECALL ON THAT PART WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL HONORED AND THEY GAVE ME THIS SPILL ABOUT THE COST OF A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, SAYING IT HAD TO BE DONE BEFORE THEY COULD KNOW FOR SURE IF IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEN LATER THAT DAY THEY CALL BACK SAYING IT WAS SOME KIND OF AIR HOSE THAT A RAT HAD CHEWED THROUGH. SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF HOORAH TO ME. TELL ME WHAT DO YOU THINK. *TR
