NHTSA Complaint #10618456 — 2012 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING MY NEW FORD FUSION, ONLY 5 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID WHAT'S THE ISSUE IT STARTED DIDN'T IT? THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN MAY AND JULY OF 2014. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WAS ISSUED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO SO BECAUSE NO CODE SHOWS UP WHEN I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN AFTER EACH EPISODE. THIS IS A SAFELY ISSUE AND A KNOWN ISSUE. WHY NHTSA ALLOWED THEM TO GET AWAY WITH NOT DOING A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. IT IS UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER THAT A CODE DOESN'T SHOW UP. WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE COMPUTERS? IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS HAPPENING SO IT SHOULD GET REPLACED. THANKFULLY I WASN'T DRIVING OVER 35 WHEN THIS OCCURRED, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT TIME IF I'M ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60? WHAT WILL IT TAKE - PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED TO GET A TRUE RECALL? *TR
