NHTSA Complaint #10630660 — 2008 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO PASS 20 MPH. I HADN'T PREVIOUS HAD ANY PROBLEMS FROM MY VEHICLE. THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW COMPUTER AND MY CURRENT COMPUTER WAS BURNING OUT MY IGNITION COILS. IT TURNED OUT TO BE ABOUT ~$1800 WORTH OF WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE COMMON AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER AND IGNITION COILS SOON IF IT'S NOT ALREADY IN THE WORKS. OF COURSE, THE ONLY RECALL I NOTICED FOR THIS VEHICLE IS THE FLOOR MATS. THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED. *TR
