NHTSA Complaint #10653900 — 2006 FORD FUSION

MY 2006 FORD FUSION WITH A 3.0 V6 AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING SAME ISSUES OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS: - LOSES POWER AT CITY, HIGHWAY AND PARKING LOT SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING .... AT LEAST A HALF-OF-DOZEN TIMES - ENGINE STILL IDLES/RUNS ROUGH, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 15-20 MPH - WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR COMES ON, (SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT TOO). WHEN I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WILL OPERATE FINE MOST THE TIMES. IT HAS DONE IT REPEATEDLY A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE WRENCH LIGHT INDICATOR WILL GO OFF AFTER RESTART, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN GO OUT. - FORD CLAIMS THAT THE 2006 FUSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM #13N03 WHICH COVERS NEWER FUSIONS AND OTHER FORD MODELS. FORD ADVISE TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS OF THE REPAIR EXPENSE AT A FUTURE DATE, IF FORD SHOULD EVER ISSUE A CSP PROGRAM FOR THE 2006 FUSION. - I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND RURAL HIGHWAYS WITHOUT SHOULDERS TO PULL OVER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED ASAP. - I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN FORD PRODUCTS. - FORD.....DUE THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL! *TR
