Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST WEEK MY 2012 FORD FUSION DECELERATED, IDLED ROUGHLY, LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING AND THE WRENCH DUMMY LIGHT CAME ON. ALL 4 TIMES IT OCCURRED BELOW 30 MPH IN CLEAR CONDITIONS. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE AND LUCKILY I WAS IN AREAS WHERE I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY. ONCE PULLED OVER I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND RESUME DRIVING. I HAVE BROUGHT IN MY CAR TWICE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR MESSAGES ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO DO MORE DIAGNOSTICS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND ITS RELIABILITY.
