NHTSA Complaint #10895463 — 2016 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY 2016 FORD FUSION I HAD JUST PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2016 CAM TO A JERKY STALL-OUT HEADING TOWARDS A STOP LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE FUSION AND BARLEY MAKE IT INTO A SMALL PARKING LOT. THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE TOW-TRUCK, BECAUSE OBLIVIOUSLY THE 2016 FUSION PURCHASED IN JAN WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A "THROTTLE BODY" INTERNAL FAILURE AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND RE-CALIBRATED THE NEW ONE... DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION-LINE! SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY! SO MY QUESTION IS... IS THE NEW THROTTLE BODY THEY PLACED IN MY FUSION ACTUALLY FIXING THE [XXX] PROBLEM OR ARE THEY KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE [XXX] ROAD? IS THERE A REDESIGNED THROTTLE BODY OR DID THEY STICK THE SAME TYPE WITH NO MODIFICATIONS BACK INTO MY FUSION? *I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT* I DID RECEIVE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT WHEN A CAR HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES... SHOULD I ALREADY HAVE THAT HUGE OF A PROBLEM? ANSWER NO! IF SOMETHING TO THIS EFFECT HAPPENS AGAIN I MAY SEE WHAT THE TRADE IN PRICE ON A 2016 FORD FUSION IS!
