NHTSA Complaint #10935933 — 2013 FORD FUSION

BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO, FROM A COLD START IN EITHER A REVERSE OR FORWARD DIRECTION, MY CAR WOULD SLOWLY LOSE POWER AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS, STALL. THE ELECTRONICS STILL FUNCTION, HOWEVER THE CAR MUST BE PUT INTO PARK, TURNED OFF, THEN RESTARTED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR DID FIT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE "RECALL" GIVEN TO 2013 FUSIONS BASED ON ITS ASSEMBLY PLANT AND ASSEMBLY DATE. I VISITED MY DEALER, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP BECAUSE THERE "WAS NO CODE THROWN." INDEED, NO WRENCH OR ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS GIVEN AT THE TIME OF MY CAR STALLING. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED NEARLY A DOZEN TIMES - THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON DEC 10, 2016 - AND I EXPECT IT TO KEEP HAPPENING UNLESS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IS FIXED. BECAUSE THE DEALER BELIEVES THAT I DO NOT FIT WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS HOWEVER, I AM UNABLE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF.
