NHTSA Complaint #10984905 — 2012 FORD FUSION

DRIVING ON 6 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. GOT PUSHED TO THE DEALER THAT WAS A BLOCK AWAY. THE DEALER SAID THEY DID THEIR $129 TEST - NO FAULTS AND MY CAR WAS READY TO DRIVE HOME. I WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE UNTIL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS ANOTHER $129 TEST THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS TEST DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING BUT WHEN THE TECH WAS DRIVING IT STALLED ON HIM. THEY REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE ( FOR FREE, WASN'T CHARGED FOR EITHER TEST) BUT HE HOPED THAT THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON ANOTHER 6 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT WAS ROUGH STARTING BUT GOT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 24 HOURS AND THEY ARE "SCRATCHING" THEIR HEADS TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG.
