NHTSA Complaint #11119768 — 2017 FORD FUSION

RECEIVED THE VEHICLE WITH APPROX 64 MILES ON IT IN AUG 17. AT 70 MILES, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, WENT TO PULL THROUGH AND THE ENGINE MADE A FUNNY SOUND AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE REVED HIGH BEFORE THERE WAS MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. CAR HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO LIMP IT TO A PARKING LOT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. NOW A YEAR LATER (13 AUG 18) WITH APPROX 4K MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT AND NO POWER. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UP A HILL AT 10 MPH AND THE ENGINE "CLUNKED", LOST POWER. WAITING ON A TOW TO THE DEALER FOR "REPAIR". THANKFULLY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE WITH 70 MILES AND AGAIN AT 4K MILES. I HOPE FORD TAKES NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM. I'M GLAD THESE EVENTS HAPPENED IN CITY CONDITIONS AND NOT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.
