NHTSA Complaint #11132103 — 2016 FORD FUSION

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, 12 MPH. HUSBAND MADE A LEFT TURN FROM ALMOST A STOPPING POSITION. HE PROCEEDED ABOUT ONE FOOT AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AFTER IT SPUTTERED EXTREMELY AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE WHEN HE HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A WRENCH AND MESSAGE TO CHECK THE MANUAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO JERRY'S FORD ALEXANDRIA AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED. COST WAS $610. THEY DISCOUNTED THE PRICE TO $510 AND THREW IN A FREE OIL CHANGE AND DETAILING WHICH WAS AWESOME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2016 FORD FUSIONS AND WONDERED WHY FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE OR AT LEAST INFORM OWNERS TO BEWARE. . CAR HAS ABOUT 46,800 MILES ON IT AS I BOUGHT IT JUNE 2015.
