Consumer Description

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING THE IDLE. AS I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD I NOTICED MORE PUSHBACK AS I ACCELERATED THE IDOL AND MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND AND RETURNED HOME IN FEAR OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS QUOTED A STARTING $1,700 REPAIR FOR A HEAD GASKET REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I WAS SHOCKED HOW COMMON THIS REPAIR IS AND WAS IN DISBELIEF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED AFTER I SEARCHED NHTSA.GOV. AS A CONSUMER, I'D LIKE TO REPORT THE HEAD GASKET IN THE 2015 FORD FUSION 2.5L TO THE NHTSA FOR REVIEW AND RE-CALL CONSIDERATION.
