“The car never gave any indication of a problem. No check engine light, smoking, not even oil usage for that matter. I checked the oil every time I got gas because I bought it 3 weeks prior. Then was driving to interstate to work when I hear jt start clicking immediately got a oil light then dies and was stuck on interstate cars zoomomg by at 80 if I were in the center lane I would be dead.”

“Upon driving the speed became erratic and the car slowed down very quickly requiring me to pullover quickly for fear of a rear end collision. At that time I saw the wrench light on my dash. I feel that is a hazard that should be corrected under the warranty or as a recall from Ford company. The wait for parts is almost a month, Ford should give a loaner car as I am afraid to drive my car in traffic. Thank you”

“Throttle body I was sitting at a stop light and when the light went green I pressed the accelerator and my steering column began to shake and my car would not accelerate past 20 miles per hour. I was terrified because all the other cars took off and I could barely move. The car shook like it was going to fall apart. After barely coasting into a nearby Ford dealership the informed me that it was the throttle body. I replaced the part and it cost me $600.00.”

“Our Ford Fusion suddenly lost power and starting acting in an unpredictable fashion, while traveling on rte 95 north in the passing lane. We narrowly avoided a rear end collision with the vehicle behind us, as well as other vehicles as we worked to get over to the safety of the breakdown lane. An orange wrench light was in an on state and the car was running very rough. After checking all gauges and fluids, I restarted the car and found it to be in a normal state again, with no wrench light visible. We turned around and headed home. …”
