Description of the problem | For the last couple of weeks i have been having an issue with my 3 year old ford fusion (2010) started stalling out at random times for no apparent reason. When this happened the first time i called my local dealer and asked him what may be wrong with my vehicle and he said that there was a common issue with the throttle body, which causes the car to stall occasionally and that it would cost me around $350 for the part alone. I believe this to a major safety problem because one time this happened to me i was traveling on the highway at 60mph with a semi-truck behind me and the trucker came very close to hitting me. I also had this happen to me at an intersection while taking off from a red light, turning left. I have done some online research about this issue and it does seem to be a problem amongst many ford fusion owners in cars that are only 2 or 3 years old. If this is such a common occurrence that ford dealers know that this issue exists then i ask why hasn't this part been recalled? |
