Description of the problem | After driving over 50 miles, my car stalled and the wrench light came on. I pulled over and let it idle, but it ran rough. Once i turned it off and then back on, it ran okay. It stalled again later in that same trip. Then it stalled again twice on my way home. Luckily, i was on a non busy road with a shoulder. Then it seemed to run fine for a few days, but after driving over 50 miles, it happened again. I was nervous because once it stalled as i was turning onto a road without a shoulder. I was concerned that a car would come over the hill and hit me while i was turning it off and restarting it. When i took it to the dealer, i was told that the problem was with the throttle body. When they ordered the part, initially, i was told the part was on backorder and wouldn't be in until mid-august. Obviously, there is a major problem with this part when it takes so long to get the part. Totally unacceptable to wait that long for a part. Now today, my sister-in-law, who also has a 2010 fusion started having the same problem and she has a lot less miles on her car (about 40,000). Reading all of the issue others are having with this part on the internet, i feel that there should be a recall on this part and my replacement should be covered. |
