Description of the problem | I was driving at about 40 mph down a very busy main street in okemos, mi when my car jumped and a wrench light came on in the dashboard then my car decelerated rapidly and wouldn't move. My car stalled in the middle of this busy street... I was luckily able to coast into the nearest parking lot before it hit 0. When i arrived to the dealership i was informed that this was a throttle body failure. I have been reading that this is a common problem in ford cars from 2010 and i think this is extremely dangerous. Ordinarily at this time i would have been driving 70+ on the highway home from work it just so happened (luckily) that i needed to stop at the mall on my way home. I shudder to imagine what would have happened on the busy highway going 70 when my car stalled... It was scary enough at 40 mph. I think this is a safety issue in the 2010 ford fusion that should be addressed. This could be deadly. |
