Description of the problem | I was driving south on i-95 in northern florida doing 73 mph.. My vehicle suddenly lost all power and would not respond to pressure on the gas pedal. The highway was under construction at the time and i had to make an emergency maneuver between safety cones to pull over to the shoulder. The dashboard displayed two warnings: a 'wrench' figure and the engine trouble light. I restarted the vehicle and tried to resume my journey. The same thing happened one minute later and i again had to make a desperate turn onto the shoulder. I had my vehicle towed to a ford dealer. After they checked the vehicle they told me the message that came up indicated the 'throttle body' needed replacement. The repair was not covered under their 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty! I have since found out this part has been very problematic for this make/model. I believe this part should be covered and a recall issued. This part failure at highway speed causing a total loss of power is very dangerous and put my life in danger. Please help me and other ford fusion owners. |
