Description of the problem | I previously sent a complaint because my car kept stalling, wrench light would come on, but when i turned car off then turned on, it would run, but then they couldn't get the codes. Based on my internet research, looks like 2010 fusions are having this problem between 30,000 and 50,000 and it is always the throttle body that needs to be replaced. The dealership would not replace the throttle body because the codes were not coming up. I just wanted to give you an update, i purchased my own code reader and after my car died in the middle of the road (very dangerous) three more times, was finally able to get the code myself. I brought it to the dealership and with the code they were finally able to look it up..... And it was the throttle body.... Just like i told them since every 2010 ford fusion between this mileage is have the same problem. Since this is obviously a defect on this car and is dangerous because car stalls in middle of traffic, it needs to be recalled! I don't want anyone to go through what i went through, and i would love to get reimbursed for the money i had to pay on fords defect. Thank you |
