Description of the problem | I pulled out of my works parking lot and got 50 ft. Car began to slow down, shake/ vibrate violently, and emergency wrench lite lit up. While driving and while in park, it shook. I went to pull off to the side of the rode safely. Thank good ness i was on a downhill and could coast to a side road (but still not safe where i was). Once i was pulled off major road, i put the car in park. I turned the car off and was too afraid to do anything else. I called for a tow. 24 hours later, i was told my car's computer code said it had a bad throttle body. It was replaced with a brand new, revised throttle body - under warranty which ends in 37 days. It happens to many ford fusions. It's time for ford to own up and send out the recall notices before someone gets hurt/killed. |
