“I didn’t know or the incident with the car until I purchased and started noticed The way it drives. It do have a problem with acceleration while shifting gears, and also loses power with A/c turned on.”

“THE CAR NEVER GAVE ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SMOKING, NOT EVEN OIL USAGE FOR THAT MATTER. I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY TIME I GOT GAS BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT 3 WEEKS PRIOR. THEN WAS DRIVING TO INTERSTATE TO WORK WHEN I HEAR JT START CLICKING IMMEDIATELY GOT A OIL LIGHT THEN DIES AND WAS STUCK ON INTERSTATE CARS ZOOMOMG BY AT 80 IF I WERE IN THE CENTER LANE I WOULD BE DEAD.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP, THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT DETACHED WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO BE INOPERABLE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS ALSO NOT CHARGING DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS FLAWED BECAUSE THE IDLER PULLEY BOLT FRACTURED INTERNALLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SEIZE. ALSO, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE COASTED OFF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE IDLER PULLEY FOUR TIMES AND THE TENSION PULLEY ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLT FRAYED AT THE END SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE SAME OEM PARTS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL REMEDY TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE PULLEY WELL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CONCERNING THE BELT AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.”

“DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, CAR SUDDENLY SHUDDERS, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED ONTO THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP AND DROVE AT REDUCED SPEED UNTIL ABLE TO STOP. SHUT OFF CAR, THEN TURNED IGNITION KEY TO CHECK DIAGNOSTICS. ALL GOOD? STARTED CAR, DROVE MAYBE 50 FT WHEN WRENCH AND EMISSIONS LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE. GOT OFF OF RAMP AND SHUT OFF CAR FOR 5 MIN. RESTARTED CAR, EMISSIONS LIGHT ON ONLY, BUT CAR WAS DRIVE-ABLE DROVE 20 MILES @ 60-65MPH WITH NO PROBLEM UNTIL I GOT HOME. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS -5F. NEXT MORNING CHECKED CAR WITH OBD2 DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. A 'P2110' CODE APPEARED, SIGNIFYING TAC/PCM ISSSUE/S. AFTER CHECKING EARLIER NHTSA RECORDS, THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES! MY WIFE USES THE SAME CAR, AND IF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME HAPPENED TO HER, MOST LIKELY THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL!!! IS SOMEONE DYING HAVE TO BE WHAT WILL GET A RECALL? PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU.”
