My car has had problems with a mystery battery drain for two years. Since March of 2019 it has been stalling at stop lights seems to happen when the rpm needle drops. In the winter of 2018 I had issues twice where I tried accelerating and the mph needle wouldn't move past 20 it did eventually speed up with me not pressing the gas pedal I also had a hard time breaking when this happened.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Ford fusion. The contact stated that while parked, a strong odor of fuel was noticed. The contact received a notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v793000(fuel system, gasoline) however, the part for the recall was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Jo.
Vehicle stalled with out warning while in heavu traffic nearly causing an accident. Dealer said it was a throttle body.
Just for the record-the milage and speed of the incident is probably not accurate as I cannot remember exactly when the issue happened nor the milage at that time. The vehicle is less than 3 years old and it started happeneing in 2013. Vehicle has always been sluggish, but since it was a 4 cylinder and I was used to a 6 cylinder, I just thought this was the difference in the 2 engine types. Vehicle started shaking when speeds of 50-60mph was reached in 2013. Took to dealer where I was told it needed new ball joints and throttle body. Got ball joints fixed but didn't have the $500-$600 dollars extra to spend to get throttle body fixed at that time. A family member offered to fix throttle body if I got the part for him. Went to 2 different autoparts stores to get the part and neither of them had it and the 2nd one told us that it was actually a recalled item on my vehicle to call the dealer. Called the dealer and was told it was not a recall item on my vehicle, and it would cost me $402 just for the part (the whole throttle body). Looked at this website and looking through the other's complaints about this vehilce, it seems they are all having throttle body issues too so I wonder why this isn't being looked into and considered a recall. For a car that isn't even 3 years old, I have had some major things go out on it and have been told by other mechanics that the issues I have had with this vehilce should not be happening on a car that is under 3 years old.
