1 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2019

Bought used Ford Fusion on 9/16/19 from fred bean Cadillac- Buick in doyalstown PA. After about driving it for 950 miles on 10/04/19 an yellow wrench icon appeared on the dash board and the car seemed to lose power. The car was parked and the car was turned off, once the car was restarted the wrench icon disappeared. Made appointment with dealer where the car was purchased from at 7:30am on 10/05/19 to have the car looked at. Was told no error code was found, but later that same day while driving home around 2:00pm the wrench icon reappeared and the loss of power happened turning off from rt 332 (yardley-newton rd speed 55mph) on to stony hill rd speed 40mph. Once I go to a red light at stony hill and yardley langhorne rd intersection I turned car off, then restarted car and wrench icon disappeared.

2 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2013

My fiance was driving on I-26 to work 40 miles away. The car started jerking and stalling and losing power a semi blew the horn at her and swerved around her. She pulled over on the side of the road and cut the car off. When she started it back up and ran for a few more miles at a reduced speed but it kept doing the same thing. I took it to Ford dealership and they said that it was the throttle body and that they were common for this. Its so common that throttle bodies are on backorder. The only place you can get them is a Ford dealership for around $450 installed. I investigated on the internet and found out that it is a common problem but Ford refuses to do a recall. What is it going to take; for someone to die before they do one. If that semi had not been watching, my fiance may have been the one.

3 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2013

While driving on I-85 south approximately 50-60 mph in moderately heavy traffic, between exits 27 and 26, the car sounded like it dropped out of gear while accelerating. I was able to merge to the shoulder of the highway. The car continued decelerating and the "wrench light" appeared. The car would not accelerate at all. When stopped (at the ramp for exit 26), the car rattled and idled very hard and was shaking. The battery light appeared, then the oil lamp appeared and the car shut off completely. I was towed an hour later to keith hawthorne Ford in belmont. On Monday, July 29, 2013, the service manager, stated that the throttle body had failed; when they hooked-up the car to the testing machine, it did not show any codes. They replaced the failed throttle body, I paid for repairs and have the failed throttle body in my possession.
