TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SOME TIME. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHICH WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
THE CAR IS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD, MILEAGE IS 1700. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAD DIED. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANELS LIGHT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR CAN BE RESTARTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY BOTH TIMES WHEN THE CAR JUST DIED. I KNOW FORD HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE FIESTA. THEY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. I AM TAKING IT IN ON WEDNESDAY. I AM HOPEFUL THEY WILL BE HONEST AND FIX THE VEHICLE.
FRIDAY DECEMBER 16, 2016 - 2016 FORD FUSION HYBRID, 16,000 MILES - WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET SUDDENLY THE "STOP VEHICLE NOW" WARNING DISPLAYED ON MY DASH. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE SLOW DOWN AND WAS IN LIMP MODE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE CURB AND STOP. I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE MANUAL ONLY PROVIDED A VAGUE EXPLANATION (MAY BE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE,) AND WAITED, I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME NORMALLY. NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. DRIVING IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY.
