Description of the problem | Car:2013 ford focus ev. Noticed "stop safely now" light on at stop light just after exiting freeway off winchester rd in temecula, ca. Was able to accelerate to get onto wincheter road traveling west going down hill and nervously coasted down hill noticing the steering becoming difficult. Thankfully the left turn light was green so i was able to coast thru the intersection and get on jefferson road. I attempted to accelerate, however, the car was unresponsive. I immediately pulled into the first available parking lot off of jefferson road - pollo loco parking lot and turned vehicle off. Call husband to come get me. He turned vehicle on without incident and drove it home with out issue. Working with dealer for next steps. Call fritts ford as i talked to daniel in service and he reported that another focus ev owner just reported teh same issue and was on the way to the dealership on saturday, 21. Sept. This problem is perhaps much bigger than we think?! Fyi: dealership = fritts ford, riverside, ca car purchased on sunday, 15. Sept. 2013. Owed the car for 6 days. |
