Description of the problem | Very dangerous safety hazard with my 2014 ford fusion. I have been having issues with my car stalling on me. Typically it happens when i am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the rpm needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. At all times i am driving at low speeds, but numerous times i was either driving into a busy street or it stalled in an intersection where i or other people could have been seriously injured. This has happened about 10 times in the last 2 weeks, but it is very random. Some days will go by without a hitch and other days it will happen 2 or 3 times. Most of the time when it happens, it happens again right after. So i will put the car in park, completely shut it off, and turn it back on, it will drive for like 5-10ft and then do it again. I took it to the dealership, and they said they could not find an issue. The did a few test drives and let it sit and run for awhile, and the car didn't stall. There is no engine light on, so they said they can not diagnose the problem, unless they see it for themselves. This is very concerning to me as i am scared to drive, knowing that it could stall and i could get in an accident. I also drive for a ride sharing company, and it is too risky for me to pick up passengers knowing something could happen, and i would be responsible. This issue needs to be addressed right away as i know i am not the only one having this problem, which means there a a number of faulty cars on the road that can just stall out at any moment and cause fatal accidents. I am scared to drive this car! This has been an on-going issue that has gradually gotten worse, and thankfully i have managed to stay accident free. (i have attached other complaints) |
