What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle would decelerate to 25 MPH. The failure occurred during acceleration and cruising. After the failure occurred, the check engine light illuminated. The consumer pulled over and restarted the vehicle; however, it would not accelerate occasionally. The vehicle was towed twice and the dealer replaced the gas tank and related components; however, the failure continued. The dealer was unable to further diagnose or repair the failure.
The factory ignition coils began to short against the interior walls of the engine head above the spark plugs. As they shorted it burn the power control module (PCM). With no PCM my spark plugs failed to light, causing my engine become flooded with gasoline, which washed away the lubricants on my cylinder and heads causing all of my cylinders and heads to become damaged. As this happened before I was able to pull over my engine shut off.
