I have owned my ford fusion sel v6 since june of 2009. In may of 2011 my AC went out within minutes of being used. I had stopped at my house for a minute in between errands and the AC worked when I turned the car off. When I got back in to leave again the AC would not work. A few weeks after that, my driver side inside door handle broke and I am no longer able to open the door from the inside.
I was on the thruway when the car started to stall a green wrench light went on. I pulled over and shut the car off then I stared the car it was fine. The car had 24,000 miles on it. When the car had 33,110 on it I was on the thruway it seemed to stall and lose power. I limped home. I called ford they said I have to bring it in but the green light must be on. To test it. The cars green light came on the car started to stall and lose power so I drove it to the ford dealership. The car lost power it will go 21 MPH.
