What owners wrote
1. Came up to a red light and pressed my brake. Fusion immediately speeded into the intersection through the red light. Fusion acted like it was possessed. I was struck by oncoming traffic. Fusion was totaled. 2. Happened week earlier, was going to report it next oil change week away. 3. Nothing, car scrapped by insurance co.
I was driving down the road with cruise control set to 60 MPH when the wrench light came on and I had limited power. I then pulled to the side of the road and had to turn the car completely off. Restarted the car and everything was fine so I thought. It keeps happening. One of my friends told me that ford has been having this problem so I looked it up and sure enough there are many that has had this same problem. I am filling this out in hopes to not only get my vehicle fixed but to also save a life!
