What owners wrote
I took my 2011 ford fusion to the ford dealership in harlingen tx. They verified the vehicle was up for recall since it has not been repaired. The mechanics took the car in and repaired the car after 7 days of dropping it off. On day 7 they called me that it needed a tie rod which I purchased and delivered first hand. 2 hours later they called me that I had to pay $1,300 because the car was not up for recall and that if I didn't pay they would be putting my broken part back on and releasing the car to me.
This happened sometime back, however it could be related to your current investigations. When I had approx 1900 miles on the car and while I was going around 70 MPH, the car went into limp mode and I lost all throttle control. After nearly getting hit from behind from a truck (cause I lost speed), I managed to pull over to safety and saw I had no throttle response. I turned off the car, and then turned it back on to find it out it wouldn't start.
