I did not receive this letter. I think that this…

I have multiple items that have come about all of a sudden over the last month or two for no apparent reason. 1.) fuel fill inlet message has appeared on the dash, along with the check engine light. 2.) driver side door handle just stopped working. 3.) the air conditioner has intermittently stopped working. Cool air comes and goes, and from the outside of the car it seems the fan stays on all the time.

Throttle body failure. A known high failure item which ford has ignored. Car went into limp mode while on the freeway at 75 mph, able to maintain 40 mph with barricades preventing getting to a safe location. This is a safety issue! At a minimum ford should notify all owners this is an issue very likely to happen and should be inspected by ford. The service writer knew exactly what it was when i dropped the car off,…

My 2010 ford fusion suddenly lost power when accelerating to get on the highway. It was during a busy time and was very dangerous. The car went to limp mode. I took the car to the dealer and they told me it was not covered by the extended warranty i have. They did acknowledge that this was a common issue, so much that the tech knew the part number off the top of his head.
