Fusion

  • miles
Friends and I rented a 2013 Ford Fusion from hertz while on a trip last weekend. The computer display that controls the ac and other functions shut down midway through the trip. The car ran well enough to drive, so we continued driving it for the remainder of the trip. I was seated behind the driver. I noticed a slight headache earlier in the trip after being in the car. After the ac/heat functions shut down, I got a major headache plus nausea. The other back seat passenger also got a headache, thought less severe. Only after I was out of the car and in fresh air did the headache dissipate slowly. I suspect that, without positive air pressure in the car's cabin, that exhaust gases are drawn into the car while it's moving. This same phenomenon occurred to me about 14 years ago. I am concerned that modern cars draw exhaust into the cars--obviously dangerous.

First time was yesterday morning. Husband was pulling out of a parking spot and car stalled. He didn't mention it, thinking it was just a fluke. Yesterday evening I went to the store and when pulling out of parking spot car started missing as if it were not getting fuel and then stalled. When I told husband about it, he explained that the same thing happened to him earlier in the day. Very scary feeling. Luckily both times were at slow speeds.

I was driving the car and it stopped running. My husband and I were returning from an appointment at the heart doctor and he had to push the car off to the side of the road. It was towed to the dealer where they kept it for two days. Three days after I got it back it did the same thing when I was by myself. Took back to the dealer where they kept it for four days and said it was fixed. I had it back for another two days and it happened again. The dealer has it now and I have no faith that it will be fixed right. This is a very dangerous situation and I do not feel safe at all driving my new car.
