Kinder/Gentler NHTSA...to Ford

Post by brian »

May 28, 2010: Apparently NHTSA is being kinder/gentler to Ford as compared to their mishandling of the Toyota mess. Instead of creating another Toyota type panic, they post up the following:
Consumer Advisory: Owners of MY 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan Warned of Possible Stuck Accelerator Pedals
it even includes common sense recommendations:
  • Actions Consumers Can Take If They Cannot Stop Their Vehicles
    Regardless of the cause, if a consumer is experiencing unintended acceleration in their vehicle, they should take the following steps:

    -- Brake firmly and steadily – do not pump the brake pedal.
    -- Shift the transmission into Neutral (familiarize yourself with where Neutral is).
    -- Steer to a safe location.
    -- Shut the engine off.
    -- Call your dealer or repair shop to pick up the vehicle. Do not drive it.
