NHTSA Complaint #10407034 — 2006 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE 70,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND IT STARTED WITH ABOUT 63,000 MILES. I WAS JUST RECENTLY AT A 2 WAY STOP WITH THE NON STOP BEING A HIGHWAY OF 64 MILES PER HOUSE IN SOUTH DAKOTA. I STOPPED AND SEEN NO CARS COMING AND STARTING GOING ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TRYING TO GET IT TO GO AND FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS I GOT IT TO RUN AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING OR I WOULD HAD TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND RUN TO THE SIDE BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START GOING. I DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY TO GO INTO A REPAIR SHOP AND SPEND 5000 DOLLARS ON A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN I KNOW THAT IS WHAT IT IS. IT OCCURS PROBABLY ONCE A DAY. *TR
