NHTSA Complaint #10438114 — 2010 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 69 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. I FIRST NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THEN SAW THE ANTI THEFT LIGHT ILLUMINATE. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT GOT NOTHING. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE PASSING LANE, INTO THE RIGHT LANE, AND EVENTUALLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY TRAGEDY. ONCE ALONG THE ROADSIDE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO SHUT OFF MODE. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, CAR STARTED UP FINE. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, HIS CODE READER FOUND NOTHING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT IS NOW AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT MY GUESS IS THEY WILL FIND NOTHING. I AM ON THE ROAD AT LEAST 4 OUT OF 5 DAYS A WEEK ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. I CANNOT AFFORD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. *TR
