Consumer Description

2010 FORD FUSION: WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED. TACHOMETER DROPPED TO 1000 RPMS AND FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 500 - 1000 RPMS. WRENCH LIGHT (THROTTLE / TRANSMISSION) ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR COASTED TO A CRAWL AT LESS THAN 5MPH. THE CAR'S THROTTLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I BECAME A SERIOUS REAR-END HAZARD IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR RAN FINE. I AM JUST BARELY UNDER WARRANTY (AND JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 1 WEEK AGO) SO I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER - THEY "CHECKED" THE CAR AND FOUND "NOTHING WRONG" WITH THEIR COMPUTER SCAN AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ERROR CODE - SO THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THE DAY AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, TWICE. THIS TIME IT DID IT AFTER A COLD START IN THE MORNING AND AGAIN WHEN I LEFT WORK IN THE AFTERNOON - AGAIN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT OFF ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR. BRINGING THE CAR IN TOMORROW AGAIN...WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WHAT A SAFETY RISK - MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE CAR! *TR
