NHTSA Complaint #10461267 — 2011 FORD FUSION

ON 6/7/12 WAS DRIVING CAR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, 30 SECONDS LATER, ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PURGE VALVE AND FUEL FILLER PIPE HAD TO BE REPLACED. ON 6/11/12, PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED OVER $500 DOLLARS FOR THE SERVICE. 20 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING ON I45 NORTH AT 65 MPH. SAME THING HAPPENED, CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, HAD TO "COAST" TO THE SHOULDER AND AVOID ANY VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE, AGAIN, WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THE FACT THAT I WAS CHARGED OVER $500 TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AND FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN IS ABSURD. *TR
