NHTSA Complaint #10464556 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS TRAVELING UPHILL ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS FAR AS I COULD TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WENT A LITTLE FURTHER AND STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. I WAS ON A BLIND CURVE ON A ROAD THAT IS NARROW AND TRAVELED FASTER THAN IT SHOULD BE FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE CAR TO AN AREA WHERE THE ROAD OPENS UP A LITTLE. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND SOMEONE CHOSE TO VANDALIZE IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO WAS A LITTLE RUDE WHEN I TALKED TO THEM. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING COVERED BY FORD. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PART AND LABOR COST AND MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE VANDALIZATION. WITH SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR
