NHTSA Complaint #10467656 — 2010 FORD FUSION

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE SPEED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND RESTART IT. THE NEXT DAY THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I READ THE CODE AND IT WAS P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK SHUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE APPARENTLY SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS PART ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED EMISSIONS WARRANTY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS TURNING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR
