NHTSA Complaint #10482887 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I LEFT MY HOUSE TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS INTO MY TRIP MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, MID-DRIVING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH AND IT JUST DIED. THE BATTERY LIGHT, OIL DRIP CONTAINER AND THE BRIGHT ORANGE WRENCH CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE CAR. MY A/C WENT WARM AND MY GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKED. I MANAGED TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN I HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE TO COME GET ME SO I COULD BE AT MY SONS SCHOOL ON TIME. HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK ALL THE WAY AND WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS AND DANGERS WITH DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT RANDOMLY DECIDES TO SHUT ITSELF OFF WHEN YOUR DRIVING FOR THIS TO BE ALLOWED TO GO ON. I AM WORRIED TO DEATH THAT I MIGHT GET RUN OVER/HIT FROM BEHIND THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT MY CHILDREN AREN'T INJURED AS A RESULT. *TR
