NHTSA Complaint #10485889 — 2010 FORD FUSION

WE WERE DRIVING BACK FROM SHOPPING, HAD THE CRUISE SET AT 65 MPH. THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND NOTICE THE WRENCH LIGHT HAD COME ON. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND I NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. WE WERE CONTEMPLATING WHO WE COULD CALL AT SUCH A LATE HOUR. I DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND SEE IF WOULD RESTART, IT IN FACT DID AND THE ENGINE SEEM TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY. WE CONTINUED TO OUR DESTINATION WITH OUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS REMAINED IN THE DRIVEWAY SINCE THE INCIDENT. THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE, WE BOUGHT IT USED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT HAD 29,700 MILES ON IT AND HAD NO ISSUES REPORTED TO CAR FAX. IT WAS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE AND THAT WAS A RENTAL CAR FROM INITIAL SALE OF CAR IN HAWAII. *TR
