NHTSA Complaint #10493084 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND THE LOST ALL POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE LANES SO IT PROVED DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE RIGHT BREAK DOWN LANE. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND RETURN TO THE HIGHWAY. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT A HALF A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE AGAIN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN THAT DAY. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT LATER THAT AFTERNOON AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE CAR WAS 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT FEEL THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST IN DECEMBER AND EACH TIME I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE. *TR
