NHTSA Complaint #10512058 — 2011 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN CAR WOULD CUT OFF COMPLETELY GOING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH. MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MOTHERS DAY DRIVING 35 MPH CAR SHUTTERED WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE RPM WOULD GO VERY HIGH BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF VERY BUSY ROAD PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IT WOULD TAKE LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO FLIP OVER AND START. I HAD MY FIANCE AND 7 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR AND ACCORDING TO MY FIANCE THE CAR DID THE SAME THING TO HIM A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYDAY TO AND FROM WORK AT 70 MPH AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. AT 40K MILES THERE SHOULD BE NO ISSUES AND THIS IS 5TH TIME THE CAR HAS EITHER SHUTTERED LIKE THIS OR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. ALSO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, JUST REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE AND NOW THE ISSUE IS WITH THE RIGHT SIDE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING FIXED FOR $500 AND APPARENTLY IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOT US AS THIS SEEMS LIKE AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. *TR
