Consumer Description

THIS IS A 2011 FORD FIESTA WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES AND EXIT THE FREEWAY, THE CAR LOST POWER AND IT LITERALLY FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE IN USE. SINCE (I ASSUME) THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT GO ON, I NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME. I WAS FORTUNATE AND TRAFFIC THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ALLOWED ME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE NEVER SHUT DOWN, AND WHILE SITTING ON THE BERM AND IDLING, THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN RESPONDED PROPERLY. I PUSHED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUTTON AND PROCEEDED WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NOT USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TO KLABAN FORD SERVICE IN KENT OHIO THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT. IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP ON MAY 22 AND I DO NOT YET KNOW THE RESULT. I WAS TOLD THEY WILL TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR
