NHTSA Complaint #10513534 — 2010 FORD FUSION

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED HAZARD LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION AND CAR STARTED. PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I FELT THAT MY LIFE WAS ENDANGERED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
