NHTSA Complaint #10513787 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2013 ON INTERSTATE 4 IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55-60 MPH AND MY 2010 FORD FUSION STARTED TO STALL AND SPUTTER. THIS IS AN EXTREMLY BUSY INTERSTATE AS IT RUNS THROUGH DOWNTOWN, ORLANDO IS THE MAIN ROUTE TO WALT DISNEY WORLD AND TAMPA, FL. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THROUGH 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT BACK UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN LAST YEAR AND HAD IT REPAIRED COSTING ME AROUND 800.00 WHICH I DID NOT HAVE AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS FINE AND NOW HERE I AM A YEAR LATER WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM, THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRENTY AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I WAS LUCKY, THOUSANDS OF CARS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED TRAVEL THIS INTERSTATE. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AGAINST FOR TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AGAIN. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FOUND THAT FOR SOME REASON IT IS INEVITABLE TO HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE CAN GET THIS TAKE CARE OF. *TR
