NHTSA Complaint #10513904 — 2010 FORD FUSION

AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARD POWER AND ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. I HAD TO PULL INTO THE GRASSY MEDIAN OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND AND MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE FOR A FEW SECONDS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO THE CLOSEST EXIT. AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2010 FUSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT THE PART TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY BE BETWEEN 2 WEEKS AND 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE FIFTH TIME THAT THIS TYPE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
