NHTSA Complaint #10515360 — 2011 FORD FUSION

VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED THE FIRST 7 TIMES, BUT AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING, IT GOES AWAY AND CAR DRIVES LIKE NORMAL. TODAY WHILE DRIVING IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 60MPH. BOTH THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER A RESTART THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE BARELY LIMPED THE REST OF THE 5 MILES TO MY HOUSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL NEARLY CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. CURRENTLY WAITING ON DEALERSHIP TO COME BACK WITH A QUOTE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL NOTICE AND WARRANTY THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE JUST WEIGHING THE COST OF A LAWSUIT DUE TO FATALITY VS. THE COST OF WARRANTING THE MALFUNCTIONING PART. PAYING A FEW MILLION TO A FAMILY IS CHEAPER THAN PAYING TO FIX ~725,000 VEHICLES. WORK WITH THE THROTTLE BODY SUPPLIER, GET YOUR QA/QC UNDER CONTROL, AND FIX THE ISSUE GUYS. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
