NHTSA Complaint #10516074 — 2012 FORD FUSION

I HAD STOPPED TO THE GAS ISLAND TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRES. AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE SPOT I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR WOULD NOT TAKE ANY GAS. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN BUT HAD TO RACE THE ENGINE TO GET IT TO CATCH. LATER THE SAME EVENING I AGAIN HAD BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, CUT THE CAR OFF AND BEGIN AGAIN. I KNOW THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH BACKING UP. SO I DECIDED NOT TO BACK UP AGAIN. HOWEVER, EARLY THE NEXT MORNING BRINGING MY HUSBAND TO WORK IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN AS I WAS BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SO THEY REPLACED IT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED FORD VEHICLES BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THIS EARLY. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THANK GOD IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
