NHTSA Complaint #10520086 — 2010 FORD FUSION

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH A WRENCH LIGHT. THE CAR NO LONGER ACCELERATES AND STARTS STOPPING. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED IT STARTS SHAKING. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH THE LAST ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER DRIVING. SHE AS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. SHE MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS IT WAS DYING AND SHAKING. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE PART SO IT CAN'T BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. IT SEEMS IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
