NHTSA Complaint #10520469 — 2010 FORD FUSION

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I FELT A SHUDDER AND REALIZED I WAS LOSING FORWARD MOMENTUM. RPMS DROPPED AND THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. A WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. ONLY COASTING, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. CAR HAD A VERY SHAKY IDLE, LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 MIN, THEN TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. CAR TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO TURN BACK ON, BUT ONCE IT WAS BACK ON IT SEEMED FINE. WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FIVE DAYS AFTER FIRST INCIDENT, SAME EVEN OCCURRED AGAIN, WITH TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SEEMING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME. NO ELECTRICAL, BRAKING, OR POWER-STEERING POWER WAS LOST. *TR
