NHTSA Complaint #10524985 — 2010 FORD FUSION

2010 FORD FUSION: GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOSING POWER, NO ACCELERATION AND DOWN TO 55 AT WHICH TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT DIED. I LET IT SIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT - STARTED FINE. THE FORD GARAGE PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT I WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON THERE WAS NO MEMORY TO SHOW WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD - BUT WAS TOLD AGAIN - NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC DOES NOT SHOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER MY OWN RESEARCH ON THE WEB I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT - BUT MY LOCAL GARAGE DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT WITHOUT KNOWING FOR SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE - MAYBE THE NEXT TIME I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY/ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STALLS. *TR
