NHTSA Complaint #10525121 — 2010 FORD FUSION

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AT AROUND 50 MPH. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND MY ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE JUST HIGH RPM'S AND NO MOVEMENT. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE BUT ABOUT 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT DID IT AGAIN. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD GOT A BAD BATCH OF GAS. I HAD FILLED UP THAT MORNING. THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT AND I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 10,000 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC. NOW THE CAR WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 2-3 MILES BEFORE THE IT GOES INTO THE LIMITING MODE. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY ARE ON AT LEAST A WEEK BACK-ORDER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND OF THE FAULTY PART. *TR
