NHTSA Complaint #10525627 — 2010 FORD FUSION

DRIVING ON 295 N BOUND AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ENGINE JUST STALLED...THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I TRIED GIVING IT GAS BUT I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO SO I HAD TO FIGHT THE TRAFFIC TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT IT OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AND ON THE SECOND TRY IT DID BUT FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON 2 CYLINDERS.SO I LET IT SPUTTER ALONG THE SHOULDER TO THE EXIT WHERE I SHUT IT OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED IT AGAIN, IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A ADVANCED AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY PLUGGED IN THE TESTER AND GOT A THROTTLE ACTUATOR ERROR CODE.I GOT IT STARTED AND IT DROVE OK TILL I GOT HOME BUT HAVEN'T USED IT YET. THIS CAR DID HAVE A PROBLEM A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH BECAUSE IT JUST RAN ROUGH AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. NOW I'M READING ABOUT OTHER FUSIONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
