NHTSA Complaint #10526124 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS AT A LEFT TURN LIGHT AND WHEN I DROVE THROUGH THE LIGHT TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME OUT. WHEN I WAS HITTING THE GAS IT DIDN'T GO SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A WHILE AND TURNED IT ON AND IT STARTED UP FINE. SO I STARTED DRIVING A LITTLE MORE AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE AND I TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME SINCE I LIVED CLOSE BY. THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNED OFF BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I GOT UP THAT MORNING AND DROVE IT TO A NEIGHBORHOOD SHOP AND THEY SAID THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH IT WAS A SECURITY ERROR AND THAT IT WAS FINE. I PICKED IT UP FROM THE SHOP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET DOWN THE STREET WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF. RADIO AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE CAR ITSELF CUT OFF AND THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOWED UP. I WAS ABLE TO AGAIN DRIVE IT HOME. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY SAID IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT 600 - 800 DOLLARS TO FIX. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING TO WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE AND THIS IS A THREE YEAR OLD CAR. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR BOTH TIMES. *TR
