NHTSA Complaint #10532093 — 2011 FORD FUSION

DRIVING AT 60MPH VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER BUT REMAINED RUNNING. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND NEAR A EXIT. I COASTED DOWN THE EXIT AND TURNED INTO FIRST STREET I COULD GET TO. TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT NO POWER. TURNED CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. PRECEDED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD I HAD JUST EXITED, NOT EVEN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT DID IT AGAIN. IT DID IT TO ME 7 MORE TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING MY WAY HOME, STOPPED AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD RUN A DIAGNOSTICS BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME. APPT FOR MONDAY. BUT AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS SOUNDS LIKE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. THIS COULD HAD BEEN EXTREMELY BAD SITUATION HAD I HAD BEEN ON I-35 AS I LIVE IN THE AREA OF I-35 THAT IS THE DEADLIEST STRETCH. NHTSA YOU NEED TO FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. ITS PREVENTABLE AND I SAY YOU AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN SOMEONE DOES DIE. AND ANOTHER ISSUE I RECENTLY HAD TO GET FIXED WAS THE PURGE VALVE AND FUEL CANISTER WHICH AFTER READING SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AS WELL. COME ON FORD DO THE RIGHT THING. IS EVEN ONE LIFE WORTH LOSING? *TR
