NHTSA Complaint #10532157 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE TODAY ON A 4 LANE ROAD AND WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN TO 1 MPH AND STAYED THERE. THANKFULLY THE CAR I TURNED IN FRONT OF HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID ME. I TRAVELED TWO BLOCKS HOME AS THE CAR ONLY ALLOWED ME TO GO 1 MPH WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT ON AND WITH A SLIGHTLY JERKY RIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY GOT ME IN TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I ASSUMED BAD GAS OR A FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED, BUT ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS ODD THAT A THREE YEAR OLD CAR NEEDED ANY WORK. THEY TROUBLESHOOTER AND CLEANED THE FUEL LINES AND TOOK OUT THE MOISTURE THEY THOUGHT WAS CAUSING THIS. THE MECHANIC THEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST RUN IN THE LOCAL PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON HIM AND ONCE HE RESTARTED THE CAR RAN FINE. HE SAID NO CODES CAME UP BUT WITH INVESTIGATING ONLINE HE FOUND IT TO BE THE FUEL THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND HE WOULD CALL ME FOR AN ESTIMATE AND THAT I MIGHT WANT TO JOIN THE COMPLAINT ISSUE ONLINE. I WILL RECEIVE MY ESTIMATE ON MONDAY. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING FOR A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COMPANIES IGNORING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND NOT TACKLING THE ISSUE BEFORE A DEATH ENSUES. IS IT REALLY WORTH SOMEONE BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED OVER SAVING YOUR NAME? FUNNY PART IS THAT I CHOOSE TO GO BACK TO AN AMERICAN MADE CAR AFTER WANTING TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERY AND FELLOW FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WORK FOR FORD. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE FORD IF THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS AND IF MY CAR IS $400.00 OR MORE IN REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. PLEASE HELP. *TR
