NHTSA Complaint #10532549 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE FELT MY CAR JERK LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT, IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT AT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 FUSIONS. SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND A TON OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL HOWEVER MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO MAKE IT GOOD. SO I'M STUCK PAYING THE REPAIR BILL FOR SOMETHING EVIDENTIALLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND DANGEROUS. *TR
