NHTSA Complaint #10533152 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE TOLLWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO CONGESTION. MY CAR MADE A LUNGE, LIKE A HARD DOWNSHIFT AND WAS LEFT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AS INDICATED BY THE TACHOMETER AND POWER STEERING, HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I TURNED ON THE FLASHERS AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I LET THE CAR SET FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING. UPON RESTART THE CAR RAN FINE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I HAD A SECOND OCCURRENCE JUST TODAY (8/1/2013). I NOW HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT AND HAVE READ THE CODE - P2112. THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I CALLED MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSION. *TR
