NHTSA Complaint #10533298 — 2011 FORD FUSION

I WAS BRAKING BECAUSE SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING RIGHT. WHEN THEY TURNED AND I LET OFF THE BRAKE, I GAVE IT GAS TO GO. I DIDN'T GO AFTER FLOORING IT, AND THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND JERKING LIKE CRAZY. IT WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THANKS BE TO GOD THAT I WAS RIGHT BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN WHEN YOUR THROTTLE GOES COMPLETELY OUT. THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THAT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ ON LINE WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FORD FUSION SE 3.0L V6. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MATTER THAT FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT. THIS IS A SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY/HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER SUBMITTED SOMETHING TO YOU BEFORE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! NO ONE NEEDS TO GET HURT. WHEN YOUR THROTTLE GOES OUT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IT, IT'S A POTENTIAL DEADLY CONSEQUENCE. *TR
