NHTSA Complaint #10533975 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING MY MORNING COMMUTE DOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THERE WAS A CLUNKING TYPE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THEN THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE JUST FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT MORNING AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE ALL DAY I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND JUST RESET THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS PROBABLY A MALFUNCTION WITH THE COMPUTER THAT SENT A SIGNAL TO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THAT COST ME $103 TO JUST RESET THE COMPUTER. THEN 4 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS TO ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I DID THE SAME THING BY PUTTING IT IN PARK, SHUTTING IF OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO CHECK THE NEXT MORNING BEINGS IT WAS AFTER HOURS AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. ON THE WAY TO DROPPING IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT LAME EXCUSE THEY COME UP WITH THIS TIME. *TR
