NHTSA Complaint #10534741 — 2011 FORD FUSION

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND LOST ALL POWER AND ACCELERATION. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CRANK CAR IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CRANK. TURNED CAR OFF AND TRUED AGAIN. IT STARTED AND ALLOWED ME TO REACH MY DESTINATION, WHICH WAS A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREA AND IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. OF COURSE IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT TO THESE CARS AND HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE DIED DUE TO THE LOSS OF EVERYTHING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET CAR OFF THE ROAD AND IT STOPPED EXTREMELY FAST AND SUDDEN. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HAD NO OTHER CHOICE TO BUT GET IT REPAIRED WHERE I WAS. *TR
