NHTSA Complaint #10538650 — 2010 FORD FUSION

ON 8/17/13 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, MY CAR WENT INTO (LIMP MODE) WOULD NO LONG ACCELERATE, WE SAFELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED FINE, THE NEXT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED 9/1/13, WHILE ACCELERATING UP A FREEWAY RAMP, ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS, AGAIN THE CAR RESTARTED FINE. THIRD OCCURRENCE 9/2/13 WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON THE STREET. IT SEEMS IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ON "BACK ORDER FOR THE PART," I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS PART "GOES OUT ALL THE TIME." I AM TOLD IT CAN BE UP TO 1 MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN! MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. LUCKILY, THE PAST THREE OCCURRENCES I WAS ABLE TO PULL SAFELY OVER, BUT I CAN NOT RISK, DRIVING IT ANY LONGER. I AM STUCK.*JB
