Consumer Description
I OWN A 2011 FORD FUSION. ON 8/16/2013, ON CITY STREETS, TRAVELING LESS THAN 20 MPH, THE CAR ENGINE CUT OFF, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STEER, BUT ALL OF MY DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS A/C AND RADIO. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, SHE BEGAN TO SHUDDER/BALK LIKE I WAS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. ON 9/2/2013, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT TWO SEPARATE TIMES, EXCEPT DURING THE FIRST I WAS DRIVING ON A TOLL ROAD AT 55 MPH. THE SECOND INCIDENT I WAS AGAIN TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON AN ACCESS RAMP THAT LEADS ONTO THE INTERSTATE. IN ALL 3 INCIDENTS, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I DID HAVE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE. I THEN SHUT OFF A/C, RADIO AND IGNITION; WAITED A SHORT TIME AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EACH TIME SHE HESITATED EVER SO SLIGHTLY BEFORE STARTING AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE ON TO MY DESTINATION. *JB
