NHTSA Complaint #10543766 — 2010 FORD FUSION

10 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A SO CALLED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED CAR, ON OR ABOUT AUG 24TH I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY STREET AT N APPROX SPEED OF 40 MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. AFTER BEING IN THE SVC DEPT FOR 4 DAYS I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS FIXED AND CHARGED A $100 DEDUCTIBLE FOR NOTHING, AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALER I NOTICED MY RPMS ACTING UP AND BEFORE I DROVE OFF THE LOT I MADE IT AWARE TO SVC ADVISOR HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AFTER THE SVC PERFORMED ON MY CAR AND TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS ON A 8 LANE HWY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 65-70 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OFF ALL LANES AND WAS UNABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER IN A SECURE AREA. IT WAS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WAS IN EXTREME DANGER EXPECTING A DISASTER TO HAPPEN BEHIND ME. I STAYED IN MY CAR AND MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ARRIVED AND TOOK ME TO MY DEALER, A DAY LATER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT MY WARRANT DID NOT COVER IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600+ TO REPAIR, I ASKED THE ADVISOR TO NOT TOUCH THE CAR THAT I WOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY AS I FIND IT UNFAIR TO PAY SUCH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH FOR A SO CALLED CERTIFIED CAR I PURCHASED NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO. COME TO FIND OUT IM NOT ALONE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY FORD ASAP. *TR
