NHTSA Complaint #10546367 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A RED LIGHT. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CHECKED BOTH WAYS & PROCEEDED TO MAKE MY TURN (WHEN MAKING A TURN ON RED, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY MAKE THE TURN, OBVIOUSLY). MY CAR LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER AND RESPONSE TO THE ENGINE. MY MPH DROPPED DRASTICALLY LOW AND CAR STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER BACK AND FOURTH. I WAS LEFT LIKE A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. TWO CARS SWERVED OUT OF THEIR WAY, ALMOST HITTING ME IN THE PROCESS (AS THIS WAS A 4 LANE ROAD/HIGHWAY). I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME ALSO. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, WRENCH ICON CLEARED AND CAR DROVE AS NORMAL. HOWEVER, 3.5 MILES LATER CAR DOES THE SAME EXACT THING. THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND EXPLAINED IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY 3YR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED WHICH VOIDS MY WARRANTY OUT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT EVEN HIT 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE YET! NO RECALLS ARE BEING ISSUED. NO HELP/ASSISTANCE IS BEING GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. FORD ESTIMATED ME AT AROUND $450-500 FOR REPLACEMENT! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP. I AM EXTREMELY HARD-WORKING AND THOUGHT I BOUGHT A RELIABLE VEHICLE (AT LEAST FOR A WHILE)...DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE A $500 REPAIR BEFORE 36K MILES EVEN HITS! IT IS 100% A SAFETY HAZARD, NO MATTER EVEN IF FORD CLAIMS IT IS NOT ... "THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO IDLE STILL AND BE ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE ROAD SAFELY IN THE EVENT THIS OCCURS" ..... QUITE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE WHEN THE CAR IS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. PLEASE HELP. *TR
