NHTSA Complaint #10547116 — 2011 FORD FUSION

THIS IS THE 3RD REPORT THAT I AM FILING IN REGARD TO MY 2011 FORD FUSION. THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WHETHER GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC LESS THAN 30MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER TO THE THROTTLE. THE WRENCH AND EMISSIONS LIGHTS BOTH GO ON, THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, WHICH I OFTEN NEED TO DO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET TO A BREAKDOWN LANE OR OTHER SAFE STOPPING POINT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CROSS 4 LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WITH TURNING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO UNSAFELY PASS ME ON THE RIGHT. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I WILL BE FINDING BOTH FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR ALL INJURIES AND DAMAGES DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION'S DECISION NOT ENFORCE A RECALL. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THE ISSUE UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE THE ERROR IS CLEARED. I HAVE TAKEN NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM AND FORD STILL REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. *TR
