NHTSA Complaint #10549010 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND AFTER ACCELERATING THROUGH A LIGHT, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND MY "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND THE CAR BEGAN JUMPING BACK AND FORTH AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHT WENT AWAY BRIEFLY. AFTER PULLING ONTO A SIDE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, MY RPM GAUGE BEGAN FLUCTUATING AND I WAS NOT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL.IT ALSO BEGAN HARD SHIFTING AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO DROP. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A COMPUTER ISSUE, BUT IT IS CLEARLY NOT SAFE. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN AT RISK. I RESEARCHED THIS WEEKEND AND CLEARLY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T A RECALL. HOPEFULLY FORD TAKES CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
