NHTSA Complaint #10552474 — 2010 FORD FUSION

THE FUSION WILL STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WHEN DRIVING THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE GAS PEDAL BECOMES USELESS AND IT IS LEFT TO COAST DOWN THE ROAD. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS PULL OVER, IF POSSIBLE AND PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. THEN THE CAR SHAKES LIKE CRAZY LIKE THE ENGINE WILL EXPLODE IF YOU DON'T SHUT IF OFF FAST ENOUGH. THERE ENTIRE TIME THE TACHOMETER IS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN AND GAS PEDAL IS USELESS. PUTTING IT IN PARK DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR. ONCE SHUT OFF, YOU CAN WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS WILL USUALLY START DECENT BUT SOMETIMES WILL BE HARD TO START. THEN IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND 2 X TODAY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS NO CHUGGING OR WARNING, IT WILL JUST STOP LETTING YOU USE THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I FOUND OUT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND DANGEROUS IF YOU DON'T AS YOU CAN NOT ALWAYS SIMPLY PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART YOUR CAR. NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY PREGNANT WIFE. FIX THE PROBLEM FORD. *TR
