NHTSA Complaint #10556610 — 2010 FORD FUSION

YESTERDAY, 12-18-13 WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR THROTTLE STOPPED RESPONDING AND WENT INTO ROUGH IDLE. DID SAME THING 4 TIMES AND I NARROWLY ESCAPED BEING REAR ENDED. HAD TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF ENGINE. AFTER LETTING CAR SET FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES CAR RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT UNPREDICTABLE INCIDENT. TODAY 12-19-13 ON WAY TO DEALERSHIP PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED. ALMOST BEING KILLED 4 TIMES IN 24 HRS. SUGGESTS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM AS SOON AS I MENTIONED IT INDICATING THIS WAS NOT FIRST TIME. DEALERSHIP FIXED ISSUE EVEN BEFORE DISCUSSING PRICE AS THEY SAID I COULD NOT DRIVE CAR IF THIS PART WAS NOT REPLACED (AGAIN INDICATING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF). ACCORDING TO NHTSA ACTION # PE13003 THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION SINCE FEB. 21, 2013. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT LEADS TO FATALITIES. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON THIS DATE AND WAS GIVEN VERY LITTLE ASSISTANCE ON THE ISSUE OTHER THAN THEY WOULD REPORT IT FOR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION. FEEL THAT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
