NHTSA Complaint #10823918 — 2006 FORD FUSION

IN 2013 I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF SPEED/POWER ON MY 2006 FORD FUSION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A SHOPPING CENTER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THE WRENCH LIGHT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT WHERE LIT ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP THE LIGHTS WERE OFF ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE. I DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER INCIDENT UNTIL 2014. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE WRENCH AND TRACTION LIGHTS. I TOOK IT AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE P CODE INDICATING THE THROTTLE. I DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME AND LOOKED UP THE P CODE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PART. IT WAS ALSO BEING SAID THAT THIS PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY (FROM TIME OF PURCHASE) ON THE PART. AGAIN, AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY IT WAS RUNNING FINE, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON. IT RAN FINE UNTIL JUNE 2015. AT THIS POINT I HAD HAD ENOUGH AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. MIND YOU, MY CAR ONLY HAS 51K ORIGINAL MILES. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND DROPPED IT OFF ON JUNE 24TH, 2015. I WAS CALLED THAT DAY AND TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT BE COVERING THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE MY VIN# WAS NOT ONE LISTED. I QUESTIONED THIS BECAUSE THE INFORMATION I FOUND REGARDING THE WARRANTY FOR THE PART DIDN'T MENTION SPECIFIC VINS ONLY. THE SERVICE PERSON STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT ONLY IF I PAID FOR THE THROTTLE BODY PART AND LABOR. I PICKED THE CAR UP TODAY, JUNE 25TH, 2015 AND PAID A SHOCKING 788.94 FOR THIS PART AND LABOR AND THE 39.99 OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION SPECIAL. THIS IS INSANE. I WAS NOT IN A CRASH OR WRECK HOWEVER IT DID SURGE AND DROP SPEED TO 20 MILES AN HOUR WITH CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMING ON BREAKS. WHEN WILL FORD DECIDE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND COVER THE COST OF THIS PART/REPAIR, WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED?
