NHTSA Complaint #11005471 — 2010 FORD FUSION

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DE-ACTIVATES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE WRENCH ICON COMES ON AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN VERY ROUGH, SURGING, THEN SLOWING DOWN, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CANNOT BE RE-ENGAGED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALER 18 MONTHS AGO, AND THE CONDITION THAT EXISTS NOW WAS THE SAME THAT EXISTED PRIOR TO THE THROTTLE BODY BEING REPLACED 18 MONTHS AGO. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 68,000 MILES. FUEL ECONOMY IS 20% LOWER THAN NORMAL. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO ATTEMPT TO PASS ON 2-LANE ROADS, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER. THIS STARTED OCCURRING OCCASIONALLY IN MID-JUNE, 2017, AND NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THE CAR. CODE THAT WAS STORED WAS P2119, "THROTTLE BODY RANGE."
