NHTSA Complaint #11133233 — 2016 FORD FUSION

ON MONDAY OCTOBER 1,2018 AT 8 AM I DROVE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND GAS STATION. MY CAR DROVE FINE. BY 11:00 AM I'M LEAVING HOME HEADING TO WORK AND WHILE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVING 25 MPH MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION, BEGAN TO JERK, SHAKE REALLY BAD, AND SHUT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON. IT SHOOK AGAIN AND SHUT OFF. I MANAGED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND SLOW ROLL INTO A PARKING SPACE. I WAITED 5 MINS STARTED THE CAR AND SLOWLY DROVE IT BACK HOME. WHEN PULLING INTO MY SPACE. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT PRESS DOWN. I COULD NOT BRAKE!!!! THE CAR SHUT OFF. WHILE HAVING IT INSPECTED, I STARTED IT AND NOW WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. I DRIVE THE TURNPIKE AT 80 MPH TO GET TO WORK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND I COULDN'T BRAKE. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE. WHAT IF I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME AND WE GOT IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS??? THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON APRIL 7, 2018. I'VE ONLY HAD IT 6 MONTHS AND HAD THE MAINTENANCE DONE ON IT IN JUNE. I JUST NOW NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I ONLY HAVE 66,611 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 49,000 MILES.
