What 1,455 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford Fusion Energi

THE SHIFT BUSING CABLE BROKE WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE NOTHING WOULD WORK. THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO NEUTRAL. THERE ARE LOTS OF RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS SPECIFIC CAR , BUT MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS ONE OF THEM. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNER. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR.

FORD FUSION ENERGI, DID ITS LOW POWERED STATE AGAIN, THIS TIME ON THE FREE WAY, DROPPING RAPIDLY FROM 75MPH TO 22MPH AND BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT SPEED. THE DISPLAY SHOWED THE SAFETY FEATURES BECOMING DEACTIVATED. SOMETHING NEW THOUGH, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CONSOLE DIMMED AND WAS BARELY READABLE, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND I HOPE THEY WHERE WORKING, EITHER WAY I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION AND GOT THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THIS ABOUT 7TH TIME FORD WILL WORK ON THE VEHICLE, AND ANOTHER WEEK OR MORE WITHOUT A VEHICLE, WAITING FOR THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT. THESE FUSIONS ARE BECOMING THE NEW FORD PINTO. I REALLY HOPE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DIE, BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO RECALL THESE DEATH TRAPS.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAD ON PREVIOUS FORD FUSION. TIRES, STABILITY, WIPERS, RIPPED INTO I JUST BOUGHT TWO NEW TIRES AUGUST 2018. THE CAR IS UNDER 9,000. MILES! THE RED ONE PREVIOUS WAS 10,OOO, MILES WHEN I HAD TO TURN IN LEASE, AND PRESSURED BY A SALESMAN. PLUS THEY PUT ON EXTRA PACKAGES, AND WHEN I CALLED, I SAID TAKE IT OFF, ETC... THEY DID NOT! I HAD TROUBLE TURNING CAR AT TIMES(BOTH) THEY HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF TIRES AND OTHER THINGS. IT WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING. ALWAYS.

WHEN I WAS LEASING THIS VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM ASSAULT LIGHT STARTED COMING ON THEN PIWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. MY TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED. FORD DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT BECAUSE I WAS OVER THE LEASE MILEAGE. I WAS SENT HOME WITH THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND IN NEED OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO PAY THE 3.000 TO FIX IT BECAUSE I WAS RISKING MY LIFE. THE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO UNDER THE LEASE WARRANTY. BUT IT WAS A LEASE AND I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I LATER DISCOVERED 5 RECALLS FOR THE CAR. I WAS ONLY NOTIFIED OF TWO, STEERING AND TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS WHEN I NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR. . ACCIDENTS OCCURRED BEFORE THE STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. BOTH INVOLVED THE CAR MOVING WITHOUT ACCELERATING. IT WAS ON A TOWN STREET AT A LIGHT BOTH TIMES. I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER CAR BOTH TIMES AS WELL. MY CAR INSURANCE HAS GONE UP BECAUSE OF THESE ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE SEVERE BACK PAIN FROM DRIVING ALL THOSE MONTHS WITH NO POWER STEERING. BUT I HAD NO CHOICE AS A SINGLE MOTHER WORKING MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS REQUIRING DAILY TRAVEL. ALSO, I HAVE TO LOOK BACK FOR THE CORRECT DATE OF WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND WAS REFUSED REPAIRS BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC DEPARTMENT WHERE I LEASED IT, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES WERE CAR DEFECTS. THEREFORE, I ENTERED JANUARY OF 2017, SINCE IT WAS EITHER DURING 2016 OR BEGINNING OF 2017 THAT THESE ISSUES SURFACED. ALSO, ONE OF THESE ACCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR MOVED WITHOUT ACCELERATING DID MOT INVOLVE A POLICE REPORT, ONLY THE EXCHANGE OF INSURANCE INFORMATION. THE CAR SPEED IS NOT SAVING IN THE BOX BELOW. I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN ONE ACCIDENT AND WAS STOPPED COMPLETELY DURING ANOTHER. THIS IS MY BEST RECALL OF THE INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL. CAR LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN GOING UPHILL. SPEED DROPS DOWN TO 20 MPH. PUT NEW FUEL PUMP IN AND THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIGURED OUT. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ESPECIALLY AFTER GETTING GAS.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, 12 MPH. HUSBAND MADE A LEFT TURN FROM ALMOST A STOPPING POSITION. HE PROCEEDED ABOUT ONE FOOT AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AFTER IT SPUTTERED EXTREMELY AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE WHEN HE HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A WRENCH AND MESSAGE TO CHECK THE MANUAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO JERRY'S FORD ALEXANDRIA AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED. COST WAS $610. THEY DISCOUNTED THE PRICE TO $510 AND THREW IN A FREE OIL CHANGE AND DETAILING WHICH WAS AWESOME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2016 FORD FUSIONS AND WONDERED WHY FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE OR AT LEAST INFORM OWNERS TO BEWARE. . CAR HAS ABOUT 46,800 MILES ON IT AS I BOUGHT IT JUNE 2015.

WHEN DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON, ON THE FREEWAY, STREET, TURNING, ETC. AND THEN IT SAYS CHECK MANUAL. THE CAR STARTS SHAKING AND YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE. IN ORDER TO GET WHERE I NEED TO BE I HAVE TO PULL OVER CONSTANTLY AND RESTART THE CAR. I GOT IT CHECKED AT AUTO ZONE AND IT SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. OH AND BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ERROR POPS UP.

ON JULY 4TH 2018. I WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 74 MILES PER HOUR, MY VEHICLE DECELERATED ABRUPTLY DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR THEN DOWN TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. STEERING WHEEL BECOME TIGHT AND PRACTICALLY LOCKED INTO PLACE. THIS PORTION OF THE EVENT OCCURED WITHEN TWO SECONDS AT MOST. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CONSOLE SCREEN ON. THE LEFT SIDE OF ACCELEROMETER DISPLAYED MULTIPLE MESSAGES STATING MY SAFETY SYSTEMS WHERE NOT AVAILABLE, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UNAVAILABLE, FORWARD COLLUSION WARNING WAS UNAVAILABLE, REAR PARKING CAM UNAVAILABLE, PARKING SENSORS, UNAVAILABLE, HILL ASSISTANCE UNAVAILABLE, THESE WHERE THE ONES I READ WHILE TRYING TO MAKE AVOID A COLLISION BUT OTHER MESSAGES CONTINUED TO DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN. ALTOGETHER THE EVENT IN WHICH THE DECELERATION AND MESSAGES DISPLAYED ONE AFTER THE OTHER, IN RAPID SUCCESSION, TOOK PLACE INABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION OF MY VEHICLE, FROM 74MPH TO 20MPH FORCED A LARGE WHITE SUV. TO QUICKLY ADJUST LANES AND FORCE TWO OTHER VEHICLES TO MOVE AS WELL IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. ONE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST FORCED INTO A CONCRETE WALL BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP, THE CARS BEHIND HAD STARTED TO MANUVER AROUND AS WELL. I THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THEMSELVES QUICKLY AND CONTINUE ON. MY VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. THE EXIT WAS CLOSE, MY HAZARD LIGHTS APPEARED TO BE BE WORKING, AND VEHICLES WHERE PAYING ATTENTION TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREE WAY AND PARK IT AT A GAS STATION. WITH THE HOLIDAY, I COULDN'T FIND ANY OPEN REPAIR SHOPS. WHILE I WAITED FOR A RIDE I FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2016 FORD FUSION ENERGI. AFTER ABOUT 12000 MILES THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SENSE THEN I TOOK MINE TO GET FIXED, THE ISSUE AND FIX, WAS REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD WON'T RECALL!

THIS CAR IS THE SECOND FUSION HYBRID I HAVE. THE 2015 AND 2016 HYBRID TITANIUM HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I CHANGED ONE FOR THE OTHER IN HOPE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE GONE. ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE IN LOW SPEEDS, CIRCA 15MPH UP TO 30MPH ON UNLEVELED PAVEMENT WITH SETTS THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS TURN ON: ADVANCE TRAC, ABS, HILL ASSISTANT CONTROL. WHILST THOSE LIGHTS ARE ON, NONE OF THOSE FUNCTIONS WORKS. AS IT HAPPENED IN 2015 AND STILL HAPPENS IN MY 2016. IVE COMPLAINT TO FORD, BUT THEY NEVER GAVE ME A SOLUTION. I BELIEVE IT IS SOFTWARE PROBLEMS IN ABS MODULE. BUT NO UP TO DATE CALIBRATION FILES HAVE RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, SO I WILL INPUT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WITH THE OLDER CAR (2015). I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH 2009 TO 2011 FUSIONS. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE CLOSURE OF THOSE CASES NEITHER WHETHER THERE IS ANY OTHER INVESTIGATION GOING ON. I LIVE IN BRAZIL, BUT HERE, THE GOVERNMENT AND FORD DO NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS AS USA CARES. SO I HOPE THAT AN INVESTIGATION IN USA COULD OBLIGE FORD OF BRAZIL MAKE THE REPAIRS TO FUSIONS SOLD HERE AS WELL. I WILL INPUT AN ADDRESS OF RELATIVES WHO LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO. MY PHONE WILL BEGIN WITH +553

CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BARELY MADE IT TO SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY FULL OF CARS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND REALIZED THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO OWN 2016 FUSIONS AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT. IT SEEMS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT BUT AT EXPENSE OF THE OWNER DESPITE THOUSANDS OF CASES. HOW CAN THIS BE? PLEASE ADVISE.

WHILE UNDER NORMAL OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65-70MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON) THE CAR ALERTED ME TO AN ERROR ("SERVICE ADVANCETRAC") AND IMMEDIATELY DEACTIVATED: CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST, AND A COUPLE OTHER SYSTEMS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND BEGAN LOSING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF TWICE, THE ALERTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERSISTED THROUGH THE VEHICLE RESTARTS. I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE BACK INTO TRAFFIC; HOWEVER, THE MAXIMUM SPEED I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN WAS EXACTLY 50MPH AND I THINK THAT MAY HAVE ONLY BEEN UNDER BATTERY POWER PROVIDED BY THE HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM (I.E., ELECTRIC DRIVE), SINCE NO ENGINE NOISE WAS APPARENT WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PARK AT A GAS STATION AND CALL FORD ROAD SIDE SERVICE. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC ADAPTER ON THE CAR AND THE ADAPTOR REPORTED THE ERROR CODE OF: P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR "A" CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK CLOSED. THE SAME ERROR CODE WAS ALSO FOUND BY THE FORD DEALER, WHICH REPAIRED THE ERROR UNDER WARRANTY.

SIMILAR TO ISSUES OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL PLACING THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY NEAR PITTSBURGH (376 WEST, NEAR THE SPLIT OF 79 NORTH/SOUTH) WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THREE KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF 9 IN THE BACK SEAT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SEEMINGLY SHUT OFF OR "THROTTLED DOWN" AND BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE, LOSING MOST OF ITS FUNCTIONALITY. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH WE BARELY DID, WITH VEHICLES SPEEDING PAST AT 4 LANE HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I CONTACTED FORD AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION BUT WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SYSTEMIC ISSUE. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE ON MY OWN, THAT I LEARNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL BUT INSTEAD A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WHICH WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO ME, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, UNTIL AFTER WE NEARLY LOST OUR LIVES AND I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED (IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY HAPPENED) AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT FORD FAILS TO APPRECIATE IT. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 18,000 MILES ON IT. I OWN 2 FORD VEHICLES BUT WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER.

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE CRUISING AROUND 70 MPH ON FREEWAY. DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A WRENCH ICON AND INSTRUCTIONS TO "REFER TO MANUAL". ALL DISPLAYS, CLIMATE CONTROL, AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM STILL FUNCTIONAL. VEHICLE HAD MINIMAL ENGINE POWER, NOT ENOUGH TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN FREEWAY SPEED BUT ENOUGH TO EXIT FREEWAY AND PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT. TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING AFTER FIVE MINUTES RESTORED ALL NORMAL FUNCTION, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY (ASIDE FROM CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) THE NEXT DAY AND WAS DRIVEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSIS. DIAGNOSIS WAS A BROKEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, DESCRIBED AS A "KNOWN ISSUE", WHICH WAS REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING TODAY, I SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY, AND THEN THE POWER WENT OUT. I BEGAN TO SMELL SMOKE, AND I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T CONTROL MY CAR! ONCE I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND PULL OVER TO A SAFER AREA-- BUT THE SMOKE REMAINED. I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BODY IS MALFUNCTIONING, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE ON AN ALMOST-NEW CAR.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE NEAR POWER AND PHONE LINES WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO STEP HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STOPPED AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 2 FEET. THE FORD DEALER CHECKED CODES, ETC. AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAD PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED A RECALL FROM FORD AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAD BEEN REPLACED ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE HAS CAUSED THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHIELDING FOR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE ABOUT 8400 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP ON OUR HIGHWAY RAMP. I HAD INTENDED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. BEFORE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY CAR ACCELERATED CAUSING MY BACK TIRES TO LOCK AND SCREECH. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARD THE RIGHT SO THAT I COULD REMAIN ON THE TWO LANE ROAD. MY CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT AND I SLAMMED INTO THE MEDIUM. MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT WAS STILL RUNNING. I TURNED OFF THE MEDIUM AND CONTINUED HOME. SHORTLY AFTER I HEARD THUMPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY LOUDER THUMPING AND MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD LIT EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH. I PULLED MY CAR TO THE SIDE TO FIND I HAD TWO BLOWN FRONT TIRES, MY BUMPER WAS BROKEN AND MY DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WENT FLAT WAITING ON A TOW. ALL MY YEARS DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION OF A VEHICLE AND PRAY THAT MYSELF OR GRANDDAUGHTER NEVER HAVE TO AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FUSION THAT I PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT HAS LOST POWER FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST THREE DAYS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN IT, TWICE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HEADING TO AND FROM DALLAS FOR WORK. A WRENCH WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD, A MESSAGE SAYING "SEE MANUAL" WILL POP UP, AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE. I CANNOT PULL THE VEHICLE OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS THIS PAST MONDAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE CAR WOULD BE FINE AFTERWARDS. ON MY WAY HOME YESTERDAY, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WORK NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON BECAUSE OF CONSTRICTION, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED ANOTHER PART AND ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. MY ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM TWICE REGARDING MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALLBACK. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD, BUT THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL. DO I HAVE TO DIE IN MY VEHICLE ON 35E IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT PUTS MY FAMILY'S AND MY LIFE IN IMMINENT AND SUBSTANTIAL DANGER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I ISSUE. I CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE FUSION ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY RAMP (ROUTE 22 IN SPRINGFIELD NJ) TO GO DORM SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL. UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING ON THE RAMP THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION WHILE PRESSING DOWN IN THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE BEHIND HER BEGAN TO ACCELERATE; THE FUSION THEN LOST ALL POWER, THE VEHICLE STUCK HER IN THE REAR AND PUSHED MY DAUGHTERS FUSION INTO AN ACTIVE LANE WITH TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 55 MPH AND UP. THERE WAS MINOR AESTHETIC DAMAGE TO THE FUSION. BUT THAT IS NOT MY CONCERN IN THE LEAST! THE FUSION WAS STUCK ON AN ACTIVE HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY, MY DAUGHTER COULD OR SHOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! THIS IS THE DEMARCATION OF A NEAR MISS! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE 'WRENCH ICON' THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THEN THERE ARE 100'S OF ARTICLES PERTAINING TO INJURIES AND FATALITIES DUE FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES! FORD SALES FAILED TO MENTION THAT DURING THE SALE! I STOPPED AT FORD SERVICE THIS MORNING TO ADVISE THEM OF THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED 'AH YEAH GOTTA BE THE THROTTLE BODY' 'HAPPENS ALL THE TIME' 'THERE WAS A BAD BATCH'!
