I was traveling on interstate at 65-70 mph, when my fusion's rpm's all of a sudden dropped to 1 and would not react to the gas pedal, luckily i was in the slow lane and managed to coast off the interstate. Fortunately for me this was during non-rush hour traffic, otherwise it could have been quite dangerous with not being able to get out of the way of continued interstate traffic. After turning the vehicle off and…

Engine lost power without warning. We were at low speed and could get off the road. Dealer has cleaned the electronic throttle body and reinstalled it. Concern is what happens in the future if failure is in a very dangerous location. There should be a recall for this condition. *tr

In the past week, my vehicle has "stalled," for lack of a better word, at moderate to high speeds on three separate occasions. The third time this occurred, i was driving uphill during rush hour on "the cut in the hill," a stretch of highway in northern kentucky near cincinnati known for its disproportionately high number of auto accidents. It's a very dangerous place for a vehicle to simply stop at the busiest time…
