While i was driving in the fast lane on the highway my 2010 ford fusion sport overheated and cut off due to a faulty heat pump which resulted in coolant leaking into it and warping my engine. There was no check engine light or any other indicator that there was an issue with my vehicle. I had even just gotten my car "winter ready" with my mechanic and in november.

I was driving 70 mph down the highway and my car just quit running. A few warning lights came on and i pulled over to the shoulder of the road. I was able to restart the car and merged onto the highway; the car quickly died again. I had the car towed home and was unable to start the car again since the anti-theft lock light was on. I had the car towed to a dealership and i am waiting to hear back from them.

2010 fusion hybrid lost power then shut down. A warning on the instrument panel said to pull over safely and stop. I have done research and found other drivers of the same make and model are having the same problem. If this were to happen in heavy traffic it could cause an accident. Apparently ford motor is aware of the problem but has done nothing to remedy the situation. My understanding is the problem may be with…

The tire seems if it's going to fall off the car as i'm driving. There is no light indicating there is something wrong. It does not pick up speed i would have to put my foot all the way to the floor for it to really go anywhere. I'm on the highway everyday going to work. I hope one…
