The rack and pinion is starting to get hard and making noise. My steering is not functioning as it suppose to be. Engine is starting to shake while on red light. My a/c doesn't work and lights do not work from the inside.
I was driving about 30 mph on a two lane, rural road when suddenly my 2010 Ford Fusion started sputtering, coughing, jerking. The car slowed down to a crawl and would not respond to my pressing the accelerator; then the engine shut off and a red-wrench light appeared on the dash. I cranked the car again; in park, the engine sounded fine, but when I placed it in drive, the sputtering and coughing started again. I drove a few feet, again without any response from the accelerator, and the car shut off again. I repeated this three times, all to the same effect: drive a few feet, engine is coughing, sputtering, jerking, then engine shuts off. After the third time, I cranked it, but while still in park I revved up the engine as high as I could (accelerator to the floor). After that, when I put the car in drive, there was no coughing, no sputtering, no jerking, accelerator responded smoothly. I was able to drive home (half mile) and park the car. But I am terrified the problem will happen again--this time in heavy traffic or even on the interstate--and the engine may again stop without warning while I am driving along. I am even too afraid to drive it to the repair shop. A scary dangerous car.
