Car Will Not Start Problems of Ford Fusion Hybrid

While driving at 40 mph, the vehicle lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The infotainment screen system and the dash console dials all went completely dark. The vehicle immediately shut down with no power in the middle of the road. The vehicle would not start up again. How can a vehicle be driving down the road and suddenly and without warning go "dark" and shut down and cannot be start up again? multiple cars (much older cars) had to swerve around my brand new 2018 Ford fusion energi plug in. The vehicle is at the dealer and it is awaiting diagnostic testing and repairs.

Car would not start with key in ignition; jumped 12v battery to take to dealer. 12v battery replaced 3/20/18 ($210). On 6/10/2018, again, car would not start. Was told by dealer they didn't know why new battery not working; replaced, 12v again ($0 under warranty). On 7/19/2018, again, vehicle not starting; absolutely no electronic display in dash, therefore, looks to be 12v battery problem, again. This vehicle appears to have a problem w/ ability to maintain 12v battery charged and system inoperable even after new battery replacement.

The contact stated that when the when he attempted to start the vehicle, the key fob fractured and the key became detached from the fob and the vehicle would not start.

The contact was able to use a spare key to operate the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000. Sw.

The car stalls at varied speeds which is a huge safety issue. I owned a 2010 Ford fusion previously with my company fleet vehicle program, and had the same problem. I brought the car to the dealership and it was fixed without question. At that time I was unaware of this being part of a bigger problem. In the fall of 2011, I purchased a different 2010 Ford fusion from our fleet as it was being turned in, and this is the vehicle that I am discussing in this forum. It only has 30000 miles on it, but is 6 months out of the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty. The car stalled once, a month ago, and the problem seemed to rectify itself. Then yesterday, 6/19/2013, it stalled 6 times. My 17 year old daughter drives the car and was stuck in the middle of a very busy intersection. For almost one minute, the car would not restart, but finally did, and she was able to get out of the intersection. As I read the forums, it is obvious to me that this is a nationwide problem, looking back, I've had 2 cars with the identical problem. The service men at the dealership know that the problem is specific to the throttlebody, which is defective, and there is over a week backlog on the parts as more and more cars are having the same issue. This is a dangerous problem, to lose power to a vehicle in motion and Ford is aware of this issue, yet they are taking no steps in addressing the issue. It is going to cost me $600 to have the part replaced, as it is outside the 3 year warrant, yet Ford knows that this was a model wide issue with a defective car part. I am disappointed and angry that a glaring problem such as this is not being addressed due to Ford attempting to let the problem hopefully just fade away and not be taken to task over this issue. I pray that the NHTSA will step in, right a wrong, and in the process prevent a tragic accident before it becomes a reality.
