NHTSA complaint: 2010 FORD FUSION — SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC TO TURN LEFT AT A TURN SIGNAL. THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WENT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW, THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I WENT FROM ACCELERATING TO BRAKING, AND THE BRAKE WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I OBVIOUSLY REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. HE SAID HE COULD SEE ME AND LET OFF HIS BRAKE WHEN HE REALIZED MY CAR WASN'T STOPPING. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT TONIGHT AT A DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND I THOUGHT I WAS JUST IMAGINING IT. *JS
