2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid: sudden loss of power

Filed Oct 29, 2017 · Engine · 29,000 miles · OR

I was driving 25mph on a neighborhood road when I slowed down to go over a speed bump. After going over the bump, I went to accelerate and the car felt as if it had choked and lost all power. Within 30 seconds a warning on my dash asked me to pull over safely now. After finding a safe place to pull over, I remained in my car. The battery life continued to run down until it was dead and the motor never kicked on to recharge it. It turned itself off and 30 minutes later I tried to restart my vehicle. It turned on, attempted to turn on its motor since it could not idle on its dead battery, and the cars warning signs came on then died again. There is no explanation for this malfunction and the recalls made are not relevant to the issue occurring. I just bought the car 8 weeks ago and it has less than 30,000 miles on it. This is a serious problem.
