NHTSA Complaint #10371175 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 13K MILES ON IT, THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDING ME WITH TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HEARTACHE. THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLIP INTO RANDOM GEARS WHILE DRIVING, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF SHIFTING FROM 6 GEAR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST. I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-17 IN ARIZONA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 75MPH WHEN FOR THE SECOND TIME IT SLIPPED ALL THE WAY IN TO 1ST GEAR. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY SPEED DECREASED SO SUDDENLY I WAS ALMOST REAR END AT 75MPH. I AM ACTUALLY FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE, WHO PRIMARILY DRIVES IT, AND MY SON SAFELY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN BEFORE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH WILL REVEAL THAT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT INDIVIDUAL DEALERS ARE ONLY TREATING THE SYMPTOMS AND NOT ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR
