Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS UNPREDICTABLE. 1-2 AND 2-3 GEAR SHIFT WILL REV AT HIGH RPM AND SLAM INTO GEAR. MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR AT ANY INTERSECTION WHERE CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP IS VERY DANGEROUS AS ACCELERATION IS NON-EXISTENT UNTIL IT SLAMS HARD INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS FROM 1ST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP. BESIDES SAFETY ISSUE, THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS RATE WILL NOT LAST LONG. THIS ISSUE IS MAINLY PRESENT WHEN 1) COLD OR 2) AFTER THE CAR HAS SIT FOR A COUPLE DAYS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THE DEALER TO ACT ON ANYTHING. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2010 FORD FUSIONS AND NOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2011 FUSION (NOT THE SPORT MODEL AS IT USES DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION). *TR
