NHTSA Complaint #10412078 — 2010 FORD FUSION

TRANSMISSION IS ACTING VERY ERRATIC. THE TRANSMISSION "FLARES" CAUSING RPMS TO GO UP QUICKLY REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE POSITION. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALMOST AS IF SEARCHING BETWEEN GEARS WHILE MAINTAINING A STEADY SPEED. ALSO, IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY, COMPARABLE TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OPERATING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND THESE ABRUPT SHIFTS CAUSE THE CAR TO WANT TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAIL WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND BEING A FATHER OF TWO LITTLE ONES, WANT TO SEE TO IT THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. FORD DENIES THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS, YET A BIT OF RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE MULTIPLE LEMON LAW SUITS AGAINST THE 2010 FORD FUSION. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE HEARD THERE REALLY IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS, AND THOSE WHO HAVE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY IMPROVEMENT. IN FACT, MANY HAVE REPORTED COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE FROM THE SO-CALLED "FIXES". *TT
