Consumer Description

2012 FORD FUSION SEL WITH A V6 WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TERRIBLY BETWEEN ALL GEARS. EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS AND 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. USUALLY ABOUT A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION CAN FIND THE GEAR. THE CAR HAS DOWN THIS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL. EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU GO TO PASS SOMEONE AND YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT APPEAR ABLE TO FIND THE GEAR AND MAINTAIN SPEED. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST MONTHLY SINCE MARCH OF 2012 AND THE DEALER STATES THAT FORD SAID THAT IS JUST HOW THE VEHICLE SHIFTS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE ABOUT MY CONCERNS. I HAVE A 2005 MALIBU WITH 150,000 MILES ON IT THAT SHIFTS BETTER THAN THE FUSION. *TR
