Consumer Description

AT THE BEGINNING OF ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD. THE RPM'S GO ABOVE 3 AND THEN THERE IS A HARD SHIFT AND THE RPM'S GO DOWN TO 2 1/2 AND THEN FINALLY DOWN TO 1 1/2. THIS IS ONLY TO GET TO 30 MPH AND IT HAS A HESITATION TO GAIN SPEED. MY HUSBAND DRIVES IT MOSTLY AND HE SAYS THAT HE HAS NOTICED IT FOR A WHILE. I JUST NOTICED IT IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER FUSION OWNERS AND SOME OF THEM EXPERIENCE THE SAME. IS THAT WHY FORD WAS TRYING SO HARD TO SATURATE THE MARKET WITH THEM?? *TR
