Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY BEHIND A SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC AT 30MPH. A CAR LET ME OVER IN TO THE LEFT TRAVELING LANE, AS I PUSHED DOWN THE GAS PADDLE TO ACCELERATE MY CAR JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES AND MADE A POPPING SOUND. IT WENT FROM 30MPH TO 0MPH AND THE CAR BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON IT'S BRAKES AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING ME! AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE LAST NIGHT (HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/TRANSMISSION-PROBLEM-242#), I REALIZED THAT MANY FUSION OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES, AND THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE GERMAN TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IN THIS MODEL. IT WAS A VERY SCARY, LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED 2006 FUSION KNOWING THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS A HISTORY OF BEING FAULTY! I WAS FEARFUL FOR MY LIFE, THE LIFE OF MY PUPPY IN THE BACKSEAT, AND THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND ME! I HAVE THIS QUESTION FOR FORD, "IS MAKING MONEY MORE IMPORTANT THAN A HUMAN LIFE?" LET'S GET THIS RIGHT AND RECALL ALL MODELS THAT HAVE THIS SPECIFIC GERMAN TRANSMISSION INSTALLED! *TR
