NHTSA Complaint #10717050 — 2010 FORD FUSION

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH AND CAME UP BEHIND A TRUCK DOING ABOUT 50MPH. I CHANGED LANES AND WENT TO PASS THE TRUCK. AS I PASSED THE TRUCK MY CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND SEEMED TO NOT SWITCH GEARS AT THE RIGHT TIME, CAUSING A HARD SHIFT AND A "CHUG" FEEL. I PASSED THE TRUCK AND SLOWED DOWN TO 60MPH AND AS THE CAR SHIFTED AGAIN, IT CAUSED ANOTHER HARD SHIFT AND "CHUG" FEEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD FUSIONS. MINE DIDN'T START HAPPENING UNTIL AFTER THE PCM UPDATE RECALL THAT WAS DONE ON 2/26/15. I TOOK IT INTO FORD AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THERE IS NO WRENCH ON THE DASH AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A CODE, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED TO THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT MANY CARS HAVE AN ISSUE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SINCE THERE IS NO ONE THAT HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO IT, THAT IT ISN'T BEING FIXED. PLEASE RECALL THIS AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE FROM THIS.
