NHTSA Complaint #10863234 — 2013 FORD FUSION HYBRID

CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AS IF THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SHUTS OFF MOMENTARILY AND TURNS BACK ON. HAPPENS WHEN GOING OVER SOME BUMPS AND DURING TURNS. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS IN A TURN AROUND IN A SEPARATED HIGHWAY WITH A MEDIAN, WHERE YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY, MAKING A LEFT TURN AND BRAKING AT THE SAME TIME, SO LESS THAN MAYBE 30 MPH. IT IS FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND I'M AFRAID I WILL RUN INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FEB 4, 2016. THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY PUT MUCH TIME INTO FINDING IT AS THE MILEAGE IN AND OUT ARE THE SAME. THE DEALERSHIP DID A PCM UPDATE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I READ A COMPLAINT FROM ANOTHER OWNER AND IT DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM WHICH PROMPTED ME TO FILE MY OWN COMPLAINT. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE.
