Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC -- LOTS OF STOP AND GO -- WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY FOB AND APPARENTLY TURNED IT INTO THE ACC POSITION. CAR SHUT DOWN AND MESSAGE "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY BLINKERS AND DRIFTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE 4-LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AND PUTTING IT IN PARK I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. CAR IS USUALLY DRIVEN BY 5' 3" DRIVER WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM; BUT I AM 6" 3" AND MY KNEE CONTINUALLY HITS THE IGNITION KEY FOB AS I MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. TO SAY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR TALL DRIVERS OF THE FORD FUSION WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
