Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford fusion. while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle began to violently vibrate and then stalled. the transmission warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed. the vehicle was previously repaired and the motor mounts were replaced. in addition, while idling, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle rolled unintentionally. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 8,900.
On two occasions the vehicle spontaneously accelerated while backing out and pulling into the garage. this happened with 2 different drivers and conditions were similar with very low speeds and we were able to stop the vehicle both times by applying the brakes. *tr
Ok, i traded in my 2009 fusion 6 cyl for the 2013 1.8 ecco boost. obviously when i test drove it i drove under normal conditions. at any rate, when you need to pass and step on the gas pedal the car hesitates and seems to have no power at all. the gas miliage is around 22 mile per gallon highway. no where near what was advertised. i was told this engine was comperable to my v6. no way! has anyone else reported this issue? in addition the sync system keeps freezing up on phone calls. *tr
While driving on a city road with my foot on the gas at 35-40mph, the transmission erratically shifted into a lower gear on the transmission, causing the engine rpms to near instantaneously to go from 1750-2000rpms to just over 4000rpms. through the rpm increase the vehicle maintained the previous 35-40mph speed. ultimately, was forced to brake to bring the engine rpms down. *tr
While driving to work on the highway 65-mph the engine shuts off without warning, the instrumental panel starts acting up as if you are turning on and off the key. they found a lose wire to the instrumental cluster on the second time they replaced the instrumental cluster. it has been taken back six times and now the dashboard shuts down and i lose lights, signals, and other electronic features. i have lost power steering and brakes in between. they offered me an extended warranty??? it is a shame that a consumer who buys a car from a dealership has to go through the grinder just to get out of their lemon. i just want to get out of this vehicle. *tr
