While driving this vehicle the engine misfires decrease in power and completely stops acceleration. it also uses a great deal of fuel. the coolant constantly leaks out and the engine overheats every few minutes. the car also overheats when sitting in a parked position. while driving on the freeway the car slowed to 25mph. we were very close to being involved in an accident.
When in drive the car jerks very hard whenever it switches gears also the car would stall after putting it into drive sometimes it will not move forcing me to turn the ignition off and back on to try it again.
2015 ford fusion- after sitting for short periods of time the vehicle will not turn on until multiple attempts. the battery is good. no jump is required. vehicle will go from no power on the first attempted start to managing to power on within a couple of minutes. while in drive, the vehicle will not switch gears appropriately. the engine will rev, pull, and then switch gears very roughly. this has been looked at by a local mechanic. the mechanic could not find any problems even though it has been a consistent occurrence. mechanic stated that this is common in newer fords.
I literally just bought this car and within 15 min of driving off the lot it stalled multiple times in the drive thru and then again when pulling onto the road and oncoming traffic almost hit us. terrifying.
Depress the accelerator and often the vehicle has no power. sputters and then the engine revs high and takes off. often during driving the rpm gauge will spike, loss of power occurs and then the vehicle jerks and power is restored. does not matter the length of time the vehicle is driven, these incidents happen every day, every time the vehicle is driven. just purchased the vehicle on 2-12-2018, used with 46xxx miles on it.
The vehicle displayed a "wrench" light and the vehicle suffered diminished performance while driving. this happened sporadically both when stationary and driving for two weeks. each time i took it to the dealer the "wrench" was not on and they could not capture a "code." finally, one morning the light was on and i was able to take it directly to the dealer and they identified the electronic throttle body as defective.
Adaptive cruise control the acc on my truck malfunctions unexpectedly and frequently when passing large trucks at highway speed. when it malfunctions, it causes collision warning systems to activate including unexpected and hard braking. i have taken the truck to the dealership where i purchased it twice for this problem. once before and once after the recall. there was not change the first time and after the second time the problem was reduced in severity and frequency but continues to happen. my service department is willing to look at it again, but says there is nothing to do that they have not already done. the unexpected braking not only is a surprise to the driver, but it also may cause vehicles following to react inappropriately. this danger is exaggerated because it frequently happens on the interstate while passing large trucks.
