I was trying to accelerate to merge on to the freeway. My 2006 ford fusion refused to respond. The revs went up to 4000 rpm and the car just stayed there going very slowly. After a few seconds, it jerked forward, so i pulled back on the side of the road and let the "tantrum" past. I've had several close calls since-- the most scary one occurring in stop-and-go traffic. When accelerating after slowing down, the…
