I had the ford dealership in wetaskiwin, alberta, canada check the vehicle,…

I have a 2010 ford fusion with 13k miles on it, that has been providing me with tremendous amount of heartache. The vehicle will automatically slip into random gears while driving, even to the extent of shifting from 6 gear all the way down to 1st. I was driving down i-17 in arizona doing the speed limit of 75mph when for the second time it slipped all the way in to 1st gear. Both times this occurred it nearly…

Since the vehicle was new the transmission slips or jumps into gear. The engine also hesitates when the gas pedal is pushed and then starts to go. Visits to three ford dealerships over the years and calls to ford have been useless. Ford dealers will charge for reprogramming of computer which does not fix the problem, there is what ford calls a recall but they will only fix the problem if the dash light comes on…

I had to push down very hard on the brake pedal to keep the car under control. I immediately put the car in "park" and the acceleration slowed down. I drove the car that day but reported the incident to hertz and urged them to…

Several weeks before the incident, i removed the driver's side all-weather floor mat (the factory-developed optional one) from our 2010 ford fusion hybrid and tossed it in the trunk. In the days leading up to this incident, the car had been to the body shop and the car wash. As near as i can tell an attendant at one of those places must have discovered the mat in the trunk and "helpfully" reinstalled it. But i…

This problem has happened multiple times. When i hit the gas after slowing down, the vehicle will not move. I will have to jam down on the gas pedal before it does anything. At that point, the rpm's fly up and the car will finally start moving. It is inevitable that this will cause me to get into a car accident and even possibly killed one day. There have been several times where i have been just shy of getting…

I was pulled into a parking spot in the parking lot of my gym, and the car was close to stopping, or stopped. The car accelerated, and i hit the building. When the crash was over, i looked down and my car's gear was in park. Either the car was already in park, and my foot was still on the brake, or my foot was on the break, and as the car accelerated forward, my hand hit the gear, putting it in park. I have pictures…
