Today when turning into a parking space with my right foot lightly on the brake, my car suddenly accelerated. I quickly turned the wheel and braked to avoid hitting a cement post. Two weeks ago when going up a hill without my cruise control on, the car would not accelerate when i was pushing on the gas pedal. I released the pedal and the car lurched forward so fast i had to brake. *tr

On september 15, 2011 i was driving my 5 month old 2011 ford fusion hybrid with 5700 miles on it when a brake warning light came on and a warning tone sounded in my vehicle. I pulled over and stopped the vehicle. I called walker ford in clearwater and they said it probably was only a defective rear brake light and bring it in when you have time. I restarted my vehicle and the warning light and tone were gone. I…

Last time they told me there was nothing they could do until ford came out with a new fix. Ford has…

I was traveling about 35 to 40mph when the car starting acting up. Anytime i had to slow down and then speed up the rpm would not shift, when it did shift it would jerk the car forward. I also have been having an issue where i would step on the gas and it would act as if it was in neutral. This continues to happen and i fear that one of these times i will be in an accident with my kids in the car. These are all…

When this vehicle has not been driven for 24 hours, driving it the next day will cause tranmission flaring. Specifically, when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear (approx. At 25 mph), it goes to neutral and then backs into 3rd with a jump. The tachometer registers the jump in rev's as it goes to neutral. Vehicle has been to ford dealer 4 times and still has the same problem. Ford has a tsb 11-9-9 that explains the problem…

Transmission "flares" (rpms jump) when upshifts occur, sometimes several hundred rpms between lower and next higher gear. This happens on irregular basis, but mostly seems to happen when car is cold. *tr
