    We just purchased the car yesterday and so far we are having 2 issues. The first is the shifting of the gears when driving between first and second which can be rough. It feels like downshifting more than speed pick up. Also we were driving on the highway and our rear passenger tire blew out just like that and we nearly lost control of the vehicle. Very scary. Took the vehicle back to ford to look into.

    Engine or transmission knock. Steering knock from turning wheels all the way to the left and right. When in park, reverse, or neutral the knock behind the firewall is not heard.

    Trouble with transmission clutch assembly. Was told ford put in manual clutch in automatic cars. Hesitation upon acceleration, rolls backward when in drive on incline, does not shift right, "chugs". Purchased 2014 car in early 2015, used. Feel car sales business should have known and not sold car in this condition, or have had it fixed first. Per ford service station, parts are on backlog for 3-4 months. Even though…

    Driving down the road around 35-40 mph coming up to a light, the vehicle started to accelerate by itself, had to hit the brakes, thankfully it stopped. My wife was driving and was not using cruise control. The weather outside was cold. This is the first time this has happened. I hope it is the last. This is a ford fusion hybrid with the 2.0 l engine. Being a hybrid there is no spare tire. They have run flat tires.…

    I avoided another vehicle that cut me off on the expressway by honking the horn, slamming on the brakes and quickly changing lanes. As soon as i maneuvered into an empty lane, my vehicles instrument panel went dark, the horn stopped sounding, all gauges went to zero and the car lost all electric power (including steering assist) and the engine stumbled. After a second or two everything on the instrument panel reset.…

    This vehicle has a proximity starting system. No insertion of a key is needed to start the car. The car is supposed to recognize the electronic key to your vehicle. After shopping i came out got into my car and pushed the start button with my key fob in my pocket. My wife happened to be sitting beside me in the car with a key fob in her purse. The car would not start and a message saying "key not recognized". I…

    I was exiting a freeway when i experienced my first problem. In the middle of traffic, my car shut off and i lost most functionality of the vehicle. The dashboard displayed an alert transmission not in park. I was driving normally and did not press any buttons or make any adjustments to the gears. He only thing that was functioning was the brakes and steering wheel, i had no control over the gas. The problem…

    1. Both the check engine light and airbag light come on (at different times) while the car is being driven. 2. When cranking the engine during starting, the cranking time takes about 4-5 seconds. The extended crank time concerns me with respect to the longevity of the starter and battery wear. 3. The vehicle looses power when driving uphill. What's even more upsetting (considering the very low mileage an the issue…
