My 2015 ford fusion has difficulty changing gears while driving, specifically shifting from first to second, then second to third. Also, rough shifting from park to reverse with my foot on the brake. The latest incident was when i moved the gear shift from park to reverse and the car did not shift into gear. I put it back into park, then into reverse again and it shifted. I drive it home, very slowly, and had it…

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…

There is a shift lag between 2nd and 3rd gear cold or hot, especially with gradual acceleration. Ford replaced the shift solenoid, with no improvement. Took it back and they said they receive an ssm ford to the effect that it was normal to have this issue.

Stopped in drive thru at fast food restaurant. Car was fine. Got ready to put car in drive, would not move and could not change gears, could not remove key from ignition. When tow truck driver arrived, he noticed that the shift linkage was disconnected from gear changer. No part in stock to reconnect it, even after contacting dealership. A car this new should not have this problem. Only normal driving activity and…

Recently, while traveling from chicago, il to las vegas nevada, i experienced mechanical issues with my 2015 ford fusion.

The repair shop stated that they would need a few days to diagnose the vehicle. Unfortunately, i had no more days to stay in vegas, as i needed to return home. Thus, i…

The 2015 fusion had a surge and the car jerked forward. My wife said that happened to her before. When it happened when i was in the car driving it we both looked at each other. This happened to us with the 2010 rav4 and the 2009 sienne that crashed into a tree. Please check this car for a computer problem.

After the car has been off for some time. Put the car in reverse. After reversing out of spot, etc. And put the car into "l"; upon moving forward, the engine starts racing and lurches uncontrollably forward. Almost like the car is engine braking down a large hill, but no hill and is accelerating without applying brakes. This is the plug-in hybrid model. There is no incline when this happens.

There is a defect in the wiper and/or windshield design - it is extremely hard to see when it is raining, even just moderately raining, and even with the wiper speed on high. I can't tell if the wipers are too slow, if the angle of the windshield promotes water retention, or if the problem is with the wiper mechanism design (instead of going the same direction, the wipers start in the middle and go separate…

My vehicle has stalled multiple times during motion and when it was in stationary. There was a message popping up on the dashboard saying "transmission not in park", i took it to multiple dealers to see if they can find the issue and all of them said that their computer isn't detecting the issue that i'm having. So they can't duplicate my concern. I even opened up a lemon law case in nj so hopefully they can help…

I've had steering and transmission issues since i purchased this car that can't be and/or won't be addressed by the dealer. The car is very hard to keep in the lane especially on the expressway. The transmission shifts very hard upon acceleration and deceleration. The suspension is weak making the car seem as if it's sinking on the drivers side and bounces way too much as well as the swaying as the car is driven and…
