Fusion Hybrid

  • 50,000 miles
I pulled my car into a parking spot, using the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and position it in the spot. I removed the key from the ignition and exited the vehicle, assuming the vehicle was in park because I had been able to remove the key from the ignition. Unfortunately, the car was not in park--but was still in drive mode. The car slowly rolled backwards, hitting another parked vehicle behind it. In subsequent attempts to repeat the issue, I was able to remove the key from the ignition when the car was in drive mode--both when the car was stopped and when it was in motion. Ford has failed to address the situation, despite my outreach to their legal department. When I took the vehicle to a Ford repair center, they tried to charge me upwards of $400 for what is clearly a serious vehicle malfunction.

Fusion Hybrid 4-cyl

  • 9,500 miles
Several times when on toll road at legal speed car warning light came on and engine stopped/stalled, pulled over to side, turned engine off, and it started. Took it to dealer who replaced transmission pump (?) I took car out again and same thing happened. Read newspaper accounts of NHTSA investigation of escapes and Fusion stalling issues, but dealer after second occurrence said they had no information on any investigation. I am very reluctant to drive car after my personal experience and after reading of possible investigation pending.
