I've recently purchased an 06 Ford fusion only to feel right away that upon braking and accelerating the car jumps, skips, bucks and then goes. Brought back to my dealership that is not from ford where I was told it was because it has an electronic throttle and the car has to catch up with one another upon me braking or accelerating. I've read several complaints now on this vehicle doing the same thing and taking it back to the ford dealership tomorrow. I want to know what CAUSES this issue, I've read it is the valve body and then tranny will go. I can't and shouldn't have to deal with these issues on a car. I am still under warranty, but don't even want the car anymore. I find it very dangerous and Ford should definitely have a recall on this. It is not common for a vehicle to do this. Never happened with any other car I've owned. Truly disappointed. I feel like the transmission is going to fly out of the hood and don't want an accident to occur. Not a smooth ride. I want proof from the dealership what the issue is to bring to my dealership that I brought it from so I can get my money back. This is ridiculous Ford!!!
