Description of the problem | When driving on city street at 45mph the car jolted excessively once and then went out of gear untill it slowed to 30mph and slammed again violently and rpms went up to 5000 which maintaned my speed at 45mph at that time the wrench light came on and as i was coming to a red light it jerked forward while i was braking almost hit a pedestrian in crosswalk. At green light i attempted to accelerate but the car moved slowly untill it reached 25 mph and then went out of gear while i was on the gas i tried to put it into low gear to get going so i could pull over but it didnt respond as this was happening a desiel truck had rear ended me totaling the car i just bought a week prior. . Its very unsafe car for this transmission is apparently plagued with this problem for so many others i just hope it dosent take even one death of another life before this problem is admitted and recalled to fix. So many depend on their car as i had depended on fords slogans built ford tough ... Yeah built to get us nearly killed i say. Thousands of dollars lost in the car purchase and lost work and medical bills i may not recover from. At least i didnt die and am thankfull for that. But i will never look at ford the same way as my nightmares consume me with the reoccurring details of my near death experience i had operating this fusion se. |
