No, it is not the tires or the alignment.... I know 3 other people who experience this same condition. It is the AWD engaging. Why would this only happen very seldom. Ford needs to allow you to defeat the AWD option.

I have a 2007 Mecury Milan V6 3.0L AWD. The car is great and does good in snow. The one area and other people that I know that have the Ford Fusion AWD is the issue with driving on icy road conditions. Ths car feels very unstable. I believe this is do to the AWD kicking in an out. The rear end feels like it gets a little wiggle. There have been a couple of times while going over a bridge the car went a little sideways. Then your heart skips a couple of beats. I'm typically going slower than other traffic so I don't believe I'm driving faster than the road conditions would allow. I have owned an AWD GMC Safari van and it was full time AWD 60/40 and it never felt unstable. I would prefer if they provided a way to defeat the AWD during Icy conditions. Maybe the computer has everthing in control but it doesn't feel stable on icy conditions. RAD
