crash525 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well I am back again. I had a 2012 ford fusion 2.5l with numerous problems that the dealer could not figure out. After time and time again of going their I guess they got sick of me and swapped my car out for another 2012 fusion but with a 3.0l with 18,000mi. Any who, I have had the car for a few weeks now and I have come across a few problems. I just had the blower motor replaced today. Sync is having issue and has failed to be updated 2 times today. But the topic I want to ask about is the driveability of my car. While cruising between 35 and 45 mph at a steady speed with the cruise control on or off the car makes this trailer hitching jerk motion, like back and forth. It feels like I am towing a trailer with a loose hitch. It does not do it while accelerating. It does it in automatic mode or manual mode. It only does it in 4th and 5th gear. I took it too the dealer took them for a test drive and they noticed the issue. They connected their laptop to my car and monitored every possible sensor to see if any are acting up and they could not find anything. They also went through and inspected it for a few hours also. Couldn't find anything. They are getting in touch with the Ford Hotline engineers to see if they can find anything. But I have not hear back from them yet. To describe the issue a little more. The tach and speedo do not move when this happens. I just feel like while driving. I happens more prevalent at 41 mph. I can make it do it alot if I put the car in manual and shift into 4th gear and drive at 41 mph. It can be confused for bumps in the road but when you are on a smooth road it can definitely be felt. There are no check engine lights or anything. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem or issues like this. So as of right now I have lost all faith in Ford. I used to love the brand but now after two cars with this few mile and this many issue I have just lot all faith in them. I am thinking that Ford is not what it used to be. I had less problems with a car that was 8 years old and over 120,000mi. It drove better, ran better, and had less issues in the two and a half years that I owned it than the two fusions I had in the past three months. Are all fusions like this or am I just getting bad cars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash525 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 No it is not. I have figured out what it is. The motor mounts are bad. The motor rocks really bad when I put in in drive or reverse. When I am cruising and let off the throttle I can feel the bounce forward and back when the car idles down. Now I am going to see if the dealership can figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
