liliceman77 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I purchased a 2012 Ford Fusion back in May of 2014. When I bought it, it had 26,000 miles on it. Well anyways, I have noticed that at times it seems the car gets confused on whether to shift up or not. A couple of times when I am trying to merge and accelerate on the highway, the car will like "freeze" and not shift up to the next gear. If I let off the gas completely, and reapply pressure, the car will then shift up fine. Is this an onboard computer problem that controls the shifting? Or a physical problem with the transmission? There was also one time I put it in reverse and pressed on the gas, and it revved and then jolted back like a foot. I put it in park, put it back in reverse, and it reversed fine. It's only happened a few times, but with the car only being at 50,000 miles now, I am somewhat worried for later on down the road. What do you all think? Something minor not to worry about? Or is this an early sign of transmission failure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefoeyouknow Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Depending on your warranty start date, you should still be under 5y/60k powertrain warranty. See your dealer, before time runs out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
