STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS IN A PARKING LOT DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE POWER STEERING HAS RESET INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,649.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR THE CAR WILL VERY ROUGHLY GO INTO GEAR, AND SECOND TO THIRD AND THIRD TO FOURTH IS NOT MUCH BETTER. FROM FOURTH TO FIFTH AND FIFTH TO SIXTH IS FINE MOST OF THE TIME. I HAD TWO CALIBRATION UPDATES PERFORMED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR AND LET THE UPDATE SET IN. AFTER BOTH TIMES I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY, INSTEAD AFTER THE LAST UPDATE THE ISSUE PROGRESSED. I HAVE PLEADED WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO TRADE MY CAR FOR ANOTHER FUSION (SAME VALUE) AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TOO MUCH NEGATIVE EQUITY. INSTEAD I WAS TOLD I COULD GET A FORD FOCUS AND HOW EVER MUCH I AM "UPSIDE DOWN" THEY WOULD ROLL IT OVER TO THE PRICE OF THE FOCUS. I TOLD THEM THAT WASN'T FAIR AND THAT I WANTED ANOTHER FUSION THAT DID NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THAT PLANET FORD COULD NOT HELP ME AND I SHOULD GET ANOTHER OPINION IF I WAS UNHAPPY. SO I WENT TO ANDERSON FORD AND HAD THE MECHANICS RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT TO SEE IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. WHILE ANDERSON FORD WAS DIAGNOSING MY CAR I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL FUSION THAT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY CAR AS FAR AS SHIFTING. I ALSO WAS SPEAKING WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE AND WENDY (CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER) TOLD ME THAT IF ANDERSON FORD DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THAT CAR. ANDERSON FORD REPORTED THAT NO WARNING CODES COULD BE FOUND AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I TOLD THEM THE DIFFERENCE I NOTICED IN DRIVING THE RENTAL FUSION AND MY FUSION AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DISREGARDED IT. I WAS GIVEN MY CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD IF I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT I NEEDED TO TRADE IT IN AND DEAL WITH THE NEGATIVE EQUITY. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT DIFFERENT CARS AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE MY CAR IN BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MUCH NEGATIVE EQUITY. PLEASE HELP ME ON THISISSUE SO I CAN GET A CAR THAT OPERATES CORRECTLY.
