UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, MY WIFE'S BLOUSE CAUGHT ON THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CENTER CONSOLE AND THIS MOMENTARILY ENGAGED IT.

SUSPENSION

this is a brand new car. i am experiencing front end vibration, more and more frequently, at normal highway speeds, some increase when turning and more when going over small bumps in the road. i would describe it as a tactile but non-audible "rumble". i have not felt like the steering will go out of control but i am concerned about the steering stability and possible suspension problem leading to lack of control.

STEERING

pulling into a parking lot warning light came on that said steering fault - service now. i went into my appointment came out started that car to go to the ford dealer which was approximately 15 miles away and when i started to back out of my parking space - warning light saying "steering failure-pull over safely along with alarms and the traction control light were flashing in warning and i had zero steering capability. had to call road side assistance. it was less than 50 feet that i had driven from the first warning light. in my opinion if i had been on the interstate or driving in inclement weather the warning light did not give enough warning to safely allow me to get myself and my car out of danger.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

while on an exit ramp, my right knee lightly touched the key fob and rolled the ignition into the acc position. i have contacted my dealer and ford and they have opened a case. i have a video of me replicating the incident twice in 35 seconds. the video has been sent to my ford dealer and to ford as well. the service manager at don wood ford in athens, ohio took a test drive with me at the request of ford corporate hq and i replicated the event 2x for him. ford states that they have no record of similar incidents and want to replace my ignition. when it does happen, a warning chime and "transmission not in park" appears on the control panel, you have to put the car in neutral, turn the key to run and then place the car back into drive contact me below if you would like to see the video.

SERVICE BRAKES

my wife and i were driving south on i-95 in florida. unbeknownst to me, my wife's blouse caught on the electric emergency brake located on the left side of the center console and this momentarily engaged it. our car screeched and lurched forward as the brake tried to engage. when she finally disengaged her clothing from the emergency brake lever, the car returned to normal operation. mind you all of this happened at 70 mph! first, why would that switch be active when the car is moving? unlike a manual emergency brake operated by a lever, the electronic brake goes "full on" at engagement, making it particularly dangerous if it accidentally becomes engaged while the car is moving, especially at high speed. second, i was lucky as traffic was pretty light at the time of this incident. if someone had been near to me, or tailgating as is so ofter the case on the highway, we would have had a serious accident. i must admit i was shaken until i finally unraveled what had happened. i love my ford fusion hybrid and the technology that's included in the car. the electronic emergency brake, however, should not be able to be engaged while the car is moving. as an example, the seat memory setting buttons can't be used while the car is in gear. that same limitation should be put in place for the electronic emergency brake before it causes a serious accident for someone.

driving to work when all of a sudden it became incredibly difficult to steer and control car. i was veering at first to the left then to the right. i tried not to hit the person on my right and slammed on the brakes, which caused me to fishtail and hit the guy anyway. my rear driver's side tire was completely gone-only a rim remained. this car has barely 800 miles on it....scary and sad for the guy i hit...me-completely spooked and very disappointed albeit grateful to be alive and not run over by oncoming traffic...:(
