  1. I was able to get the vehicle back into my dealer today and they said they could not detect it. I suspect they did not drive the vehicle at speed long enough, given the test route they described to have taken. They did however re-flash my tranny, and advised me to bring the vehicle back in a few more thousand km's if the problem worsens. I will find out tomorrow when I have a chance to drive a stretch, whether or not the re-flash has had any effect.
  2. Its good to see I am not alone! I just purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion SEL 3.0 at the end of August, after driving a 2007 version for 4 years. This car now has 3400km on it and is primarily my transport to work via highway each day. I absolutely loved the 07, best car I have ever driven, so I thought, hey, I should get another! Well I am rethinking that now. :doh: As much as I love the styling and the comfort of the 2010, I am experiencing what can only be described as a slip or a shudder at various speeds. I noticed it about 2 weeks after I got the car. It is most notable at speeds in the 65-80kmh and 110-120 kmh range. It almost feels like the drop in power you get when you switch on your AC and it engages, but it this shudder is intermittent. It is getting progressively worse. I have been back to the dealer I purchased the car from and they started by checking wheel balance, which they say was very slightly out. This did not correct the issue. I have called them back and the car is going back in to be looked at again. Has anyone had a similiar experience and if so, what ended up being the root cause? My hope is that it is just programming, or a sensor of some kind, but the more I drive and the worse it becomes, the more I am thinking I have a bad tranny. :banghead:
