What owners wrote
On may 13, 2017 or there about my 2017 ford fusion from a stopped during take off accelerated very fast almost causing me to run into the rear of another vehicle. On may 15, 2017 I took my car in for service and told technician about it. He could not find a problem. Again on september 20, 2017 I took my car in specifically to have the acceleration problem checked out and again no problem was found. I was told to bring the vehicle in soon as it happened.
Automatic transmission shift stuck in park. Attempted to override per users manual and ford dealership service technician with negative results. The vehicle was stationary and had been shutdown. This occurred when attempting to drive the vehicle after starting it.
