Description of the problem | I like many others am complaining about the key fob/ignition issue. I am 5ft9 and a heavier guy. I bought this care for my wife but i drive from it from time to time. On multiple occasions while driving both on the road and backing out of my driveway my knee or leg has bumped the key and it has turned the car off. I dread to think about the damage or death that issue can cause on the highway or interstate. If the key turns off while driving, this can cause transmission issues and death. A key should not be able to rotate as easy as it does on the fusion. I have had owned many cars and i have never seen a key turn in the ignition as easy as this. Also the fan is very loud when the car is turned on. This key issue should be a recall now before people die. |
