Re: The Fusion/Contour auto transmission: awful
It's nothing a software update cannot fix. There are a few after-market companies available that can 'flash' the programming to make the power train a touch more responsive, but it'll cost!
I noticed in my Taurus after I bought it that it too likes to stay in the tallest gear possible at any given speed. Around town I drive it in 3rd just for better responsiveness and engine braking when loaded. I noticed when I was at the dealer, the Fusion only had Low and drive! WTF! I imagine the I4 is a fine engine for everyday driving, but putting it against a transmission that you have very poor control over is a bad idea for sure.
