2 accidents due to horse play...
Whatever
Allan, you need to go see a shrink.
Last year on making a left turn, i got hit on my right rear door. The car was written off and i had just put in a used engine and transmission lexus es300. liked that car, 18 years and no rust. one other accident 10 years ago.
But i get cold sweat and SHIVERS UP THE SPINE when i think about the misses. don't even want to go there. Only to say to the younger guys, when you go to the bar and had a few or more than a few, call a cab or let someone drive. I never wanted to leave my car when i went to the bar, but my judgement in retrospect was wrong to take the wheels. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE is the moral here.
IT's been 15 years and sober as a bee, thanks to the new nature of seeing the truth of this life.

35 years on the road, not a scratch. I'm pretty sure the trick is, don't run into stuff. :P
I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.
Been on the road for work for 45 years now, a few minor bumps but have only written off one car and unfortunately it was Mrs Lagonda beloved Triumph. No injuries from the impact but when I got home...............
And a tip from my speedway days, when your sliding down the track on your roof its a waste of time putting your foot on the brake.
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
That also goes for short air flights. If the wheels aren't touching the ground it doesn't help to have both feet pressing the brake hard to the floor.
I should have installed the air brakes. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Mr. blackcat, just wanted to ask. how are the ford fusion performance. I like the looks of the newer models, but don't know anyone who drives one. what's your take on gas milage and comfort level ?. Does it make a good tech car ?.

It's definitely not a truck, but it's comfortable and reliable. At 110K all we've done is tires, brakes, and oil changes. It accelerates well when you need it to. The only criticism I might make is at low acceleration there is a brief hesitation in which the car slows, then picks back up. It doesn't happen every time, and it's subtle enough that I haven't asked to have it addressed. I'll wait until there is a real problem.
I get 30 MPG all day long. If it had a little more space I'd find a way to fill it, I'm sure. =^..^=

The hesitation is probably the CVT that is often in most modern cars.
I rented a Toyota Corolla last summer, while driving on the highway at 75mph at <1k rpm getting 65mpg, seemed like the car wasn't even running. Suddenly having to accelerate from lower speeds to highways the rpm would almost always jump way up but drop way down once getting up to the speed. It can make the car seem like it's never going to change gears either.
CHEERS!
