I had my fusion outside in my driveway, planning to go back  
out to run errands, my car was parked and the ignition off for  
about 20 minutes. I got back in my car started the ignition,  
and put it in reverse to exit and be on my way, put it back in  
drive and it rolled backwards same in neutral It appeared to  
have no “shifting” noise from reverse to neutral to drive.  
My car rolled almost off my driveway by itself. In about  
10 minutes I turned the car back on put it into drive and it  
appeared to be in working order but I was fearful this would  
happen again and I called Triple A towing service to have  
them come take the car to my local Ford Dealership in  
Arundel Maine. I spoke with the service manager and  
told him about the problem I was having and asked them  
if they could service my car to see if that would help. They  
found no problems like I had experienced so then they  
serviced lube oil change, etc. and called me to say my  
car was ready to pick up. I have not had any more problems since then, but I am not satisfied that my problem  
was looked into further. I did not receive a “recall” notice on this issue but saw an article in Consumer reports Aug.  
2019 Magazine stating the exact issue I had gone through.  
Their Reference # for a so called recall #19516. Should I  
be worried this will happen again? Let me know any information you can give me on this issue. 8/08/19
