WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR GOING UP HILLS. ONCE IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS COAST TO A SAFE STOP, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND WAIT A WHILE TO RESTART IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE GOING 70 + MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT FORD VEHICLES ARE HAVING ALSO INCLUDES THE FUSION NOT JUST THE FOCUS AND FIESTA.
