I have noticed the same, mine is a 6spd. its not horrible i just notice the slight hesitation at cruising speed steady rpm between 30-45mph. i watch the rpms they never drop. If it gets worse ill bring it in, until then ill just wait for the service bullitin.

I don't even get why a ford fusion driver/owner is a member of a Camaro only forum????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? I would never ever consider joining a ford forum unless I owned one. Sounds like a nothing better to do/get a life type of situation. WTF maaan? Why even mention your fusion unless you wanted to prompt a negative reaction? STUPENDOUS!!!

So you would say IF the car hesitates like that it is likely the Tranny Pump and TC???

Mine.. NO ISSUES yet. But I have not been pushing it over 4000 much at all yet. Only 1200 miles. Wondering if/when I push it the issues will crop up. Hope not! so far so good!

Edit: so far I have only been buying gas with NO EHTANOL... because I have found that the quantity of ethanol varies a lot from station to station and pump to pump within the station depending on the "mix" dropped off by the distributor. Sometimes the mixes are simply OUT OF CONTROL!

Shell Premium gasoline FTW, my 1995 Z28 went 179k miles on only shell premium with no mechanical issues. May she be in peace, wherever she is! (Traded her in for the new SS, and she went to auction)

With the small number of zl1 's out there it seems alarming the number of issues they are having. I was having plans to go straight to the mod shop but warranty might be important for a while.
