I would like to thank everyone for their replies. This weekend, I'll take a seat in car in the driveway and see what I can learn.

Bought a 2019 Fusion Titanium for my wife to replace her 2010 Fusion SEL. The sync on the 2010, which I only use for Phone and bluetooth audio is functional but has some issues. The new car has the newer sync and it is the worst most un-intuitive SW I have ever used. Felt like punching the screen after 10 minutes of frustrating interaction with the unit. You try to put a known hotel name as POI in for a distant destination and although it's one of maybe 5 hotels in that town, all you get is names of unrelated businesses in other towns. Ford makes you stare at their low screen so you are sure to swerve and kill yourself and others. It might be quicker if for the next model car they would locate the screen next the brake pedal just to speed up the inevitable crash. Couldn't figure out voice commands to find past destinations. When you shut the car off to get gas, you loose the destination. My 8 year old garmin remembers if you temporarily shut it down and has a previously found menu. Any reason why you can't say redial to call the last number. Every phone I have owned in the last 20 years had a redial button. Hello programmers - ever use a phone? Just getting started. Hopefully it will get better with use. I did find commands that were not listed where I could say state "name", city "name"... to enter addresses. Had no luck getting the SW to understand the entire address the way they recommended it be entered. Is there an instruction manual for this thing? Sorry for the rant but when Consumer Reports said it was better I believed them. I

My 2010 Fusion 2.5L was acting up over the weekend. It started to hesitate and then the wrench light came on. Also got the check engine light intermittently. This happened a couple times over the weekend. Figured I'd run a vehicle health report to see what info it gave me. 1st time I ran it, it said everything was fine (the wrench light was out when I ran the report). Car coasted to a stop on my wife and 3 year old daughter while they were driving on the highway. Had to pull to the side of the road and restart the car to clear the problem. (Sounds like a great safety feature they've incorporated). Then I later ran the report when the check engine light was on and it gave me the ever so helpful information that is printed in the owner manual. Looks like just another Marketing idiot at Ford wanted something to add to his slide show. All bells and not even a good whistle. Couldn't they have given me 1/2 a code or something? No - that would mean their service departments might be out the $70 diagnostic fee to read the computer. Just bought this car 1 month ago with 20K miles on it. Already replaced the alternator now this. Looks like I'll be dragging down Ford Consumer Reports Rating on my next survey.
