Ford is experiencing the exact same software problem that Toyota is having with its Prius. When the car switches from its fuel saving electronic braking to the more conventional braking, in rare circumstances there is a problematic delay.
So why is one hearing so much about the Toyota Prius and very little about the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrids? Jealousy. Ford can only manage to get a rating of 35 mpg on their hybrids whereas Toyota has a rating of 50 mpg. Over the last 2,007.5 miles I have averaged 60.5 mpg in my 2010 Toyota Prius.
Toyota remains the best when it comes to engineering, quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. When you are standing on the top of the mountain there are simply more people shooting at you.
