FORD RECALLS FUSION TO FIX SELF-PARKING SOFTWARE GLITCH

Ford announced today that it will recall an undetermined number of Fusion sedans, the automaker's hottest-selling vehicle.  Other than the F-150.  Oh, and also the Focus.   

A 2014 Fusion passes an available parking space. The owner said the car
then parked itself in a disabled space down the block and wouldn't move

According to Ford spokesperson Edel "Don't Call Me Edsel" Bognog, some customers have reported a problem with the car's Active Park Assist feature, which is designed to automatically parallel park the vehicle with no input from the panic-stricken driver. 

"Rather than doing what it's supposed to do and maneuver into the parking space, the car ignores that space and finds an easier one a few blocks away," explained Bognog.  

One Ford engineer said they don't yet know what is causing the problem but that "something under the dash sure smells like burning plastic."
