Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING CAR AND BACKING UP FROM DRIVE IT POPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE. IT WOULD REVERSE AND DRIVE SLOW AT LOWER GEAR, BUT NOT DRIVE IN D. MECHANIC SAID GEARS ARE FINE AND NOT TRANSMISSION , BUT CONFIRMED MAY BE SENSOR IN TRANSMISSION. FROM READING SIMILAR COMLAINTS, IT IS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND A POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD. RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE ON SAME MAKE AND MODEL, BUT FROM 2007 - CURRENT. WHY ISNT THE 2006 COVERED? THE AUTO MECHANIC HAS BROUGHT VEHICLE TO 3 DIFF AUTO SHOPS AND PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS A MAZDA ENGINE WITH GERMAN PARTS IN A FORD CAR AND NOT FAMILIAR WITH PARTS. FORD DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ALSO FORD PRODUCT COMPLAINT LINE. ALL THEY WOULD SAY WAS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR 2006 FORD FUSIONS. WHY??? THE AUTO SHOPS INSIST ON REPLACING ENTIRE TRANSMISSION TO WARRANTY THEIR WORK AND CHARGE $2500+ WHEN ALL IS NEEDED IS A PART FOR LESS $. *TR
