NHTSA Complaint #10633146 — 2006 FORD FUSION

AS REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES THESE TRANSMISSIONS BEGIN TO SLIP VERY BADLY. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ALMOST 90% OF THE TIME HOT OR COLD AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP LEAVING YOU HANGING OUT TO DRY(THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS)...WHEN DOWNSHIFTING SOMETIMES AROUND 20MPH THERE WILL BE A LOUD BANGING UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE AREA...THE TSB WAS ISSUED WAY BACK IN 2007 REGARDING ALL THESE ISSUES BUT NO RECALL...THE FLOOR MATS WERE RECALLED? BUT NOT THIS ISSUE. ALL OVER THE INTERNET YOU SEE THE INSANE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE DUE TO THE AISIN TRANSMISSION THEY USED....SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MULTIPLE MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES WITH SAME TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS. THEY SAY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION "VALVE BODY" OR AKA CONTROL ASSEMBLY...ITS ONLY $2,000 IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY BURNT UP THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION THEN ITS $4-5K. *TR
