2006 FORD FUSION Power Train Problems

WHEN I WAS PASSING A CAR ON THE HIGH WAY THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. DEAD IN THE WATER. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNING THE CARD ON AND OFF FIXED THE ISSUE. SINCE THAT IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

AT FIRST I FELT ON PREVIOUS DAY SLIPPAGE AT SLOW UPHILL DRIVING AND SOME STARTS. HUGE BANG LIKE THE BOTTOM WAS FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED. THEN ON JULY 6TH WHILE ON FLAT, DRY 4 LANE AT 50 MPH IT FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP. I TOOK FOOT OFF OF ACCELERATOR AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD IN MY CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I AM IN THE NC AREA TO HAVE SURGERY AND STAYING AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. I AM DISABLED TOO. I CANNOT IN ANYWAY AFFORD TO FIX THIS. I WAS A FORD EMPLOYEE WHEN I GOT THIS CAR. I LOVE FORD. ONLY HEATED SEAT AND LUMBAR PROBLEMS THAT I CAN'T FIX EITHER. I WOULD LIKE A RECALL AND HELP TO FIX THIS. PLEASE. I HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE AND MY CAR...

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP. GOT OF TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE WHEN THERE WAS A SAFE SPOT TO LET THE TRAFFIC BEHIND US GO AROUND. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO GRAND CHILDREN IN THE CAR NOT A SAFE POSITION TO BE IN. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE VALVE IN ASIN TRANSMISSION. CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL NOT HONOR THIS PROBLEM, WHEN THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGHWAY SPEED, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO DOWNSHIFT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD "SLIP" OUT OF GEAR, CAUSING THE RPM'S TO REV UP TO AN UNSAFE LEVEL. TO GET THE CAR BACK INTO GEAR, I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND LET IT COAST FOR A BIT. ONCE THE RPM'S RETURNED TO BETWEEN 1000-2000, IT SLAMMED HARD INTO GEAR AND BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. THIS OCCURS REGULARLY EVEN AT REGULAR STREET SPEEDS, WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE WHERE A DOWNSHIFT IS NECESSARY. THIS COULD EASILY LEAD TO A CRASH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS, BASICALLY IT IS DUE TO VALVE BORE WEAR IN THE MAIN CONTROL. THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE CONTROL BODY WHICH HAS EXTREME SPOOL BORE WEAR. A TSB WAS ISSUED: TSB BULLETIN DATE: FEB 2007 VARIOUS DRIVEABILITY/TRANSMISSION SYMPTOMS - PCM/TCM CALIBRATION UPDATES 3.0L -...

MY FORD FUSION V6 SEL HAS BEEN SLIPPING SINCE 50,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD 2 MINOR TRANSMISSION CHANGES WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS. TODAY ME AND MY KIDS WERE DRIVING ABOUT 20-35 MPH AROUND TOWN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I TRIED PLACING THE CAR INTO LOW GEAR, REVERSE WITH NOTHING HAPPENING. THIS WAS ON A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE CAR FINAL AFTER FORCING ME AND MY KIDS TO JERK FORWARD STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. EACH TIME I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR TOOK 1-2 MINUTES TO RISE ABOVE 20 MPH. I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY HOUSE WHICH HAS A SMALL SLANT ON THE DRIVE WAY AND THE CAR STRUGGLED JUST TO MAKE IT IN THE GARAGE. THIS WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING DAY OF MY LIFE!!!! THE CAR CLEARLY IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND EACH TIME I LOOK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE SQUEAKED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE PCM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. *TR

WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2006 FORD FUSION IN EARLY 2012. WE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN APRIL WHEN IT HAD ROUGHLY 65,000, WITH A USED TRANSMISSION. IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND NOW WE ARE HAVING HARD SHIFTING AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. THE CAR HAS AROUND 70,000 MILES NOW. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BY MANY FUSION OWNERS, AND FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS IN MY OPINION THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS CAR NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD IN THE CAR. THE 2006 FORD FUSION WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND THE EXTENDED WARENTY EXPIRED, THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD. WHAT MAKES IT SO BAD IS THAT THE CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 46000 MILES. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE US AT LEAST SOME OF THE MONEY THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

I WAS ACCELERATING AS I WAS ENTERING/MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY AND STOPPED WITH A LOUD THUD. AFTER THE SUDDEN STOP, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WAS ERRATIC, MEANING THE RPM AND SHIFTING WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I EXITED AS SOON AS THE NEXT EXIT WAS AVAILABLE. THEN, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, IT WENT "OUT OF GEAR" AND I WAS UNABLE TO PROPEL THE VEHICLE FORWARD. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS DUE TO FORD TSB DUE TO PART OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS DEFECTIVE. REFER TO NHTSA #10021277. IF I HAD BEEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR IF I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE STREET AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROPEL ITSELF FORWARD IN THE MANNER I EXPECT, IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT....

AFTER 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY 2006 FORD FUSION I WAS EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT CAUSES MY CAR TO JERK AND LOCK IN GEAR. THUS, PREVENTS ME FROM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MAIN STREETS. A CAUTIOUS DRIVER IS NOT A GOOD DRIVER. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS NOTHING WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS...FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED ON MAY 29,2012 FOR OUR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND NOT HER. VERY DANGEROUS!! WE DIDN'T KNOW FORD FUSION'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS; WE NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

CAR EQUIPPED WITH AISIN F21 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND THE CAR SLOWLY CAME TO A HALT. THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED AS I TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT WAS ABLE TO GET ME HOME. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT, IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE AND DID IT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED AN NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE BODY. I ASKED IF THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IN OTHER FUSIONS AND THEY SAID NONE THAT THEY KNEW OF. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE FROM THE YEARS 2005-2010. CHECK SERVICE BULLETIN PUT OUT BY FORD # 08-24-1 PUBLICATION DATE NOV. 13...

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING A LOT. I WILL BE ACCELERATING MY SPEED AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD FUSION OWNERS STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOUR TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THERE ARE CARS AT FAST SPEEDS TRAVELING NEXT TO YOU AND BEHIND YOU IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT DOWNSHIFT AT AROUND 35 MPH. DEALER CHANGED FLUID. HELPED FOR AROUND 3 WEEKS AND STARTED AGAIN. TODAY 7/24/2012 TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR ENTERING HIGHWAY RT 78 AT RT 100 AND ALMOST INVOLVED IN A CRASH, HAD TO PULL ON TO SHOULDER TO AVOID IT. FORD CLEARLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE AISIN TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH VALVE BORE WEAR IN THE MAIN CONTROL OR MEGATRONIC. WHY SHOULD CITIZENS BE MADE TO PAY FOR FAULTY PARTS USED IN CONSTRUCTION ? *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR. SEVERAL VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISES WERE HEARD UNDER THE VEHICLE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON A BUSY ROAD WITH SEVERAL CAR BEHIND ME DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN RIGHT INTO THE REAR END OF THE CAR WITH MY 7 WEEK OLD SON IN THE BACK. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOLLOWED THE TSB 08-24-1 RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOW. I WILL NOT TAKE IT ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES. THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. A RECALL IS NEEDED! *TR

PURCHASED 2006 FORD FUSION SEL 6 CYL, NEW. AND ABOUT YEAR AGO STARTING HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. UPON ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25-40, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR, OFTEN MAKING A LOUD BANGING NOISE AND TAKING AWAY ALL ACCELERATION. IN ORDER FOR IT TO GET BACK INTO GEAR, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY LET OF THE GAS AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO BACK INTO GEAR. THIS ALLOWS FOR MINIMAL ACCELERATOR AT BEST WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP. THIS FAILURE OCCURS RANDOMLY EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IF NOT FIXED, THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY GO BAD. DUE TO NO CODES SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER, THAT ON THE FORD BULLETIN IT WAS GOING TO NEED A NEW VALVE BODY, TRANSMISSION FLUSH, AND REPROGRAMMING. THIS IS GOING TO COST ROUGHLY $2200. THE VALVE BODY, FROM FORD, WAS $1400. I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR DUE TO...

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS HARD, REALLY HARD WHEN CHANGING GEAR. THE CAR LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT WILL KICK BACK IN HARD. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER FORD!!! NOW I SEE WHY PEOPLE BUY FOREIGN. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SOFTWARE NOT READING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS ALSO FAILED AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH APPROX. 45,000 MILES ON IT FROM FORD DEALERSHIP. WITHIN A WEEK I WAS BACK AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, STUCK IN GEAR, JERK VIOLENTLY. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR TO DRIVE, ANOTHER 06 FORD FUSION. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS THE WAY I DRIVE. I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LOANER CAR OR ANY OTHER CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN OR OWNED. THEY INSISTED I WAS WRONG. OVER THE NEXT MONTH I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME RESISTANCE. THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TO THE POINT WHERE I WOULD BE GOING 60+ MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED IN 2010, AT THAT TIME I HAD IT REPLACED,...

CAR HAS MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH HARD REVS OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO SLOW BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE CAR SHIFTS SO HARD THAT IT IS GONNA BREAK APART. CAR NOW DOES NOT EVEN REV. REVIEWED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 FORD FUSION AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IT IS HORRIBLE! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE IS NO RECALL AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING PARTS ON THE TRANSMISSION OR THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AS HUNDREDS HAVE SAID THEY DID, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS SHORTLY THERE AFTER! *TR

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. JUST WANT IT FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING BOTH FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

2006 FUSION SEL. 1) IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. APPROXIMATELY 9 INCIDENTS BEGINNING MAY 2009 OF PARKING THE CAR, TURNING OFF THE MOTOR, KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION: 3-4 TIMES THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FOR OVER 48 HOURS; 4 - 5 TIMES WITHIN 12 HOURS.. CAR CAN BE LOCKED IF USING THE SECOND REMOTE-CONTROL KEY, BUT WILL UNLOCK ALL DOORS WITH IN 5 SECONDS WHEN LOCK ON THE INSIDE DOOR IS PUSHED AND DOOR IS CLOSED. HAVE HAD THE ALARM GO OFF 3 TIMES WHEN CAR DOOR IS OPENED AFTER CAR LEFT UNATTENDED FOR 15+ MINUTES, UNLOCKED, WITH KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, BUT ALARM HAS NOT SOUNDED AT ALL TIMES FOR THE SAME SCENARIO. 2) CHROME VENEER ON INTERIOR FRONT DOOR HANDLES WRINKLING AND PEELING. PROBLEM WAS BEGINNING TO SHOW IT SELF WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2011 AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING A LITTLE. I HAD A MECHANIC, WHICH WAS A PREVIOUS FORD MECHANIC, TOLD ME FORD HAD A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR THAT TYPE OF CAR. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE VIN# TO SEE IF MY CAR HAS THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT AS I RESEARCHED IT, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY DEFECT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY OTHERS LIKE THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED FORWARD FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I SUFFERED THE BASIC SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE TRANS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AFTER FREEWAY DRIVING AND HAVING IT SLAM BACK INTO GEAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND NEED TO RE-ACCELERATE. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR I USUALLY CAN GET IT TO RE-ENGAGE IN GEAR WITHOUT CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS BEHIND ME. ONE TIME IT LOCKED INTO A HIGH GEAR AND I ALMOST BURNED UP THE CLUTCH BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHILE I WAS STOPPED I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON APPROX 5 MINS LATER IT HAD RESET ITSELF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME FINE. THIS IS HOW MY COMMUTE IS BASICALLY EVERY DAY NOW, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE WHEN THE WEATHER...

TRANSMISSION JUMPS AT LOW SPEED SOMETIMES, AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR BUT MISSES. IT WILL GRAB ALL AT ONCE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. WE NOW HAVE A RUMBLING LIKE A BEARING IS GOING OUT. *TR

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...

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR BUT THE SERVICE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON! I HAVE ALSO HAD THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION! THESE PROBLEMS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS AND TO HAVE FORD NOT COVER THEM IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE! THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO, DOWNSHIFTING HARD. ANYTIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO PASS, OR SPEED UP IT BANGS AND JERKS REALLY HARD I'VE ALMOST DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF HOW HARD IT BANGS. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE, TO THE POINT MY KIDS ASK ME "MOM, WHAT WAS THAT?" THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF OR WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. LET ALONE HAVING MY KIDS IN THE CAR! I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR-ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND WON'T GO INTO...

THE CAR STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE. IT ALSO SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, MY WIFE WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND SHE HAD TO COAST OFF OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A TRACTOR AND TRAILER QUICKLY APPROACHING. WE ALSO CANNOT GO UP ANY BIG HILLS OR MOUNTAINS. WE HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THIS COST $500. THEY FINALLY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST $4000. WE STILL OWE OVER $12,000 AND DO NOT HAVE THE $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH MAINTENANCE RELIGIOUSLY. *KB

2006 FORD FUSION SEL V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY MY CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY WHEN IT SLAMMED ITSELF INTO GEAR IT MADE A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND I HAVE IT REPLACED. LESS THAN 30 MINUTES OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IT DID IT AGAIN . I HAD THE DEALERSHIP PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND NOW THEY AGREE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS MINE AND THEIR ARE MANY SIGHTS AVAILABLE. WHY HASN'T FORD RECALLED THIS TRANSMISSION. TO AD MORE SALT IN MY WOUND MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS CHOOSING TO USE A USED 2006 TRANSMISSION FROM 2006 FORD FUSION SEL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK SPORADICALLY WHILE IN MOTION. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSS POWER AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,082.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ON RAMP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD GET OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PROCEED FORWARD THE CAR CONTINUED JERKING VIOLENTLY AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CONTACTED FORD NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, THEN I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED TODAY AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. IF YOU GOOGLE FORD FUSION 2006 SEL V6 JERKING DURING ACCELERATION YOU WILL SEE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS. *TR

EARLY MAY 2011 I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 65MPH AND I LOST 5TH GEAR. THEN 4TH GEAR. ON WAY TO DEALERSHIP I LOST 3RD GEAR. WARRANTY COVERED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY CLAIM AFTER A WEEK THEY FINALLY GOT THE TRANSMISSION IN AND INSTALLED BUT THEY WERE WAITING ON A PART FOR IT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION CAME WITH A PART FOR A MAZDA 6 AND WOULDN'T WORK. AFTER TWO WEEKS THEY WERE FINALLY DONE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 09/26/2011 STATING GREAT DIFFICULTY GETTING VEHICLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. ALSO STATED THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF HEAT COMING FROM THE CONSOLE IN TO THE CABIN ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO STATED THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING VERY HARD AT TIMES. FORD CALLED TODAY AND STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL AND THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF PARK BECAUSE THE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYLIONID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON V6 SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION. HARD SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR (SOMETIMES A VERY LOUD BANG). DOWN SHIFTS LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN SLOWING DOWN. *TR

TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR WHEN EXITING THE TURNPIKE AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SLIPPING INTERMITTENTLY FOR MONTHS.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING AT 60,000 MILES. IT WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND SLAM VIOLENTLY BACK INTO GEAR MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS MODELS TRANSMISSION DOING THIS IN OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

TRANSMISSION MISHAP, JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION. TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD CAUSING CAR TO JUMP AND HAVE ERRATIC SHIFTING. FORD AWARE OF PROBLEM, THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS A NEW TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN A $4256.00 REPAIR BILL.

2006 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THERE WERE TSB'S OUT FOR THIS ISSUE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER PAYING $3,408.45 FOR THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, A FEW WEEKS LATER SHE STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY CONCLUDED A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE DURING A PREVIOUS VISIT. *JB

TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT OUT OF A GEAR, CAR WOULD REV UP TO HIGH, THEN TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT VIOLENTLY BACK IN JERKING THE CAR AROUND FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLAM SO HARD INTO GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE( I HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE ACCELERATING AT 45MPH AND AT 65MPH) ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS GOES OFF PROBLEM COMES BACK A FEW DAYS LATER. ONLY SOLUTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. ONCE CAR IS TURNED BACK ON THE GEAR SHIFTER (AUTOMATIC) IS VERY TIGHT TO PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. *TR

I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM MY IGNITION UNLESS I REMOVE A PIECE OF THE SHIFTER ON MY TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AT 67,000 MILES UPON ENTERING HIGHWAY WHERE ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED. UNABLE TO GET TO SPEED CONSISTENT WITH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. AUTOMOBILE IS FORD FUSION, 2006. *TR
