2007 FORD FUSION Power Train Problems

I HAVE OWNED MY FORD FUSION SEL V6 SINCE JUNE OF 2009. IN MAY OF 2011 MY AC WENT OUT WITHIN MINUTES OF BEING USED. I HAD STOPPED AT MY HOUSE FOR A MINUTE IN BETWEEN ERRANDS AND THE AC WORKED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I GOT BACK IN TO LEAVE AGAIN THE AC WOULD NOT WORK. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, MY DRIVER SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. NOW IN MAY 2013, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN THE SAME AS THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE TWO BACK DOOR LOCKS HAVE TO BE LOCKED FROM INSIDE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK FROM THE REMOTE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOUD HUMMING SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRES. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A...

IN 2010 THE PCM IN OUR 2007 FORD FUSION WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,300. THREE YEARS LATER WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING A VERY BUSY ROAD, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD BEGIN TO LIGHT UP WHICH CAUSED HER TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. THANKFULLY SHE NOTICED THE BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASH OTHERWISE MY FAMILY COULD'VE BEEN HURT PRETTY BAD IN A CAR ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT DAYS LATER THAT ONCE AGAIN THE PCM HAD DIED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $3,000. FORD STATES THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2007 WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE, THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED BEFORE SEVERAL DEATHS OCCUR DUE TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. THE COST OF THE PAIR IS RIDICULOUS ALONG...

SE V6 TRANSMISSION. WHEN PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY TO GET RID OF A TAILGATER IN THE CITY, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN SHIFTED THE CAR INTO REVERSE AFTER THE OTHER CAR HAD PASSED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT IT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT HAD OBEYED MY COMMAND AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE BEFORE I RELEASED THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THIS RESULTED IN A LOUD BANG SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY MOVING BACKWARDS AT A COUPLE MILES PER HOUR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO. WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS, AROUND 30-40 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT PROPERLY. GEARS GET STUCK AT 40 MPH AND CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND LIABILITY. ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON FOR THIS ISSUE EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS AND/OR MAJOR LAWSUITS FILED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING USING CRUISE CONTROL TODAY GOING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY 2007 FORD FUSION. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I FELT THE CAR JOLT. I PRESSED THE GAS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT IN THE SHAPE OF A WRENCH WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR WORKED JUST FINE. I LOOKED UP THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LIGHT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND IT SAID IT WAS RELATED TO A FAULT IN THE POWERTRAIN OR THROTTLE. I SAW WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2010 MODELS OF THE FUSION. I JUST HAD TO REPORT THAT IT HAPPENED ON MY 2007 MODEL AS WELL. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO GET...

MY TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING FUNNY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON EARLIER IN THE DAY BUT WENT AWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FROM THE GAS CAP AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION TO DUPLICATE. THE CAR'S RPM'S STAY UP AROUND 2000 RPM'S ON A COLD START AND THE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THEY WILL GO UP TO AROUND 3 AND HOLD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT SHIFTS. I DROVE A MANUAL FOR 12 YEARS AND I KNOW THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I SHOWED THE DEALER THE TSB CONCERNING THE RPM ISSUE BUT THEY DIDN'T CARE. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM. I JUST WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVEN'T MADE THEIR VOICES HEARD OR HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE YET. FORD NEEDS...

MY CAR STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS ON ME AND THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON I TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY SAID MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT AND MY CAR IS TO NEW FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BE GOING OUT. *TR

AT APPROX. 85K MILES ON MY 2007 FORD FUSION, THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE ISSUE IN THE FRONT END. THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT A END A WHILE BACK AND HAD A HALF AXLE REPLACED AT 88K MILES. NO CHANGE SINCE AND HAVE HAD MANY COMPONENTS LOOKED AT. TODAY, FORD TELLS ME THERE ARE SEVERAL CODES IN THE COMPUTER RELATED TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NO INDICATOR LIGHT HAS EVER COME ON TO LET ME KNOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. MANY PEOPLE ON THE FORD FUSION FORUM (FORDFUSION.NET) HAD REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE IN MODELS FROM 2006 THROUGH 2010. FORD BARES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SWEPT IT UNDER THE RUG. LETTING PEOPLE DRIVE AROUND WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION, THE COMPUTER NEVER LETTING PEOPLE KNOW AN ISSUE EXISTS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE.. LAST TIME I EVER BUY AMERICAN. *TR

DRIVE SHAFT CARRIER BEARINGS WENT OUT. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. HAVE TO REPLACE DRIVE SHAFT ENTIRELY! COST OF ABOUT 900 DOLLARS. *TR

THE VEHICLE RESPONSE TO THE ACCELERATOR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND ALWAYS DELAYED. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL INTERPRET A SMALL QUICK DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR THE SAME AS FLOORING THE ACCELERATOR. THERE IS ALWAYS A DELAY OF TWO TO THREE SECONDS BEFORE IT RESPONDS AT ALL. THE SAME ACTION CAN RESULT IN WIDELY VARYING RESPONSES OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, APPARENTLY DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR AND ENGINE. THE ACCELERATOR IS VERY TOUCHY AND SEEMS TO USE ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE MOVEMENT. THAT COUPLED WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY SHIFTING TO SET THE ENGINE SPEED AT NEAR IDLE IN ALL BUT FREEWAY DRIVING MAKES MANUALLY CONTROLLING THE SPEED WITHIN 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN NEAR A SHIFT POINT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THE CONSTANT SHIFTING AND REFUSAL TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUALLY CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE ACCURATELY ON HILLY ROADS. THIS...
