2010 FORD FUSION Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2010 FORD FUSION (V-6 ENGINE). FIRST THE CAR BEGAN IDLING ROUGH, WITH THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY SURGING GEARS SHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). ON A SECOND INCIDENT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT IDLE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM BUT CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. ON A THIRD INCIDENT THE CAR LOST THROTTLE WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR. DEALER INDICATED (BASED ON COMPUTER CODES) THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS AND STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 03/20/13*LJ

2010 FORD FUSION SEL. CUSTOMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CONTINUED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.*SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP HARSHLY AND HESITATE ON ACCELERATION. THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE BODY AND SOLENOID BODY WERE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, ONE OF THE TIRES WAS LEAKING AIR, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRACTION AND BRAKES. THERE WERE NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE, THE CD PLAYER DID NOT WORK AT TIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DID NOT STAY IN PLACE, THE GAS OVER FLOW TUBE WAS INOPERATIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL HARD WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE SLAMMED EXTREMELY HARD, IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS BACKWARDS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DRAGGED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD...

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

VEHICLE HAS PROBLEM SHIFTING GEARS, SLOWS DOWN, THEN IT STARTS TO GO. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO FORD 3 SEPARATE TIMES, A RECALL WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE FOR A COMPUTER CHIP, AGAIN HAD THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE IN 09/2011 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT AND ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES...DRIVER REAR SIDE HAD NO PAD LEFT, CHECKED THE THREE OTHER BRAKES PLENTY OF PAD. SURBURBAN FORD SERVICE DESK TOLD ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS GREEN METALLIC, NOT COVERED IN LATEST RECALL. I LOOKED AT THE RECALL NOTICES AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE SAME PROBLEM I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT FROM THE FIRST MONTH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE! *KB

TRANSMISSION SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND REVS PAST 4000RPM, 1-2 & 2-3, ALSO SEVERE HESITATION WHEN SLOW DOWN THEN TRY TO SPEED UP AGAIN (I.E. STOP & GO TRAFFIC). HAS PUT ME IN UNSAFE SITUATIONS REQUIRING DEFENSIVE DRIVING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 4+ TIMES AND EACH TIME ONLY "CALIBRATION". SERVICE DEPT IS VERY HELPFUL BUT HINDERED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S INABILITY TO SOLVE DEFECT. ALSO, WAS GIVEN PRINT OUT OF FORD ADVISING SERVICE THAT THE 2-3 HESITATION IS " DEEMED NORMAL AND IT MEETS DESIGN INTENT AT THIS TIME".100% UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN CAR AS THE GEAR SLIPPING AND OR HESITATION FOLLOWED BY SUDDENLY ENGAGING THEN SPEEDING UP PUTS THE DRIVER IN UNPREDICTABLE CONDITIONS. HAS PUT ME IN NUMEROUS NEAR ACCIDENTS (SPECIFICALLY WHEN MERGING OR CHANGING LANES AND YIELDING TO TURN LEFT). MOST RECENT "FIX" WAS 2/2/12 AND TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPPING, HESITATING, SLAMMING...

1 BOUGHT A FORD FUSION IN AUG. 2011 USED W/15,000 MILES ON IT NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL AFTER I REACHED 32,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THE WHEELS SOUND LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL OFF , IT SOMES SEAM TO JUMP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND STARTING AND STOPPING . I TOOK IF TO A FORD DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE TOLD SERVICE TECH ABOUT THIS HE SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR NEVER TOOK FOR TEST DRIVE. I DID SOME LOOKING ON-LINE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING SAME THING. I READ ABOUT A RE-CALL ON TRANSMISSION CALLED DEALER BROUGHT CAR FROM SAID THEY DIDN'T GET NOTICE . SENT E-MAIL TO FORD NO REPLY. CAN NOT GET ANSWERS FROM NO-ONE . I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAVE WHEELS FALL OFF OR TRANSMISSION FALL OUT. THIS SEAMS TO BE GETTING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND STALLED A SECOND TIME ON WHILE IN ROUTE. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WAS NOT PROVIDING A FAILURE CODE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE THIRD TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT READING A FAILURE CODE BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 03/02/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR WINDOW, WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE DOORS, AND DOOR HANDLES HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE...

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE THROTTLE BODY FAILS PUTTING THE CAR INTO "LIMP MODE". ACCELERATION IS IMPOSSIBLE AND THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. AFTER A SINGLE SEARCH ONLINE FOR "FORD FUSION THROTTLE BODY" NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF SIMILAR FAILURES APPEAR BEGINNING IN APPROXIMATELY 2005. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BUT MAINTAIN ELECTRICAL POWER UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS OCCURRED TO ME WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS MAINTAIN A STOCK OF THROTTLE BODY UNITS TO REPLACE. THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT VERY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF STALLING OUT AND LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY 2010 FUSION (35,265 MI) LOST ACCELERATION. JERKED CAR INTO THE MEDIAN AND PUT INTO PARK, IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN IDLING VERY ROUGH AND ALMOST SPUTTERING TO CUT OFF. THE WRENCH LIGHT DISPLAYED. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND THEN CUT THE CAR BACK ON. I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CARS RPM SHOT UP TO OVER 5000 RPM. IT THEN IDLED NORMALLY AND I MERGED BACK IN TRAFFIC JUST HOPING TO GET IT TO MY OFFICE. I MADE IT ANOTHER 2-3 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIT UP. I IMMEDIATELY CUT IT OFF, RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED FINE. I DECIDED TO GET OFF AT THE EXIT I WAS CLOSE TOO AND PARK THE CAR AS I KNEW I WAS GOING TO CAUSE A MAJOR...

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SHIFTS HARD IN LOW GEARS. FORD HAS REPLACED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I FEAR I MAY CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. RECENTLY A NEW PROBLEM HAS DEVELOPED AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT AND RUNS AT 4500 RPM FOR 20-30 SECONDS. FORD SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG DESPITE ME SENDING A VIDEO OF THE CONSOLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *KB

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2010 FUSION SE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY IN THE LOW GEARS. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD STEALERSHIP. I HAD PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AND NOTICED THAT THE FLUID WAS GREYISH BLACK COLORED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FLUID WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT COLOR. I ASKED THEM TO GET A BRAND NEW QUART OF THE MERCON LV FLUID, AND PROVED IT WAS A DARK RED. I TALKED THEM IN TO REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR FREE. I SWEAR THE DEALERSHIPS LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH TO KEEP FROM DOING ANYTHING FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE STILL SHIFTS FUNNY; IN THE FIRST TWO GEARS IT FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS EVEN THOUGH IT REALLY ISN'T SLIPPING. ITS JUST A CHOPPY SHIFT OF GEARS. THEY SAID THE WAY IT SHIFTS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED THEM TO PUT THAT IN WRITING...

FORD 6F35 TRANSMISSION HAS "DEAD SPOTS", JERKINESS AND HARD SHIFTING SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. AT 56,500 MILES, TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT AXLE AND THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO REVERSE WHEN COLD, SLIPS BETWEEN GEARS, SEEMS TO POP INTO NEUTRAL, RPM SHOOTS TO OVER 4000, SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR SO HARD YOU'D SWEAR THE CAR HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER PERFORMED TSB TO REPLACE THE PCM COMPUTER--DIDN'T HELP. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AS I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALER. THIS IS IN NO WAY A COMPLAINT ABOUT OUR DEALER. THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALWAYS GIVES US GREAT SERVICE, AND ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP US, BUT WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO? THEY DIDN'T DESIGN OR BUILD THIS MONSTROSITY. THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH FORD FACTORY ENGINEERS TO TRY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO ANSWERS ARE FORTHCOMING. WE ARE AFRAID TO STRAY FAR FROM HOME WITH THIS FUSION. IF WE CAN'T JUST GO ANYWHERE WE WANT WITH THE CAR,...

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION 4CYL AUTOMATIC WITH 20K MILES. I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010. I AM EXPERIENCING CHOPPY AND JERKY SHIFTING. WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL SHIFT AND JERK FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY JERK FORWARD. I TOOK THE CAR IN ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T GET THE ISSUES TO REPEAT AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I AM NOW COMPLAINING SINCE I NOTICED THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD IS IGNORING IT. *TR

THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD ON MY 2010 FORD FUSION V6 AFTER ONLY HAVING 45,000 MILES ON IT. ON VEHICLE NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD; A PART THIS IMPORTANT SHOULDN'T FAIL. *TR

THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IN MY 2010 FORD FUSION MOST OF THE TIME IT IS AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED SOON AFTER BUT YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 35 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR WHEN TRYING TO ASCEND A STEEP HILL IT WOULD ONLY GO 10 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY SLIPPED GEARS ON ITS OWN AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AND I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND AT THAT POINT THE CAR THRUSTED FORWARD AND JERKED. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT WAS GONE. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY AGAIN, SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD THAT EVENING ONLY TO GET A PHONE CALL THAT THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I FOUND ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE LEAVING THE LOT. THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS NOR ANY TSBS ON THIS CAR! I SENT THEM A LINK TO THIS WEBSITE...

ERRATIC SHIFTING. SLIPPING CLUTCHES. HOLDS ONTO GEARS WITH NO SHIFT. ACCELERATION HESITATION. EXTREME AT TIMES. TWICE, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE ONTO EXPRESSWAY, THE ENGINE DROPPED TO ALMOST IDLE FOR OVER A SECOND. WHEN THE ENGINE DID CATCH IT WENT TO RED LINE SO QUICKLY HAD TO LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS FURTHER CONFUSED THE TRANS. NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED BUT WAS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE QUICK REACTION OF THE OTHER DRIVERS. SOFTWARE HAS BEEN RELOADED TWICE. NOT ANY BETTER. FORD KEEPS PROMISING A FIX IS COMING. BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY 2010 FORD FUSION TRANSMISSION SEL V6. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. THEY FINALLY DID A REPROGRAM DEC 09, 2010 WITH 8K MILES. THEN COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD 2/15/11 WITH 11K MILES ON IT. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS YET AGAIN AT 16K. I HAVE TO TAKE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ALWAYS TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THE TRANS HAS TO ADAPT TO MY DRIVING AGAIN. WHY IS THE CAR SHUTTING OFF? TRANSMISSION SURGING GEARS, NOT PICKING UP, CAR BUCKING IN THE MORNING WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IT'S BEEN TERRIBLE. I HATE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT MY CAR IS GOING TO DO. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. I'M SICK OF PAYING $30 A DAY FOR REPEATED TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT'S OUT OF HAND AND...

2010 FORD FUSION TRANSMISSION SLIP. HAD SOFTWARE UP DATE DONE DIDEN'T FIX IT. HAD VALVABODY REPLACED DIDEN'T FIX IT AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT AT A REPAIR I WANTED FORD TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION THEY WOULD NOT. THEY REBUILT IT, IT WAS BETTER BUT NOT LIKE I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE. NOW IT IS MAKING A NOISE AGAIN AND THE FORD TECH CAN'T HEAR IT. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PRODUCT MY FUSION IS ABOUT TO BE OUT OF WARRANTEE THEN WHAT WILL I DO I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION EVERY 6MO. *TT

TRANSMISSION IS ACTING VERY ERRATIC. THE TRANSMISSION "FLARES" CAUSING RPMS TO GO UP QUICKLY REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE POSITION. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALMOST AS IF SEARCHING BETWEEN GEARS WHILE MAINTAINING A STEADY SPEED. ALSO, IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY, COMPARABLE TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OPERATING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND THESE ABRUPT SHIFTS CAUSE THE CAR TO WANT TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAIL WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND BEING A FATHER OF TWO LITTLE ONES, WANT TO SEE TO IT THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. FORD DENIES THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS, YET A BIT OF RESEARCH SHOWS THERE ARE MULTIPLE LEMON LAW SUITS AGAINST THE 2010 FORD FUSION. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE HEARD THERE REALLY IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS, AND THOSE WHO HAVE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY IMPROVEMENT. IN FACT, MANY...

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER STATES ISSUES WITH FORD'S G SPEED AUTO TRANS FOUND IN FUSION 2010 MODEL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF GEAR ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS ALSO A BEARING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND A THROTTLE HESITATION WHICH THE DEALER COULDN'T IDENTIFY. *JB

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION THAT I BOUGHT IN JUNE 2009. SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP GOING TO SECOND TO THIRD . UPON HARD ACCELERATION LIKE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND THE RPMS WOULD GO TO REDLINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 11/13/2009 AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. ON 2/23/2010 CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK FOR SAME PROBLEMDEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION. 6/2010 RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD SAYING THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MENTIONED BEFORE.ON 5/24/2011 DEALER REBUILT THE NEW TRANSMISSION. ON 5/25/2011 COMPLAINED TO DEALER SAYING I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.5/31/2011 CAR IS BACK AT DEALER TRANSMISSION WILL...

I BOUGHT MY 2010 FORD FUSION APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO, HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION BROKEN DOWN, REBUILT REPROGRAMMED AND AM NOW BEING TOLD THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. HOWEVER, SEEING HOW I AM THE ONE WHO HAS NARROWLY ESCAPED SEVERAL HIGHLY DANGEROUS COLLISIONS ON BOTH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS I FIND IT REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET STUCK WHILE SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT, USUALLY BUT NOT LIMITED TO 2ND, 3RD & 4TH GEAR AND WILL SOMETIME SLIP GEARS WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOUR TIMES NOW AND AM CONTINUALLY TOLD THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THESE HIGHLY DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION MISFIRES HAPPEN EVERY DAY I DRIVE MY CAR, NO MATTER THE DRIVING CONDITION. *TR

TL-THE DRIVER OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE DRIVER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND RPMS WOULD ALSO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,400. SM.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ISSUE PERSISTS. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR A LOW SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP AND CATCH VIOLENTLY. THE WHOLE CAR SURGES AND JERKS FORWARD CAUSING THE TIRES TO CHIRP. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A DAY WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE CAR COULD LOSE CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FORD REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION IN SUMMER OF 2010 AFTER FINDING BURNT CLUTCH PLATES. FORD HAS NOT REPAIRED THE ORIGINAL ISSUE AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN 7 TIMES. ALSO, EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS SMELLED INSIDE THE CAR THROUGH THE AC VENTS. FORD CLAIMS IT IS LEFTOVER FLUID FROM PREVIOUS REPAIRS, BUT AFTER 6 MONTHS, THE SMELL IS STILL THERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS BRAKING FROM APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE TRANSMISSION BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING YET THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,500.

2010 FORD FUSION TRANSMISSION FLARES AND HARD SHIFTS. HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS INCLUDING LEAKING TRANS FLUID FROM THE LEFT FRONT HALF-SHAFT. RECENTLY THE WRENCH LIGHT CAM ON AT THE END OF A 900 MILE TRIP BUT WENT OFF A DAY LATER. I HAVE HAD A HALF SHAFT, CLUTCH, RELATED SEALS AND BUSHINGS (TOOK 10 DAYS TO REPAIR) REPLACED BEFORE THE CAR REACHED 21,000 MILES. THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH EH 6F35 TRANSMISSION USED IN MULTIPLE FORD CARS AND TRUCKS. FORD COVERED THE COST OF REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONLY PAID FOR A RENTAL BECAUSE I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT PURCHASE. FORD IS AT A LOSS HOW TO FIX THESE 6F35 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND IS DELIBERATELY VAGUE WHEN QUESTIONED. I SPENT $25,000 ON THIS CAR AND AM WORRIED ABOUT IT'S SAFETY AND DURABILITY. I THINK FORD IS HOPING THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT...

I BOUGHT A SLIGHTLY USED (IT WAS A DEALER AUTO) 2010 FORD FUSION SEL. SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2010, I HAVE EXPERIENCED VERY JERKY AND UNEVEN SHIFTING. I EVEN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AFTER OWNING IT FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK, BUT THE DEALER MONACO FORD IN CT TALKED ME INTO KEEPING THE CAR, SAYING THAT IT IS DIFFERENT TYPE OF ENGINE (6 CYLINDER) THAN I WAS USED TO. BUT IT FELT WRONG AND ALWAYS HAS. THEN, I GOT A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL OR SERVICE NOTICE NOTIFYING ME OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR. IT CAME FROM FORD AND I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I DID, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. I LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT, BUT OVER THE PAST MONTH, THE CAR HAS BECOME WORSE AND WORSE - SHIFTING HAS BECOME SO JERKY THAT I EXPERIENCED SEVERE JOLTS AND...

TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT AROUND 20,000 MILES. AFTER IT WAS REBUILT THE CAR HAD NO POWER SO THEY REPROGRAMMED IT FOR THE 6TH TIME WITH THE THIRD DIFFERENT PROGRAM. NOW DRIVES WORSE THAN EVER. ROUTINELY SHIFTS BETWEEN 5000 AND 6000 RPM. GAS MILEAGE HAS DECREASED. I WAS TOLD THE NEW PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE CAR SHIFT HIGHER SO THE CLUTCH DOESN'T BURN OUT AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE IT SLIP INTO NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS BETWEEN 1-2 AND 2-3 CAUSING AN ACCELERATION DELAY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE JUST REVS AND THEN A SHUTTERED LURCH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO THE NEXT GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR, WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE AND ALL IT NEEDED WAS A REPROGRAM. NOW I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE, I'M TAKING THE CAR BACK IN AND I'M DISMAYED TO HEAR THAT EVEN IF THEY NOW REBUILD THE TRANS, I'LL STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM AS FORD DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP 'YOU CAN BRING IT IN AND WE'LL CHECK IT OUT BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN FIX IT.' NHTSA HAS TO STEP IN, FORD OWNERS ARE IN JEOPARDY. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION 6000 MILES EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES SINCE 3000 MILES. DEALER SAYS THEY DON'T NOTICE ANYTHING AND NO TSB'S BUT THERE ARE TONS OF WEB POSTS ABOUT DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS AND RECALLS NOTING THE SAME ISSUES, HARD SHIFTING , DELAYS, ETC. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING PROBLEMS IN 2010 FORD FUSION, 4 CYL, 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 12,000 MILES BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE NOW HAS 36,000 MILES AND SHIFTS ERRATICALLY ON A RANDOM BASIS. TYPICALLY VEHICLE MUST BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 8 MILES BEFORE PROBLEMS OCCURS. COMMON PROBLEM INVOLVES 1-2 SHIFT AND 2-3 SHIFT. TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD OR WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. FORD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTERS INDICATE TRANSMISSION IS OPERATING PROPERLY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DANGEROUS CONDITION PRESENTED WHEN VEHICLE DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC, UP HILLS, AND WHEN ENTERING INTERSTATE SYSTEM. *TR

2010 FUSION SE L2.5L FWD-TRANSMISSION LEAKS OIL AT THE DRIVER SIDE HALF SHAFT SEAL. ITS ZERO OUT AND & THE GROVE BOX MANUAL HAS NO SUB FREEZING PROCEDURE TO CHECK THE ATF. AFTER 2 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP I CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY TSB'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SOME GOOGLING I FOUND 6 OR SO TSB'S ON THIS 6F35 TRANSMISSION AND MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS CHRONICLED IN FORUMS. EVEN FORDS OWN FUSION FORUM HAS MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION. FORDFUSIONFORUM.COM. *TR

FORD FUSION 2010 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE - CAN NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO WORK PROPERLY - HARD SHIFTING - LURCHING FORWARD - TRANSMISSION TRIPPING OVER ITSELF LIKE A 13 YEAR OLD CAR AT 1 MONTH - 2 MONTHS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS - 3 MONTHS LURCHING FORWARD AND NOT MOVING WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE - 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE BLUE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AS IF A WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. AT 6 MONTHS OLD THAT CAR IS BEHAVING MECHANICALLY WORSE THAN A 13 YEAR OLD CAR - THIS CAR IS UNSAFE - SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT DUMPING IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS A LEASE. 31,000 KM IS WHEN THE VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS BEGAN (OUT OF THE BLUE). *LN

I AM EXPERIENCING CHRONIC SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE 6F35 TRANSMISSION. THIS TRANSMISSION SUFFERS FROM SLIPPING GEARS, SHIFT FLARES, HARSH SHIFTING, AND FUNNY SHIFTING THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY AN UNCONTROLLABLE FORWARD LURCH. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT MY VALVE BODY FAILED AT 3,744 MILES AND PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND SOLENOID ASSEMBLY. THEN AT 4,526 MILES I HAD THE RECALL 10B15 POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING PERFORMED ON MY CAR. NEXT, AT 4,727 MILES THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TRANSMISSION LOAD TEST. AT 9,181 MILES THE DEALERSHIP VERIFIED MY SHIFT FLARING PROBLEM. THEY REFLASHED MY PCM WITH AN UPDATED SOFTWARE PROGRAM. TRANS TECH DROVE VEHICLE AND THE TRANS CONTINUED TO FLARE. THE DEALER THEN REMOVED MY TRANSMISSION AND MOUNTED TO THE BENCH FOR OVERHAUL. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT MY VALVE BODY HAD 3 MELTED BOLTS, MY VALVE BODY WAS DAMAGED, AND THAT MY CLUTCHES HAD BURNED...

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION WITH 13K MILES ON IT, THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDING ME WITH TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HEARTACHE. THE VEHICLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLIP INTO RANDOM GEARS WHILE DRIVING, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF SHIFTING FROM 6 GEAR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST. I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-17 IN ARIZONA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 75MPH WHEN FOR THE SECOND TIME IT SLIPPED ALL THE WAY IN TO 1ST GEAR. BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY SPEED DECREASED SO SUDDENLY I WAS ALMOST REAR END AT 75MPH. I AM ACTUALLY FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE, WHO PRIMARILY DRIVES IT, AND MY SON SAFELY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN BEFORE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH WILL REVEAL THAT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT INDIVIDUAL...

ON OCT 24, 2010 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75-80 MPH (LEFT LANE) OF A MAJOR FREEWAY, TACHOMETER REVVED TO 4,000 RPM AND STUCK THERE. VEHICLE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN AND TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO BE SLIPPING IN 6TH GEAR. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT 27,522 MILES. MANAGED TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD, WHERE RPM'S RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR IDLING CONDITION. AT THIS POINT, THE LITTLE "WRENCH" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESET THE CODE. ALL APPEARED WELL, AND I PROCEEDED TO RE-ENTER THE FREEWAY. AT APPROXIMATELY 27,533 MILES (11 MILES LATER), THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON JUNE 14, 2010 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (PROGRAM NUMBER 10B15) WAS PERFORMED ON VEHICLE (MILEAGE: 19,936 MILES).

I HAVE A 2010 FOR FUSION THAT WAS PART OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ,WHICH HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SLOW DELAYS OF ACCELERATION AFTER PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. TWICE I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHERE MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RPM WAS STUCK AT 4 WITH A SPEED OF 60. THE CAR FINALLY SWITCHED GEARS, BUT THE CAR THEN RACED FORWARD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK FOR THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. I HAVE AN APPT SCHEDULED ON 12/13 WITH THE DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPING GEARS ABNORMALLY.

WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE APRIL, 2010 PURCHASE DATE, WE NOTICED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN OUR 2010 FORD FUSION (6F35 TRANSMISSION) ON A COLD START, NAMELY ROUGH SHIFTING, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, ENGINE REVVING EXCESSIVELY BUT THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING, AND THE VEHICLE LURCHING FORWARD BEFORE SLAMMING INTO GEAR. NORMALLY, AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS, THE TRANSMISSION SMOOTHES OUT AND WE DO NOT EXPERIENCE FURTHER PROBLEMS THAT DAY. HOWEVER, ONE EPISODE, WHICH RECENTLY OCCURRED AFTER WE HAD DRIVEN THE CAR CONTINUOUSLY FOR 180 MILES, LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT WE SIMPLY CANNOT TRUST THE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT US SAFELY. WHEN WE TOOK OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE CAR SLAMMED INTO GEAR. WE WERE LUCKY TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM THE REAR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPAIR ATTEMPTS--INCLUDING PCM REPROGRAMMING, REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY, AND...

MY 2010 FORD FUSION SEL IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE FIRST TIME WAS BASED ON MY OBSERVATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE REVERSE GEAR. THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING. THEN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER WE RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO FIX A REVERSE ISSUE--SURPRISE! 2ND VISIT TO SERVICE. SINCE THEN, THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD HARD SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD (AROUND 25 MPH) AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SLIPPING. WAS IN SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR 5 DAYS BUT "THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM", CAR RETURNED AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. TODAY, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE ON THE ROAD, STARTED TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND "SHUDDER" AND THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION REFERENCE ODI # 10351655 SINCE THE FIRST REGISTERED COMPLAINT OF ROUGH AND ERRATIC SHIFTING (ODI 10351655) MY TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER WHERE WE ARE WAITING REPAIR SAID HE HAD NOT SEEN ONE IN SUCH A PHYSICAL STATE, ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE MELTED WAS MELTED. FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANMISSION AS IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR RECREATIONAL TOWING. THE UNIT HAD BEEN ADJUSTED AND "FIXED" TWICE BEFORE ACCORDING TO FORD SPECIFICATIONS AND THE INFORMATION IN BULLITEN (FORD TSB 09-20-13) WAS FOLLOWED. WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 62 MPH THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND BECAME TOTALLY DISABLED. IF WE WEREN'T TOWING THIS VEHICLE SECURELY BEHIND A MOTORHOME BUT RATHER DRIVING AT THAT RATE AND THE CARS TRANSMISSION SELF-DESTRUCTS WHAT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO LIFE AND PROPERTY MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED???? THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION IS NOT THE ONLY ISOLATED INCIDENT! OTHER DEALERS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR...

2010 FORD FUSION. HARD SHIFT WITH SECOND GEAR, TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND RECALL WORK DONE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. THE CAR REMAINED WITH HARD SHIFT IN SECOND GEAR AND HIGH PITCH SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, HEARD IN THE VEHICLE ANY TIME OVER 100 RPMS. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE CAR BACK 2 DAYS AND THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE IN SECOND GEAR THIS MORNING FOR 2 SEC. LOUD SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME BACK TO THE SHOP IN LESS THAN A MONTH FOR THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

2010 FORD FUSION SE, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS JERKING SLIPPING THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP. FIRST TIME THEY PUT A NEW PART ON WHO KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON NOW. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR NOT A CAR WITH REBUILT ITEMS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNFAIR. FORD DID WELL THIS YEAR OFF THE HARD EARNED MONEY OF AMERICANS AND THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR THE UNPROFESSIONAL AND DOWN RIGHT NASTY WAY THEY HAVE TREATED THIS PROBLEM. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEAR. *TR
