Car jolted then went in to like a first gear with high rpm. All gauges went to zero and all dashboard things stopped, including radio. Put in neutral, all gauges returned to normal and all lights functioned. Put back in drive and the same issuer with gear, speed, gauges, etc. Returned. Back in neutral so i could use hazard lights but then the entire car shut down. Had to tow to a dealership where the are telling me…

Several times over the past 3 years my 2007 ford fusion se v6 would suddenly lose power. Engine would remain running but vehicle would not accelerate. Wrench light and engine light would illuminate when this occurs. Solution is to pull over and shut car completely off for 30 seconds and restart. Sometimes this would work for a few minutes or several 1000 miles before repeating again. I have had the car into the ford…

When speeding up to pass someone on the highway the car revved up to almost 6k rpm and jerked violently into the next gear. The wrench light came on shortly after and the car was parked. The next morning the light was off until a short trip to the mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic diagnosed the car and got 2 error codes. Both showing transmission failure. *tr

I was driving to houston from san antonio on i10 and going the speed limit. Shortly after starting my drive i was shocked by a slight jerk and a "wrench" symbol appear. I was in the center lane and hardly had any acceleration to move off the road. Eventually, i was able to get to the side of the highway, turn off my car and turn it back on. It allowed me to drive about 5 min before happening again. I ended up…

Upon driving the speed became erratic and the car slowed down very quickly requiring me to pullover quickly for fear of a rear end collision. At that time i saw the wrench light on my dash. I feel that is a hazard that should be corrected under the warranty or as a recall from ford company. The wait for parts is almost a month, ford should give a loaner car as i am afraid to drive my car in traffic. Thank you *tr

Throttle body issue - confirmed since i just spent $930.00 at the ford dealership to replace. Wife got in car at mall. First car would not start loose contact on terminal. She called me i jiggled wire, car started but you could push the pedal all the way down and only very slight power (wrench light on...). She parked the car as it would only go about 3 miles an hour and i turned it off and restarted the car to see…

After an engine light came on, i took my car to have the code read. The code that appeared was for the throttle body. After doing some research, i discovered that there was a recall for the throttle body for the ford fusion from 2009 -2012. My car was not included in the recall, but my throttle body according to the dealership is "erratic". I feel that the recall on the throttle body may need to be reexamined as my…

Loss of power, car would not go, stuck in busy traffic, shifts very hard transmission slipping. This has happened about tree or four times now. Called dealer they say they are unaware of problem, but it is all over the internet everyone having problems. Took it in but cost me 400 because of course it is out of warranty. Reprogrammed my transmission but now shifts at a higher rpm causing lower fuel mileage. They are…

And most of them had to do with gear shift…

While driving on the highway the engine started to run rough and within a minute the engine quit and couldn't be restarted. Luckily i was able to coast to the side of the highway. The engine had the same fault as identified in nhtsa tsb-13-4-17. The pcm unit failed, causing damage to multiple on-plug ignition coils. I believe that the ford tsb # for this problem is 06-18-15. This is a 6-cylinder engine. I believe…

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…

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…

When i turned it back on, the light was off and the car worked just fine. I looked up the…

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…
