Ford knows of the transmission fluid leak in the cars but ford and nhtsa wont do a recall on them and it is costing thousands of dollars to fix. Ford ran a customer satisfaction program on it but the of course stopped it. I can not understand why the government would allow ford to screw the public on a major repair.

In lower gears / below 3500 rpm, i will occasionally experience a sudden deceleration, and then an abrupt acceleration as the vehicle attempts to make it to the commanded speed. This only occurs when the vehicle is already in motion, most often city streets, occasionally while accelerating onto a highway. I believe this creates a potentially dangerous situation, as a driver may not have the full, consistent…

Engine stalls/shuts down while driving. Check engine light came on. Alarm p2111 came up. Throttle actuator control system - stuck open. My vehicle stalled while turning left with oncoming traffic. It did this 3 times while driving home from work. This is an intermittent issue. I take it to the dealer, they adjust, it works for a while, then occurs again. This is a very dangerous problem.

Loss of power during acceleration, due to transmission not shifting properly. The engine runs at high rpm, but car doesn't move. This only happens after car/transmission has been driven for hour or more. It appears based on internet searching, to be a common problem with 6f35 transmissions in fusions and escapes. This happens mostly on city driving - which after it is on highway speeds is in the top gear. On hot…

Took to dealership today and they can't diagnose because the wrench light is not on right now. Reading post, other owners state light goes on and off until car is drivable. My car just started acting up, but i can't get it fixed since…

This first happened to me on june 1, 2016. My 2010 ford fusion loses power once in a while when driving. A wrench light appears on the dash board and the car starts to slow down, accelerator does not work and sometimes the car starts to shake. You will have to pull over, turn the car off for a few minutes and then turn it off in order to drive it until the light comes back on again. It is very dangerous to drive it…
