When i go to shift from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, etc, it seems like the car is not registering the change in gears. As soon as i shift and attempt to continue accelerating, the engine will rev up too fast and then drop down and rev up normally. *tr whenever i attempt to use cruise control, going up a hill cause the engine to rev to quick again, shutting off cruise control. My car is 10 months old with just 23,000…

There was a recall on the 2010 ford fusion transmissions. I took the car in on 12/31/10 to automax ford, killeen, tx. They told me that nothing was wrong with it and it is fine. On 3 august 2011 my car felt like it did a downshift while going down the highway. At this point my accelerator fails to work. The car is not in any gear and even when i give the car gas the engine will not rev. I then have to come to a…

This problem is due to a faulty transmission or transmission components, as outlined by ford recall 10b15. The car jerks/slips and it feels as if the gears are not catching upon acceleration. I received the 'recall' letter from ford describing this program, and immediately brought the car to the dealership. They preformed the module recalibration and told me everything was fine. However, 40,000 later, my…

While pulling into traffic, my ford fusion lost power, would not allow me to accelerate and started thrusting forward and jerking and the wrench warning light came on. I coasted to safety, put it into park, turned the car off and waited about 30 seconds, turned the car back on and the wrench light was gone and the car seemed fine. Four days later, the same thing happened again. I took my car to a ford dealership,…

While driving down a very busy road at 45 mph, my accelerator cut out, reducing engine power to idle and causing me to almost be hit by 3 different vehicles while trying to find a place to stop. I had my wife and my infant son in the car. This was unacceptable for a vehicle this new! The maintenance light (wrench) came on..but went off after i shut the vehicle down and restarted, to which the car then ran normal. I…

While driving on the highway, my 2010 ford fusion suddenly slipped gears on its own. The car started to slow down. I was stepping on the gas pedal, the engine was turning but the car wasn't accelerating. I was nearly rear ended. I managed to coast to the emergency lane. I put it in park and turned the car off. I was afraid to continue but thought i would give it a try. The car started ok and accelerated normally.…

Driving on the west virginia turnpike at 65-70 mph when the rpm's jumped above 4 and lost all power to the engine. The engine was still running but had no power from the gas pedal to the engine. Pulled to the far right side of the road as i was going up hill into the truck lane and then eventually on to the berm as the trucks were now running faster than me going uphill. It was the most dangerous driving situation i…

The transmission would seem like it would go into neutral between 1-2 shifts and also on the highway it would sometimes act the same in gear 6. The transmission was changed once by ford. Reprogrammed 4-5 times, and multiple parts changed and still poor performance exist. This vehicle was purchased new from the same dealer that has serviced it and i would like to claim this as a lemon in the state of fl while still…

Own a 2010 ford fusion se with 24v 3.0 v6 with 6 speed select shift transmission. When car was new, had hard shifts, and in mid 2010 ford issues a recall to reprogram these issues. After this repair, dealership stated they ran a load test and the transmission was fine. In late 2010, the hard shifts returned and the dealership "reprogrammed" the transmission. In late june 2011 while on a road trip, received a…

Initially took vehicle to dealer for transmission rough shifting. Tech was unable to find cause and trouble report was left "open" since we wouldn't sign as satisfactorily completed. Second incident was identical to first. Years passed by as we learned to live with the rough shifting. More recently, on interstate highway, car lost power, would only accelerate to 50mph with rpm at 6,000. Ford scanned, concluded…

While traveling at highway speed on a 4-lane divided highway, a slow-moving vehicle merged in front of our fusion forcing a hard braking event (there was somebody coming up from behind in the left lane, preventing a lane change at that instant). The fusion was slowed down to 50-55 mph as the car from behind passed. This allowed a lane change to avoid hitting the car that pulled in front to begin with. However, in…

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…

We had a problem with a transmission leak early on due to a bad seal in the trans axle. It was replaced and all seemed well fro awhile. Then we started to experience problems with the transmission "slipping" between 2nd and 3rd gears. Took it to the dealership and they said it was a "computer problem" that need an update and that it should be ok now. It happened again at a later date. Technician took it for a drive…
