Automatic Transmission
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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
