Transmission on 2010 ford fusion skips out of gear and clunks into gear at times. Failed to go into gear when i was pulling out onto a busy highway. I had to pull off the road to avoid being hit by the car from behind.near accident. Ford earlier issued a recall on the transmission and re- calibrated the powertrain module. This obviously did not work because of the ensuing accident. I took it back to the dealer and…

In yellowstone national park, i was driving north from canyon village to tower falls. A sign said, "7% downgrade 6 miles all vehicles use lower gear". The ford fusion se v6 with automatic gives the choice of first, which redlines at about 35 mph, or drive, which will shift to 6th gear even on the level at 35mph. I had to ride the brakes for the next six miles. At the bottom of the hill is a pedestrian crossing and a…

I have a 2010 ford fusion which was recalled for the transmission problems. I brought it in for the hard shifts and when put into drive it feels as if the transmission is going to fall out of the front end. They keep telling me nothing is wrong with the car. This is crazy seeing this is a new vehicle with only 5,000 miles on it. *tr

After the car has been unused for 2 or more days, the transmission evidences an engine flair where the gears are disengaged, followed by a very hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gears. Sometimes it also flares between 4th and 5th. This is a safety issue on left turns and when merging into traffic. *tr

When driving the automatic transmission sometimes slips out of gear and goes to neutral. This problem happens from 10-40mph at 0-50% throttle. Loss of power happens between 5-10 seconds and the engine rpms will increase to 7,000 rpms. Depressing the throttle allows the transmission to engage again with an abrupt and hard shift. Accelerating again after this is very slow and sluggish and is believed that the car is…

I purchased a 2010 ford fusion in august of 2009. The car always shifted out of park and into gear very hard, especially after sitting for several hours. I thought nothing of it. Then the transmission began to "flare" between gear shifts. Essentially the car would shift out of gear (into neutral) and then hard shift into the next gear. A ford engineer gave me the term they use "flaring". Ford reflashed the…

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
