    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…

    I purchased my car on 1/24/10. Beginning in april/may of 2011 my car began to stall without warning. At first it would happen at stoplights. I began to bring it to the dealer who was unable to capture an error code or replicate the issue. They sent me away. It then escalated to stalling uphill going 35 mph on a curvy one lane road. Again, brought it back to the dealer with the same result, no error code couldn't…

    I have a ford fusion with about 30000 miles. I first noticed a hard shift at 10k miles and thought maybe its just a simple fix. I took it in and they reprogrammed the transmission and the service supervisor said that this transmission adapts to the owners driving habits. Well 3k miles later its worse so i take it back and the tech said all the clutches were replaced and two other things were done! I have taken it…

    The area of the heater / dashboard makes a gurgle or sloshing noise at startup and upon acceleration. There is clearly air in the heating/cooling system that could be damaging internal parts. Ford does not currently have a repair for this issue. *tr

    Transmission keeps on lurching forward and dealership cannot do anything about it now. It's a safety issue for me as i almost got into an accident on the street due to huge jump. Transmission keeps on acting up and dealer keeps saying everything is fine and cannot duplicate the other since the time they rebuilt the transmission on my vehicle. *tr *kb

    I own a 2010 ford fusion hybrid. I was pulling my car into my garage to park it. I had slowed my car down very slowly before i pulled into my driveway. The car was "idling" into the driveway. About 5 feet from the wall and 2 feet from where i usually stop, the accelerator slowly pulled down toward the floor. It took me one or two seconds to realize what was happening. During that time, my car moved head on toward…

    Purchased a new 2010 ford fusion se i-4 in october, 2009. I drove the vehicle for 4 months and noticed a water-sloshing/waterfall sound (similar to a dishwasher) coming from the dashboard area upon start-up and low acceleration in cold weather. Took the vehicle to the same ford dealership it was purchased from to perform service. After 5 visits and nearly 1 year later, the issue is still remaining. Ford has issued 2…
