Have a 2012 sport awd. Love the car. Came with a few issues. Both front bearings were changed, front struts, breaks, and fan blower. Transmission was also an issue (at least I thought it was). Brought the car to Ford because I thought there was a problem. Transmission with jolt from first gear to second. Then slip when going uphill. Always had power just would do those specific things. Ford diagnosed the car and said I needed a new transmission. Other mechanics said the same thing. So I decided to start shopping for a shop to do the job because Ford wanted way too much. Before bringing my car to a mechanic my friend came over and we started talking about the issue. He told me to pop the hood and check the transmission oil. When first checking the dipstick the oil appeared at level. But he told me to start the car put the car in each gear for about 3 seconds put it back in park, then check the oil level. Upon doing so I learned that my transmission oil was very low. This was the correct way to check a transmission proper oil level to indicate whether it needs fluid or not. Long story short I added the transmission oil and now my transmission is running like brand new. No sleeping and no clunking. I saved myself 3,600 dollars. If you have a fusion please take the steps before bringing your car to the mechanic. Thank me later
@@XxKINGxPINxX420 hey man did you ever get good results from that? My car just started having the same issue. I drive a 2010 ford fusion with 149000 miles
You gotta also realize the sport awd came the the aw21 aisin tranny and not the 6f35 like the other models have so what I’m sayin is the Aisin is a whole lot better usually doesn’t have any problems
That was the sound of an automatic transmission torque converter in limp mode being burned out because the computer refuses to let it lock up with the transmission input shaft. It's caused by the transmission shift solenoid power supply wires being burned out and shorting. They are located in the out edge of the valve body section of the transmission and are part of the electronic brain of the transmission.

yes having the same problem with my 2010. seems to happen the most when engine is colder. love the fusion. i have a 2007 with 218,000 miles and never any problems. gave it to my son and bought the 2010. thinking about trading the 2010.
I have a 2012 SEL with the 2.5. I have to tap the gas to switch gears to give the clutch packs some time to shift. Two weeks into driving the car like normal and I get the wrench icon and it went into limp mode. I now use overdrive (hill Climb assist) to manually give it power and switch it off when I need to change gears. Quite chaotic but I love it. It’s fun to drive that way cause I’m instantly able to control the power and fuel usage!
Yesterday, went to a Ford dealer about a 2010 Fusion as I'm looking to replace my 2002 Honda Accord EX. Really like the new, German styling of the 2010 version versus all prior year's. The 2010's on the lot looked as good in person as in photos but after reading of numerous consumer complaints regarding the transmission slip and now seeing your video, am thinking of holding onto my Accord or of just buying a newer one with IT'S new styling. Thanks. Thought Ford was past "Fix Or Repair Daily."
No, the transmission was not ruined by the previous owner. It's a design flaw. It is quite possible the previous owner, not knowing how to get rid of it, stopped paying the bills. The transmission would fall under the lemon law.
I have an 2011 2.5L with for over 6 years and over 170,000kms and zero issues and two parts replaced(drivers window motor it was frozen when i tried to put it down and drivers front strut spring the roads around here are shitty now the door handle no big deal to me) i can tell you that it has been the absolute best car. I'd buy another tomorrow. I have owned 5 general mistakes, never again they sucked my wallet dry. My car was dealer maintained so i wonder when i hear about these issues is proper maintenance being performed or did i get a good one. I always wonder, I love my fusion. good luck

I really liked the older cars that my family did own. 1995 Lincoln Town Car(Grandma). 1995 Ford Crown Victoria(Grandpa), 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis(My mom-was Grandma's). All three got to almost 300,000 miles with not one major problem and were all driving fine when sold to teenagers in the Church for a cheap first car-$400. They were wrecked shortly after the sale and are now scrap.
Yes...I have the same problem with my 2010 Ford Fusion, 2.5L 6-speed automatic, I brought it to the dealership 5 timesa already, finally today they told me they were able to duplicate to problem, it was intermitent, would only happen some of time and not others. It would slip like crazy, feel like its not even in gear sometimes, i was hitting the "rev-limit" quite a few times, but the PCM wont allow it to rev into the red-zone, it is a build in fail-safe, it will automatically decelerate.
We have a 2010 Ford Fusion SE 4 cyl. We are the original owners bought new in Oct. 2009. The car has about 26,500. We received one recall for the transmission in June, 2010. Took to the dealer for a computer chip reprogram. Last month it started to seem like the trans was starting to slip badly. Then this (exactly what is happening in the video). We took it to the dealer, it's still at the dealer. We have had the car back for only about a day and a half in the last month. We get it back and it
Mine did this in reverse it if tap the gas and it would red line and go nowhere. In drive it would go but clunk and jerk. I had the entire transmission replaced under warranty. It's been 2 weeks now and still don't have the car because the transmission needs reprogramming. Has anyone ever heard of a transmission needing reprogramming?
My fusion did the same thing. It’s the throttle i took it to my local ford dealership and they fixed it for free because its a recall on all Ford Fusions.
I know I'm late to the party here, but I have a 2010 Ford fusion and the electrical system went completely nuts about 4 months ago. the car started idling high. a week later an ignition coil caused a misfire, so I replaced it. Then a few days after that the automatic transmission wouldn't shift in to drive when I was at a stop light until I put the gas all the way to the floor, then suddenly it would slam in to gear. long story short. the transmission was replaced, but the idling issue remained. come to find out the source of my whole issue was the mass air flow sensor. it was sending faulty signals to my powertrain control module which caused my transmission to have no idea when to shift. cars are just way too complicated these days.
C.J. Price Hows the fusion running these days? How expensive was the transmission replacement? Im just about to buy a 2010 FF hybrid so I am doing my research.
@giannial1985 That's actually wrong. The Transmission is a Ford 6F35 Transmission, not a Mazda one. The 6-Speed Manual is a Ford one, but the Automatic is not. You are right about the 2.5L Engine and the Chassis being Mazda, though.
I have a question. I have a 2010 ford fusion S 2.5L, transmission was acting funny yesterday. Put the tester on it and it came back saying Solenoid B stuck off.. I have the little wrench light on my dashboard too. Is there a part number for this? Called ford and they say they need more info in order to order what I need. the say they don't list parts by solenoid A,B C etc. BS, he knew what i was talking about, just being an ass
You know, I don't know if this will help, but check out the mounts/lifters, we have the same problem on our 99 odyssey, it does the same exact thing, when you shift it into gear it chugs, and when you start accelerating it does that, and it slips between gears (feels like you got it in neutral).
I had a 2010 fusion sport with no tranny issues as it had what I believe was an Allison trans... I do beleive those transmissions are better. That car was totaled, and replaced with a 2012 SEL 3.0 V6. That thing was a POS. The transmission would slip from 1st to 2nd and I brought it to 2 independent shops and then eventually Ford. All of them told me nothing was wrong. I took it upon myself to replace all the solenoids, valvebody, and it still shifted roughly but not as bad. FINALLY, I did a transmission relearn and it slowly corrected itself. However, every 5-6 months I have to relearn the tranny cause it will start slipping again. Fords adaptive shift points are what make these transmissions suck. I also owned a 2015 fusion and it didn't shift any better. Will never buy another ford vehicle again. Which sucks because they are the only manufacture that has option AWD in their sedans and I don't have the needs to have a huge SUV.
@gusherb94 Umm... did you actually read what I said? Almost all of the comments I've read over various videos with people experiencing this same thing have said that once Ford updated the computer, and fixed any major problems caused by the issue in the first place, their cars worked fine.
What I dont get is the 6L60-E in the Malibu was is practically the same transmission as this 6F. But the 6L60-E is doesnt have many wide spread problems, if any. So why does the Ford version?
my ford fusion slips just a little bit which after a while, the whole engine shakes and I've got to pull over and turn the car off for 10-15 seconds and start up again so I hope that it doesn't get any worst then what your car is doing.
Erratic Milliken I have one, as well. It's doing the same thing. It's the the transmission control solenoid in mine...about $60 for the part. Prior to changing the solenoid, I tried cleaning the throttle body, which was cheap and probably a good thing, but it didn't fix the problem. Hope this helps.
Bad transmission. I had that happen in my 500. Throw it in neutral till you feel it’s in gear and put back in gear. It’s loosing it’s spot in the gears. It’s an expensive fix but once it’s fixed it drives amazing.
They told me they were going to send it out to a transmission shop and that my warrenty should cover it. It would slip out of gear and get hung up, and sometimes on quite acceleration at highway speed it would "hang' for a few seconds, i would often feel vibrations through the accelerator pedal, and would vibrate on occasion when i put it in reverse or drive gears, and feel pulsations and waves of vibrations in park.
my car is the same as the one on the video yesterday start acting like this i change the transmission fluid i take it for a drive today while the engine is cold it wont shift to the second so i slow down the gear kick ( loud kick ) then it run normal i dont know what gonna happen when i drive it tomorrow
bough a used 2010 Fusion last year for cheap from company I work. a few months ago it started doing this and a few weeks later the reverse went out. my mechanic said that Ford sudan transmissions from 2006-2012 are pure garbage and he has seen many come in. $3,500 to replace . Ford knew they were garbage and offered a "customer satisfaction fix" instead of a recall and it was only good until 2011.
This does seem like it's more likely that it's something to do with the throttle. The drive by wire system could also be involved, it may not be sensing the peddle position correctly/consistently or the computer that controls the throttle may be bad, either of which would explain why the engine speed is so erratic.
A: your transmissions blown, B: you don't floor it that way what so ever and C:. I heard you say it was re-possessed so you should've asked for its history, it's pre-owner very likely abused it!!
This is actually a common problem in most ford fusion due to the split case transmission and the filter being practically not serviceable. That being said the fusion uses mercron LV a lighter thinner transmission fluid and requires you to change (flush it) every 30,000 miles- A big pain in the ass... supposedly you can tune up the transmission by having someone tweak it with a computer.
@@Davido50 actually look up any ford fusion forum this is a big issue at least with the 2010 ford fusion. Transmission is just junk off the lot especially being that you have to drop the whole thing to service a filter- by that time most people just swap it with a better transmission. Great video maybe people should do some research before dropping a comment speaking for everybody!
Funny I have a 2011 ford fusion sel FWD 3.0 L v6 with a 6 speed auto. Seem to have slow acceleration from 1st to 2nd but it cluncks a little bit when it shifts to 2nd gear. Also noticed that when turning it seems to jerk really hard from 1st to 2nd anyone els have this issue and figured out their problem?
had the issue sometimes but i never had anything go wrong with the car after owning it for a few months. i would have some jerking going up gears and sometimes down the car would jerk but i never thought anything of it. found out my car ran bone dry on some transmission fluid and i started to get this issue. car wont drive but after restarting it sometimes it will drive and kick into gear especially after leaving it off for a night. currently dealing with this issue now and pray it is just a fluid issue and not a blown transmission.
Get the lifters checked, that's what could be the problem we have a Honda Odyssey which is the same story, chugging when you put it into R or D, trouble in shifting because it slips, and does that slamming chugging thing right when it shifts or when you take off, Same thing. get the lifters checked out. We were told that would be the problem.
I hope you did not drive that car in this condition for very long because if the transmission was not bad before, it is now due to the slippage. These cars have a defective valve body that causes loss of hydraulic pressure on the forward clutch. This also being a CVT transmission means that when it starts to have problems it will remain problematic and is very expensive to replace. Could be why you bought it at the auction lol.
It’s not a cvt. It’s a six speed automatic. He was definitely sticking his foot deeper in the throttle than he should have been considering he knows it has a problem.
@DoorisJ 55000 miles huh? How often have you been changing the transmission oil, the timing belt, the motor oil and oil filter? Also, when was the last time you checked the engine reinforcement, the bars that keep the engine in place? If one of the bars is loose, the engine can vibrate, even the car, and it will make it sound a lot louder. Oh, and next time, buy a car that's made by one of the countries in the Axis powers during WW2.
For anyone saying this is Ford's quality, I'm guessing this is more of a previous owner issue. They probably treated it like shit to damage it, as it was getting repo'd anyways.
These transmission problems people are talking about is freaking me out. My mom has a 10' ford fusion with about 55,000 miles and the engine has become increasingly loud and the shifts are becoming a little bit rough and taking a bit to long. She still has 2 years of payments though. But she has the gap insurance, maybe i'll park it under a old tree the next tornado warning.
I would flush the transmission and change the filter. Then add new fluid plus 1 qt of Lucas transmission fix and drive it for about 250 miles and pray. If it doesn't fix it. Get rid of it! Ford's can be pretty decent vehicles but their automatic transmission are somewhat weak and do fail if you don't maintain the transmission regularly ever 25 to 30k miles.
It seems most people with this problem had the issue resolved after Ford fixed what all got broke and got the updated computer from Ford to fix this issue.
i recently have the same problem. the wrench light came on and when i press the gas it hardly moves. i shut it off and it stopped doing it for a while now its doing it again
Our 2011 fusion has 10k miles and the transmission acts up, it slips sometimes, it's more noticeable in reverse. It's a company car, otherwise I think it's junk. Took it into ford and they said it was normal.
PCV valve .I have a 06 Ford five hundred that had the same problem .if you disconnect the hot battery terminal for a few minutes and put it back on it will start working for awhile but I had a light on and the code was the PCV valve so I fixed it and it was the reason
I have a 2007 ford edge and I thought the transmission was going to drop lol, would drive if I got it up to 3k rpm's. but it was a speed sensor. it's a 3hour job and a $250 part.
My answer may come late but I will share my opinion hoping that it helps somebody out there. I think the problem may be related to a leak on the driver side axle shaft; Indeed, inside the the case, is a ring called inner axle bearing that wears out against the axle itself leading to fluid leaking like water leaking from a faucet; even the axle seal can not stop this leak. If not caught on time, it is more likely that the transmission will go out. Note: manufacturing problem but they never recalled it. I found that out on youtube.
07 CBR1000RR My fusion was doing this and I had the transmission replaced. Also the cv axle repaired, but my car still chugs and slams. I don't know what else to do.
They rebuilt my transmission on my 2010 fusion and it still slips, delayed shifts, hits rev-limiter when i accelerate hard and fast, slams into gear hard and feel to whole car jolt, and from time to time feel vibrations when tranny is in drive and/or reverse, and vibration on acceleration.
POST RELEVENT COMMENTS!!! No one cares about your opinions!! I am searching all over trying to find out what is wrong with my car, not your views on car manufacturers!
Get it serviced then go from there. Could just be low on fluid. But who knows... Rebuild/replacements on Automatics are a fortune. That's why I have a manual. just see how you go.
1. you are not helping the matter by driving it like that. 2. These cars are will known for transmission issues, look it up on the internet. There is also a few videos on youtube.
Ouch sorry u having so much issues and i thought FORD was stepping up there game with there cars cause FOOD FUSION looks like a nice car, but i do know someone telling me before they had a RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION at some time
same exact thing with my fusion...at 144,000 miles i had to replace the transmission...2nd gear was gone and codes pulled up suggested something internal was failing...the shop couldnt rebuild it so had to put a used one in....ive been told by several mechanics that transmission problems in ford fusions are common ...i have an explorer as well and its insane how many common probs they have....wont own another ford after the transmission thing...who knows whats next..i can probly figure it out or what to expect by lookin on youtube...its bullshit and irritating..just a lil bit..
Well just because you have a snobby BMW doesn't meab you wont have problems, infact you'll probably have quite a few expensive ones once your warranty goes out. I've heard enough people complain about BMWs in my days to know that they have their fair share of issues (and expensive ones at that) too.
Weird... This happened when I delivered a 2001 Accord coupe with my uncle to the warehouse. The engine, ABS, maintenance, and SRS light was on. The cars tranny was gone too and it had a fluctuating idle in Drive and Neutral. Ruined,
The transmission is a GM automatic,Ford purchased them from GM regearing them.If you get to see one out of the car,has turbo hydramatic stamped on the case

the car started idling high. a week later an ignition coil caused a misfire, so I replaced it. Then a few days after that the automatic transmission wouldn't shift in to drive when I was at a stop light until I put the gas all the way to the floor, then suddenly it would slam in to gear.
long story short. the transmission was replaced, but the idling issue remained. come to find out the source of my whole issue was the mass air flow sensor. it was sending faulty signals to my powertrain control module which caused my transmission to have no idea when to shift. cars are just way too complicated these days.
C.J. Price Hows the fusion running these days?
How expensive was the transmission replacement?
Im just about to buy a 2010 FF hybrid so I am doing my research.
C.J. Price simple reflash.
I have a 2009 doing the same thing cost of valve body is 750 bucks any other idea what else
It is the solinoids in the transmission
@giannial1985
That's actually wrong. The Transmission is a Ford 6F35 Transmission, not a Mazda one. The 6-Speed Manual is a Ford one, but the Automatic is not. You are right about the 2.5L Engine and the Chassis being Mazda, though.
Shifting actuator is out from first to second. It help manage shift in the valve body.
I have a question. I have a 2010 ford fusion S 2.5L, transmission was acting funny yesterday. Put the tester on it and it came back saying Solenoid B stuck off.. I have the little wrench light on my dashboard too. Is there a part number for this? Called ford and they say they need more info in order to order what I need. the say they don't list parts by solenoid A,B C etc. BS, he knew what i was talking about, just being an ass
There are no lifters in a transmission. Lifters are in the engine, part of the valve train. I hardly think Honda issues apply to domestic vechicles.
You know, I don't know if this will help, but check out the mounts/lifters, we have the same problem on our 99 odyssey, it does the same exact thing, when you shift it into gear it chugs, and when you start accelerating it does that, and it slips between gears (feels like you got it in neutral).
That is rough... someone really didn't take good care of this car...
I had a 2010 fusion sport with no tranny issues as it had what I believe was an Allison trans... I do beleive those transmissions are better. That car was totaled, and replaced with a 2012 SEL 3.0 V6. That thing was a POS. The transmission would slip from 1st to 2nd and I brought it to 2 independent shops and then eventually Ford. All of them told me nothing was wrong. I took it upon myself to replace all the solenoids, valvebody, and it still shifted roughly but not as bad. FINALLY, I did a transmission relearn and it slowly corrected itself. However, every 5-6 months I have to relearn the tranny cause it will start slipping again. Fords adaptive shift points are what make these transmissions suck. I also owned a 2015 fusion and it didn't shift any better. Will never buy another ford vehicle again. Which sucks because they are the only manufacture that has option AWD in their sedans and I don't have the needs to have a huge SUV.
How do you perform a tranny relearn? TIA
im having the same problem. mkm230 did you figure out what was your problem. im fusion is doing the same thing but not as harsh
@gusherb94 Umm... did you actually read what I said? Almost all of the comments I've read over various videos with people experiencing this same thing have said that once Ford updated the computer, and fixed any major problems caused by the issue in the first place, their cars worked fine.
What was the outcome of this? What was it and did i get fixed?
I know this been a while.. but did you ever find out the reason this was happening???
What I dont get is the 6L60-E in the Malibu was is practically the same transmission as this 6F. But the 6L60-E is doesnt have many wide spread problems, if any. So why does the Ford version?
my ford fusion slips just a little bit which after a while, the whole engine shakes and I've got to pull over and turn the car off for 10-15 seconds and start up again so I hope that it doesn't get any worst then what your car is doing.
My 2010 ford fusion is doing the same thing! Did you ever find the cause of it?
Erratic Milliken I have one, as well. It's doing the same thing. It's the the transmission control solenoid in mine...about $60 for the part. Prior to changing the solenoid, I tried cleaning the throttle body, which was cheap and probably a good thing, but it didn't fix the problem. Hope this helps.
Bad transmission. I had that happen in my 500. Throw it in neutral till you feel it’s in gear and put back in gear. It’s loosing it’s spot in the gears. It’s an expensive fix but once it’s fixed it drives amazing.
Literally not expensive at all to fix lol
They told me they were going to send it out to a transmission shop and that my warrenty should cover it. It would slip out of gear and get hung up, and sometimes on quite acceleration at highway speed it would "hang' for a few seconds, i would often feel vibrations through the accelerator pedal, and would vibrate on occasion when i put it in reverse or drive gears, and feel pulsations and waves of vibrations in park.
my car is the same as the one on the video yesterday start acting like this i change the transmission fluid i take it for a drive today while the engine is cold it wont shift to the second so i slow down the gear kick ( loud kick ) then it run normal i dont know what gonna happen when i drive it tomorrow
bough a used 2010 Fusion last year for cheap from company I work. a few months ago it started doing this and a few weeks later the reverse went out. my mechanic said that Ford sudan transmissions from 2006-2012 are pure garbage and he has seen many come in. $3,500 to replace . Ford knew they were garbage and offered a "customer satisfaction fix" instead of a recall and it was only good until 2011.
Black Pullet what did you ended up doing to solve the problem? If you don’t mind me asking
From my endless research, the transmission like the one in the video was only used in the 2010 and newer fusions and not the 2006-2009 model years.
what is the ending of the story?
Quite common on Fusions, my grandmother has been through 3 transmissions on her 2010 Fusion
We've been through one on my 2006.
1:40 dude smash’s vtec lol jk
Is that a CVT transmission?
This does seem like it's more likely that it's something to do with the throttle. The drive by wire system could also be involved, it may not be sensing the peddle position correctly/consistently or the computer that controls the throttle may be bad, either of which would explain why the engine speed is so erratic.
A: your transmissions blown, B: you don't floor it that way what so ever and C:. I heard you say it was re-possessed so you should've asked for its history, it's pre-owner very likely abused it!!
I have a 2011 fusion and I have no issues
Jeremy Ladue most ppl don't have issues. Good maintenance is key with any machine.
This is actually a common problem in most ford fusion due to the split case transmission and the filter being practically not serviceable. That being said the fusion uses mercron LV a lighter thinner transmission fluid and requires you to change (flush it) every 30,000 miles- A big pain in the ass... supposedly you can tune up the transmission by having someone tweak it with a computer.
@@Davido50 actually look up any ford fusion forum this is a big issue at least with the 2010 ford fusion. Transmission is just junk off the lot especially being that you have to drop the whole thing to service a filter- by that time most people just swap it with a better transmission. Great video maybe people should do some research before dropping a comment speaking for everybody!
Funny I have a 2011 ford fusion sel FWD 3.0 L v6 with a 6 speed auto. Seem to have slow acceleration from 1st to 2nd but it cluncks a little bit when it shifts to 2nd gear. Also noticed that when turning it seems to jerk really hard from 1st to 2nd anyone els have this issue and figured out their problem?
had the issue sometimes but i never had anything go wrong with the car after owning it for a few months. i would have some jerking going up gears and sometimes down the car would jerk but i never thought anything of it. found out my car ran bone dry on some transmission fluid and i started to get this issue. car wont drive but after restarting it sometimes it will drive and kick into gear especially after leaving it off for a night. currently dealing with this issue now and pray it is just a fluid issue and not a blown transmission.
Get the lifters checked, that's what could be the problem we have a Honda Odyssey which is the same story, chugging when you put it into R or D, trouble in shifting because it slips, and does that slamming chugging thing right when it shifts or when you take off, Same thing. get the lifters checked out. We were told that would be the problem.
Mkm230 did you even find out what was wrong with this car I'm having same issue .
Honestly I’d rather have it high rev but still actually shift than how it typically Short Shifts at 3k.
My 2012 sport will not shift out of 1st at high RPM.
WHY??
Huh well I know mazda is somehow involved with ford but I didn't know the fusion has a five speed.
My 2010 ford fusion sports did this till I took it in for a throttle body recall
Have you tried changing the tran fluid & filter?
From what I undertand the 2.5L Escapes do indeed have this issue
I hope you did not drive that car in this condition for very long because if the transmission was not bad before, it is now due to the slippage. These cars have a defective valve body that causes loss of hydraulic pressure on the forward clutch. This also being a CVT transmission means that when it starts to have problems it will remain problematic and is very expensive to replace. Could be why you bought it at the auction lol.
It’s not a cvt. It’s a six speed automatic. He was definitely sticking his foot deeper in the throttle than he should have been considering he knows it has a problem.
SMH more gears more problems lol thank goodness for 4 speeds!!!!
@DoorisJ 55000 miles huh? How often have you been changing the transmission oil, the timing belt, the motor oil and oil filter? Also, when was the last time you checked the engine reinforcement, the bars that keep the engine in place? If one of the bars is loose, the engine can vibrate, even the car, and it will make it sound a lot louder. Oh, and next time, buy a car that's made by one of the countries in the Axis powers during WW2.
For anyone saying this is Ford's quality, I'm guessing this is more of a previous owner issue. They probably treated it like shit to damage it, as it was getting repo'd anyways.
What ended up being wrong with that Ford fusion mine is doing the same thing
These transmission problems people are talking about is freaking me out. My mom has a 10' ford fusion with about 55,000 miles and the engine has become increasingly loud and the shifts are becoming a little bit rough and taking a bit to long. She still has 2 years of payments though. But she has the gap insurance, maybe i'll park it under a old tree the next tornado warning.
areyou still poor?
I would flush the transmission and change the filter. Then add new fluid plus 1 qt of Lucas transmission fix and drive it for about 250 miles and pray. If it doesn't fix it. Get rid of it! Ford's can be pretty decent vehicles but their automatic transmission are somewhat weak and do fail if you don't maintain the transmission regularly ever 25 to 30k miles.
It seems most people with this problem had the issue resolved after Ford fixed what all got broke and got the updated computer from Ford to fix this issue.
you think the Aisin Warner F21 6 speed usen in the first generation Fusion was better that the 6F35 I really think it is
i recently have the same problem. the wrench light came on and when i press the gas it hardly moves.
i shut it off and it stopped doing it for a while now its doing it again
Cassandra Vincent I’m having the same problem
How did you fix it?
that is my exact situation. know its been 5 years but how'd you fix it?
i think there was a recall on this issue
Our 2011 fusion has 10k miles and the transmission acts up, it slips sometimes, it's more noticeable in reverse. It's a company car, otherwise I think it's junk. Took it into ford and they said it was normal.
I test drove a brand new 2012 that wouldn't go into gear and when I finally did, it did it with a loud bang.
PCV valve .I have a 06 Ford five hundred that had the same problem .if you disconnect the hot battery terminal for a few minutes and put it back on it will start working for awhile but I had a light on and the code was the PCV valve so I fixed it and it was the reason
It's the speed sensor bro I have a 2010 4 cylander it does the same thing
I have a 2007 ford edge and I thought the transmission was going to drop lol, would drive if I got it up to 3k rpm's. but it was a speed sensor. it's a 3hour job and a $250 part.
Where was the speed sensor located?
Inside the transmission
Its 100% transmission. Coz its not shifting gears. You need to replace new or used transmission
what was the problem mkm230?
My answer may come late but I will share my opinion hoping that it helps somebody out there. I think the problem may be related to a leak on the driver side axle shaft; Indeed, inside the the case, is a ring called inner axle bearing that wears out against the axle itself leading to fluid leaking like water leaking from a faucet; even the axle seal can not stop this leak. If not caught on time, it is more likely that the transmission will go out.
Note: manufacturing problem but they never recalled it. I found that out on youtube.
07 CBR1000RR My fusion was doing this and I had the transmission replaced. Also the cv axle repaired, but my car still chugs and slams. I don't know what else to do.
07 CBR1000RR how u resolve this
How much is this part
Isn't there a recall for this?
@fordruleskiasux Why is your name comparing Ford and Kia? I've like... never heard those two fighting.
this is happening to my 2010 fusion seL right now and it sucks. can’t even put it in park without pbrake.
I have a 2010 Ford Fusion and I'm having the exact same problem... I got the transmission flushed and I'm still having the same problem...
Sheila Cusick have u got it fixed?
Im having that same problem on my 06 fusion. Recommend you ditch the car. Just my preference.
Going through this same thing until 2 days ago it just stopped driving, it will go in reverse but not drive
Keep the tach in the red zone. Engines like that and if you do it for about 5 minutes straight, the transmission will be fixed.
They rebuilt my transmission on my 2010 fusion and it still slips, delayed shifts, hits rev-limiter when i accelerate hard and fast, slams into gear hard and feel to whole car jolt, and from time to time feel vibrations when tranny is in drive and/or reverse, and vibration on acceleration.
The same with my 2011Ford Fusion smh..
Throttle body
@@Northenddoda96 what you mean throttle body ?? Explain more
POST RELEVENT COMMENTS!!! No one cares about your opinions!! I am searching all over trying to find out what is wrong with my car, not your views on car manufacturers!
Look for FordtechMakuloco on RUclips. He is a FORD tech and has a lot of videos on problems with FORD cars and trucks.
well, transmission is broken. you need to replace the whole thing which cost lots of money like $1500?
Get it serviced then go from there. Could just be low on fluid. But who knows... Rebuild/replacements on Automatics are a fortune. That's why I have a manual. just see how you go.
Did you find out what was wrong with it? I just bought a 2010 Ford Fusion SEL in June and it's doing the same thing!
Have u checked it out?
my transmission went out tonight at work. i hope they can fix it. wtf. this is not normal for a car.
Wow! that's the same thing that happens to my fusion....
mine is almsot the same bro
Great cars highly recommended by JD Powers & Consumers Reports! This car was repossessed..anything couldve happened.
What does that have to do with got out was designed?
Looks like you have the dreaded defective 6F35 transmission.
I have this problem same on my Ford Escape 2013 only 40k miles, I don’t know why
Transmission
Bad valve body with shift solenoid,I fix those junk easily
1. you are not helping the matter by driving it like that. 2. These cars are will known for transmission issues, look it up on the internet. There is also a few videos on youtube.
hey this just started happening to me how do i fix it
Hey what’s wrong with it
Could you let me know
Ouch sorry u having so much issues and i thought FORD was stepping up there game with there cars cause FOOD FUSION looks like a nice car, but i do know someone telling me before they had a RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION at some time
you know i think i have heard of many indicents where the transmissions fail in Fusions.. I dont remember where i saw it though..
same exact thing with my fusion...at 144,000 miles i had to replace the transmission...2nd gear was gone and codes pulled up suggested something internal was failing...the shop couldnt rebuild it so had to put a used one in....ive been told by several mechanics that transmission problems in ford fusions are common ...i have an explorer as well and its insane how many common probs they have....wont own another ford after the transmission thing...who knows whats next..i can probly figure it out or what to expect by lookin on youtube...its bullshit and irritating..just a lil bit..
Well just because you have a snobby BMW doesn't meab you wont have problems, infact you'll probably have quite a few expensive ones once your warranty goes out. I've heard enough people complain about BMWs in my days to know that they have their fair share of issues (and expensive ones at that) too.
So how u fix
Weird... This happened when I delivered a 2001 Accord coupe with my uncle to the warehouse. The engine, ABS, maintenance, and SRS light was on. The cars tranny was gone too and it had a fluctuating idle in Drive and Neutral. Ruined,
all cars will have problems i head 2009 ford fusion it could be the transmission slippage or can be the 5gear can be is bad..
get it scanned see what errors show up
The transmission is a GM automatic,Ford purchased them from GM regearing them.If you get to see one out of the car,has turbo hydramatic stamped on the case
I don't know, maybe next to no transmission fluid
All cars can have problems, that doesnt mean Fusion are junk.
