2010 FUSION SE L2.5L FWD-TRANSMISSION LEAKS OIL AT THE DRIVER SIDE HALF SHAFT SEAL. ITS ZERO OUT AND & THE GROVE BOX MANUAL HAS NO SUB FREEZING PROCEDURE TO CHECK THE ATF. AFTER 2 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP I CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY TSB'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SOME GOOGLING I FOUND 6 OR SO TSB'S ON THIS 6F35 TRANSMISSION AND MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS CHRONICLED IN FORUMS. EVEN FORDS OWN FUSION FORUM HAS MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION. FORDFUSIONFORUM.COM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON MAY 15, 2010. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL ALMOST 1 MONTH LATER AT 2100 MILES. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD LOST ALL POWER WHEN I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO CODES WERE SHOWING UP WHEN DIAGNOSED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME I STARTED TO NOTICE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING AGAIN. IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS NOT SHIFTING GEARS CORRECTLY WHEN I'M PRESSING THE GAS FOR ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING PROPERLY AND I FEAR THAT I MAY GET REAR ENDED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY WARNING SIGNS AND JUST LOOSES POWER. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE VEHICLE STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY LIKE IF NOTHING HAPPENED. MEANWHILE I LOOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY OR ON THE STREET, FEARING THAT I WILL GET REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND EACH TIME I TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER PLACED A FLIGHT RECORDER TO MONITOR THE VEHICLE AND THEY STILL WEREN'T ABLE TO CAPTURE ANYTHING WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, SO THEY SAY. I HAVE CONTACT FORD CORPORATION AND HAVE NOTIFIED THEM OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT WORKING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY KEEP CHANGING ME FROM DEALER TO DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT SENT OUT A FORD TECHNICIAN AS PROMISED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING. I HAVE PUT IN NUMEROUS CALLS TO FORD CORPORATION AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM TO THIS DAY.

2010 FORD FUSION. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING A LARGE HOLE MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 15 INCHES WIDE AND 10 INCHES DEEP DUE TO THE SUNROOF COVER INSIDE THE VEHICLE OPENED UP WHILE DRIVING *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SUNROOF GLASS AND FRAGMENTS WERE EVERYWHERE IN THE SUNROOF WELL. *JB

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

FORD FUSION 2010 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE - CAN NOT TRUST THIS CAR TO WORK PROPERLY - HARD SHIFTING - LURCHING FORWARD - TRANSMISSION TRIPPING OVER ITSELF LIKE A 13 YEAR OLD CAR AT 1 MONTH - 2 MONTHS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS - 3 MONTHS LURCHING FORWARD AND NOT MOVING WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE - 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE BLUE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE AS IF A WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. AT 6 MONTHS OLD THAT CAR IS BEHAVING MECHANICALLY WORSE THAN A 13 YEAR OLD CAR - THIS CAR IS UNSAFE - SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT DUMPING IT BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS A LEASE. 31,000 KM IS WHEN THE VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS BEGAN (OUT OF THE BLUE). *LN

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 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE ISSUE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE SOUND, BUT MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY OR DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS AIR BUBBLES TRAPPED IN THE HEATER CORE, BUT DURING A SERVICE VISIT, NO AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE HEATER CORE SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING CHRONIC SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE 6F35 TRANSMISSION. THIS TRANSMISSION SUFFERS FROM SLIPPING GEARS, SHIFT FLARES, HARSH SHIFTING, AND FUNNY SHIFTING THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY AN UNCONTROLLABLE FORWARD LURCH. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT MY VALVE BODY FAILED AT 3,744 MILES AND PROCEEDED TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND SOLENOID ASSEMBLY. THEN AT 4,526 MILES I HAD THE RECALL 10B15 POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING PERFORMED ON MY CAR. NEXT, AT 4,727 MILES THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TRANSMISSION LOAD TEST. AT 9,181 MILES THE DEALERSHIP VERIFIED MY SHIFT FLARING PROBLEM. THEY REFLASHED MY PCM WITH AN UPDATED SOFTWARE PROGRAM. TRANS TECH DROVE VEHICLE AND THE TRANS CONTINUED TO FLARE. THE DEALER THEN REMOVED MY TRANSMISSION AND MOUNTED TO THE BENCH FOR OVERHAUL. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT MY VALVE BODY HAD 3 MELTED BOLTS, MY VALVE BODY WAS DAMAGED, AND THAT MY CLUTCHES HAD BURNED OUT. THE DEALER PROCEEDED TO INSTALL A NEW VALVE BODY, FORWARD CLUTCH, OVERDRIVE CLUTCH, PISTON, SEALS, AND GASKETS. AT 9,702 MILES MY CAR RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND POOR OVERALL TRANSMISSION OPERATION. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AT THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS TOLD THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO MORE REPAIRS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF FORD GIVING EVERYONE THE RUN AROUND ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY NEED TO MAN UP AND LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. MY TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE SHIFT FLARING, VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT SLAMS, ERRATIC SHIFTING, DELAYED SHIFTING, FORWARD LURCHES, AND STRUGGLES ON TAKEOFF. WITH EVERY REPAIR ATTEMPT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THIS TRANSMISSION WORSENS EVERY TIME. IT SHIFTS AS THOUGH IT WAS DESIGNED BY A BUNCH OF AMATEUR'S. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE FORWARD LURCHES AND EXTENDED DELAYED SHIFT WHERE THE CAR WON'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS. PLEASE FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR INJURED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED FROM THE ENGINE, CAUSING LOSS OF ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER IN JUNE 2010; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN IN JANUARY 2011. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

INVOLVES 3 IDENTICAL 2010 FORD FUSIONS THAT WERE PURCHASED NEW FOR OUR COMPANY FLEET, PURCHASED TOTAL OF 22 CARS IN THIS DELIVERY. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS INVOLVING 3 SEPARATE CARS OUR FLEET DRIVERS EXPERIENCED VIBRATION AND SHIMMY/SHAKE WHILE OPERATING CARS. IT WAS DETERMINED IN BOTH CASES THAT THE VEHICLES LUG NUT ON ONE VEHICLE AND 3 ON ANOTHER HAD FAILED. THESE VEHICLES WERE NEVER SERVICED OTHER THAN A OIL CHANGE AND WERE LESS THAN 3 MONTHS IN SERVICE WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURED. THEY OCCURED APPROXIIMATELY ONE MONTH APART AND INVOLVED 3 DIFFERENT DRIVERS. THE CARS WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BY LOCAL FORD DEALERS WHO COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE REASONING OTHER THAN TO SAY SOMEONE MAY HAVE TRIED TO STEAL THEM OR OVERTORQUED THE LUG NUTS. VEHICLES WERE NOT GARAGED AT SAME ADDRESSES AND AGAIN WERE NEVER SERVICED AS THEY WERE NEW AND THE TIRES WERE STEEL WHEEL WITH HUBCAPS. THE LIKELINESS THAT 3 DIFFERENT CARS ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAD ATTEMPTED WHEEL THEFTS IS FAIRLY LOW. WE QUESTIONED WHY A THIEF WOULD OVERTIGHTEN LUG NUTS, AND BOTH DEALERS REPLACED PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. PARTS REPLACED INVOLVED WHEEL LUG NUTS AND STUDS. PARTS WERE RETAINED BY DEALERS.
