Early may 2011 I was driving home at 65mph and I lost 5th gear. Then 4th gear. On way to dealership I lost 3rd gear. Warranty covered a brand new transmission. They claim after a week they finally got the transmission in and installed but they were waiting on a part for it because the transmission came with a part for a Mazda 6 and wouldn't work. After two weeks they were finally done. Took vehicle back to dealership on 09/26/2011 stating great difficulty getting vehicle to shift out of park. Also stated there is an excessive amount of heat coming from the console in to the cabin above the transmission. Also stated the transmission is shifting very hard at times. Ford called today and stated the transmission has no problems at all and that I can't get out of park because the shift interlock sylionid needed to be replaced requiring that everything from the shifter and everything below all the way to the floorboard would have to be replaced costing over $400. I have found hundreds of complaints online involving the same issues. This is a major safety issue.

Transmission problems on v6 six speed transmission. Hard shifting from 3rd to 4th gear (sometimes a very loud bang). Down shifts like a manual transmission when slowing down.

I was trying to accelerate to merge on to the freeway. My 2006 Ford Fusion refused to respond. The revs went up to 4000 rpm and the car just stayed there going very slowly. After a few seconds, it jerked forward, so I pulled back on the side of the road and let the "tantrum" past. I've had several close calls since-- the most scary one occurring in stop-and-go traffic. When accelerating after slowing down, the Fusion will rev up and creep slowly forward until one removes one's foot from the gas pedal and allow it to settle back in gear. Luckily, I've avoided being rear-ended by fast approaching cars. Recently, Ford cleaned the throttle body and charged $232. 00, I still have the same problem and am still waiting for a recall on this vehicle. Incidentally, the stalling also happens after making a right or left hand turn.
