Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problems of the 2006 Ford Fusion

When I was passing a car on the high way the transmission slipped out of gear. I was in the middle lane and lost all acceleration. Dead in the water. I had to put my hazard lights on and pull over to the side of the road. Turning the card on and off fixed the issue. Since that it has done this multiple times.

Driving on the highway at 65mph when the transmission slip out of gear and the engine started to rev up. Got of to the side of the rode when there was a safe spot to let the traffic behind us go around. I had my wife and two grand children in the car not a safe position to be in. Ford knows about the valve in asin transmission. Can not believe they will not honor this problem, when they know about it. The problem is getting worse. Please help!.

Transmission slipping at downshift at around 35 mph. Dealer changed fluid. Helped for around 3 weeks and started again. Today 7/24/2012 transmission slipped out of gear entering highway rt 78 at rt 100 and almost involved in a crash, had to pull on to shoulder to avoid it. Ford clearly knows of the problems with the aisin transmission and should be held responsible for any repairs. The problem is with valve bore wear in the main control or megatronic. Why should citizens be made to pay for faulty parts used in construction ?.

Purchased 2006 Ford Fusion sel 6 cyl, new. And about year ago starting having transmission problems. Upon accelerating between 25-40, the transmission jumps in and out of gear, often making a loud banging noise and taking away all acceleration. In order for it to get back into gear, you have to completely let of the gas and it will eventually go back into gear. This allows for minimal accelerator at best when trying to speed up. This failure occurs randomly everytime I drive the vehicle. If not fixed, the transmission in my car will eventually go bad. Due to no codes showing up on the computer, that on the Ford bulletin it was going to need a new valve body, transmission flush, and reprogramming. This is going to cost roughly $2200. The valve body, from Ford, was $1400. I got into an accident in March of this year due to not being able to accelerate from another vehicle merging into my lane,transmission jumped out gear.

Car slips out of gear and fails to shift out of neutral for acceleration.

I suffered the basic same complaints with the trans slipping out of gear after freeway driving and having it slam back into gear. It usually happens when I let off the throttle and need to re-accelerate. I have been lucky so far I usually can get it to re-engage in gear without causing any problems behind me. One time it locked into a high gear and I almost burned up the clutch because it would not downshift when I got off the freeway. I pulled over to the shoulder to figure out what to do and while I was stopped I turned off the motor. When I turned it back on approx 5 mins later it had reset itself and I was able to drive home fine. This is how my commute is basically every day now, it seems to happen more often in the afternoon commute when the weather is warmer. (on a side note if you get struck somewhere, allow the car sit for 5 mins with key off allowing it to reset and it might allow you to arrive somewhere safe).

2006 Ford Fusion transmission slips out of gear and slams back into gear at highway speeds. Also clunks into each gear as it is downshifting.

Transmission mishap, jumped out of gear while doing highway speeds resulting in near collision. Transmission downshifts extremely hard causing car to jump and have erratic shifting. Ford aware of problem, their recommendation is a new transmission resulting in a $4256. 00 repair bill.

The transmission in my vehicle started slipping at 60,000 miles. It will slip out of gear and slam violently back into gear makink the vehicle hard to control. It does not happen all the time but it has been happening more often. There has been many complaints of this models transmission doing this in other vehicles.

2006 Ford Fusion v6. . . . My wife was driving on the expressway with my two year daughter in the back seat when the transmission slipped out of gear as if it went into neutral going 60mph. She let off the gas peddle and the transmission engaged . Trying to get back up to speed she stepped on the gas peddle and the car jerked violently and caused it to slow down even more. She was able to get it back up to speed by slightly pushing down on the gas peddle. . After reading all the complaints, how is there not a forced recall!!!! this is extremely dangerous! the 2010 Fusion has a recall for unsafe transmission issues, why not the 2006?.

While driving my 2006 Ford Fusion se v6 with 6 speed transmission, the transmission started slipping at 40mph in a snow storm and I almost lost control of my vehicle from the loss in power. It now randomly slips out of gear at all speeds and downshifts hard lurching the car out of the lane.

The car started about 2 years ago, slipping out of gear when having to accelerate. It also slams into gear when down shifting. This is very dangerous, my wife was getting on the interstate and it slipped out of gear and she had to coast off of the highway because there was a tractor and trailer quickly approaching. We also cannot go up any big hills or mountains. We have had it at the dealership when it first happened and they changed the transmission fluid and updated the computer. This cost $500. They finally came to the conclusion that it needed a new transmission which would cost $4000. We still owe over $12,000 and do not have the $4000 to replace the transmission.

My 2006 Ford Fusion transmission started slipping at 34,000 miles. Dealer said there was nothing they could do since my car was made in the first part of 2006, no additonal warranties were available. I bought the car under the assumption that there was a warranty still available. Now my transmission is going out, I still owe 11,000 on my car. After talking to alot of Fusion people, this appears to be a very very common problem. It's also very dangerous, the car slips out of gear revs up and then pops back into gear just as you are trying to get into a lane. Very dangerous, I have almost wrecked several times and had to pull over.

I was driving on a highway at 65 miles per hour when all of sudden my car just started slipping out of gear. I have 70000 miles on my car and it started with abouit 63000 miles. I was just recently at a 2 way stop with the non stop being a highway of 64 miles per house in south dakota. I stopped and seen no cars coming and starting going across the intersection and my car wouldnt go into gear. I sat in the middle of the intersection trying to get it to go and finally after about 15 seconds I got it to run and luckily there was no traffic coming or I would had to get out of my car and run to the side because it wouldnt start going. I dont have the kind of money to go into a repair shop and spend 5000 dollars on a new transmission when I know that is what it is. It occurs probably once a day.

06 Ford Fusion transmission slips out of gear around 25-35 mph. This happened on the highway resulting in 4 cars almost hitting us & almost causing 2 other accidents. It has been getting progressively worse for a month now. It's @ the dealership now ,they said there is nothing wrong with it @ 1st,now they say they have duplicated the problem & I need a new transmission $4700. The car has 54k miles on it. I have read numerous other complaints online @repairpal. Com. Something needs to be done,this is a very hazardous problem.

Events leading: normal driving operation. Failure:transmission slips after reaching 35 mph+, occurs anytime I am on the highway going uphill or trying to pass. Have seen many forums with others that are having similar issues. Causes my car to slip out of gear until I let off the accelerator or causes a very hard shift causing the transmission to bang really loud. What has been done to fix: nothing currently, have only done research into the issue and found many forums with individuals that have similar issues and have had their vehicles in to the dealer only to have their car worked on and still have problems.

Automatic transmission slips out of gear when going up a hill or when passing another vehicle. The car make a rough noise and you have to brake in order to get the car to change gears. When the cruise control was set at 65 mph the car approached a small hill and the gear would not change and made a awful noise. I took the car to a Ford dealership for diagnostic check and it revealed that I need a transmission. The cost was quoted at 4900. 00. This started approx 2 months ago and is still happening.

I have had my 2006 Fusion for two years. My transmission started slipping around 60,000 miles. At first it only slipped when I tried to accelerate quickly, but over the last few months it has gotten worse. I am afraid to drive it on the highway because when it slips it jumps out of gear and I can't accelerate at all. I just pray that the person behind me can slow down in time not to hit me and my children. It takes a few miles for it to jump back into gear. I have had to pull over on the side of the road to wait for it to get back into gear. I cannot afford a new transmission! this car replaced my Ford econoline which I drove for over 200,000 miles before its transmission went out. If I wanted to buy a transmission I would have bought one for the vehicle I was replacing. This is the only car I have to get my kids and myself to work and to school. I cannot afford expensive repairs on a relatively new car; and I shouldn't have to. These cars are dangerous.

Our 2006 Fusion sel's transmission has been slipping out of gear since around 44k miles. While in forward motion, regardless of the current speed or rpms the transmission slips out of gear and the following may happen, sometimes all in the same occurrence: (1) a sudden transmission surge then a jerk resulting in high revving rpms with no forward power. The gas pedal only revs the engine with no forward acceleration (2) a sudden grab/slam out of and back into gear jolting anyone in the car significantly (3) gear slippage resulting in high revving rpm into the red zone, no forward acceleration, and no return to previous or any other gear (4) bucking surges of acceleration and deceleration making the car impossible to control and drive safely. While advancing from a complete stop such as a stop sign or traffic signal (1) transmission may not come out of high gear and car will move only slowly until stopped and restarted (2) transmission stays in high gear and the car moves slowly only to uncontrollably jolt forward while slamming into a lower gear. All of the above may or may not be solved by stopping and restarting the car. The above issues happen regardless of the type of roadway, speed traveling, and whether the car is traveling in a straight path or turning. We were told by a Ford dealership that it was a known issue that presents itself around 40k miles and usually after the warranty had expired. Estimates to repair ranged from $2,500 to $4,500. In addition to the repair costs, there is the much higher potential costs of lost lives due to the lack of control this issue puts the driver in. When a driver immediately has no control of forward momentum and suddenly has no way to direct the vehicle to a safe location at current traffic speeds, there is a sudden potential for loss of lives for the occupants of the car and potentially the vehicles following behind.

Several problems with 2006 Ford Fusion se ignition on/off, key removal and gear selection. When starting car, comes out of gear. On startup, gear shift will not engage/disengage fully. On startup, cannot start motor because gear shift will not fully engage "park". Key cannot be removed from ignition when turning car off. When at stoplights, transmission will slip out of gear.

Automatic transmission slips out of gear during acceleration. When downshifting it slips and sometimes slams itself into gear. Starting from a stop sometimes the transmission doesn't seem to know which gear to start in and slams into 1st. The most frequent problem is that of the transmission dropping out of gear upon acceleration or trying to top a grade. If you are not careful the rpms will reach 5000+ rpms. This issue began around 50k miles. Ford dealership in sterling heights michigan checked the transmission in approx may of 2008 and they only offered a complete transmission replacement at a cost of 4k+, they could not determine what the problem was.

My 2006 Ford Fusion 3. 0l v-6 is experiencing severe problems with the transmission. This all started at 55,000mi. It will slip out of gear at acceleration and clunks and thuds when it is downshifting. This is an extreme safety hazard, especially if you decide to turn quickly if front of on coming traffic. The trans just may not catch. Ford engineers know what the problem is. It is the transmission which Ford purchased from "aisen" in germany. They have a defective control body which has extreme spool bore wear. Someone better require Ford to fix this issue before someone gets hurt. . . . I have many close calls since I owned this car. The dealer wants to charge me 5000. 00 to fix their issue. Why is Ford so hush hush?.
