Entered highway and merged into traffic. Began speeding up to around 55 mph and transmission hesitated and jerked, causing me to slow down to around 45 mph. The car would not respond to the gas pedal being pushed and was stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. I coasted to the next exit where I exited the highway and drove to a safe place to stop. The trasmission light came on and I had the car checked at a nearby autozone to see if safe to drive. They could not duplicate problem but after stopped and restarting car, it did not happen again and transmission light went out. 63,000 miles on the vehicle. . . I had my 3 children, all under 5 yrs old with me. . . Definitely a serious safety issue.
When driven in town car will stall for about 10 to 15 second then jerk forward around speed between 25- 40mph with a sudden increase in speed up to 10mph. When entering highway and merged into traffic. I began speeding up to 60 mph the transmission hesitatedthe stall for 10 seconds then jerked,like it finally shifted but then turn around and stall gain. The car would not respond to the gas pedal and was stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear one of them. I took the car to the dealer several times and the don't know what the problem, this sudden increased in speed is very dangerous during rush hour with traffic I nearly hit the car infront of me, the car stalling is very flighting when entering highway. This can cause a major highway accident.
On the interstate and gave car the gas to go around a truck and the car revved the engine and the tachometer went all the way down. Let off the gas and the car was stuck in high gear and would not shift to a lower gear. Had to drive the car that way in stop and go traffic in able to pull off the road. Once the car was turned off and restarted it reset itself and had lower and upper gears in transmission. The car still jerks and doesn't want to go into different gears when driving. Took car to dealer shop and was told that it had a TSB bulletin about the transmission valve body. There is a problem with this and they would not admit to a problem with the transmission. Searching the internet I am not the only one with this problem (100's of people).
Having transmission issues at 50,000 and above on the 2006 Ford Fusion. . . I have researched this issue and Ford has tried to brush it off as I need a brand new transmission, but I made them check their service alerts. . . There is an alert out on all 2006 Ford Fusion's with a certain issue with the transmission and since there is an alert out on it. I was wondering why there isn't a recall on this vehicle? my car is very unsafe to drive, it slips in and out of gear and it is very unsafe to drive on the highway because it will get stuck in car and very unsafe to drive on regular roads at regular speeds. As it will get stuck in lower gears as well. I do plan on getting the problem fixed because I need my car, but I also feel that I should not have to pay since Ford has a known issue of this problem on this model car. What will it take? for someone to be driving on the highway and their car gets stuck in gear and cause an accident that will kill them and another person. I hope this is investigated and will help the next man.
This vehicle lose power and slows down, it happened on the express way more than 5 times. I was almost rear ended by a semi truck. I only drive it on side streets now. It pops into gear very hard, the wrench light and the check engine light is on. It gets stuck in second gear and burns a lot of gas. It started soon after the warranty ran out. I had a lot of repairs done and the power train and engine is not working right as of yet, something is wrong with this Ford Fusion 06 and a lot of people are having the same problems with it. Why does it take the deaths of many innocent people first before there's a recall?.
