Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2007 Ford Fusion

While I was driving on a dry, paved road, the check engine light activated while passing and the vehicle's rpms fluctuated between 500 and 2000 with barely any engine power. Vehicle was pulled over, turned off, turned back on again, and appeared to resume normal operation. Vehicle was towed to a mechanic and through testing they identified the powertrain control module had melted several engine coils and spark plugs. Before replacing the module, all new spark plugs and engine coils were added and the car was started up. It exhibited the same behavior before the coils and plugs were replaced, and for the brief time it was actually on, it melted another new coil. TSB for the 07 Fusion was confirmed and the pcm was replaced along with all new coils. Pcm was taken to the Ford dealer for reprogramming. Replacement and reprogramming of pcm and all 6 coils and spark plugs fixed the issue. Vehicle has 84k miles on it and should not have this safety issue.

I have a 2007 Ford Fusion with 56,000 miles on it that is now on its deathbed due to faulty ignition coils and pcm. Why is this not a recall? it seems to be a very common problem with the 2007 Ford Fusion.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to power up, the engine turned over however, the vehicle failed to restart. The taken to a independent mechanic where it diagnosed that the pcm, spark plugs, and coils had all melted and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000. Ng.

Had to replace an ignition coil for a misfire obd code. After replacing coil problem still existed, so I researched online and found a great number of other Fusion owners who have had this same problem. Now I am supposed to replace all the ignition coils and the pcm. With the number of affected vehicles being staggering I feel that there needs to be a recall for this issue.

While driving on the highway the engine started to run rough and within a minute the engine quit and couldn't be restarted. Luckily I was able to coast to the side of the highway. The engine had the same fault as identified in NHTSA TSB-13-4-17. The pcm unit failed, causing damage to multiple on-plug ignition coils. I believe that the Ford TSB # for this problem is 06-18-15. This is a 6-cylinder engine. I believe this is a safety issue because of the sudden and complete onset of loss of power.

In 2010 the pcm in our 2007 Ford Fusion went out and was replaced at a cost of approximately $1,300. Three years later while my wife and daughter was driving a very busy road, the lights on the dash board begin to light up which caused her to pull into a parking lot. Thankfully she noticed the blinking lights on the dash otherwise my family could've been hurt pretty bad in a car accident. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership to find out days later that once again the pcm had died and need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $3,000. Ford states the recall that was issued in 2007 was completed on the vehicle, however after reading the numerous complaints online, there needs to be another recall issued before several deaths occur due to this serious issue. The cost of the pair is ridiculous along with the amount of time that's required to wait on the part, which is two weeks. I'm asking that NHTSA to please recall Ford's vehicles for this recurring issue and going forward require Ford motor company to at minimum check the coils on their vehicles around 75,000 miles for potential pcm issues, it could save several lives.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 30 mph, the transmission began to shift gears violently with hesitation. The vehicle was maneuvered into a parking lot. The vehicle was then driven to the residence cautiously at the reduced speed rate of 5 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the transmission was replaced. There was a technical service bulletin under NHTSA item number 10023866 (power train:automatic transmission:control module tcm, pcm). The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 59,570.
