Driveshaft problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion

My car was having multiple issues. First the epas system went out as I was driving. There was a recall for previous versions but when I looked up the 2010 Ford Fusion 3. 0lv6 awd it was not included even though it was one of the pioneer vehicles of Fords to have the system. Once I got the power steering repaired I started hearing a grinding. As I drove the car to my house to get a safe look all of a sudden there was a jerking and crunching sound as I drove on a straight road with slight grading. Luckily I was only going 35mph and was able to control the vehicle. I took it to the mechanic and found out that it was the power transfer unit and the rear drive shaft. After talking to the mechanic he said that the ptu is one of the most commonly replaced parts in the awd Ford vehicles. It is obvious after more research that Ford is well aware that they are providing a faulty product and are placing them in all of their awd systems. My understanding is that the ptu unit in the Ford Fusion 2010 is the same as in all other Ford awd vehicles. Since I spent so much money to get the power steering fixed I had to put my car in a garage for the winter so I could save up to fix the now funked ptu. My car hasn't even cracked 89k miles.

Well I previously had a problem with the transmission shifting gears and jerking. Well come to find out it was from a low fluid level caused by a leaking drive shaft. One of more than 2000 known to have this problem. Ford needs to take care of this or I am going back to imports again.

Ford 6f35 transmission has "dead spots", jerkiness and hard shifting since I owned the car. At 56,500 miles, transmission fluid was found to be leaking from the drive shaft axle and that had to be replaced under warranty. The transmission in this car is defective and should be replaced.
