Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2010 Ford Fusion

This instance vehicle going steady 35mph and started revving rpm's up like it was going to shift into another gear, it then slammed and jerked the car and started the revving again. Stopped at a stop light and and turned left, while turning and hitting accelerator the car did not want to move and started revving again and then slammed and jerked almost making the person behind me rear end me. Previous instance was a steady 75 mph on the flat highway and the same revving and slam/jerking had happened. 5th time it's done it this year alone. 13 times since 2011. This instance the orange wrench light came on the dash. Car is at dealership to get looked at. This is very unsafe especially since it is erratic and does it at any time it feels like. This car is not safe to have my family in.

1st time, I was stopped at a red light after driving 50 miles when the light turned green, I stepped on the gas, the car rev'd like the car was in neutral and would not go into gear. After several tries, it went into gear and drove ok. The 2nd time, I was traveling about 60 mph, and the car started reving at 4,000 rpms and lost all power. I pulled over, put it in neutral and back in gear several times till it started again. I pulled out again on the 4 lane and the car continued reving at around 4,000 rpms and had no power so I got off the road again. The "wrench" trouble light lit up. I turned the car off, sat about 5 minutes, started it back up and it worked fine. I took it straight to a Ford dealer who could not find out what was wrong with it.

Today I was at a red light when my car decided to act up. The light had just turned green and I had started to drive when all of the sudden my car lost power. It struggled then just stalled right in the middle of traffic. I looked at the dash and I noticed the wrench light came on. While I was trying not to die in traffic I put my car into neutral where I turned the key to the off position then back to the on position. Luckily my car came back on but it was still struggling. I managed to get the car to a nearby parking lot where turned it off again. I gave it a few minutes to recover then turned it back on again. Everything now appeared to working normal. I opened the hood to make sure everything seamed okay (nothing burning, smoking, or anything else out of the ordinary), everything checked out okay. Also I would like to mention that my transmission sometimes fails to go into gear then all the sudden it goes into gear and jerks really hard. Additionally my lower gears will shift very hard. When it shifts it acts as if someone had pushed in the clutch for to long then it goes into gear.

I have a Ford Fusion with about 35,500 miles. I bought the car used with about 18,000 miles and noticed inconsistent shifting right away. Then progressed into not shifting back into gear right away after shifting out of reverse. I took it in and they reprogrammed the transmission and the service supervisor said that this transmission adapts to the owners driving habits. Took it in again about a month later and they said the fluid was low; they weren't sure why just filled it and sent me on my way. Third time I took it to a different dealership. They had to pull the transmission and replace parts, which took almost a week. It seemed okay at first but now is displaying the same issues as before of not shifting into gears when accelerating. The problem was not fixed and I am left with a vehicle that also had a heater motor replaced that were making a whistling noise, floor heat that barely comes out, car alarm that goes off even when all the doors are unlocked and bright lights that just randomly come on. I don't know if its a lemon, but I smell disaster in the next couple of years! wish Ford would do the right thing and stand by its product.

Car shifts extremely hard into reverse--feels like transmission is going to drop out of the car. Does not accelerate properly; feels like accelerating in a higher gear when starting off. Does not seem to shift gears when driving. Shifts hard when changing from reverse to drive. Also feels like transmission drops randomly when driving at high and low speeds. Car has been into the dealer on 4 separate occasions over 9 months and problem still isn't fixed.

There was a recall on the 2010 Ford Fusion transmissions. I took the car in on 12/31/10 to automax Ford, killeen, TX. They told me that nothing was wrong with it and it is fine. On 3 August 2011 my car felt like it did a downshift while going down the highway. At this point my accelerator fails to work. The car is not in any gear and even when I give the car gas the engine will not rev. I then have to come to a complete stop and put the car in park. While in park the car idles really heavy like and stuttters to keep going so I have to turn the car off. When I turn the car back on it will turn over about 6 or 7 times before it starts. I have to do this process every time the car does this which has been about 6 times in the past two days. The incident happens on the highway and in regular city driving. I believe automax Ford has failed to do the inspection right and now the recall letter is expired as of April 2011. I was also deployed overseas during that time period of expiration.

Transmission on 2010 Ford Fusion skips out of gear and clunks into gear at times. Failed to go into gear when I was pulling out onto a busy highway. I had to pull off the road to avoid being hit by the car from behind. Near accident. Ford earlier issued a recall on the transmission and re- calibrated the powertrain module. This obviously did not work because of the ensuing accident. I took it back to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong with it. This was in June of 2010. By July, it was worse and I took it back again. This time they kept the car. They said they would take the transmission apart and get instructions from Ford headquarters. When I checked the internet, I found page after page of complaints by Fusion 2010 owners with the similar transmission problems. Some, l occur after 7-10 months(12,000 miles) and some much sooner. I am concerned that it will be fixed properly because some owners received re-built transmissions and some received new transmissions, and these fixes did not always work according to owner testimony. My car has been in the shop for well over a week already. All I want is my car back without any transmission problems. Let's hope nobody gets in a serious accident because of this condition. My complaint is with Ford headquarters, not the dealer. The dealer is not in control.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 25 mph the vehicle began to jerk and lunge. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was told the transmission needed to be flushed again. The vehicle was repaired. Two days later while driving 40 mph the vehicle failed to change gears, slowed down independently, and would not accelerate more than 25 mph. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the transmission need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Six months later, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 124,000.
