Automatic Transmission Control Module Problems of Ford Fusion - part 1

My vehicle was in service with my dealer for several months 3 separate occasions for powertrain issues which werent resolved and now the alignment in my steering wheel is really off. My spouse and I believe the pcm is messed up but have had no progress with our dealership and suspect them of committing consumer fraud and selling us a lemon. The vehicle in question is around 70,000 and started messing up at 60,000.

2019 Ford Fusion se 1. 5l. Not made aware of csp on my car. Have dealer notes saying my car wasn’t listen in oasis for notification. Although when I found the csp online my car is an “affected vehicle”. I now have low coolant, white exhaust smoke and severe knocking from my engine. I had a first ever reported issue to the dealership in 05/2023 where my car stalled out and dash lights illuminated. They ran codes and the only documented code in the service paperwork was p0222. They found a “chaffed wire”. They did not upgrade my pcm. Although by 05/2023 that was the recommendation on the csp for the dealership to do after previously failed bandaid fixes by Ford. My car will be going to the dealership on 12/9/24 to address my concerns and request all of my detailed service records. And really figure out why exactly the dealership didn’t complete anything issued in the csp especially when I was taking my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. I am within the 6 or 7 years and 84k miles or whatever it is now. It continuously changes but honestly I am quite upset that faulty engines aren’t being recalled by Ford but Ford will issue a recall on back up cameras. Like seriously. Engine > camera a faulty back up camera is probably not the same level of fire/safety risk as the faulty engines Ford continues to refuse to recall.

The engine makes a very loud ticking and whirring sound, there are also quite a few electrical components that will not communicate with the pcm causing errors on the vehicle code such as a switch component failure u2002-96 battery voltage circuit below and above threshold u3003-16 and u3003-17, electric park break enable - deactivated b1111-53. Lost communication with restraints control module u0151-00 lost communication with pscm u0131-00 invalid data received from pscm - alive/sequence counter incorrect/not updated and right rear tone wheel - mechanical failures c0039-07 even though there have not been any accidents and all maintenance has been done on proper time frame. The car shifts very hard and sometimes hangs on rpm before a shift causing an even harder gear change. The emergency breaking system does not work at all and there is no warning when you come close to any object wall or person. The reverse parking sensors also came loose and recessed into the back bumper by themselves with no tampering or touching.

I was driving and all of the sudden engine overheated and car could not drive over 10mph during an extremely bad storm at night on the highway putting me in extreme danger if someone were to have been behind me. There were no engine lights on or warning signs of this happening and just happened out of nowhere car was driving fine before it happened. Issue happened on September 26th, 2023. This is the second engine problem I have had since getting the car in 2021. Last issue was with the top half of the engine cac/intake manifold and luckily was under warranty or would have been over $6,000. Had vehicle towed to Ford dealership and there verified a check engine light fault. P0303 active in pcm. Upon diagnosing the concern found that the head gasket is leaking into cylinder 2 and 3 due to a failed cylinder block assembly. Need to replace the short block assembly with an updated design. Was quoted $8,700 to fix the issue. I can't afford to pull that kind of money out to fix a car that isn't even 5 years old. Car is no longer under warranty.

I purchased a used car from a dealership in orlando, FL, on may 5th this year. The vehicle has been experiencing a recurring issue of a battery drain, and despite multiple visits to authorized Ford service centers and leaving the car with the dealership for repairs, the problem persists. My ability as a customer to work and move around has been severely affected. The dealership claims no liability, but evidence suggests they were aware of the issue before selling the car. The service advisor admitted the problem existed before the purchase, providing repair orders from a different Ford location as proof. Currently, Ford is requesting 15 additional hours of labor for diagnosis, but the dealership refuses to approve it, leaving me with a non-functional vehicle. I suspect the vehicle's power control module needs reprogramming due to a recall (customer satisfaction program 17b38), but the VIN lookup shows no recalls associated with the car despite the model, year, plant city, build dates, as well as the reason for the recall matching. I, as the customer, am unable to use the purchased product, and Ford refuses to provide me with a response or any resolution as they “will not do anything until those 15 hours of labor = $3000 are not approved”, at the same time, financial constraints prevent me from approving the needed labor hours for diagnosis. Customer satisfaction program 17b38 reason for this program: in some of the affected vehicles, if the ignition is briefly powered on and off, the pcm may not complete the shutdown process. As a result, the pcm will remain powered which results in excessive current draw and can lead to a drained battery. Affected vehicles vehicle: Fusion model year: 2017 plant city: hermosillo build dates: 10/16/2015 - 08/02/2017.

As I was driving my check engine light came on and my car started to jerk. I had some previous issues with my ac and radio delays. I took the car to the dealer and he said my pcm was missing a ground and if I continued to drive it the engine could catch fire. The car is only 5 years old. He says they have seen this a lot in these cars.

I currently am the owner of a 2012 Fusion hybrid. My transmission is not shifting properly. I have had the pcm updated as an attempt to correct the issue. It will rev high, like a race car, and drives like a race car. It does not shift into higher driving gears as designed. My son, who is a student driver, isn't safe to drive it. I believe that this is an issue that Ford is aware of and the dealership is wanting $5000-$6000 to fix. There are no warning lights on, so the dealership gets almost $200. 00 for a diagnostic. This is not fair to the consumer.

The car recently misfired 3 times. I took into get oil change and have the misfire checked into. The misfires started 11/4/21. Car would run rough and then stall out. It would sit for a minute or two and start and run fine. There were no check engine lights or gage to show the car was running hot. I never dreamed it was a cracked cylinder. The dealer performed eec test diagnosis and found previous misfies in cylinder 1 in mode 6 of pcm. Found coolant level low, pressure tested cooling system and found that cylinder 1 with coolant intrusion. Short block replacement. I see online that there have been recalls on 2013 -2014 Ford Fusion and other 2013-2015 vehicles for this exact problem of a lack of coolant circulation causing an engine to overheat resulting in a crack in the cylinder head. In these models dealers were installing a coolant level sensor with supporting hardware and software at not charge to customer. Ford dealer is charging me $5,000 for short block replacement, which I feel is a defect of the Ford engine design. I purchased by car in Nov. 2014 so it only makes sense that this engine had the 2014 design problem. I declined repairs at that moment, to investigate the problem and asked for my car. The dealer stated they had to put my car back together so it would be about 20 mins. When I got the car back it seems to be running normal like when I took it in, but down the road about 3 miles the car started to sputter and stalled. After sitting a few minutes with flasher on in traffic on a major road, the car would start up and wouldn't go over 15 mph and continued to stall. I called dealer and they gave me the number to the towing company they use. The car was towed back to dealership. The Ford dealer is charing me $5,000 for short block replacement. They did file a complaint with Ford motor CO. Customer relationship center and they stated the dealer had opened a case by no programs in place for assistance.

Drove car out of driveway, after driving approximately 150-200 feet the dashboard wrench icon ( powertrain problem ) illuminated and car went into limp mode. Read mil codes, had codes p0715, input/turbine speed sensor circuit malfunction and p0717, input/turbine speed sensor no signal. Traced wiring problem to connector in front of drivers side shock tower. This connector is the connector between the pcm and and the transmission. The connector was causing an open on the conductors, causing the lack of tss signal. There were no symptoms or intermittent problems prior to this - it happened suddenly. Had been on an interstate hiway the day prior to this, am glad this ( going into limp mode ) did not happen while I was traveling at 65mph - could have caused accident.

1. Currently on my 2nd pcm and 4th set of coils and plugs. I was driving my car a few months ago and it started struggling to stay running and the engine light started flashing and after about 2 minutes the car completely shut down. Bought all new coils and plugs to find out that the pcm was just popping them. Replaced the pcm and coils and plugs and now my car is sitting due to the same problem with the pcm and coils. 2. About a year ago, I pulled into the gas station and when I got back into my car it wouldn't start. After days of mechanic work I was told that the wiring harness that powers the fuel pump were melted. Which could have very easily caught my car on fire while I was inside. 3. 6 months ago my power steering went out for the 1st time because of the bolt on the pully and happened again 3 months ago. How are these things not recalled!!?? I've seen a ton of complaints!.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while at stop, the vehicle would independently shift into neutral without warning. The contact had to restart the vehicle in to resume normal driving functionality. The contact had linked the failure to a defective powertrain control module (pcm). The contact had notified a dealer of the failure and was informed that there would be a three week wait for an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I have a 2017 Ford Fusion titanium with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine that has 72,890 miles. I experienced rough idle for about a week then my check engine light came on. I had the engine light checked and showed the code p0302 which is a misfire in cylinder 2. When I proceeded to leave the place of business where I had the light checked white smoke came out of my exhaust upon start up and was still coming out by the time I drove home. I proceeded to do my research over the next couple of weeks following and found out it is a known issue and Ford will only cover if under power train warranty, even though it happens outside the warranty time frame just as much as with in the warranty window. I proceeded to have my car towed to the dealership and a diagnostic done and they said that everything I stated above is exactly the issue along with the pcm self-test showing p0217 engine over temperature condition was detected, and the engine long block assembly does have to be replaced. Nothing showed up on my dash to warn me of overheating or anything of the nature. Only the check engine light appeared.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 30 mph and shifting to first gear, the vehicle started jerking and shuddering. The contact stated that the failure increased in intensity whenever he shifted into a higher gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road, turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle at slower speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the pcm was reset and the transmission oil was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact also stated that the failure would occur whenever the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking gasoline and was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the fuel injectors. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

On 3/6/2020 we took vehicle in to dealership. They performed oil change and reprogrammed pcm due to recall that was issued on my vehicle. 2 days later we started having issues with gas mileage sensor. Dealership to us to reset. Vehicle continue to have ussues warning lights are on, now we have parasitic drain. Car wont start. We have gotten jump start next day vehucle wont start. We were told battery is good. Issue is with module. I went through on last Ford vehicle and after 4 repairs, spending out of pocket thousands of dollars they never fixed Ford focus so I purchased Ford Fusion and now the exact same issue. It also may loud sound during jump start. Vehicle has been disabled since 3/27/2020.

I purchased my Ford while it was still under the warranty. I took it to a dealer because I was losing power while driving in a certain gear at a certain rpm after the engine was running for about 30 minutes. I was told it was a wiring issue which I had the dealer fix. By this time I was close to the warranty being up. It didnt fix the issue. The vehicle loses power intermittently or stutters. I get p0352 codes. I have been dealing with it because it is intermittent but recently the wiring harness melted on an ignition coil. I have replaced the ignition coils, the pig tail, the spark plugs, changed transmission fluid, rechecked all the cables, and once the dealer reprogrammed the pcm. It has to be the transmission but because it is intermittent the dealer cant find anything wrong. I actually lost power once at low speeds after the transmission slipped and dinged a poll causing a dent in my car. Thankfully I only lost power once on the high way and no one hit me. Since I am out of warranty I am forced to find the cause and fix it myself. I do not have 4 grand for a new transmission install. My research shows that Ford has three issues with my year. 1. Ignition coils over heating due to bad pcms or programming 2. Transmission bubbles or tears forming in the rings 3. Cable controls on the transmissions. I am out of options and dont know what to do so I figure I would warn off others. Dont by a Ford with the 6f35 transmission unless it is a later year. I hear the 2019 has it fixed and I wish I could have one of those but the best I can do is warn others. I am stuck. 2 years of my life wasted.

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.

2006 Ford Fusion: when driving after the car gets warm up it is starts slipping and shifting someone harshly like it just got kicked. I was on the freeway and couldn't speed up almost got rear ended. I see others have the same issue after doing a search I found different answer as what could be wrong. Found out what the issue is with the aisin transmissions slipping which were used in the 2006 Fusion. It is due to valve bore wear in the main control. If the trans fluid isnt burnt (meaning there is internal trans clutch damage) then you are looking at $800-$1000 to replace the main control. If the clutches are burnt the whole trans will have to be replaced cost??? something like $4000-$5000. The problem is that when Ford bought the aisin trans, Ford did not buy the service rights. So there are no service parts available or training avail on how to service this trans. The issue with the main control has been so common that aisin has agreed to supply Ford with service main controls. There has been a technical service bulletin out there. See below TSB bulletin date: Feb 2007 various driveability/transmission symptoms - pcm/tcm calibration updates 3. 0l - aisin f21 auto trans. ( NHTSA item number - 10021277 ) as one person posted. Ford needs to make this right!!! very unsafe*** our car is parked in the garage we can not afford to fix it or sell it with a bad transmission . Ammco said needs new transmission.

This car just fell apart at 130000 miles. The purge valve failed 3 times. The abs speed sensor pigtail failed. The entire pcm unit board shorted un repairable. The map sensor failed. Ford has charged me 3 times for diagnosis as failures were less then 4 days apart so towed back each time. A pcm complete failure on a car not even 4 years old with only 130000 miles is an issue as they want around $1000 for replacement when it should not be failing. Add in all the previous recalls this car has been a lemon from the start. I am a long time Ford buyer but this has soured me. The abs pig tail triggered all safety lights drops power steering and poor braking.

This vehicle has had a dead battery 3 times after sitting overnight. No extra power draws we added. The last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. The engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay DE-energized performance - too early. This vehicle has already been brought into the dealership where they performed a battery test and reprogrammed the modules. This was less than 1 month till it happened again.

This vehicle has had a dead battery 2 times after sitting overnight. No extra power draws we added. The last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. The engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay DE-energized performance. It will be scheduled to go to the dealership to try to resolve this 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.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact heard an abnormal noise while driving the vehicle. The dealer replaced the battery, but it failed to correct the noise. While making a turn, there was a sudden loss of power and a warning indicator randomly illuminated for run power and the vehicle stalled several times without warning. The contact had to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact had to restart the vehicle a few times due to the failure. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in service campaign number: 14n02 to address the pcm reprogramming. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

My ignition coils have melted and fried the pcm. Long story short it was a very dangerous situation where I was in the middle of a highway going 50mph when my car just wouldn't accelerate. It started shaking violently and I thought I was going to lose control. Luckily, I was able to safely make it to the side of the road and have it towed to the local dealership. Unfortunately, Ford has yet to take responsibility and recall these defective parts. There are thousands of complaints filed online. This issue costs thousands to fix and should be taken seriously by Ford. Even the dealership commented that they thought the ignition coil may have melted before they even looked at it because they know this is a known issue with Ford Fusions. I'm really disappointed in Ford.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Ford Fusion. While driving between 20-38 mph, the vehicle failed to shift gears, jerked severely, and the check engine and transmission warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to anderson Ford Lincoln (3601 stockton hill rd, kingman, az 86409, (928) 757-3131) where it was diagnosed that the 4th and 5th gears were incorrect. While the vehicle was at the dealer for the gear repairs, it was also diagnosed that the valve body and solenoids needed replacement, and the pcm and tcm needed reprogramming. All the repairs were completed, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent transmission facility where it was diagnosed with the same failure and parts as the dealer. The contact stated that the vehicle was once again repaired, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another independent transmission facility where it was diagnosed that the entire transmission needed replacement and the failure was a known issue with Ford. The contact stated that the transmission was not replaced because he already spent money to have the transmission repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The VIN was unknown.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. While the vehicle was idling, the coolant over temperature warning indicator illuminated, resulting in engine failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the bypass valve and the heater hose failed and needed to be replaced. Also, the power train control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v551000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

The vehicle starts running rough, steering becomes loose, the wrench light comes on with the message 'check owners manual', then the engine stalls. This happens when the car is in motion. It has happened twice at low speed ~35 mph and once at high speed ~70 mph. We have had it in the Ford dealer twice. The first time they said there was no code so they couldn't do anything. The second time they said they reprogrammed the pcm with a recall 16b32. I will drop it off this morning for the 3rd time.

My 2010 Ford Fusion started expierencing transmission problems while at a traffic light last week. The car suddenly went into neutral while the gear shift was in the drive position. After pushing the gas pedal to the floor for several seconds the car slamed into gear. I took it immediately for repair. There have been no issues with this transmission proir to this event. The car has exactly 111,856 miles on it to date. The Ford dealership did an update on the powertrain control module and transmission control module. This did not fix the problem. Upon further inspection, the car was found to need a complete transmission replacement. I did some research and found hundreds of complaints online about Ford Fusions having transmission issues. I contacted Ford so that they could document yet another complaint about one of their Fusions having transmission failure, and asked that there be a recall issued. They said they had no intention of issuing a recall. So I am asking the NHTSA to put some pressure on them to seriously consider issuing a recall before someone gets injured due to a tranmssion failure on the road.

Transmission shifting erratically, completed Ford reflash of tcm (TSB# 12-6-12) and made the transmission flare and gear pause go away. However now the vehicle after driving it a few hundred miles shifts very hard. This also causes the vehicle to accelerate forward in an inconstant manner (example - pushing on the gas pedal the same amount 2 different times from a stop resulted in a jack rabbit start and the other accelerated more smoothly without the sudden jolt. ) the vehicle will do this repeatedly but only in light throttle applications, 1/2 throttle and above the transmission shifts perfect. The 6f35 transmission should be recalled for issues as the 2010-2016 model Fusion / escape vehicles have these issues when searching for common issues or remedies for the issues I've experienced.

Yellow wrench light keep coming on while driving only down the highway at 65 to 70 mph, it also intermittent therefore the dealer cannot ever find problem codes. The codes erase when you turn off the car. I lose half of engine power and no other controls work such as cruise control and manual shifting paddle shifting. I was also told that it was my : "pcm" that is giving me the trouble. Also the electric fan is running at full speed blowing out cold air, plus the smell of burning plastic. Also when the car is started and running for about 7 to 10 minutes, I turn on the heater at 73 degrees and it is warm. Then after turning on the heater and now leaving for work, I accelerate to get onto the freeway and soon noticed that the heater is now blowing cold air and I then turn the heater up higher to 77 then the same warmth come out then that goes away til I turn the heater way up to 83 degrees. This has never happened before, I had the coolant and oil replaced and it is still doing the same thing. I get two warnings showing the yellow wrench, "power reduced to cool down engine" and "engine overheat" the sunnyvale Ford dealer charged me $200. 00 dollars to see what was wrong with my car and said they have found nothing. But this problem only happens on the freeway driving at 65 to 75 mph. Our freeways speed limits are high on interstates 5. I do see older Ford tempo's going 80 mph and passing me while I cannot go faster to get out of the way of others. Quite insulting to me while I spend out of pocket and Ford says nothing and I get back a broken car that works sometimes. The extended warranties I pay for does not cover anything so I'm paying for a car that is soon to fail and leave me stranded at the same time I have to pay for it. Ford continue to say my car is running well and returning it back to me with problems unfixed.

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.

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion sel awd v6 which I purchased about 2 years ago. I have started noticing shifting problems with my car. It first started about 3 weeks ago now. The car acted like it couldn't figure out what gear to go in, while making a left turn through traffic it hesitated a lot & then figured out what gear to get into, barely avoiding an accident. I was then coming back from the airport with my sister & it clammed down in gears as we started to stop & then lunged forward 2 times almost hitting the car in front of me. I have taken it into the shop & they said they needed to reflash the pcm, this was done the day before yesterday. I got it back yesterday & it started doing the exact same things. I have seen that a recall notice was sent out to some people years ago with a time limit on getting this fixed. Recall notice 10b15. It said it ended in April of 2011. Can thr be a time limit on this sort of thing? some people don't have $1,000's of dollars to fix cars. What can someone do to correct this issue.

I was driving down the highway at approximately 65mph and came up behind a truck doing about 50mph. I changed lanes and went to pass the truck. As I passed the truck my car accelerated slowly and seemed to not switch gears at the right time, causing a hard shift and a "chug" feel. I passed the truck and slowed down to 60mph and as the car shifted again, it caused another hard shift and "chug" feel. This seems to be a common issue with Ford Fusions. Mine didn't start happening until after the pcm update recall that was done on 2/26/15. I took it into Ford after it happened the first time and they told me that since there is no wrench on the dash and no check engine light with a code, they can't find anything wrong and cannot replicate the problem I described to them. This is ridiculous that many cars have an issue but it looks like since there is no one that has been significantly injured or killed in an accident due to it, that it isn't being fixed. Please recall this and fix it before someone loses their life from this.
