While shifting from higher gear to lower gear while climbing a hill, transmission jumped between gears, slamming the gears as if popping a clutch (it's an automatic transmission). On another hill, the vehicle did not engage in the lower gear, revving up to about 4000 rpm as if in neutral, leaving the car decelerating on the uphill stretch among speeding traffic. I had to move the gear shift to neutral and back to drive, ease on the accelerator, and the lower gear engaged, after slowing to about 35 on 65 mph speed limit freeway. Ford lists the repair in TSB 08-24-1 as "transmission harsh shifting" and recommends replacement of the main control. This part has been identified as faulty and common with the transmissions installed on my vehicle and many other makes and models. It presents a clear danger to drivers and passengers who risk being rear-ended due to sudden deceleration or stranded due to "harsh shifting" damage to the transmission and drive train. I have no confidence driving the car out of town or near any hill, and the vehicles should be recalled.

While traveling on the interstate at 70 miles per hour the car suddenly lost power. The wrench icon illuminated and the transmission felt as if it had disengaged from the engine. There was no throttle response. I was able to pull over to the side of the road without incident. I shut off the ignition. After about 3 minutes I restarted the engine. The wrench icon disappeared. The engine and transmission performed normally after that.

While attempting to pass a vehicle, the transmission completely disengaged from the engine as if it were in neutral leaving me with no power to the wheels. The revs on the engine were extremely high. As I was passing on the left, this left me in an extremely dangerous and vulnerable position as I had no power to move the vehicle. Fortunately I was able to coast to the right at which time at a near stop the transmission violently re-engaged. First time, took to the dealership where they reprogrammed transmission. It has since happened again, again while accelerating to pass. It is just a matter of time before this kills someone. It is not safe, dealer claims that they can not reproduce, there are no codes. This issue is well documented here and elsewhere, there needs to be a recall.
The powertrain has suddenly caused major problems. My car will no longer reverse and more importantly as far as safety is concerned, the gears may sometimes not engage while accelerating causing the car to rev up the rpm's without moving forward.
Transmission was reprogrammed at a Ford dealership. A week later, the transmission exhibited periods of not wanting to engage and when it did the car would lunge forward. You could step on the gas pedal and your engine rpm's would increase but you would just sit there, not moving then suddenly the car will lunge forward. There are also instances where when slowing down for a stop sign the car would start to jerk. It's a dangerous situation since there were other cars at the intersection when the car decided to lunge forward after applying pressure to the accelerator and having the transmission not engage immediately. It occurs after the transmission is at full operating temperature. It is currently sitting at a dealership awaiting diagnosis and repair.
2010 Ford Fusion. Hard shift with second gear, taken to dealership and recall work done. They reprogrammed the transmission twice. The car remained with hard shift in second gear and high pitch sound under the hood, heard in the vehicle any time over 100 rpms. They replaced the transmission. I had the car back 2 days and the car did not engage in second gear this morning for 2 sec. Loud sound from under the hood. This is the third time back to the shop in less than a month for the transmission.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 70 mph, the contact stated that the transmission disengaged from the engine, causing loss of all power without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who reprogrammed the computer in June 2010; however, the problem occurred again in January 2011. The contact did not inform the manufacturer nor was the vehicle repaired. The current mileage was approximately 34,000. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000. The VIN was unavailable.
After the car has been unused for 2 or more days, the transmission evidences an engine flair where the gears are disengaged, followed by a very hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gears. Sometimes it also flares between 4th and 5th. This is a safety issue on left turns and when merging into traffic.
Throttle unresponsive on left hand turn at intersection. No power but engine idles. Throttle body replaced under warranty. Now several years later, the throttle body has failed twice at highway speeds of 55mph. Car rapidly decelerates. Transmission disengages.

I own a 2006 Ford Fusion 4 door sedan. Upon arriving home from a short trip, I attempted to shut my car off. I shifted into what I thought was park and shut the car off. My key would not release from the ignition. I attempted to shift the car into park again and it showed it was in park. The keys still would not release from the ignition. I finally went into my home and looked online. I found online a description of the problem and a temporary solution. It seems the decorative ring around the button on the shifter keeps the button from fully disengaging. I went back out to my car and tried to shift out of park without hitting the button and was successful at which time the car was easy to roll. If the car was parked on a slope and the shifter did not fully engage in park it is possible that it could pop into neutral and roll away. I attempted to call my local dealer and was told that the service department was closed and nobody would be able to help me. This has happened 3 or 4 other times and eventually the keys came out but on this particular incident I struggled with it for most of an hour before I finally looked on the internet for the solution.
