2010 Ford Fusion: transmission slipping

Filed May 25, 2021 · Transmission · TX

While accelerating in my car, the transmission felt like it was slipping and jerks into gear. it happens anytime I go from a stop in the first few gears. It is very dangerous if I would have to move out of the way of traffic.

Over the past 6 months my ford fusion's transmission has slowly begun to lose its shifting abilities. It first started with sluggish and jerky movement when put into drive and the gas pedal was pressed. Then it started slipping and jerking while driving down the road. There was no specific speed that it needed to be going. It increased to an extremely high rev before making a loud bang and hard shift into gear. As of yesterday, while driving down the highway, it slipped out of gear as I was slowing to a stop then wouldn't reengage 2nd or 3rd gear. I limped it down the road to the nearest exit into a parking lot where I stopped in a parking spot. I turned the vehicle off and let it sit for a while before turning it back on. When I attempted to back out, reverse would not engage. I pushed it out of the spot and was able to get it into drive, then a quarter mile down the road all drive gears went out. I was able to coast it into another parking lot where I shut it off and let it sit for about 15 min to cool and tried again. Nothing. I lost all gears in the car. I had to have it towed to my house, since taking it to a mechanic would just lead to them informing me of the same thing that all other complaints and forums have stated online about this issue. A transmission change for a minimum of $2500 and there's no recall on a very well documented and serious issue regarding ford transmissions.

The transmission is slipping from 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And makes the car jerky and the car revs so high that it makes moving the car from a stand still a head ache meaning giving sufficient gap with the vehicle in front of me to avoid crashing into them. Manufacturers like toyota have transmission that last more than 20 years and its really weird for a award wining car to slip transmission within ten years. Ford needs to issue a recall and get the car fixed as there is arund 563 ish known complaints and more than 1000 unknown complaints that are all caused by the transmission in the federal safety agency page. The federal safety agency kindly do the needful in serving consumers their need for reliable and safe products to drive on the road.

From around 30000 miles on I have had a. N intermittent problem with trans. Slipping between 2nd & 3rd? Gears. Mentioned it to rutherford at least twice, was told they could find nothing wrong. Took car to desoto ford dealer while still under extended warr was told it might be dirt in valve body and if taken out and nothing found entire cost would have been on me. I have looked online and found numerous similar complaints. Now trans is slipping very often. I feel this is a common problem and should have been taken care of under original factory warranty. The problem always occurred while driving.

My car has a problem hanging up when you accelerate. This is my second transmission. First one went out at 41,000 and I had to get a new one. The car has a total of 109,000 on it and I think this transmission is going out. It hangs up when you accelerate so I have to be careful about how I accelerate .so that the gears will change. It is an automatic transmission. It has been slipping for at least the past 10,000 miles, I am worried that it will go out again. The last transmission went out in heavy traffic in dallas texas. We almost died in that incident. The car wouldn't go and stopped in the middle of the intersection. I am worried that the same thing will happen with this transmission. This problem started last year in early part of 2017 and is ongoing

I purchased this car new in 2009. With in a few months I had problems with the transmission. Putting the car into drive it would slam in the gear, not all the time but multiple times each month. The transmission slips while driving and will not shift properly, again randomly. Dealer can never duplicate the problem. I will put the last time this happened below as I do not recall the date the first time it happened

I was driving on the expressway when the wrench light came on. I went to see what the code was at autopart store and it read transmission over heating. About a week later same thing happened , I went to dealer and paid to put it on machine to find out same thing. Now I notice the transmission slips and acts funny and as of today light came on again. Now I will have to pay again to put on the machine. I read online how this is a problem with a lot of ford fusions.and ford has no solution. Shouldn't ford look into this problem better?

Since the vehicle was new the transmission slips or jumps into gear. The engine also hesitates when the gas pedal is pushed and then starts to go. Visits to three ford dealerships over the years and calls to ford have been useless. Ford dealers will charge for reprogramming of computer which does not fix the problem, there is what ford calls a recall but they will only fix the problem if the dash light comes on because their oil change people can't tell if there is a problem unless the light comes on. Ford has given me numerous "work tickets" but they are unwilling to fix the vehicle or don't know how. I know this is a common problem with ford vehicles after sitting in dealership waiting rooms with others who have the same issues. If you own a ford be careful when merging onto a highway because your vehicle may not go when you want it to.

I have had this car for 2 years now. I first had issues with the throttle body and my car shutting off at intersections and had that replaced within a year of buying the car. I have been having issues with the transmission slipping between 1st and 2nd gear for almost a year now. I first had seals replaced. The second time I had my cv joint boots replaced and found out they are wearing out the seals that are causing transmission leaks. The car is in the shop for the 3rd time because of the same transmission leaks and difficult shifting between 1st and 2nd gear and will most likely be getting a new transmission because the cv joints and seals have failed again within the 3 months of being replaced.
