Description of the problem | My 2006 ford fusion transmission started slipping at 34,000 miles. Dealer said there was nothing they could do since my car was made in the first part of 2006, no additional warranties were available. I bought the car under the assumption that there was a warranty still available. Now my transmission is going out, i still owe 11,000 on my car. After talking to alot of fusion people, this appears to be a very very common problem. It's also very dangerous, the car slips out of gear revs up and then pops back into gear just as you are trying to get into a lane. Very dangerous, i have almost wrecked several times and had to pull over. |
