2010 Ford FUSION Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	23/04/10

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After stopping for a red signal in traffic (vehicle travel uphill) the vehicle lost drive (acted as if the vehicle had been shifted out of gear). After a harsh engagement, the vehicle regained drive. The vehicle was driven home without further incident that day. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to get the pcm "flashed", i assume with a new shift profile. The vehicle malfunctioned two more times with a data recorder from the dealership installed. The loss of drive occurred after rapidly decelerating to slightly less than 40 mph and then trying to accelerate to the previous speed. Again, engagement was harsh when the transmission began to provide drive. Ford has acknowledged at least one engine rpm spike from the recorder, but denies that it is significant or that it is indicative of a problem. I have had the transmission fluid from this vehicle tested at an independent laboratory. The sample results showed the transmission fluid to be high in aluminum (7 times the average for a unit with similar miles), and high in iron about 1. 6 times the average. This problem is a great safety concern because if the vehicle were to lose drive when pulling out into traffic, an accident involving injury or death could occur! I have found a youtube video posted that represents the problem i am experiencing by using the google search engine and using the querry "ford fusion transmission problems" since the pcm flash the automatic transmission seems to behave at times like a manual transmission. On a coastdown it seems like the transmission is "pushing " the car like a manual transmission with the clutch engaged even though i want the car to coast down. The reprogramming has made shifting more harsh in some gear changes, and seem to skip over the problem gears in other shifts.
