| The car went into limp mode for no reason. vehicle would not go faster then 20mph. this cold of caused an accident. took to local shop and was told a sensor in the electronic throttle body was bad and therefore could not read throttle position accurately, sending the car into limp mode. new throttle body cost $600. if this would of happened at highway speeds this would of been a serious safety issue due to not being able to control vehicle speed without any notice. | |||

| Transmission would shift out of a gear, car would rev up to high, then transmission would shift violently back in jerking the car around feeling like you have been rear ended. the transmission will slam so hard into gear when trying to accelerate( i have had this experience accelerating at 45mph and at 65mph) engine light comes on stays on for a few days goes off problem comes back a few days later. only solution when this happens is to pull over and shut the car off. once car is turned back on the gear shifter (automatic) is very tight to put in revers or drive. | |||

| 2006 ford fusion se with 2.3l i-4 engine. 75,000 miles. two bolts on left engine mount fractured causing engine to fall into engine bay. engine fell on and is being supported by the drive shaft which is touching the frame of the vehicle. this caused the cv boot to rupture. car is unsafe to drive with such a failure. fortunately this happened in my driveway. had it happened only 10 minutes before, it would have occurred on i-20 in downtown atlanta at rush hour and would have likely caused an accident. called ford customer service and they took a record of the incident but were not helpful beyond that. i need a new engine mount, new cv boot, and everything under the engine to be realigned. | |||

| At less than 5000 miles my car would hesitate when going to accelerate. i have taken my car to the dealership at least 4 times for this issue. it is now in the shop again because when i would turn left something in the steering column was loose. *jb | |||
