| Error code for engine temperature being too low. the cause is believed to be a thermostat stuck open. the fix is a replacement of the thermostat and ford must be aware of this problem as they have replaced the oem thermostat with a higher temperature rated one. by looking at numerous automobile forums on the internet this is a very common problem. *tr | |||

| My transmission is slipping a lot. i will be accelerating my speed and all of the sudden my car acts like it is in neutral. i have read a lot of complaints from other ford fusion owners stating the same problem. this needs to be recalled. this is very unsafe. driving on the highway and then all of the sudden your transmission slips and there are cars at fast speeds traveling next to you and behind you is not safe at all. *tr | |||

| Car has multiple issues with hard revs of the transmission. it has caused me to have to slow because it feels like the entire car shifts so hard that it is gonna break apart. car now does not even rev. reviewed hundreds of complaints online about same problem with the 2006 ford fusion and nothing is being done. it is horrible! something needs to be done. there is no recall and even after replacing parts on the transmission or the entire transmission as hundreds have said they did, the problem still occurs shortly there after! | |||

| 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 | |||
