Bought a used 2006 fusion 6 months ago, and the smart junction box (sjb) apparently shorted out. it happened right after it rained, and was acting up a couple months ago after heavy rain as well, leading me to believe that there is moisture getting to it somehow. replacement would cost over 600$ and if there was moisture getting to the original one, how long will the new one take to have the same thing happen, another 4 years? *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. the contact stated that the key was stuck in the ignition. he had to use the spare key to lock and unlock the doors. since the key was stuck in the ignition he left it there. eventually the contact was able to remove the key from the ignition; however, the failure continued to occur. the dealer was contacted and stated that they could replace the key for $180.00 at the owners expense or replace the entire shift assembly for approximately $500.00. the drivers side door handle was also defective. the failure and current mileages were approximately 92,000.

I purchased my ford fusion in april 2006. since then, i have had a number of problems. during the same year of purchase, the rear left tail light and a fuse blew. about a 1 1/2 years later the same rear light blew. in 2009, the driver side door handle broke from the inside of the door panel, the air blower began spontaneously coming on by itself when the air or the heat is not on,i replaced a battery and the car began to hesitate when accelerating. last but not least in 2010, today actually, i park my car and was unable to remove the key from the ignition. i plan to go to the dealership tomorrow to determine the cause and resolution to this particular issue. i have paid over hundreds of dollars for all these repairs, which occurred right after my warranty was up. *tr

Bought the car used with approx. 45,000 miles on it from ford dealership. within a week i was back at the ford dealership i bought it at. the car would not accelerate, stuck in gear, jerk violently. they gave me a loaner car to drive, another 06 ford fusion. they told me there was nothing wrong with the car and it was the way i drive. i told them i didn't have any problems with the loaner car or any other car i've ever driven or owned. they insisted i was wrong. over the next month i brought the car back to the dealership and encountered the same resistance. the problem got progressively worse and dangerous to drive to the point where i would be going 60+ mph on a highway and the car went into neutral. the transmission completely failed in 2010, at that time i had it replaced, costing $3,000. may 31, 2012 - approx 65,000 miles. similar problems again. car would not accelerate, very hesitant, entire car shakes violently while driving. check engine like came on. i took the car to my mechanic, he tested and determined three coils went bad. looked in the car and discovered the coils had actually melted. with research, determined the computer system had failed. coils and computer system need to be replaced. approx cost (so far) - $1500.00. *tr

I have about 30,000 miles on my car. due to a leak at my oil filter (info provided by dealer) my oil level got too low. my oil light flashed on twice but did not remain on. i checked and added oil. i drove it into the dealer two days later. they ran tests and said my bearings were bad and i needed a new engine. my check engine light never came on and my oil light never stayed on. because i have no receipts from my oil changes this will not be covered by warranty. *tr
