When driving on city street at 45mph the car jolted excessively once and then went out of gear untill it slowed to 30mph and slammed again violently and rpms went up to 5000 which maintaned my speed at 45mph at that time the wrench light came on and as i was coming to a red light it jerked forward while i was braking almost hit a pedestrian in crosswalk. at green light i attempted to accelerate but the car moved slowly untill it reached 25 mph and then went out of gear while i was on the gas i tried to put it into low gear to get going so i could pull over but it didnt respond as this was happening a desiel truck had rear ended me totaling the car i just bought a week prior. . its very unsafe car for this transmission is apparently plagued with this problem for so many others i just hope it dosent take even one death of another life before this problem is admitted and recalled to fix. so many depend on their car as i had depended on fords slogans built ford tough ...yeah built to get us nearly ...
Transmission slipping, shift extremely hard from 2nd to 3rd. feels as if the motor and tranny is gonna fall out of the vehicle.
My 2006 ford fusion jerks violently while attempting to accelerate or brake. it does not accelerate at times, it instead just revs my rpm gauge. it has happened on the highway going hwy speeds of 60-70, as well as going 35 mph on a military base. it bumped while braking at speeds less than 20 mph as well. ford needs to issue recalls on this vehicle because it is absolutely unsafe, especially for customers with children. the amount of complaints similar to mine is appalling, as ford still sees no responsibility over it.
2006 ford fusion: transmission slipping while driving. slows down while on freeway and goes in out of gear. took it to ammco and they recommend a rebuilt transmission. i see many of the same complaints they recalled focus and fiesta why not fusion? it is the same issue that is in being settled now with the focus and ford fiesta. this is not only dangerous but costly. i have finally found out what the issue is with the aisin transmissions slipping which were used in the 2006 fusion http://www.fordtransmissionproblems.com/fusion-transmission-problems/
2006 ford fusion: when driving after the car gets warm up it is starts slipping and shifting someone harshly like it just got kicked. i was on the freeway and couldn't speed up almost got rear ended. i see others have the same issue after doing a search i found different answer as what could be wrong. found out what the issue is with the aisin transmissions slipping which were used in the 2006 fusion. it is due to valve bore wear in the main control. if the trans fluid isnt burnt (meaning there is internal trans clutch damage) then you are looking at $800-$1000 to replace the main control. if the clutches are burnt the whole trans will have to be replaced cost??? something like $4000-$5000. the problem is that when ford bought the aisin trans, ford did not buy the service rights. so there are no service parts available or training avail on how to service this trans. the issue with the main control has been so common that aisin has agreed to supply ford with service main controls.there has been a technical service bulletin out there. see below tsb bulletin date: feb 2007 ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford fusion. while driving between 20-38 mph, the vehicle failed to shift gears, jerked severely, and the check engine and transmission warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to anderson ford lincoln (3601 stockton hill rd, kingman, az 86409, (928) 757-3131) where it was diagnosed that the 4th and 5th gears were incorrect. while the vehicle was at the dealer for the gear repairs, it was also diagnosed that the valve body and solenoids needed replacement, and the pcm and tcm needed reprogramming. all the repairs were completed, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was then taken to an independent transmission facility where it was diagnosed with the same failure and parts as the dealer. the contact stated that the vehicle was once again repaired, but the failure persisted. the vehicle was taken to another independent transmission facility where it was diagnosed that the entire transmission needed replacement and the failure was a known issue with ford. the contact stated that the transmission was not replaced because he already spent money to have the transmission repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was ...
Wrench light appeared on dash and while driving the car on the city streets the car has a sluggish start and then a bit of a burst and then light power as i accelerate. also i have had to change door handles and locks 3 times since i have purchase. the handles just snap off. the car will unlock but i have to manually lock most locks and open the car by putting down the window.

Vehicle after warming up and put in gear will only move forward very slowly takes several minutes before i can get a acceptable forward motion. can not go in traffic as car only moves at a very small rate of speed. eventually it will go into the normal mode for driving car forward..
When pressing the gas pedal to accelerate to merge on to the highway the car jerked and then will not go anywhere the motor just reaves up. until you pull over and turn it off and restart it is the only way to get it to move again.
Was on the freeway in traffic. car starting surging and was hard to keep it in a stopped position. once traffic started flowing, i stepped on gas and would had no power could not accelerate past 20 miles an hour. car was towed to shop. dealer said it was the throttle body. i researched and ford has had this problem on their cars, but said mine is not included even though i fell into the 10 year under 150,000 miles. they said my vin is not covered.
