2008 Ford Fusion Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I was driving home the car started shaking and idling very rough. Check engine light came on and the car died on me right in the middle of traffic. I was stuck on a city street during rush hour traffic.got it to a dealer coil pack had exploded frying the power train control module. Research shows this is an issue on fusions 2006-2009. But no resolutions are offered by Ford.”

“Was not notified of any recalls on this vehicle when I purchased it. I had an accident last month and the brakes locked up and I couldn't control the steering and went careening off the roadway into a stationary sign and tow up the passenger side of my vehicle. The passenger air bag never deployed. Nor the driver air bag.”

“Why isn't there a recall on the brakes and transmission, our brake pedal went all the way down to the floor on a few occasions, then it seemed fine, and it would happen again, there have been numerous complaints on this issue, we had to pay $2,700 to have Ford fix it, and the transmission jumps, when you step on the gas the car lurches and this is going to cost a lot of money that we don't have.”

“The transmission started being difficult to shift into gear. Then, I have started hearing a whirring sound from the engine compartment. After reading up on some of the problems, it appears my torque converter is dying! Which will lead to total transmission failure!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ thanks Ford!”

“The rear carrier bearing is already wearing out. From searching around on the internet, this is a known problem. My car only has 65000 miles on it, there should be no reason for this to happen. You can't find a replacement bearing, so it makes me thing Ford knows about the issue but is not willing to do anything about it; leaving people to hope the drive shaft doesn't fall out going down the road.”
