Report: Harsh or Delayed Shifting of Automatic Transmission
Ford Fusion Problem
Model Years Affected: 2006, 2007, 2008
The automatic transmission may develop shifting concerns. On lower mileage vehicles, upgrading the software in the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM) may correct the problem. As the mileage increases, internal transmission damage can occur. Repairs could involve replacement of the valve body or a complete transmission rebuild. Whenever major transmission repairs are made, it is important to be sure the PCM and the TCM have the latest software updates to help prevent these issues from reoccurring.

Report #1Visitor, 2006 Ford Fusion, 101,336 mi
I have been having the same harsh shifting and jerking problems with my 2006 Ford Fusion for a year now. In the last couple of months it has been extreme. I have been in 65mph traffic and trying to change lanes when the car seemed to go into neutral. I had an eighteen wheeler coming down the hill in the lane behind me. I was fortunate enough that a left hand turning lane was right in front of me to pull over in. I may not have been here to type this complaint if not.
