Ford Fusion Transmission Oil Leaks from Left Side Half Shaft Area

Have had our 2010 Ford Fusion less then a year and thankfully purchased an extended warranty. We noticed the transmission slipping really bad from 1st-2nd and it's more noticable when the car is cold. Just took it to the service center at the ford dealer and they replaced the drivers side axle seal. Got it home and a few hours later have noticed it's still leaking and a small puddle on the garage floor. Called the service center at the ford dealer and they are sending a tow truck down in the morning to get it and take another look at it and HOPEFULLY fix it! I would not recommend buying a Ford Fusion to ANYONE! They are known for this problem as well as the Ford Edge (in which we owned a 2007 edge that had the same problem) and the Escapes! I wish we had done our research before purchasing this car! BIG MISTAKE!!!

I have only owned this car for about 6,000 miles. Found a puddle in my driveway about 6 inches around and took it into the ford dealer and they wanted $110 just to diagnose the problem and they couldnt look at it for 2 weeks. I took it to a local transmission shop and had it fixed for $300 on the same day I took it in.

Heard a rigging noise in left front wheel area when making a right turn. Took car into dealership for service they informed me I lost a quart of transmission flluid and the transmition seal was leaking. Dealership informed me there is a redesign due to many field complaints. Replacement redesign part is not available, back ordered. Cost to replace $469 . Ford knows there is a field problem an not recalling vehicles. I am of the opinion they want the public to pay for their error. Not happy !

I noticed a puddle under my car for the past week. Thinking it was my husband's Ford Edge whose left axle seal was just replaced, I ignored it until I noticed my car RPMs were jumping and slipping. Then I noticed it was my car that was leaking, and now my left axle seal needs to be replaced. BOTH cars within 2 months. UGH!! I hope this gets fixed.

My 2010 Ford Fusion has this problem. I noticed a small (half-dollar sized) leak of transmission fluid on the garage floor, and the transmission started slipping when cold as it was low on transmission fluid. Took it to a local dealer and they said its leaking fluid out of the front axle shaft, which has to be replaced. Thank God it happened now while still under the powertrain warranty! This is the second major repair I've had on this car, hopefully, it will be the last.
