Some Ford Fusion owners report experiencing significant issues with their transmission and powertrain, including transmission failure as early as 41,000 miles. This failure can lead to a complete breakdown of the transmission system, with many owners noting problems such as slips, jerks, and delays in acceleration. Common automatic transmission issues reported include burning smells and difficulty shifting. Additionally, some owners have encountered powertrain faults at around 100,200 miles, which can manifest as slipping gears or sudden loss of power, sometimes resulting in serious internal engine problems like cylinder breakage. It is crucial for owners facing these issues to seek prompt diagnosis and repair from a qualified mechanic or Ford dealership to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
