6F35 Six Speed Aotomatic Transmission. Coasting to a stop from around 50 MPH when you get to approx 42 MPH you feel the transmission downshift like you are driving a stick shift. Tack goes up car jerks and slows. Is this suppose to happen on a automatic transmission? I don't think so, I think Ford has a problem. Ford says nothing is wrong.    

I also have a 2010 fusion 4 cylinder, 6 speed auto, with 600 miles. If I let the car   sit for several days the transmission slips in 3rd and 4th like I am holding a clutch in and then revs up and goes into gear. It does fine after I drive a few miles. Ford checked it out and said there was nothing wrong. Let me know if you get any resolution concerning this.  

I have the same issue, mainly going from 2nd to 3rd, but occasionally from 4th to 5th as well. The shortest rest time has been 24 hours, but most of the time it's been after the weekend. Works fine after a couple of accellerations. I'm up to just over 1200 miles and it's still doing it. Haven't had a chance to bring it in since they probably wouldn't be able to recreate the issue without having to let it sit for one to two days. I have this issue posted on another forum and hope to hear something about it soon. I'll post back here if I get anything back.  

I just recently purchased a 2010 ford fusion and had the same type of problems with the transmission.  felt like it was slipping from 2-3 gear and hit hard sometimes when putting in reverse.  and finally the other day put in drive and it took about 25 seconds to engage.  took to dealer and they said tranny is shot.  it is in shop now getting replaced.  only 7,000 miles  not looking too promising  

My 2010 Fusion is at the Dealership now for the same issue, I will be sure to let ya'll know what they say about it  

I have the same problem with my 2010 Ford Fusion.  I had it in the shop a little over a month ago.  They had to replace a part in the transmission.  It took them almost 2 weeks because they couldn't get the part from Ford.  I thought it was all fixed so imagine my surprise when it starts acting crazy again tonight.  It wouldn't shift out of first gear and the RPM's just kept going up.  We shut it off for about 1/2 hr and when we started it again, it drove fine.  Needless to say, it's going back to the dealership in the morning and I am not a happy camper.    

Yep!! Mine has been at the dealer for a week now and they are telling me that the part is still a week out! I think this is something that should be brought to others attention that is considering buying a 2010 Fusion! You would think with Ford knowing that this is an issue, they would have the parts on hand at all dealerships. Please let me know what the problem was the 2nd time (per the last post) if you can so I can get it resolved before it leaves the dealer.  

Ummm now I don't know what to do lol...  I'm buying a car this week and yeah Fusion was probably at the top of my list.  I was extremely iffy about going American again just because of past experiences, over and over I say no but then I find something like this that I like, buy it, then it just goes downhill from there.  I was looking at the top of the line V6, its the blue 2tone leather that got me.  Now I really don't know what to do.  This completely shot down everything that took me weeks to decide.  I definitely must follow up on this.  Well wish me luck if I go for it lol..
