Ford Fusion 2 (Durashift) - ECU and/or activation motor failure - LucyBC

If the ECU and/or activation motors fail on the above model is it likely to be a sudden or instant occurrence or does it take place over a period of time?

If it does take place over a period of time can someone advise what the symptoms of the impending failure would be?

Failure would most likley be instant with an ECU, rarley do they suffer with an impending fault. Mostly a driver will suddenly fail/burn-out or suffer with a dry joint.

Solonoids/activation motors unless sticking ( if inside an autobox) normally just suddenly fail.

More common is the wiring inside an autobox to fail from deteriation
