Took car to dealership to have recall repairs fixed, now with repairs it has now caused a hard shift in gears. recall repair has now caused another issue that was not a problem until recall work was completed. i was parked and car wouldn't come out of gear.
Brought car in for service due to check engine light and battery not charging. replaced battery, but check engine light remained on. again, went to get get diagnostic, resulted in needing catalytic converter. picked up car and check engine light came back on. returned to service next day. diagnostic showed coolant leaked into the engine and head gasket needing replacing. the result is needing a new motor. this issue seems similar to nhtsa campaign number: 17v209000. my issue seems to be related to this recall on the 2013 and 2014 fusions. ford is provided $3,000 for the repair due to me being over 600 miles over power train. my concern is the recall to the 13 and 14 fusion could be broader than those years.

I have 107,000 miles on 2015 ford fusion. on my way home my car lost power and was not shifting. i was able to make it home. i had car towed to tuttle click ford in san juan capistrano, ca. i was notified that i was going to need a new transmission. totally unacceptable, and i voiced my concerns to the service manager. i have done research online and found many complaints with the exact same symptoms with ford fusions. i have sent emails to mr. ford and the customer service manager and ceo of ford and have not received any response. there are no recalls for this issue for my model year, yet it seems to be an ongoing problem. also ford focus and festival have had a number of complaints as well. my car was on a city street in motion when the sudden loss of power and jerking motion started.
As i was driving on highway doing 55 mph, my ford fusin 2015 wrench light came on and seat belt light along with car loosing power. power dropped down to under 20mph and had to place emergency blinkers on to pull over to side of highway barely made it. taken to dealership no codes were found to indicate the problem and could not be duplicated. battery was replaced due to next day the battery was dead. 2 weeks later , while driving on the street going 35 mph same issue occurred . the rpm reved up and dropped down along with wrench light and seat belt light coming n. back to the dealership no codes stored to indicate the issue. this is very scary to lose power while driving and may cause an accident or even death. there are alot of complaints regarding this matter, you would think ford would do something about it, unfortunately nothing has been done yet. maybe someone has to be dead for them to take it into consideration. i'm going to purchase a chevy!! be safe everyone!!!

We have a 2015 ford fusion se. we were the 2nd owner and purchased from a dealership. while driving the car it started sounding like fluid in the dashboard and the car started shaking. then it started blowing out tons of white smoke out the tail pipe, then the check engine light came on. we pulled over, parked car. let sit and cool down. there was oil, transmission fluid, and coolant in the car. we have done all oil changes and maintenance regularly. we had the car towed to the dealership. after several days they came back stating it is a manufacturer defect and that basically the car sucked in coolant through the engine and was burning (reason for white smoke). it ruined the engine. the manufacturer warranty was over at 60k miles........we have 65k and ford is refusing to cover the issue even though this is a defect that on their end. also the intake manifold was replaced at 46k miles. how can ford state that they are not responsible? we paid $16k for a car we have had barely over a year and now a pile of scrap metal.
When the car is cold the transmission shifts hard, from park to reverse then to all gears until we get to the correct speed. i took it to the dealer i bought it from while it was still under warranty (about 50000 miles on it). they said they couldn't do anything unless they could duplicate the problem and of course they couldn't get it to. well now it has started doing it more often even when the car is warm. i feel like this is an issue with a lot of fusions.

My car has 109,227 miles on it. and the transmission is shifting hard and delaying. this is making the car unsafe to drive and sometimes acts like it doesn't want to go into gear. other people have complained on the internet. in a car this new still should have not have this issue so soon. there should be an investigation and a recall to correct the issue. this happens every time. from highway to city. and even when doing 50 and speeding up to 70 it still shifts hard.
Safety recall 18s20 / 18v471 2015 ford fusion w/ 60,000 miles. as i began arrived home and planned to back into my driveway i placed the vehicle into reverse, however, the car wouldn't reverse and seems to be stuck in gear. it appears that the vehicle is in park but the car isn't actually in park & i must have the emergency brake on to keep the vehicle from rolling. now the car will not start because it apparently is stuck in gear although as previously stated, it shows to be in park. also, the shifter will not move at all now. frustrating to say the least. worst part is the dealership says they do not have the necessary parts to make the repair but have no exact timeframe for when they may be able to provide a solution...what are we supposed to do???

On august 20th, 2018 i prepared to park my ford fusion se. i pulled forward aligning the car with the parking space. i placed the automatic transmission gear shift stick in reverse. i pressed on the gas pedal. instead of the car going backwards in reverse the car moved forward as in drive. fortunately there were no people or property in front me. had there been a person in front of me, my vehicle would have run over them possibly causing severe injury or death. the car could not be driven and was towed to a ford dealership where a mechanic stated the problem was with the bushing in the transmission cable that had to lead to significant enough wear to cause the transmission shifter cable to break. ford presents this as a benign problem that could cause the car to fail to shift into park. my experience was the car not only failed to shift into park when i tried. my experience was the car went in the opposite direction from the gear i shifted it into. as stated this has the potential to cause death, severe injury and property damage. i contacted ford this morning. there was response was "we are sorry." there is no acknowledgement about the serious safety issue involved. this issue is the subject of a ford recall: 18s20 / nhtsa 18v471. my ford dealer acknowledged there was a recall that was going to happen back in july but he did not specify what the recall issue was about. ford is dragging its feet on this recall. ford is delaying solving this problem. my car can not be driven. ford is stating i must $841.00 in expenses to repair this recall and i will then be reimbursed. when contacted by the dealer, mossy ford in san diego, ca on my behalf, ford motor company refused to pay for the recall and said i, the customer would have to pay for it. what if this had happened while i was travelling 65mph down i5 in san diego?

I pulled in to a parking space and placed my vehicle in park, as i was getting ready to exit my car the car started to move forward, i check to make sure the vehicle was in park, the shifter was stuck in park, and the instrument panel was in drive. i checked to assure the vehicle was off and removed the key and put the parking brake on. i was panicked that my car was still in motion and could have it hit another vehicle, or a person in the parking lot or myself. when the tow truck driver removed the parking break the car was still out of gear and the open door knocked him off balance. the ford dealer found that the bushing on the shifter cable was missing, and the whole shifter cable and bushing had to be replaced. i have no confidence that the parts put on my vehicle are going to last. when i asked about the recall, i was told that the recall was not in effect yet, because the parts are unavailable. i paid for this out of pocket. i did not receive a safety notice as stated in the nhtsa recall #18v-471 report. i believe that ford is very negligent in notifications to the owners of there vehicles. a letter to owners as stated in the above report "description of remedy program" is a simple thing to have issued so people are safe, before the parts are available; i did not receive a letter from ford motor co. if something is not done soon someone is going to be injured or killed by this issue. i believe that this vehicle is very unsafe to drive with the steering wheel recall and i also had to have the steering box replaced also.
