The car will pulsate and shake when driving, then the check engine light would come on. you can't accelerate, like there no accelerating in then the car cut off, which is danger. i have had this car for less then a year, i just payed close to 1,000 bucks getting it fix from having electrical problems that my warranty did not cover. i had to take to the shop for things that was or recalled., in now this. i think i was sell a lemon.
Bushing with transmission cable came off, with it in gear, even tho shifted into park, its a known recall on other models but this one is not recalled, and i had to pay for this to be fixed. not right
Didn't receive anything about this problem whatsoever.
Shift cable keeps coming off
My shifter cable bushing broke today inspite of getting the recall(18s20) done less than five months ago(23july19) at town and country ford at bessemer, alabama. fortunately the vehicle was parked in front of my house and was not in motion. i figured something was off when i the gear shifter moved much smoother than normal. when i stepped on the gas the vehicle wouldn't move. i revved a little more but nothing happened and then i noticed that none of the gears showed that they were engaged in my gage cluster. i immediately turned off the vehicle and popped the hood and found what the issue was. my shifter cable bushing was not in place. i verified my previous service record(attached) to make sure the dealer did the recall repairs and it's was done. but the new bushings snapped off too.
A part for my cars 'shifting cable' has been recalled several times, prior to the recall i had to personally pay out of pocket to replace said shifting cable. at this time my car continues to have severe/dangerous shifting problems. ex: when i'm driving and it's needs to shift gears the car jerks incredibly hard. when i stop at a stop sign and attempt to accelerate i get nothing like the car has shifted to neutral. pedal to the floor car will not go. as you can see this can/could cause a severe wreck, hurting my self my children, and other drivers. this part i can not afford to replace as every time i take the vehicle to ford the piece that has been recalled is not specifically the problem but in the same area. i'm at a loss on how to handle the situation. i'm reaching out with great concern.
Its been 3 years since i have had my car and i have not been notified by ford that i have a recall. not by phone, email, or even in person. the only reason i know i have three is because of my family member who notified me. i have called multiple ford dealerships to complain and get it fixed but they don't seem to want to help. every time i go or call they take my number and that is it. so i just keep going trusting they will call me back. and this week my car starts to have troubles and my transmission hard shifts into second gear and i damage the front and bumper of my car. i took it to my local mechanic and he says the problem comes from the recalled part. and now my car is parked until i can get it fixed and i have called ford and they wont help.

While in motion on major interstate the vehicle lost acceleration causing traffic to swerve around vehicle as it slowed to a stop. the vehicle was running but would not move in any gear selected. the vehicle had to be towed and left my family stranded on the shoulder. the dealer informed me the transmission failed before first recommended service of 150,000 miles of service. unable to check fluid due to no dipstick on the model attached to the 1.5l engine. dealer claims trans pump went out causing failure.
I purchased my ford while it was still under the warranty. i took it to a dealer because i was losing power while driving in a certain gear at a certain rpm after the engine was running for about 30 minutes. i was told it was a wiring issue which i had the dealer fix. by this time i was close to the warranty being up. it didnt fix the issue. the vehicle loses power intermittently or stutters. i get p0352 codes. i have been dealing with it because it is intermittent but recently the wiring harness melted on an ignition coil. i have replaced the ignition coils, the pig tail, the spark plugs, changed transmission fluid, rechecked all the cables, and once the dealer reprogrammed the pcm. it has to be the transmission but because it is intermittent the dealer cant find anything wrong. i actually lost power once at low speeds after the transmission slipped and dinged a poll causing a dent in my car. thankfully i only lost power once on the high way and no one hit me. since i am out of warranty i am forced to find the cause and fix it ...
I put my vehicle in park but my car was still in reverse. i got out of the vehicle and it started to roll away. the shifter said park but the car was in reverse. i had to put the emergency brake on and eventually tow my vehicle home.

Knocking noise when pressing gas pedal to put car in motion. knocking noise when shifting from drive to reverse and vise versa (no gas). knock when accelerating after rounding a turn. noise is light enough that it is mostly discernible when there is low road noise, such as beginning from a stop or when in electric mode.
