Problem description: ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2013-2014 ford escape, and 2013-2016 ford fusion vehicles, equipped with six- speed automatic transmissions. the bushing that attaches the transmission shifter cable to the transmission may degrade over time and cause the bushing to detach from the transmission. the condition could allow the driver to move the shift lever to park and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in park, with no warning message or audible chime. this issue is listed in the nhtsa campaign number 18v-471 but my vehicles individual vin isn't listed in the recal along with other 2016 ford fusions listed in the recall.
My transmission cable came off due to plastic bushing, that attaches cable end to transmission shifter arm in engine compartment. my shifter inside car was in park but transmission was in reverse and rolled away. could not start it until i moved transmission lever to park position. cheap plastic bushing... needs upgraded.

Ford issues two safety recalls in north america 2014-16 ford fusion vehicles built at hermosillo stamping and assembly plant between june 2, 2014 and aug. 31, 2015 select 2013-16 model year ford fusion and 2013-14 ford escape vehicles to replace shifter cable bushings ford is issuing a safety recall in north america for approximately 550,000 2013-16 model year ford fusion and 2013-14 ford escape vehicles to replace shifter cable bushings. on affected vehicles, the bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may detach from the transmission. a degraded shifter cable bushing that detaches from the transmission may allow the transmission to be in a gear state different than the gear shift position selected by the driver. the condition could allow the driver to move the shift lever to 'park' and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in 'park,' with no warning message or audible chime. if the parking brake is not applied, a degraded shifter cable bushing that detaches from the transmission could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash. ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. this happen to me and now ford is not honoring the recall stating it does not apply to my vehicle after investigating which plant assembly made my vehicle by the vin number it shows...plant city: hermosillo -- manufacturer: ford motor company, mexico. .

Transmission cable connection broke. car was in a parking lot, could not put into park. could not continue our two hrs home. stuck at the end of our vacation. why is this recall taking 2 yrs! i had to reach down by the exhaust headers and manualy shift while my wife steered! total crap!!!!
Yesterday, i put my car in reverse to get out of a parking space. when i shifted my automatic into drive, the car continued to back up. i put my car into park to see what was wrong. although my shifter was in park, my car was stuck in neutral and began to coast forward. i unable to get my car into part. ford sent me a recall notice that states that this is a problem (safety recall notice 18s29/ nhtsa recall 18v471). i had my car towed to the nearest ford dealership (bob davidson ford). the next morning the dealership service department called and i would have to pay $576 to repair the faulty part that is subject to the recall. that makes absolutely no sense. first, why should i have to pay to have an unsafe part put in my car until the correct part is available and why should i pay for any repair of a part that is subject to a safety recall?
When driving my check engine light randomly turns on, on the freeway, street, turning, etc. and then it says check manual. the car starts shaking and you can't accelerate. in order to get where i need to be i have to pull over constantly and restart the car. i got it checked at auto zone and it said it was the throttle body actuator stuck in the open position. oh and becomes more difficult to steer the vehicle when the error pops up.
I went to put my car in reverse to back out of a parking lot and when i went to put it in drive the vehicle did not move from reverse, almost resulting in a crash. i then tried to shift to park and it still remained in reverse. i later tried to shift to park and it still wouldn't shift so i turned it off and tried to turn it back on and wouldn't turn on because the vehicle was not in park. i left it in reverse with the parking brake on and the next morning had it towed to shawnee mission ford.

Car stopped accelerating in the middle of the highway, yellow wrench light came on and airbag light came on. the car started shaking and came to a complete stop. i barely made it to safety on the highway full of cars. i pulled over and turned it off because it wouldn't drive. i turned it back on and it drove fine. i have researched this and realized this has been happening to thousands of people who own 2016 fusions and yet there is no recall. i am terrified of driving it. it seems to be the throttle body that needs complete replacement but at expense of the owner despite thousands of cases. how can this be? please advise.
Shaking no power won't accelerate and jerking when backing up
Extremely hard shifts with hesitation just prior. ihave taken the vehicle in and have been told they cannot repeat the problem and the shifting is normal. (the mileage and date are approximate as the problem is ongoing)
This vehicle has had a dead battery 3 times after sitting overnight. no extra power draws we added. the last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. the engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay de-energized performance - too early. this vehicle has already been brought into the dealership where they performed a battery test and reprogrammed the modules. this was less than 1 month till it happened again
This vehicle has had a dead battery 2 times after sitting overnight. no extra power draws we added. the last resulted with the engine light on once it was jump started. the engine code that was on was a p068a ecm/pcm power relay de-energized performance. it will be scheduled to go to the dealership to try to resolve this issue
Harsh or delayed shifting when starting from a stopped position or after slowing in traffic and trying to accelerate. happens in drive and reverse. i bought the car new and has been happening since. only 1150 miles on car at this time. have taken to dealership several times with no resolution.
Similar to issues others were having with the throttle control placing the car into "limp" mode, it would appear that this is what happened yesterday as my wife was driving the car on a major highway near pittsburgh (376 west, near the split of 79 north/south) with me in the passenger seat, and three kids under the age of 9 in the back seat. without warning, the car seemingly shut off or "throttled down" and began to shimmy and shake, losing most of its functionality. we were forced to pull to the side of the road, which we barely did, with vehicles speeding past at 4 lane highway speeds. the following day, i contacted ford and explained the situation but was not told anything about this systemic issue. it was not until i discovered the issue on my own, that i learned about the fact that ford has not issued a recall for the electronic throttle body control but instead a "customer satisfaction program" which was not communicated to me, to the best of my knowledge, until after we nearly lost our lives and i had to have the car towed. this issue is going to get someone killed (if it has not already happened) and it would appear that ford fails to appreciate it. my vehicle has just over 18,000 miles on it. i own 2 ford vehicles but won't be buying another.
While driving today, i suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. the vehicle began to vibrate abnormally, and then the power went out. i began to smell smoke, and i almost hit the vehicle in front of me because i couldn't control my car! once i finally came to a stop, i was able to restart it and pull over to a safer area-- but the smoke remained. i believe the throttle body is malfunctioning, which is unacceptable on an almost-new car.
The etb (electronic throttle body) has failed twice. once causing complete mechanical failure, the other causing the vehicle to go into limp home mode. i've read thousands of similar reports about 2013-2016 fusions doing the same thing. this hasn't costed me any money but it's extremely dangerous, for the car wont move over 8 mph suddenly.
When i was leasing this vehicle the power steering system assault light started coming on then piwer steering stopped working and i had no power steering at all. my transmission also failed. ford dealer refused to fix it because i was over the lease mileage. i was sent home with the car without power steering and in need of transmission replacement. the mechanic told me to pay the 3.000 to fix it because i was risking my life. the manager said there was nothing he could do under the lease warranty. but it was a lease and i did not have the money for repairs. i later discovered 5 recalls for the car. i was only notified of two, steering and transmission. this was in the past few months when i no longer have the car. . accidents occurred before the steering completely failed. both involved the car moving without accelerating. it was on a town street at a light both times. i was behind another car both times as well. my car insurance has gone up because of these accidents and i have severe back pain from driving all those months with no power steering. but i had no choice as a single mother working many different locations requiring daily travel. also, i have to look back for the correct date of when i brought the car for service and was refused repairs by the ford dealership mechanic department where i leased it, even though the issues were car defects. therefore, i entered january of 2017, since it was either during 2016 or beginning of 2017 that these issues surfaced. also, one of these accidents where the car moved without accelerating did mot involve a police report, only the exchange of insurance information. the car speed is not saving in the box below. i was coming to a stop in one accident and was stopped completely during another. this is my best recall of the information.
4th time: engine misses,violent shaking like torque converter is connected, gas pedal not responsive, dash board lights up with a wrench. owners manual says go to dealer asap. been to dealer once, they said a transmission reprogramming was necessary. now it has happened again within 12 days of being "fixed". this is very dangerous when driving at highway speed, or any speed for that matter, and the car dies and shakes and jolts. this has happened at 25 mph and 50 mph. one time in heavy traffic on a hill and i couldn't get up the hill and just had to block traffic. help! if i can make it, back to the dealer tomorrow. *tr
The vehicle starts running rough, steering becomes loose, the wrench light comes on with the message 'check owners manual', then the engine stalls. this happens when the car is in motion. it has happened twice at low speed ~35 mph and once at high speed ~70 mph. we have had it in the ford dealer twice. the first time they said there was no code so they couldn't do anything. the second time they said they reprogrammed the pcm with a recall 16b32. i will drop it off this morning for the 3rd time.
