Just before the December holiday, my car was making a notable noise. My local mechanic has diagnosed it to be a transmission failure at 99k miles. The local Ford dealership still has not looked at it and can't for weeks to come because of covid (1/3 of the mechanics plus the service manager and assistant are out). They told us that the tool needed to repair this problem will not be available until April because it needs to be manufactured and distributed. I am left without a car, thrown into the market 2 years ahead of my financial plan, without assets from my car and having difficulty getting a loan because of the hyperinflation of car prices, particularly used. I am quite stranded.

2. When it came on this time it said “power steering assist fault” see manual then shut completely off on me. I cranked it back up and it ran for about 30 seconds and shut off again. I cranked it up again and the wrench illuminated and stayed on so I drove it home and parked it Sunday. Now I am bringing it in to you all. It seems to be some serious power/electric issues going on with this car.

The shift cable bushing in my 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid degraded and broke apart from the gear shift cable. This resulted in me being unable to shift gears while the vehicle was in park. Fortunately the car was parked at the time but this could have been a serious safety concern had the vehicle been moving. The vehicle was repaired by a Ford dealership by replacing the entire gear shift cable. This repair was considerably more expensive than just replacing the bushing itself which they claimed was not possible. No warning lights or messages were indicated before the failure. This part failure is the exact same issue involved in NHTSA campaign number: 18v471000.

Was driving vehicle and vehicle engine kept running, but transmission quit pulling (flexplate had fractured and broken). Vehicle could not accelerate out of traffic. I am an automotive repair shop in crestwood. Ky and have seen this issue twice in the past couple of months in vehicles with the same engine and transmission combination. The other vehicle was an awd Ford 2015 edge. I'm sure this is and will be a major issue.

While coming off the highway my hill start assist, advanced tract, and steering failed. I almost lost control of the car. Also, the linkage for the shifter keeps coming undone.

Leaving gas station. Car just stops driving while in the driving gear. So I pulled over slowly to the side of the road and I had a warning to �see manual� �hill assistant not available� �stop safely now� and it was showing traction control on. It will not drive. And runs weird now.

When transmission is hot it stops shifting or it dont go in gear.

When accelerating after being stopped at an intersection or stop sign car hits about 20 25 rpm's acceleration stops have to ease back on the gas slowly and never shifts in to next gear. I had to drive home slowly about 20 mph. Happens after ever stop and go.

I put my car in park in the parking lot and took my foot off the brake and my car started to roll backwards so I noticed my backup camera was on so I looked at the dash and my car showed the car was in reverse as the automatic shifter was in the park position. The shifter linkage came detached and the car wasn't able to shift. The bushings have deteriorated and caused the shift to come off . My car is a 2013 Ford Fusion VIN# [xxx] and I have seen a recall back in 2019 recall 19v362000 and this is exactly what has happened to my car information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Engine coolant leaking but no leak can be found. Have to put coolant in car every other day or any time I drive more than 30 miles.

I was driving to work and I heard a loud sound follow by oil pressure lost I pull over at a gas station and notice that all my oil was poring out out my vehicle . I than car for a tow truck to have my vehicle towed . . Why dis my vehicle do that. I did not make it to work . . . I had to call off was not happy about it. This situation cost me my job due to car failure. . It happened on city street leading to high way.

Shifter linkage bushing failed, causing the car to become stuck in reverse. A short search revealed that there is already a recall out for this very thing, except my VIN "doesn't have this issue".

Defective Ford engine and engine cooling recalls have been issued for select models (I. E. , recalls 12s41; 17s09;) for cars with 1. 6 liter engines due to issues associated with low coolant levels in which a recall was issued in 2017 requiring Ford to install new coolant level sensors and the associated hardware and software in order to prevent engine overheating and catastrophic failure. While the recall was not issued for the 2013 Ford Fusion energi titanium hybrid 2. 0 liter engines, the problems identified with the 1. 6 liter engines also characterize many of the 2. 0 liter engines, including the one that I drive. My Ford has had 18 recalls, and during 2020 the engine light came on 4 different times between February and October of 2020 in which I brought the vehicle to serramonte Ford service center to determine the reason. Ford did routine inspections and recall work in each visit, but it was not until the final time that the engine light came on that the tech looked inside the engine to discover leaking oil that Ford's service staff informed me I would require a new engine. Ford suggests replacing the defective engine with a rebuilt engine rather than breaking down and diagnosing the cause of the oil in the engine block, according to Ford due to the relatively cheaper cost to me (Ford did not make the diagnosis until after the car was out of warranty) of installing a rebuilt engine rather than tearing down the existing engine to diagnose and repair. I suspect that the 2. 0 liter engine has the exact same issues as the 1. 6 and should have been included in the 2017 recall, when I could have had the coolant level sensor installed while the car remained under the manufacturer's warranty. The car is at risk of a catastrophic fire now if I drive it off of the service center's lot, where it has been since November 2020. 12s41 and 17s09 recalls should be offered to the 2. 0 liter engine models as well, before more people die.

On multiple occasions, driving at speeds over 60mph for more than 50 miles, causes a system alert that says steering assist fault and the power steering goes out. The first time I was able to pull over before the power steering went out. The next time, my boyfriend was driving and he had to veer onto the shoulder. Most recently, my grandmother drove my car to the airport and was unable to get the vehicle out of traffic turning into the airport as she was not strong enough to maneuver the car into the parking lot. I regularly keep up with all necessary maintenance and have brought the car to modica brothers as well as a local mechanic and they have both told me it is bolt corrosion as they assessed all other possibilities. Upon research, I found a recall for Ford Fusions manufactured in hermosillo in 2013 under recall #19s26. I contacted Ford about having my car added to the recall and was advised to reach out to NHTSA. As this is a big safety hazard, I wish to have this addressed immediately.

Gear shift cable disconnected, causing inability to move car. No power to accelerator regardless of gear position (could not go forward or reverse). Vehicle was parked in driveway, and had just completed a 30 minute drive.

Shift linkage came off.

The transmission needs to be replaced and it only has 76,000 miles on it.

Door lock keeps door from closing shifter cable broken air bag light keeps coming on.

Vehicle shift was moved to park, but transmission stayed in reverse and rolled almost hitting another vehicle. There is supposed to be a recall for this, 19v362, but my vehicle's VIN number is not listed?? Ford will not replace or fix until my VIN is listed. The car is not driveable and is unsafe!.

My Ford Fusion shifter cable is broke there is a recall on this issue however the Ford dealership is telling me there is no open recall on my specific car im so confused this is not a coincidence please help!!!!.
