The vehicle was in motion on the highway when there was a clunk from the powertrain and the engine light and "hazard do not drive" light came on. I pulled over and had the vehicle towed. There had been a odd, sort of hard to hear whining noise when depressing the accelerator coming from some part of the powertrain for around 20,000 miles or so. I didn't think a whole lot about it since there were no warning indicators or engine lights on and besides the whining noise the vehicle ran normal. I had the vehicle taken to a Ford dealership for a repair estimate and was told I needed to have the transmission replaced with a brand new one at the cost of almost what the vehicle's resale value was. I later had it taken to a transmission repair specialist where they would remove the transmission then repair the internal components in the transmission at a lesser cost than replacing it with a brand new one. I was told the "transfer gear bearing" failed and had to be replaced a long with other "fail points" known to fail in this particular model transmission.
This vehicle has a noise in the transmission when you accelerate or use the gas. The noise is getting increasingly louder and I have been told that it is a known issue with these hybrid Ford Fusions. It only has 115,000 miles.

The car has been making a noise for over a year, while it was still under warranty I was told it was no big deal, but now it has cascaded into a full transmission failure. My car is only 4 years old and doesn't even have 100,000 miles yet. I bought a hybrid so it would last longer, not shorter than the average car.

Engine or transmission knock. Steering knock from turning wheels all the way to the left and right. When in park, reverse, or neutral the knock behind the firewall is not heard. When it is in drive and stopped at a light or with the electronic ebrake on while the car is in drive there is a knock behind the firewall around the transmission area (location is close to the lower front of the center console area; where it is predominantly heard). It is not heard until you are in the car with the doors closed (no music on just the odd knock when stopped while in drive or in drive with the ebrake on). I had the engine checked for noise; mechanics at opelika Ford al stated it may be my fuel rail and fuel filter which may be causing cabling behind the firewall to rattle. If that is the case I should hear the hard knock while in reverse or park. They stated they tied both down including the cables to see if the noise subsided (took them ten minutes to do this which is quiet fast to access the fuel rail and filter when the area is tight to access in order to tie cables down). I also had the transmission checked; they stated nothing is wrong with transmission. I got it checked because of the knock and the transmission jerked hard into second and third gear. Also started to idle hard (this is around 21000 miles). They may have re-flashed the transmission but no mechanic came and spoke to me about it. I also asked for the transmission software to be updated. Not sure if they did that either. The car still idles a bit rough from time to time. The issue is still on going and I am in search of a "Ford certified mechanic" to actually show me what is wrong so it can be covered by warranty. Ford hq stated they do not keep track of information done on the cars it is local to the dealerships which is stupid. So how are their recalls done if they aren't required to keep track of problems?.
