Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2015 Ford Fusion

Ford sent out a pre recall letter a month ago but they don't have a fix for it. Yesterday after I started my car I went to take my car out of park, the gear shift moves but the car doesn't actually go to another gear. The trans shifter cable bushing needs replacing. Ford doesn't have a fix for it and they are not trying to resolve the issue. I literally have to go without a car until the get s part which I heard was the middle of next year.

I initially called on 724/2018, incident# 1256726. I had an issue where my car was placed in park, but car thought it was still in drive. Found out there was an open recall for this issue (manufacturer recall#18s20). I also reached out to Ford motors, who advised to wait until car diagnosed and see what really caused the issue. Per the autonation Ford dealership that worked on my car, it wasn't the exact same cause as the recall, but the effect was the same that the car not know what gear it was actually placed in. . . Gear shift stopped working, brake lights stopped working, then engine wouldn't start, as car already thought it was in drive. Ford advised if issue not caused by whats in recall that I would have to pay. My response was "if something else caused the exact same issue, sounds like the recall should be adjusted to cover more than just one cable. Seems like Ford agreed, because they fixed the issue for free. Paperwork says issue was "cable assembly- selector lever. Shifter cable was replaced. I then called Ford mototrs the next day to follow-up on my previous call. . . I was advised that part for the recall wouldn't be available until late September, which is a very long time for an unsafe car. My issue is this is my 2nd recall, and I've only owned the car for 3 months. I advised Ford motors I felt the car was unsafe. Rep asked me "what do you want". . . I advised I would like to seek possible trade-in for a safer car, and this car, nor any car with 2 recalls should still be on road. Rep then gives me the phone number and phone option to reach the "buyback/trade-in request program" phone number was 800-392-3673, option 1, option 4, then option 5. She advised I needed my VIN, then it would ask for my mileage. Option 1 was english, 4 was for recalls, and 5 was to repeat those options again. I called back 6 more times, and tried different options unsuccessfully.

2015 Ford Fusion- after sitting for short periods of time the vehicle will not turn on until multiple attempts. The battery is good. No jump is required. Vehicle will go from no power on the first attempted start to managing to power on within a couple of minutes. While in drive, the vehicle will not switch gears appropriately. The engine will rev, pull, and then switch gears very roughly. This has been looked at by a local mechanic. The mechanic could not find any problems even though it has been a consistent occurrence. Mechanic stated that this is common in newer Fords.

My 2015 Ford Fusion has difficulty changing gears while driving, specifically shifting from first to second, then second to third. Also, rough shifting from park to reverse with my foot on the brake. The latest incident was when I moved the gear shift from park to reverse and the car did not shift into gear. I put it back into park, then into reverse again and it shifted. I drive it home, very slowly, and had it towed to the dealership the next morning. Ford corporate is involved, after four months of me asking for a new transmission, and they have not informed me of a conclusive decision on what they are going to do. I am afraid for my life to drive this vehicle, and have told the dealership and Ford corporate so multiple times. The car isn't generating any codes, and they have, so far, refused to put a new transmission and associated parts in the vehicle. I do not qualify for the lemon laws in my state because I am the second owner of the vehicle. However, I purchased it as a certified pre-owned vehicle from what I thought was a reputable dealer. In dealing with this dealership, I have come to realize that the dealer is worthless and shady. I'm working with another dealer now, and they seem to be a bit better. Ford corporate is refusing to take responsibility for the issues with this deathtrap they sold me, and I'm struggling to get out of the car even though it's been in the shop five times now for the same issue. My car is still under warranty. They have replaced several items, but the car drives more roughly after every "repair" attempt. I want out of this deathtrap, and I want Ford to give me all of my money back that I paid for it. Word to the wise, don't ever buy a Ford.

Stopped in drive thru at fast food restaurant. Car was fine. Got ready to put car in drive, would not move and could not change gears, could not remove key from ignition. When tow truck driver arrived, he noticed that the shift linkage was disconnected from gear changer. No part in stock to reconnect it, even after contacting dealership. A car this new should not have this problem. Only normal driving activity and regular maintenance.
