The flex plate is bad and Ford won’t fix it. It needs recalled before it kills someone. Flex plate is the plate that puts power from engine to transmission.
At first the check engine light was on and the car would not start. The dash would display all the lights and at one point it turned off while driving luckily I was going 20-30mph. Took it to the dealership and they said an intake valve had to be replaced and it was covered by the warranty. Next the engine light was on and a map censor had to be replaced which wasn’t covered. Once again the engine light and service light came on and the code is saying the same censor needs to be replaced. Each time it has effected how the car drives and is dangerous especially on the interstate because it will not go over 20mph. When the car is in reverse it will shake and turn off displaying auto start stop issue and place the car in park. It will then turn off. It is hit or miss on when the check engine light and maintenance light will come on and each time the symptoms are the same. No one has provided a solution. This has been on going for almost a year.

I am the second owner on my Ford Fusion 2020 se all-wheel-drive I got the car at 21,000 I had warranty since I had the warranty.
