I've had my car for 5 years. 6 months after I purchased it it started showing transmission issues. It's almost like it gets stuck in a gear when trying to accelerate , and then it flings your forward. When driving up a hill it won't go over 30mph. I took it in over 2 years ago to Ford and was told a transmission recall for 2014 Ford Fusions was coming. 2 years later and I'm being told my car doesn't qualify but is showing all the signs that's listed on the recall. Just last week my car shut off while driving on the freeway with my kids in the car. Since it's happened 3 times. Since it started shutting off while driving a new issue has progressed. My car now jerks when trying to accelerate. If I have the heater in it smells like something is burning. We used a code reader and it told us transmission issues but Ford still says I don't qualify.

I was driving about 10 mins away from my house, in the city as I approached a red light my car shut off. It stopped while I was in motion , I couldn't brake, theres was nothing could do but just let the car stop on its own. The battery light started to flash, the wrench light came on. I turned the car off, then back on, and it didnt start. So I tried again, and the car started, I was ale to make it home safe. But this is a hazard, I had children in the car, I will like this car to be recalled. I saw in 2017 in July about five thousands 2017 Fords were recalled for this reason. Im scared and dont know what to do!.

So when I'm driving down the road it will start doing weird stuff . . Like jerking and applying the breaks and then the car just shuts off and then it take about a couple mins for it to come back on so I think this is a danger & safety hazard.

My car is a 2014 Ford Fusion I purchased at the dealership 2 years ago. Never had a problem until recently. After I turn on my car and switch gear to "drive" my car will shut down within 20 feet. I have to park the car and wait a few minutes and try again; it always happens later on during the day when driving off a parking lot. The main problem is that the "check engine" light never comes of, but there is certainly a problem when the car shuts down on it's own; it never shuts off while driving at high speed, but I am truly concern with this matter. I took my car to the dealership to get to the bottom of the problem. I was advised it will cost me $110. 00 for a diagnostic, which I paid. I waited for 4 hours and according to the mechanic the antifreeze is mixing with the engine oil and that's what cause the car to stall occasionally and the cost of repair will be $2,100. 00. When I checked the car along with a personal mechanic there is no indication of anything mixing with the engine oil, the oil is clean is not milky and it smells fine. Bottom line I am not happy with the fact that there is no recall for this serious issue and even more so that Ford dealership was so dishonest about the car symptoms. Needless to say I will not buy a Ford again and still don't know what's wrong with my car.

Was accelerating in my vehicle when the car hesitated and then just shut off in the middle of the road showing only an orange wrench light on the dash. Thankfully I was driving in town and actually to the dealership to get my airbag recall fixed when this happened and nobody other than my boyfriend was behind me. I turned the key into the off position and turned it back on and the dash (wrench) light indicator went off. I could have seriously injured myself or another vehicle due to what seems to be be a system failure! I refused to take my car home from the dealership until they checked into it. They acted as if it was no big deal because the (wrench) light on the dash went off but I'm very concerned it's a safety issue and bad accidents can be a result of this.

They drove the car 60 miles or so and said the car was fine. I called classic Ford in mentor OH and talked to the service advisor and informed him I was bringing the car there to be serviced. The advisor said he wouldnt be working 4/29 and he would inform the service mgr of the problem. Icalled Friday and spoke to mark the mgr. He said he talked to the people at madison Ford . He told me to bring the car in Monday may 2 but we are going to do the same thing and if we cant find anything then theres nothing we can do for you.

I was driving down the highway and a red triangle light comes on that says to stop safely. The engine shut off. I had to pull over and turn car off. Once I started it back it starts fine but continues to turn off very few miles. This is a major problem and puts my families lives at risk. No lights are on after I turn car back on. This is very serious and can cause my family to die in a car crash. Thankfully the hybrid engine still works which lets me slowly pull over but my speeds on the interstate goes from 70 to about 30 really fast and puts us in a very dangerous situation. Please help me fix.
