When putting the vehicle in park today with shifter, I removed the key, lifted my foot off the brake and the vehicle started rolling backwards. I applied the brakes. When turning the vehicle back on, it was stuck in "neutral" on the dash but the shifter is stuck in "park" and will not shift or move out of park. This is a known recall on Ford Fusion year 2014 but my VIN does not say it was part of that recall.
I am having problems with the transmission. The main problem is the shifting. You will be driving at 30 mph and when it shifts up it fells like the transmission is going to fall out. It will do the same thing when you are slowing down. This has been going on for a while it is just getting worse.
The transmission isn't switching right and throws the whole car forward and it only has 32000 miles on it 2014 Ford Fusion. This has been a ongoing issue had looked at 2X they say all 2014 Ford Fusion do this. Causing wrecks is ridiculous!

Antelope valley Ford 1155 auto mall dr, lancaster, ca 93534, was contacted and informed of the failure.

The car will pulsate and shake when driving, then the check engine light would come on. You can't accelerate, like there no accelerating in then the car cut off, which is danger. I have had this car for less then a year, I just payed close to 1,000 bucks getting it fix from having electrical problems that my warranty did not cover. I had to take to the shop for things that was or recalled., in now this. I think I was sell a lemon.
Bushing with transmission cable came off, with it in gear, even tho shifted into park, its a known recall on other models but this one is not recalled, and I had to pay for this to be fixed. Not right
A part for my cars 'shifting cable' has been recalled several times, prior to the recall I had to personally pay out of pocket to replace said shifting cable. At this time my car continues to have severe/dangerous shifting problems. Ex: when I'm driving and it's needs to shift gears the car jerks incredibly hard. When I stop at a stop sign and attempt to accelerate I get nothing like the car has shifted to neutral. Pedal to the floor car will not go. As you can see this can/could cause a severe wreck, hurting my self my children, and other drivers. This part I can not afford to replace as every time I take the vehicle to Ford the piece that has been recalled is not specifically the problem but in the same area. I'm at a loss on how to handle the situation. I'm reaching out with great concern.

My shifter cable bushing broke today inspite of getting the recall(18S20) done less than five months ago(23july19) at town and country Ford at bessemer, Alabama. Fortunately the vehicle was parked in front of my house and was not in motion. I figured something was off when I the gear shifter moved much smoother than normal. When I stepped on the gas the vehicle wouldn't move. I revved a little more but nothing happened and then I noticed that none of the gears showed that they were engaged in my gage cluster. I immediately turned off the vehicle and popped the hood and found what the issue was. My shifter cable bushing was not in place. I verified my previous service record(attached) to make sure the dealer did the recall repairs and it's was done. But the new bushings snapped off too.
After months of hard shifting and slipping, in June of 2019...with only 53,000 miles on the car...the transmission popped out of gear and into neutral while on the interstate, and refused to go back into gear. Vehicle had to be coasted, in dangerous fashion and in traffic, off to the side of the road. Vehicle later began shifting okay (temporarily) and no cause or fix could be found. Ford Motor Company sent us on our way in the vehicle. Then in November of 2019, with only 65,000 miles on the vehicle, the vehicle began clunking and spewing transmission fluid everywhere which driving around the city. Our local Ford service department has determined the vehicle needs a completely new transmission. Fmc is also refusing to cover the cost of repair now that the vehicle is just barely out of warranty....even though problems were reported while the vehicle was still under warranty. Attached documents, and incident information (speed, mileage) are in reference to the first incident.
Its been 3 years since I have had my car and I have not been notified by Ford that I have a recall. Not by phone, email, or even in person. The only reason I know I have three is because of my family member who notified me. I have called multiple Ford dealerships to complain and get it fixed but they don't seem to want to help. Every time I go or call they take my number and that is it. So I just keep going trusting they will call me back. And this week my car starts to have troubles and my transmission hard shifts into second gear and I damage the front and bumper of my car. I took it to my local mechanic and he says the problem comes from the recalled part. And now my car is parked until I can get it fixed and I have called Ford and they wont help.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. While the contact was attempting to switch the gear shifter from drive into park, the transmission erroneously became stuck in the reverse position. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a nearby residence. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. It was discovered that the transmission cable bushing had failed. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 139,576. The VIN was invalid.
Knocking noise when pressing gas pedal to put car in motion. Knocking noise when shifting from drive to reverse and vise versa (no gas). Knock when accelerating after rounding a turn. Noise is light enough that it is mostly discernible when there is low road noise, such as beginning from a stop or when in electric mode.
While in motion on major interstate the vehicle lost acceleration causing traffic to swerve around vehicle as it slowed to a stop. The vehicle was running but would not move in any gear selected. The vehicle had to be towed and left my family stranded on the shoulder. The dealer informed me the transmission failed before first recommended service of 150,000 miles of service. Unable to check fluid due to no dipstick on the model attached to the 1.5L engine. Dealer claims trans pump went out causing failure.
