Shift cable off transmission cable bushing. Parked at work, shifted to park and took foot off brake and began rolling. Shifter was stuck in the park position but car was in drive. Used E-brake avoid rolling into vehicle ahead of me. Bob allen Ford in overland park, ks completed the repairs and noted "C/S the car will not start it thinks it is in drive found shift cable off transmission replaced cable bushing and adjusted cable, verified operation. This is known recall on 2013 and 2014 Ford Fusion manufactured at the hermosillo Mexico plant, but my car manufactured in December of 2013, does not fall within the dates on the recall so I was required to pay for repairs, parts, labor, and a tow to the service center totaling $447.12. Advised by bob allen Ford to file a complaint and/or contact Ford about the issue and request a refund.

I was parked filling my car with gas. When I started the vehicle again, it would not go into drive. The reason I was given after having the car inspected was as follows: The shifter cable bushing at the transmission failed and was copletely gone. Found shifter cable bushing worn to the point that it seperated from the shift cable. There is a recall for this exact problem but not for the model of my Fusion. The recall number for other Fusion models is 18V471000 with a recall date of 7/16/2018. Ford's number for this recall is listed as 18S20. Because this recall is for the exact problem I had with my Fusion, I believe my model needs to be included in the recall.

Car stalls and cuts off while vehicle in in operation. I took it to the dealership when it first began to happen, they stated that it was put on the machine and nothing lit up so they couldn't find anything wrong with it. This kept happening, for weeks it would drive normal and then just start cutting off again while I'm driving. I took it back to the dealership and they stated that they found the problem. It cost almost $300 dollars for the repair. We got the car back and three days later it was cutting off again. We took it back to the car dealership and this time they stated it was something different and that the part was covered. After we were told the part was covered the dealership called us back and stated that it was not covered. I googled this particular car and noticed that many people have been having the same issues with the car and also given the run around about not knowing what the problem is. Why isnt the whole car recalled and why haven't this problem been listed under the recall. This is a serious road and safety hazard for the driver of the vehicle as well as others on the road.

My trunk is randomly opening while I'm driving down the road. I've checked the latches and doesn't appear to be any damage. I rarely use my trunk. I'm thinking it could be an electrical issue?

Several weeks ago I noticed that the front passenger door was not opening when the inside handle was initially pulled I was able however to try again and it would work. Unfortunately now I am completely unable to open the passenger side door at all from the inside. I have contacted my local dealership in regards to the repair they are advising that it will cost over $400 to have a fully functioning door. This issue is a massive safety issue which has myself and my family concerned in regards to this matter.

I bought my 2014 Ford Fusion SE in 2015. It had around 24,000 millage. After couple day I noticed that tgere is comethibg wrong with transmission. I brought the dealership that I bought from (bright bay Lincoln, bay shaors, NY) and they said that there is nothing wrong with transmission. That peovlem never went away. Problem is getting wors. I went well know tranmission shop in springfield and they said that clutches needs to be changed but they do bot fix Ford Fusion transmission because it is very hard to do it. Over the time I met couple Fusion ovner and all of them complained about their transmission.

Has rattle under passenger floor when fuel tank is 3/4 to full in park or in gear at complete stop or just creeping below 5 mph and have read online about the baffles breaking in the fuel tank causing this issue also read it causes air in fuel line which could be a safety issue while traveling down highway if engine cuts out due to this issue, , also drivers door doesn't always latch 100 % sometimes have to open and close door several times to shut completely and has started doing this since October of 2018 also transmission shifts funny when cold going from park to reverse has very harsh engagement and 3rd shifts very firm when going

I drove to the post office and put my car in park but the car didn't shift into park it made it from drive to neutral and stuck there. The actual gear shift was in the park position but the car itself was in neutral. I pulled my ebrake on so I could exit the car my car wouldn't roll. What happened was the dorman that is on the gear shift under my hood had chipped away, causing the gear shift arm to pop off. I replaced the dorman, and everything has been fine for about a month.. a week ago it popped off again as I attempt to shift gears and has popped off everyday, several times a day, almost every trip I make but this time the small cream piece that helps engage it is there, intact, and not worn at all. This is very frustrating to have to pull my ebrake to park my car, get out and pop the hood and readjust the arm and gear shift and reattach it so that I can get my car into the gear I need it in.

Air conditioning clutch fell off compressor while driving on highway. Bolt fell out allowing clutch to fall off. Could have hit another vehicle on the road. Only didn't because it got caught in the engine splash pan. After searching this is a common problem not only on the Ford fuson, but also on F series trucks, and the Ford mustang.

I purchased a new-to-me 2014 Ford Fusion from germain Ford in columbus Ohio on 2/2/18. On the 2nd day I had the car there was a light snow storm, a few inches, I am a wonderful driver with a clean record. I went to pull out of my street and I lost control of the car. I thought it was ice until I stopped at a light & my wheels started spinning and I could hardly maintain control. I felt like the steering wheel was taking over and I was fighting it as I kept sliding. This went on the entire two miles to work. I'd never been more terrified. I've driven in snow and ice for 20 years and this is my 6th Ford and I had never been so afraid of a car. I thought maybe it was a one time issue, maybe it really was just a strange one time thing? but on Sunday 3/25/18 it was raining here in columbus and I was driving about 40-45 mph on a wet road and my car started acting like it did in the snow, but this time I lost total control of the car tc came on and once again I could not control my car and the wheel jerked to the right causing us to spin out of control. The back passenger tire hit a curb, we spun around and the front passenger side hit the curb and we went into a grassy area coming pretty close to a pole and an apartment bldg. I ended up with a flat tire, bent rim, I needed an alignment, the paint is scratched under my car, and I need a new baring on the front drivers side. Also - I found out there was around 5 inches of water in my trunk due to a broken seal. I had the car towed to the dealer & I begged them to figure out what's wrong. Right now they claim nothing is wrong but they are fixing the leak & the damage. I paid for a new tire. I am beyond terrified to drive the car again. I have never lost control of a car before and now I have in this car - twice in less than a month. Something is very very wrong. Thank you for any help or suggestions. I just want a safe car.

My vehicle keep stalling and cutting off mid driving. Its happened on tbe expressway and mid motion on the regular street.after I restart the car, it stalls but start back up. Sometimes it drives perfectly fine, other times it shuts down in the mist of driving, some days the engine light comes on and other times there is no warning lights on. This has been happening off and on for months. Its been hard to get a diagnosis since the engine light comes and go. My back middle seatbelt is stuck. It appears to be locked underneath the seat.
