MY CAR WILL NOT SAY IN GEAR IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN PARK NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT'S IN. I WAS ON THE CITY STREET WHEN THAT HAPPEN. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 30 MINUTES FOR IT TO DO ANYTHING. ONCE I GOT IT PARKED IT DID IT AGAIN. ON THE SCREEN IT SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT. AT ONE POINT IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S NOT A RECALL ON THAT WHEN IT SHOULD BE. I COULD'VE BEEN DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAD CHANGED GEAR. MY KIDS AND I COULD'VE GOT SERIOUSLY HURT.

THE FORD "SYNC 3" SYSTEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE BRAINS OF NEARLY ALL INTERIOR CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING IN MULTIPLE FORD MODELS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THING AFFECTED INCLUDE ALL HVAC CONTROLS, AUDIO CONTROLS, POWER SEATS, WINDOWS, REMOTE START ABILITIES AND MORE. FORD AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTIONS IN CURRENT AND PREVIOUS MODELS, YET THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE ANY RECALL OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE DEALERSHIPS INSIST THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER HAVING BEEN SHOWN VIDEOS OF THE CARS MALFUNCTIONS. A QUICK SEARCH THROUGH ONLINE FORD FORUMS WILL THIS ISSUE IS WIDELY EXPERIENCED AND THAT IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE.

THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING BUT WAS NOT BAD UNTIL THE CAR GEARED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE TROUBLE INDICATOR WAS A "WRENCH" WHICH INDICATED A POWER TRAIN ISSUE. I GOT THE CAR BACK HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A 2017 FORD FUSION, WITH 66,238 MILES. COST OF REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $4875 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. CURIOUS AS TO HOW A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE HAS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED.

2017 FUSION IS ONCE AGAIN BACK AT THE DEALER TO MAKE A THIRD ATTEMPT TO FIND WHY THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. EACH TIME 10/DEC/18, 11/JAN/19, AND 18/AUG/19 THE VEHICLE DID NOT START IT WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. IT ALSO TOOK HOURS TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY TO GET IT STARTED TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO US THAT FORD DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS.

UPON AN INITIAL FORD DEALER INSPECTION TO INVESTIGATE THE TIRE LEAK FORD DEALERSHIP REVEALED TO ME THAT MY CAR HAD NO COOLANT LEFT IN IT & ENGINE WAS HEATING UP & WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION. MY ISSUE IS THE THE SHIFTER LINK CABLE. THERE IS A LITTLE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT HOLDS THE CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL REVERSE AND DRIVE. WELL MINE BROKE AND I'M GLAD IT WAS IN PARK. IF IT WASN'T IN PARK I WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO EVEN GET IT IN PARK NOT ATKEAST BY MYSELF ANYWAY. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO CHANGE GEARS I GOT A WARNING MESSAGE THAT SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED! IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER FURTHER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE 13-16 FUSIONS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED. I FOUND THE PART NUMBER FROM FORD WHICH IS DG92-7K340-A. I TOOK IT TO FORWARD AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT SO I HAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THE 2017 FUSION THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THEM. WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT! THE GUY TRIED TELLING ME I NEEDED TO BUY THE WHOLE CABLE TO FIX IT. WHICH I KNEW BETTER I GAVE HIM THE PART NUMBER AND THEY HAD A BIG BOX OF THE BUSHINGS SITTING ON THE DESK TOOK IT HOME AND FIXED IT IN LIKE 5MIN. I'M GLAD I WAS HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT DRIVING BECAUSE IF SO MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK OR ANY GEAR FOR THAT MATTER.
Structure, Other or unspecified, Aug 17, 2019, crash
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT LEAST AT 65 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT HIS BRAKES AND WENT IN TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO STOP, I HIT THE CAR, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR COULD NOT OPEN BECAUSE THE FRAME OF THE CAR SHIFTED. RIGHT AFTER IMPACT A GUSH OF LIQUID STARTED POURING OUT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP TO GET FIXED BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS.
Power train, Engine, Aug 16, 2019
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER TRYING TO GO INTO REVERSE THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE APPEARED.

I HAVE THE 2017 FUSION SPORT 2.7L TWIN TURBO AND I PURCHASED IT NEW. ON MORE THAN 30 OCCASIONS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO SAID THERE ARE NO CODES STORED INDICATING THIS HAPPENED AND SINCE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD CORPORATE BUT THEY CLOSED MY CLAIM SINCE THEY HAD NO INDICATION THIS WAS OCCURING. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT YET THEY CONTINUE TO DENY THE PROBLEM. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY RUNNING 70 MILES AN HOUR. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED? THE NHSTA NEEDS TO MAKE FORD STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE CAR ALSO PUT ITSELF IN PARK BEFORE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHICH CAUSED A HARD JOLT TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION AMONG OTHER THINGS OVER TIME. I PAID $40,000 FOR THIS CAR AND DESERVE TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD. WHAT IF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO YOUR FAMILY WOULD YOU JUST IGNORE IT AND MAKE YOUR FAMILY KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE KNOWING AT ANYTIME IT COULD LOSE POWER AND CAUSE YOU TO WRECK? HOW COME NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? MAKE THEM BUY MY CAR OR FIX THE ISSUE SO I DON'T HAVE TO PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER IN ORDER TO GET WORK. I AM A NURSE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING TO WORK. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED ONE TIME BUT WE'LL OVER 25-40 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE.

HI I HAVE A 2017 FUSION THAT BEGAN TO STALL AND HAVE ISSUES AT 72,000 MILES. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC THEY DETERMINED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED AND HAVE FOUND BULLETINS STATING THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN BY FORD AS FORD HAD RELEASED THE BULLETINS. THIS DEFECT LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE AND IS NOTHING CAUSED BY THE DRIVER BUT SOLELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN CERTAIN ENGINES WERE MANUFACTURED THEY WERE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. FORD IS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS FAULT DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IF THE ENGINE IS TO STALL OR SEIZE DURING DRIVING THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY, ACCIDENT, AND EVEN DEATH. FORD IS NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY MY ENGINE SEIZED WHILE STOPPED.

I HAVE A GOOD BATTERY AND MY CAR KEEPS ON DRAINING THE BATTERY. THE CAR WAS ONLY DRIVEN 8400 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN START IT IS BY JUMPING THE BATTERY.
Electrical system, Jul 26, 2019
MECHANIC STATES...POWER CITIC DRAW IS CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER AT ANY GIVEN TIME. CAR NEEDS TO BE JUMP STARTED TO RUN; WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3MONTHDS PRIOR FROM DRIVE TIME & WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT 11229418 POSTED 7/4/19 CAR STAYED IN SHOP FOR A WEEK. REPLACED INPUT SHAFT, FLUID PUMP, FILTER, VALVE BODY, SOLENOID BODY, TORQUE CONVERTER, AND ANY ASSOCIATED GASKETS AND HARDWARE CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE SHOP TOMORROW DUE TO IT SHIFTING HARDER THAN BEFORE. SAFETY PARK FEATURE NO LONGER WORKS EITHER. CAN HEAR HARD SHIFTING WHEN CHANGING FROM PARK, REVERE, AND DRIVE. REVERSE IS THE WORST AND CAR SHAKES WITH EACH GEAR SELECTION. MOVES HARD AS IF I HIT SOMETHING WHEN PLACING INTO PARK.

ON JULY 22, 2019, I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, IT KEPT TURNING BACK TO PARK. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, CALL GEICO TO HAVE IT TOWED TOOK 2 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TO GET CAR ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, HE CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM COULD TELL HIM WHAT TO DO, HE TALKED TO (EIGHT) TECHS AND NOT ONE KNEW THE ANSWER, ANYWAYS, THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEMS WAS WITH THE SHIFT KNOB AND TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $545 TO REPAIR AND IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE 2013-2016 FORD FUSIONS HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY 2017. WHICH IS NOT RIGHT.

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOR MY SISTER (SHE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPUTER) WHO HAS FOUND HER FORD FUSION WITH A DEAD BATTERY SEVEN TIMES, STARTING THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. ON FOUR OCCASIONS IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, THREE OTHER TIMES JUMP-STARTED BY HER NEIGHBOR SO SHE COULD GET TO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS. DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS, SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS THESE APPOINTMENTS. APPARENTLY, THIS DEAD-BATTERY ISSUE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE FUSIONS. IN JANUARY 2018 FORD ADMITTED THERE IS A BATTERY DRAINING PROBLEM AND INSTRUCTED HER TO HAVE THE PCM REPROGRAMMED (ATTACHMENT 2). IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE DRAINING. IN HER CASE THE BATTERY WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER SITTING STATIONARY IN EACH INSTANCE. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE NEXT TIME, SHE WILL FILE A LEMON LAW CASE. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL ALL OF THE FUSIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTS SAFETY, USE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR.
