NHTSA Complaint #11283156 — 2014 FORD FUSION

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.
