NHTSA Complaint #11694895 — 2020 FORD FUSION

VIN: [XXX] Issue Category: Powertrain / Flex Plate / Transmission Failure Dealerships Involved: Freeway Ford – Bloomington, MN J.C. Lewis Ford – Savannah, GA Summary: I am requesting reimbursement from Ford Motor Company for repeated flex plate repairs and a resulting transmission failure on my 2020 Ford Fusion. The vehicle has had five flex plate replacements — three at Freeway Ford in Bloomington, MN, and two at J.C. Lewis Ford in Savannah, GA. Despite all repairs being performed by Ford dealerships, the issue persisted, and the transmission ultimately failed. I was required to pay for a new transmission out of pocket, even though the repeated flex plate failures clearly caused the damage. Ford has a Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP 22N12) addressing flex plate issues on this model, but I received no reimbursement or coverage. I contacted Ford via email to [email protected] with documentation but received no response. I have copies of all invoices, repair orders, and service notes from both dealerships to support my claim. I am requesting full reimbursement of all related costs under goodwill or warranty consideration, as this is a known manufacturer-related defect that led to a major drivetrain failure. Total $3,103.93 Requested Resolution: Reimbursement for all flex plate repair costs and the transmission replacement due to defective parts covered under CSP 22N12.
