2013 FORD FUSION Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at 10-15 MPH uphill and making a turn, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and was hesitating as if the transmission was in neutral. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that as the vehicle started rolling backward, she depressed the accelerator pedal and was able to move forward and made the turn. The contact continued to drive; however, the failure reoccurred while driving and the vehicle was making abnormal sounds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who test drove the vehicle and diagnosed that the transmission had shifted into fifth gear and would not shift out of fifth gear. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to the residence. Then, the vehicle was towed to another mechanic who diagnosed that the...

The shift cable bushing in my 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid degraded and broke apart from the gear shift cable. This resulted in me being unable to shift gears while the vehicle was in park. Fortunately the car was parked at the time but this could have been a serious safety concern had the vehicle been moving. The vehicle was repaired by a Ford dealership by replacing the entire gear shift cable. This repair was considerably more expensive than just replacing the bushing itself which they claimed was not possible. No warning lights or messages were indicated before the failure. This part failure is the exact same issue involved in NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000.

The contact stated that the parking brake was activated to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission temperature sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken back to another dealer where there was a diagnosis taken but the failure was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that upon parking his vehicle in his driveway, the contact placed the gear shifter into the park however, the dashboard read that the vehicle was in neutral. As the contact exited the vehicle, the vehicle began to roll backwards without warning. The contact immediately re-entered the vehicle and forcefully applied the brakes and activated the parking brake. Since the failure, the contact had been unable to drive the vehicle as the gear shifter remained stuck in park as the dashboard continued to read that the vehicle was in neutral. The contact had notified both the dealer and the manufacturer of the failure and both informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V471000 (Power Train) which he linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

Defective Ford engine and engine cooling recalls have been issued for select models (i.e., recalls 12S41; 17S09;) for cars with 1.6 liter engines due to issues associated with low coolant levels in which a recall was issued in 2017 requiring Ford to install new coolant level sensors and the associated hardware and software in order to prevent engine overheating and catastrophic failure. While the recall was not issued for the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium Hybrid 2.0 liter engines, the problems identified with the 1.6 liter engines also characterize many of the 2.0 liter engines, including the one that I drive. My Ford has had 18 recalls, and during 2020 the engine light came on 4 different times between February and October of 2020 in which I brought the vehicle to Serramonte Ford service center to determine the reason. Ford did routine inspections and recall work in each visit, but...

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND VEHICLE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, BUT TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING (FLEXPLATE HAD FRACTURED AND BROKEN). VEHICLE COULD NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF TRAFFIC. I AM AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP IN CRESTWOOD. KY AND HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE TWICE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IN VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COMBINATION. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS AN AWD FORD 2015 EDGE. I'M SURE THIS IS AND WILL BE A MAJOR ISSUE.

WHILE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY MY HILL START ASSIST, ADVANCED TRACT, AND STEERING FAILED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. ALSO, THE LINKAGE FOR THE SHIFTER KEEPS COMING UNDONE.

TRANSMISSION LATCH AND ENGINE COOLING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH SIMILAR MODELS BUT NOT THIS SPECIFIC MODEL.

I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE OF HARD SHIFTING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. TODAY WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME AS I WAS MANEUVERING ACROSS TRAFFIC MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE.IT MADE A HIGH GEAR SOUND, AS IF IT WAS REVVING IN A HIGH GEAR.IT SEEMED AS IF THE CAR WAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE CORRECT GEAR.AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES IT STARTED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THE GEARS HAD SLIPPED. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT WASN'T A BUSY TIME OF DAY, AS I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE NOT BEING ABLE TO GO ABOVE 2 MILES AN HOUR.I WAS AT A FAST FOOD PLACE AND HAD THE CAR IN PARK GEAR.I THAN SHIFTED IT TO DRIVE AND MY CAR MOVED OUT INTO TRAFFIC NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 30 FEET AND THAN JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WENT OUT OF GEAR BECAUSE IT BARELY MOVED

LEAVING GAS STATION. CAR JUST STOPS DRIVING WHILE IN THE DRIVING GEAR. SO I PULLED OVER SLOWLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I HAD A WARNING TO 'SEE MANUAL' 'HILL ASSISTANT NOT AVAILABLE' 'STOP SAFELY NOW' AND IT WAS SHOWING TRACTION CONTROL ON. IT WILL NOT DRIVE. AND RUNS WEIRD NOW.

I NOTICED WHEN THE CAR WAS ON THE ENGINE MADE A CLUNKING SOUND AT STARTUP, THIS WAS NOT VERY UNUSUAL AS THE HYBRID HAS MADE DIFFERENT NOISES AT STARTUP, AND DEALERSHIPS HAVE ASSUMED THIS WAS "NORMAL". AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, A LOUD NOISE BEGAN, SOUNDING AS IF I WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE ANY AND ALL REPAIRS/RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY FELT THAT IT WAS THE BEARINGS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GET RID OF THE CAR THAN REPAIR IT. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF. IN APRIL OF 2020, THE ELECTRICAL/ A/C WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND THE FACEPLATE WAS REPLACED COSTING $780. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 7 KNOWN RECALLS, 3 OF WHICH HAD TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION/POWERTRAIN,...

WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL WHETHER YOU ARE USING CRUISE CONTROL OR NOT, THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT REALLY HARD, ONCE, TWICE AND SOMETIMES THREE TIMES BEFORE YOU GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT STARTED IN APRIL OF 2020. THE BACKUP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH FOR MORE THAN 50 MILES, CAUSES A SYSTEM ALERT THAT SAYS STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE NEXT TIME, MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING AND HE HAD TO VEER ONTO THE SHOULDER. MOST RECENTLY, MY GRANDMOTHER DROVE MY CAR TO THE AIRPORT AND WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC TURNING INTO THE AIRPORT AS SHE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO MANEUVER THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. I REGULARLY KEEP UP WITH ALL NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AND HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO MODICA BROTHERS AS WELL AS A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE BOTH TOLD ME IT IS BOLT CORROSION AS THEY ASSESSED ALL OTHER POSSIBILITIES. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND A RECALL FOR FORD FUSIONS MANUFACTURED IN HERMOSILLO IN 2013 UNDER RECALL...

SHIFTER LINKAGE BUSHING FAILED, CAUSING THE CAR TO BECOME STUCK IN REVERSE. A SHORT SEARCH REVEALED THAT THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL OUT FOR THIS VERY THING, EXCEPT MY VIN "DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE"

GEAR SHIFT CABLE DISCONNECTED, CAUSING INABILITY TO MOVE CAR. NO POWER TO ACCELERATOR REGARDLESS OF GEAR POSITION (COULD NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE). VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, AND HAD JUST COMPLETED A 30 MINUTE DRIVE.

MY FORD FUSION SHIFTER CABLE IS BROKE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE HOWEVER THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC CAR IM SO CONFUSED THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE PLEASE HELP!!!!

5 OUT OF 10 TIMES WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS HARD. 3 OUT OF 10 TIMES TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXCEEDINGLY HARD TO THE POINT IT SHUTTERS THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY 2 DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD "IT'S NORMAL" I HAVE OWNED CAR SINCE 33K, CAR NOW HAS 160K, STILL BUCKS AT LEAST ONCE WEEK AND SHIFTS HARD AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

SHIFTED GEAR TO PARK, ON THE DASHBOARD IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL YET THE GEAR WAS IN PARK. COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFT HANDLE, IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. TOWED CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED THE BRUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO A RECALL PLACED ON OTHER FORD FUSIONS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. THE RECALL # IS 19S16. FORD CORPORATION SAID THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THEY INITIATED A RECALL FOR THE OTHER FORD FUSIONS FROM TWO SPECIFIC PLANTS.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT OCCUR DAILY WITH THE VEHICLE. THESE ISSUES INCLUDE ALL WINDOWS, AC/HEAT, GAUGES, BLINKERS AND LOCKS CONTINUOUSLY TURNING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT ALSO STOPS OUR ABILITY TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO OR OUT OF PARK. OUR MECHANIC HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX TWO MONTHS REPLACING SEVERAL MODULES, ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WITH NO IMPACT ON THE ISSUES. A FORD TECH LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND ALSO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.
