2014 FORD FUSION Power Train Problems

I GOT MY CAR SERVICES AT 41094. THEY INSPECTED NOTHING WAS FOUND CRITICAL AT THAT TIME. THEN SUDDENLY ONE DAY DURING DRIVING ON THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON (MILAGE ~45480). I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME ACCELERATION LAG ISSUES LATELY BUT THOSE WILL COME AND GO, THE CAR WILL TAKE LONGER TIME TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. SO, I DROPPED IT OFF TO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE FOUND THAT THE TURBO CONNECTOR AND THE TURBOCHARGER WAS FULL OF OIL. THIS INDEED IS COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. SO, THEY REPLACED THE TURBO CHARGER. I HAVE RECEIVED MY CAR BACK WITH THE REPLACED TURBO CHARGER AND I DON'T EXPERIENCE THE ACCELERATION LAG ANYMORE. MY COMPLAINT: I THINK THIS DOES EFFECT THE SAFETY BECAUSE WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A TIMELY MANNER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (MULLINAX FORD OF KISSIMMEE 1810 E IRLO BRONSON MEMORIAL HWY, KISSIMMEE, FL 34744 407-846-6000) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION, BATTERY, AND DRIVE TRAIN. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V875000 (SEAT BELTS) AND A MANUFACTURER'S EXTENDED SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO ADDRESS A FAILURE CONCERNING MODULES FOR THE ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR MONTHS CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK TO VERIFY THE EXTENDED SERVICE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE DEALER MADE NO MENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONTACT'S CONCERNS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

.I HAVE A 2014 FORD FUSION THAT HAS A TOTAL OF EIGHT SAFETY RECALLS. I HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE SAFETY NOTICE RECALL REGARDING THE PASSENGER FRONT SEATBELT FROM FORD MOTORS. THE NOTICE DID NOT STATE A TIMELINE INDICATING WHEN THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVE. I CONTACT FORD MOTORS TO GET A TIMELINE AND WAS ADVISED BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT FORD IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE RECALL AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY UPDATES. I STATED MY DISAPPOINTMENT AND CONCERNS WITH FORD MOTORS. I ALSO STRESS THAT MY FAMILY SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISE BY RIDING IN AN UNSAFE CAR. SHE STATED TO ME 'THAT FORD CANNOT HELP ME WITH A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION. FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS DRIVERS.

OUR 2014 FORD FUSION HAS 81415.5 MILES AND LAST NIGHT WE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND THE ENGINE WAS IDLING REAL ROUGH. SO WE GOT IT HOME AND INTO OUR GARAGE NOW THE CAR WHEN TRYING TO START IT JUST SPUTTERS AND DIES. FORD SAID HO WELL, ITS YOUR PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT REGISTER IN PARK AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,476.

WHILE DRIVING I HAD TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND CAR SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A TWO DAY SPAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER TO THE DESIRED GEAR, THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE DETAILS OF THE DIAGNOSIS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DIAGNOSIS FOR THE TRANSMISSION HAD NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF (NO POWER, NO ENGINE) WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO FORD - BUT THEY NEVER SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED IT. FORTUNATELY - IT HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED IN LIGHT TRAFFIC - BUT IT IS SCARY AND I FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SOMEDAY I MIGHT BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING POWER WHILE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PULLING OVER THE CAR LIGHT FLASHING SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, AND STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY" I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. NO RECALL FOUND?

MY FORD FUSION ECO HAS A MESSAGE TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK AND L CARE LOST POWER I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR . WHAT IS THE ISSIE WAS ON THE STREET GOING ABOUT 35 MPH IN40 NPH ZONE

I BOUGHT A USED 2014 FORD FUSION FROM OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT, ONE OWNER, NO HISTORY OF ANY ISSUES. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I COULD FEEL A HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD AND THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 4500 BEFORE FALLING BACK DOWN TO AROUND 2000. THEN IT'S WORSE GOING FROM 3RD TO 2ND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR JOLTS FORWARD AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND IT HAS THE WORST TRANSMISSION I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. IT'S A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WHEN I KNOW MY CAR IS GOING TO SHIFT SO HARD THAT THE WHOLE JERKS FORWARD. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE UNHAPPY WITH A CAR IN MY LIFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE SPECIFIC REPAIR SOLUTION THAT WAS PROVIDED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION, DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND WHEN ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CAR LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THERE WERE NO RPMS AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL DID NOT HELP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE POWER BACK IN THE ENGINE WAS TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN BACK IN DRIVE AT WHICH POINT THE CAR STUTTERED BUT AT LEAST I REGAINED POWER TO ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER IN MY CONTROL

TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY ENGAGES INTO GEAR THRUSTING THE DRIVER FORWARD AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON TRANSMISSION , AS WELL AS SAFETY ISSUES BY STOPPING THE CAR BETWEEN GEARS THEN SHOOTING FORWARD. I WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN THE CAR UPSHIFTED , I ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME BECAUSE IT WAS AS IF THE CAR FIRST DOWNSHIFTS, THEN SLAMS UP INTO THE HIGHER GEAR.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS. SHUDDERS AND SHAKES SHIFTING INTO GEAR FROM A STOP.

I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE HARSH GEAR SHIFT ON DECEMBER 13, 2015 EVERY TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN I REACHED 20MPH AND 40MPH I FELT THE HARSH GEAR SHIFT AND THE CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 14, 2015 AND THEY SAID THE MOUNT FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THE TECHNICIAN WASN'T THERE TO CHECK OUT THE CAR IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS MECHANICAL OR NOT, BUT THEY DID THE WORK ON THE CAR ANYWAY AND ON DECEMBER 16, 2015, THE DEALER CALLED TO SAY THE CAR WAS READY. IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THEY DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE CAR AFTER SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRING THE MOUNT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING, EXCEPT WORSE. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT DAY, THE TECHNICIAN WAS THERE AND SAID IT IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I ASKED FOR A...

ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION KNOCK. STEERING KNOCK FROM TURNING WHEELS ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. WHEN IN PARK, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL THE KNOCK BEHIND THE FIREWALL IS NOT HEARD. WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WITH THE ELECTRONIC EBRAKE ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE THERE IS A KNOCK BEHIND THE FIREWALL AROUND THE TRANSMISSION AREA (LOCATION IS CLOSE TO THE LOWER FRONT OF THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA; WHERE IT IS PREDOMINANTLY HEARD). IT IS NOT HEARD UNTIL YOU ARE IN THE CAR WITH THE DOORS CLOSED (NO MUSIC ON JUST THE ODD KNOCK WHEN STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE OR IN DRIVE WITH THE EBRAKE ON). I HAD THE ENGINE CHECKED FOR NOISE; MECHANICS AT OPELIKA FORD AL STATED IT MAY BE MY FUEL RAIL AND FUEL FILTER WHICH MAY BE CAUSING CABLING BEHIND THE FIREWALL TO RATTLE. IF THAT IS THE...

ON 6/4/2015 AT 7AM I HAD JUST DROPPED MY SON OFF AT HIS DAYCARE FACILITY. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT OF FACILITY PARKING LOT AND ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER ALMOST CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A TWO WAY ROAD. AFTER THE HORRIBLE SCARE AND MANY PEOPLE HONKING AND ANGRY AT ME AS IF I HAD DONE IT PURPOSELY, I WAS ABLE TO MOSTLY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR AGAIN BUT BY PUSHING GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND GETTING PAST 2000RPM. EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP IT WAS THE SAME SCENARIO. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT YET OPEN, I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND CALLED THEM IMMEDIATELY AT 8 AM TO TELL THEM WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED....

MY DAUGHTERS CAR WAS PARKED APPROX. 12-14 HOURS BEFORE SHE WENT TO USE IT AGAIN. SHE TRIED TO REMOTE START IT BUT THE ENGINE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF SAYING IT WASN'T IN PARK. SHE TURNED REMOTE OFF & TRIED TO START IT BY KEY. SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK EMERGENCY BREAK OFF & TRIED AGAIN, IT IMMEDIATELY WENT BACKWARDS ABOUT 2 FT., DID THE SAME THING & SHUT OFF, SAYING NOT IN PARK. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR HELP & SAW THAT A RECALL IS IN PROGRESS STARTING 1-5-15 FOR THIS. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE & HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER. SHE IS 700 MILES FROM HOME, SUPPOSED TO START A NEW JOB, HAD THE CAR FOR 4 MONTHS AND IT ONLY HAS 2300 MILES ON IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LACK OF SAFETY IN THIS BRAND NEW CAR AND MUCH MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IT HAPPENED SO FAR FROM...

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD ACCELERATION/ DECELERATION ISSUES SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014, THE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT AND HAPPEN AT VARIOUS RPM AND VARIOUS SPEEDS. IVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE THEY HAVE TOLD ME 3 TIMES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS....WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE ACCELERATOR WILL OCCASIONALLY STICK AND HOLD THAT HIGHER RPM FOR 5 OR 6 SECONDS BEFORE DECELERATING, THIS HAPPENS APPROX. 50% OF THE TIME WHILE SHIFTING. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. MY RESPONSE IS... IF IT IS SUPPOSED TO PERFORM THIS WAY THEN WHY DOESN'T IT PERFORM THIS WAY ALL THE TIME RATHER THAN 50% OF THE TIME? THE SECOND ACCELERATION/ DECELERATION ISSUE IS....THE CAR WILL...

I WAS EXITING A FREEWAY WHEN I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST PROBLEM. IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOST MOST FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED AN ALERT TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK. I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AND DID NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GEARS. HE ONLY THING THAT WAS FUNCTIONING WAS THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE GAS. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. I WAS SPEEDING UP TO GET ON TO THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN, DISPLAYING THE SAME MESSAGE. HOWEVER, THIS TIME, BECAUSE IT WAS NIGHT, THE LIGHTS POWERED OFF AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHAT WAS AHEAD OF ME. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE, PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE IGNITION AND CONTINUE ON. I CALLED...

I HAD MY 2014 FORD FUSION BROUGHT TO WALMART FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON JULY 11, 2014. THE TECHNICIANS COMMENT ON THE SERVICE ORDER/RECEIPT STATED TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING. THE TECHNICIAN INVITED TO THEIR WORK AREA AND SHOWED ME THE LEAK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I DROPPED OFF THE CAR TO THEM ON JULY 28, 2014 AROUND 5:00 PM. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM TELLING ME THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS THE ? LEFT FRONT AXLE SEAL LEAKS. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT REALLY AN ISOLATED CASE. FOR SOME REASON, I NOW HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE LAST TIME I WILL BE DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE ONLY THE SEAL WAS REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I GOT A WARNING MESSAGE STATING 'TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK'. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT ON MY FLASHERS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND IT GOT ME HOME. TOOK IT TO BOWEN SCARFF FORD ON 6/26, THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT AND SAID NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND GAVE IT BACK SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THE CAR STALLED. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR A MIDDLE LANE I MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS BRAND NEW CAR. AND THE FORD DEALER JUST GAVE IT BACK TO ME. *TR
