Cracked Flexplate on 2.0L EcoBoost motor. Apparently this is a common issue on those Ford motors and it is not a recall, what I think it should be once it is a manufacturing defect and a repair will cost about 4K.

My 2017 Ford Fusion 2.0L AWD with ~ 70k mileage car started to show an acceleration hesitation when starting from a stop on Thursday and Friday of the week. The following Monday morning, my car would start to vibrate when at a stop sign or traffic light when in drive. Over the following couple days, the vibration became excessive to the point that the car would vibrate excessively and stall if left in Drive when at a stop. When one is at a stop and puts the car into Park, the engine RPM's immediately surge and then settle down to a normal RPM. There were no warning lamps or messages on the dash. I took the car to my local Meineke on Friday of the same week and they determined that it was a Torque Converter issue and that is something that they could not do. I then took the...

After driving on the highway approximately 30 miles I came to a stop sign. Stopped and went to accurate again, car shifted so hard it felt like someone rear ended me. Got to the next stop sign not even a quarter mile down the road. Stopped began to accelerate and it happened again. Continued my trek onto the freeway, car drive fine, shifted gears fine. After about an hour on the freeway I came into traffic, stopped, began to accelerate again and the same thing happened. This time my car began to violently shake. I pulled over to the side of the road. The wrench icon popped up on my dash. I shut the vehicle off. After sometime attempted to start the vehicle again to see if I could limp it to the next exit, vehicle continued shaking violently. Had to have vehicle towed off the road. Currently waiting to...

I CAN PICK THE ENTIRE CABLE UP AND DO IT WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT. I'VE LOOKED AROUND AND I AM SEEING MANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS. THE ONLY SCARY THING IS MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME THIS MORNING WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT THANKFULLY OUR ROAD ISN'T BUSILY TRAVELED ON.

ONE EVENING WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE RADIAL DIAL SHIFTER AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO PARK. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AT ALL, AND I SAT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR FOR OVER TWO HOURS. THE ROAD IS SUCH THAT PEOPLE HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH NEIGHBORS' YARDS TO GET AROUND ME. I'M VERY FORTUNATE THAT MY NEIGHBOR IS AN ENGINE MECHANIC AND WAS ABLE TO WALK OVER AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

I LISTENED FOR ANY UNUSUAL SOUNDS BUT THERE WASN'T ANY. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR IT JERKED A LITTLE HARD AND ACCELERATED ABNORMALLY.

AFTER HAVING IT TOWED AND THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THE PART THAT'S MESSED UP IS ELECTRICAL AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR.

SHIFT DIAL GET STUCK IN PARK, WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK EVEN WITH THE OVERRIDE, HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE, BOTH TIMES THERE WAS "NO PROBLEMS," AND THE SHOP ALWAYS IT WORKS WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DROPS IT OFF. IT HAPPENS ON AND OFF, NEVER GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE OR THROWS A CODE. COULD BE DRIVING ONE MINUTE, GET HOME, SHUT THE CAR OFF, A COUPLE HOURS LATER GET BACK IN, AND IT DOESN'T SHIFT ANYMORE. IT'S EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND CONSIDERING THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS "THIS HAPPENS A LOT" I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T RECALL THE FAULTY CABLE OR RELAY OR TRANSMISSION OR SHIFT DIAL IF IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE AFTER TAKING IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS, THEY ALL HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE ISSUE, JUST TO "DEAL WITH IT".

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION AND THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING CAME APART CAUSING MY CAR TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE.
