While returning from vacation in Georgia, I was gassing up in South Carolina when I placed my car in park and it started to roll away. I immediately used the parking brake to stop the vehicle. Tried to shift in another gear and the shifter would not move. Had car towed to local Ford dealer in hardeeville, SC on July 7th, 2018.

While in motion, automatic transmission hesitates to shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. This occurs at all temperatures and speeds. Vehicle is 2014 Fusion SE, 2.5L with six speed automatic, has 13,500 miles as of 4/3/18.
This car just fell apart at 130000 miles. The purge valve failed 3 times. The ABS speed sensor pigtail failed. The entire PCM unit board shorted un repairable. The map sensor failed. Ford has charged me 3 times for diagnosis as failures were less then 4 days apart so towed back each time. A PCM complete failure on a car not even 4 years old with only 130000 miles is an issue as they want around $1000 for replacement when it should not be failing. Add in all the previous recalls this car has been a lemon from the start. I am a long time Ford buyer but this has soured me. The ABS pig tail triggered all safety lights drops power steering and poor braking.
2014 Ford Fusion. Consumer writes in regards to emergency brake intermittently disengages while vehicle manual transmission idles in neutral. The consumer stated the driver's side seat warmer power on by it's self. The navigation system dash display failed to allow data entry.
Very dangerous safety hazard with my 2014 Ford Fusion. I have been having issues with my car stalling on me. Typically it happens when I am leaving a parking lot or gas station, pulling away from a stop sign/light, or reversing from a parking spot and shifting back into drive. It will sputter, the RPM needle rapidly fluctuates above 1 and under 1, and then will just go to 0. at all times I am driving at low speeds, but numerous times I was either driving into a busy street or it stalled in an intersection where I or other people could have been seriously injured. This has happened about 10 times in the last 2 weeks, but it is very random. Some days will go by without a hitch and other days it will happen 2 or 3 times. Most of the time when it happens, it happens again right after. So I will put the car in park, completely shut it off, and turn it back on, it will drive for like 5-10ft and then do it again. I took it to the dealership, and they said they could not find an issue. The did a few test drives and let it sit and run for awhile, and the car didn't stall. There is no engine light on, so they said they can not diagnose the problem, unless they see it for themselves. This is very concerning to me as I am scared to drive, knowing that it could stall and I could get in an accident. I also drive for a ride sharing company, and it is too risky for me to pick up passengers knowing something could happen, and I would be responsible. This issue needs to be addressed right away as I know I am not the only one having this problem, which means there a a number of faulty cars on the road that can just stall out at any moment and cause fatal accidents. I am scared to drive this car! this has been an on-going issue that has gradually gotten worse, and thankfully I have managed to stay accident free. (I have attached other complaints)

My husband and I were getting ready to leave town for a friends wedding, dropped our son off at school, went to a gas station to fill up, started the car up and went to leave and couldn't move the car out of park. Called a tow truck, come to find out my 3 year old cars transmission cable snapped. I had to pay $700 to fix it. When I looked online, this isn't something new for these cars. It needs to be recalled.
I pulled into the parking space put my car in park got out went to go into my job thankfully I happened to look back and noticed my car rolling the transmission cable shifter broke I think this needs to be a recall because what if somebody's kids got out of the car and walked behind it and it started rolling; you put it in park you think that's what you did and I have read after googling it this is a big issue it's going to end up being ignored till somebody gets hit by their own car or a kid, even an animal or rolls into an object of some sort
While driving this car it stalls without warning.? I have researched this problem and it describes a problem with the throttle body. I take the car up to the dealership and they tell me nothing is wrong. Well!! there is a problem because it stalls all the time!!!!! a man at another Ford dealership said throttle body as soon as the problem was mentioned but he hoped I didn't hear that. It needs to be fixed!!!
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 then it could cause an accident. Car accelerates suddenly after the lag.

.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.
