Transmission was previously slipping 200 miles prior, but I was on a road trip and unable to visit a mechanic for inspection. At a certain point, the engine temperature gauge began climbing to HOT and would only come down when the accelerator was released. Eventually, this remedy stopped working, and the car fully overheated.

Check Engine light and Wrench light illuminated on the car Sunday. However, the car was at the dealer twice the same week before this happened. I pulled over because the vehicle was performing rough into a Lowes parking lot. I was within several hundred feet of a Ford dealer and drove it there. The vehicle smelled like smoke and noise from the rear of the vehicle. Service advisor Roxanne Detgen, t. no. 586-840-1086, at Dorian Ford, says that the car likely needs a new engine. She has contacted Ford motor company and then will contact me to authorize a teardown of the engine. The vehicle is a safety risk because it had sudden poor driving performance without the illumination of any lights, loss of power, and is a fire hazard. In fact, it was at the dealer twice the same week this happened and no lights were on.

On February 19, 2021. After backing my 2014 Ford Fusion into a parking space. I went to shift it into park. The lever shifted all the way forward as if it were in park. I turned off the car and because the car was on a slight incline it began to roll. I hit the brake and looked to see if I was indeed in park. The shifter was all the way forward but the display showed as if the car was in reverse. I tried to start the car. It would not start. I could not move the shifter out of park. I tried several times to remove the car from park. I could not. After checking youtube to see if anyone else had the same problems I checked on current recalls. There is a current recall on alike vehicles with the same problem I am having. Https://www.cars.com/research/Ford-Fusion-2014/recalls/. recall number 18V471000 component power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Ford Fusion vehicles, equipped with six-speed automatic transmissions. The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter cable to the transmission may degrade over time and cause the bushing to detach from the transmission. The condition could allow the driver to move the shift lever to park and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in park. I contacted the local Ford dealer and Ford.com and they told me, they would only fix the issues if I paid them because my Fusion was not on the recall list.

- St Clair Shore, MI, USA

The vehicle was in motion on the highway when there was a clunk from the powertrain and the engine light and "hazard do not drive" light came on. I pulled over and had the vehicle towed. There had been a odd, sort of hard to hear whining noise when depressing the accelerator coming from some part of the powertrain for around 20,000 miles or so. I didn't think a whole lot about it since there were no warning indicators or engine lights on and besides the whining noise the vehicle ran normal. I had the vehicle taken to a Ford dealership for a repair estimate and was told I needed to have the transmission replaced with a brand new one at the cost of almost what the vehicle's resale value was. I later had it taken to a transmission repair specialist where they would remove the transmission then repair the internal components in the transmission at a lesser cost than replacing it with a brand new one. I was told the "transfer gear bearing" failed and had to be replaced a long with other "fail points" known to fail in this particular model transmission.
