Transmission shift cable bushing failed. Car was in 'reverse'. brake applied and car shifted to drive. When brake was released the car drove backwards and remained in reverse. Brakes were immediately applied and car shifted to park. When brake was released, car again drove backwards, remaining in reverse. Brakes applied and car was turned off. Dash still indicated car was in reverse, but shifter was in park. Parking brake applied. Car would not start again because transmission was stuck in reverse. Despite recall # 19S16, my VIN# is not listed, despite an identical problem. Dealer refused service under recall, and repairs needed to be done out-of-pocket. Car was serviced at american tire and auto. Llc, 426 U.S. 206 #1, hillsborough, NJ. (908) 281-7500 failure of the transmission shift cable bushing was confirmed.
II had recall 19V362000 power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift done on this car I cannot remember or find the date. I never had a problem with the shifter before the recall was done. On Monday Nov 2 2020 my wife had the car she stopped at a gas station parked the car and got out. The car rolled into a curb. She checked and the shifter was in park.the engine would not start, she called me and I looked at the shifter cable was detached from the trans shifter arm. The bushing was still on the shifter linkage at the trans.I perchesed a new bushing part "dg9Z-7K340-a. I instaled the new bushing as per the recall instructions. I am concerned this recall did not fix the problem, and may have made it worse. I still have the old bushing if you are interested in seeing it I will send it to you. Thank you taylor '
Me and many others that have the 1.5 engines have the same problem as the safety recall 18S20 ' shift cable bushing replacement. This is the same part with the same problem. Why are our vehicles not included in this recall? I can't even find correct part for replacement. My car has lost propulsion after pulling out into traffic on I-65 in birmingham Alabama, nearly causing an accident. I know I am not the only consumer that has this same complaint. Ford should at the minimum offer the part for replacement. I've been having to drive like this for a year now.

When putting the vehicle in park today with shifter, I removed the key, lifted my foot off the brake and the vehicle started rolling backwards. I applied the brakes. When turning the vehicle back on, it was stuck in "neutral" on the dash but the shifter is stuck in "park" and will not shift or move out of park. This is a known recall on Ford Fusion year 2014 but my VIN does not say it was part of that recall.
I am having problems with the transmission. The main problem is the shifting. You will be driving at 30 mph and when it shifts up it fells like the transmission is going to fall out. It will do the same thing when you are slowing down. This has been going on for a while it is just getting worse.
The transmission isn't switching right and throws the whole car forward and it only has 32000 miles on it 2014 Ford Fusion. This has been a ongoing issue had looked at 2X they say all 2014 Ford Fusion do this. Causing wrecks is ridiculous!

The car will pulsate and shake when driving, then the check engine light would come on. You can't accelerate, like there no accelerating in then the car cut off, which is danger. I have had this car for less then a year, I just payed close to 1,000 bucks getting it fix from having electrical problems that my warranty did not cover. I had to take to the shop for things that was or recalled., in now this. I think I was sell a lemon.
Bushing with transmission cable came off, with it in gear, even tho shifted into park, its a known recall on other models but this one is not recalled, and I had to pay for this to be fixed. Not right
A part for my cars 'shifting cable' has been recalled several times, prior to the recall I had to personally pay out of pocket to replace said shifting cable. At this time my car continues to have severe/dangerous shifting problems. Ex: when I'm driving and it's needs to shift gears the car jerks incredibly hard. When I stop at a stop sign and attempt to accelerate I get nothing like the car has shifted to neutral. Pedal to the floor car will not go. As you can see this can/could cause a severe wreck, hurting my self my children, and other drivers. This part I can not afford to replace as every time I take the vehicle to Ford the piece that has been recalled is not specifically the problem but in the same area. I'm at a loss on how to handle the situation. I'm reaching out with great concern.
