Took car to dealership to have recall repairs fixed, now with repairs it has now caused a hard shift in gears. Recall repair has now caused another issue that was not a problem until recall work was completed. I was parked and car wouldn't come out of gear.
Moved my transmission from drive to park and it got stuck in park. Tried to move it back to drive but transmission wouldn't shift. In car the transmission shifts to drive but it doesn't move
After merging and accelerating onto the freeway, over to the far left lane, "stop safely now" warning came up and the car lost all power. Luckily I was able to coast all the way to the right shoulder (what Hawaii considers a shoulder, still very dangerous) the vehicle would not start, only beep multiple times and display the same message. After 5 min on phone trying to get Ford roadside assistance, the local highway patrol tow truck showed up. Before I allowed him to tow the vehicle I tried to start it and was successful.
Attempted to move my vehicle from my driveway. It started fine, but after shifting out of park, the transmission would not engage any gears, leaving my vehicle stranded. No resistance in the shifter, no gear indication and vehicle would not move.

My car was at idle at the store for less than 5 minutes and went into safe mode the mechanic said my active grill motor went out which caused my head gasket to blow without warning. I owe over $10000 on my car and now I have a $4000 shop bill. My car has never overheated not even at that time so my head gasket shouldn't be blown! please help!
I have 107,000 miles on 2015 Ford Fusion. On my way home my car lost power and was not shifting. I was able to make it home. I had car towed to tuttle click Ford in san juan capistrano, ca. I was notified that I was going to need a new transmission. Totally unacceptable, and I voiced my concerns to the service manager. I have done research online and found many complaints with the exact same symptoms with Ford Fusion. I have sent emails to Mr. Ford and the customer service manager and CEO of Ford and have not received any response. There are no recalls for this issue for my model year, yet it seems to be an ongoing problem. Also Ford Focus and festival have had a number of complaints as well. My car was on a city street in motion when the sudden loss of power and jerking motion started.

As I was driving on highway doing 55 mph, my Ford fusin 2015 wrench light came on and seat belt light along with car loosing power. Power dropped down to under 20mph and had to place emergency blinkers on to pull over to side of highway barely made it. Taken to dealership no codes were found to indicate the problem and could not be duplicated. Battery was replaced due to next day the battery was dead. 2 weeks later, while driving on the street going 35 mph same issue occurred. The RPM reved up and dropped down along with wrench light and seat belt light coming N. back to the dealership no codes stored to indicate the issue. This is very scary to lose power while driving and may cause an accident or even death. There are alot of complaints regarding this matter, you would think Ford would do something about it, unfortunately nothing has been done yet. Maybe someone has to be dead for them to take it into consideration. I'm going to purchase a Chevy!! be safe everyone!!!

We have a 2015 Ford Fusion SE. We were the 2nd owner and purchased from a dealership. While driving the car it started sounding like fluid in the dashboard and the car started shaking. Then it started blowing out tons of white smoke out the tail pipe, then the check engine light came on. We pulled over, parked car. Let sit and cool down. There was oil, transmission fluid, and coolant in the car. We have done all oil changes and maintenance regularly. We had the car towed to the dealership. After several days they came back stating it is a manufacturer defect and that basically the car sucked in coolant through the engine and was burning (reason for white smoke). It ruined the engine. The manufacturer warranty was over at 60K miles........we have 65K and Ford is refusing to cover the issue even though this is a defect that on their end. Also the intake manifold was replaced at 46K miles. How can Ford state that they are not responsible? we paid $16K for a car we have had barely over a year and now a pile of scrap metal.
When the car is cold the transmission shifts hard, from park to reverse then to all gears until we get to the correct speed. I took it to the dealer I bought it from while it was still under warranty (about 50000 miles on it). They said they couldn't do anything unless they could duplicate the problem and of course they couldn't get it to. Well now it has started doing it more often even when the car is warm. I feel like this is an issue with a lot of Fusion.

My car has 109,227 miles on it. And the transmission is shifting hard and delaying. This is making the car unsafe to drive and sometimes acts like it doesn't want to go into gear. Other people have complained on the internet. In a car this new still should have not have this issue so soon. There should be an investigation and a recall to correct the issue. This happens every time. From highway to city. And even when doing 50 and speeding up to 70 it still shifts hard.
