This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I received a "shift sys fault" error after I shifted into the reverse gear and reversed into a parking spot at my apartment complex. My car would not shift into any other gear after that. Luckily, I wasn't making a three point turn on a street or getting out of a shopping mall parking lot. This seems to be a known issue with Ford's switch cables and bushing, and a recall was already issued, but not for the model year 2019. The recall needs to be expanded to include 2019 and 2020 Ford Fusion.
My car started running weird, it would shake when at idle. It did this for about a week before the check engine light came on. I took my car to a mechanic and they determined the head gasket was bad. I took my car to a ford dealership for confirmation of the problem. They confirmed I had a bad head gasket. My safety is put at risk because this can cause engine failure. If my engine failed in the middle of the highway that would be extremely dangerous.
car gave error message of system shift fault car would not shift from park to drive and would automatically shift back into park. issue could be a bushing or solenoid issue Car has premature wear on rotors and needed to be replaced
I have a 2019 Ford Fusion Titanium that I just recently sold to my son. I purchased the car used from a dealership in January of 2020. In October of 2021the flexplate went out and was replaced under the manufacturer warranty. The part went out again in May of 2023 and since the car had been totaled out due to a hail storm I have been told the manufacturer warranty is no longer valid. I have been able to find that there was a bad batch of replacement parts that may have found its way into several vehicles that have experienced this same problem. When Ford replaced the flexplate it was only the flexplate that was replaced. I was required to replace the flexplate, the front fluid pump assembly and the torque converter when I had to have it fixed again. I believe that if Ford has updated this recall it is due to them knowing that either the parts used in the original repair were defective and they don't know which ones it was; or, they now know that the original fix should have included the front fluid pump assembly as well as the torque converter. I believe that either way I should at least be able to ask for Ford to cover the cost of the parts under this second repair in less than two years on the same issue. The parts that I had put on now are guaranteed for two years, why is that? The labor should be at a discounted rate as well. It is my hope that you will investigate this or look at your database to see how many other customers are experiencing the same issue.

I routinely take my car to get oil changes and check for any other problems. So 2 days after getting my oil changed at a dealership my car began to overheat which shouldn-??t have happened because when I got my oil changed they filled the liquids to proper levels. So I added antifreeze because my reservoir was empty once cooled I opened my reservoir and antifreeze began to come back up to the proper level. After getting it home that same thing happened and haven-??t moved it since. Now my car shakes and the overheating light stays on. There is no visible leak and I don-??t know where the antifreeze goes. My car is only about 3 years old and I don-??t believe this should be happening. I take good care of my car routine check ups and oil changes. After doing some research online I-??ve seen so many people with my same car reporting the same issue. I believe this problem has been recalled in older years (2014-2016) unsure of exact years but I believe it wasn-??t fixed and now has cause major stress for me because I only have one car. Please look into this because right now I-??m out of a car and I don-??t know what to do and I am still paying on it and can-??t even drive it.
2019 Ford Fusion SE. Car kept stalling and running hot. I took it in and there-??s coolant in the cylinders, which means new engine. Haven-??t had the car a year and a half. Chevy sent me to Ford, Ford wants my extended warranty to pay for it. If it does, I-??ll be capped off and still have to come up with $1000!!

Car has been blowing excessive smoke from the exhaust only on start up after car has been parked for a few hours. Ford acknowledged new engine was needed however a week after my car had been waiting for the engine ford said it didn't need an engine. Started after the first oil change at about 9000 miles car stalled immediately after I left the dealership from getting an oil change.
I had my flexplate fail twice within 12500 miles of each other. First break was in December of 2021 at 52xxx miles. The flexplate can fail and have multiple cracks in it causing it to rattle and break further on each start and drive, causing the possibility of it completely breaking while driving if someone does not verify what it is. It sounds like a knock in the motor and be mistaken as that if the flexplate is not looked at. I only caught the break cause I heard a slight ticking getting louder every couple of days. And when I went to the dealership to get it looked at it broke further and started making a louder tick/clank. I have talked to a dealer worker that has has the same issue come up (cracked flexplate) with his edge with the 2.0 motor. Along with other research I-??ve done I see there are MANY fusions and edges with the 2.0 EcoBoost that have the same issue. So this is a wide spread issue. Ford knows of this issue but does not take responsibility for the issue if the vehicle is no longer under warranty.
