PRIMARY CONCERN: CAR LOSES ALL PROPULSION AND GOES INTO ACCESORY MODE WHEN ACCELERATING. I, AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS WITH 2017 FORD FUSION SPORT MODELS, HAVE LOST TOTAL POWER WHILE LEAVING RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, AND WORST OF ALL, MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR DIED UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MONTHS APART FROM EACH OTHER. A MEMBER OF OUR FACEBOOK GROUP OF FUSION SPORT OWNERS CAPTURED HIS CAR LOSE ALL POWER, ON VIDEO, AND HIS CAR IS BEING BOUGHT BACK BY FORD, BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THESE CARS, ALTHOUGH FUN AND ENJOYABLE, POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO NOT ONLY THE OWNERS OF THE CAR, BUT ALSO TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHO COULD HIT US FROM BEHIND, INJURING OF KILLING PASSENGERS IN EITHER VEHICLE, OR VEHICLES NEARBY. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM THE ROAD. HERE IS HIS VIDEO: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/NLNN0HKRHTG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDERS FORD (223 EAST GOODMAN RD, SOUTHAVEN, MS 38671, 662-349-7004), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I FIRST NOTICED WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR STALLED THEN A WRENCH TOOL APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN PROCEEDED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND DROVE OFF. THAT OCCURRED SPORADICALLY UNTIL 12/14/2018 WHEN A SHIFTSYSFAULT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I STARTED TO DRIVE OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTED TO PARK ON IT'S OWN AS I WAS DRIVING. BOTH ME N MY PASSENGER TRIED SHIFTING THE GEAR WITHOUT SUCCESS. I TRIED OVERRIDING THE GEAR ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL AND YOUTUBE VIDEO BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. CONTINUOUSLY SHIFTING TO PARK FROM NEUTRAL, REVERSE AND DRIVE ON IT'S OWN WHICH CAUSED ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET HOME. ONCE HOME I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE SO I COULD PARK IT BETTER HOWEVER A NEIGHBOR ATTEMPTED TO OVERRIDE THE COMPUTER BY UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY THEN REATTACHING IT WHEN ANOTHER ALERT APPEARED SAYING ENGINE COOLANT WAS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR 2HRS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I'M WAITING FOR A RESPONSE ON SERVICING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. ALSO, THE "SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT, SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FIVE STAR FORD STONE MOUNTAIN (3800 US-78, SNELLVILLE, GEORGIA 30039, (678) 384-4242) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CABLE BUSHING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

ON MAY 13, 2017 OR THERE ABOUT MY 2017 FORD FUSION FROM A STOPPED DURING TAKE OFF ACCELERATED VERY FAST ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON MAY 15, 2017 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND TOLD TECHNICIAN ABOUT IT. HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2017 I TOOK MY CAR IN SPECIFICALLY TO HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM CHECKED OUT AND AGAIN NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN SOON AS IT HAPPENED. ON OCTOBER 10, 2017 TAKING OFF FROM A STATIONARY POSITION I TOOK OFF AFTER LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF ACCELERATING IN A CURVE CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL AND I RAN INTO A TREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MANEUVER THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM THE PARK POSITION, BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO CRATER LAKE FORD LINCOLN (2611 BIDDLE RD, MEDFORD, OR 97504, (541) 887-6176). AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

RECEIVED THE VEHICLE WITH APPROX 64 MILES ON IT IN AUG 17. AT 70 MILES, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, WENT TO PULL THROUGH AND THE ENGINE MADE A FUNNY SOUND AND THEN THE CAR LOST POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE REVED HIGH BEFORE THERE WAS MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. CAR HAD NO POWER AND HAD TO LIMP IT TO A PARKING LOT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. NOW A YEAR LATER (13 AUG 18) WITH APPROX 4K MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT AND NO POWER. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UP A HILL AT 10 MPH AND THE ENGINE "CLUNKED", LOST POWER. WAITING ON A TOW TO THE DEALER FOR "REPAIR". THANKFULLY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A VEHICLE WITH 70 MILES AND AGAIN AT 4K MILES. I HOPE FORD TAKES NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM. I'M GLAD THESE EVENTS HAPPENED IN CITY CONDITIONS AND NOT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.
