A wrench warning light came on, and a warning "SHIFT SYS FAULT Service Required" appeared on the dashboard. This warning appeared when I tried setting the dial to park in the car, and the "P" on the dial was blinking. I could not put the car back in park and had to apply the emergency brake to ensure the car stayed parked. Luckily I was back at home when this happened and was not out in public where this could have caused an accident if I was not able to switch from reverse "R" to "D" for example. After checking online and physically checking the part myself I found the issue to be with the transmission shifter bushing (part # KV6Z7K340A) being missing/degraded. This follows the same issue noted in recall #22V413000 which was for the 2013-2016 fusions, but it should be expanded to the 2018-2020 models too. The vehicle has not been officially inspected due to the fact it cannot be driven anywhere, however, I have ordered the parts from the local Ford dealer for replacement. The failure mileage was 82,670 miles.

2019 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L. Not made aware of CSP on my car. Have dealer notes saying my car wasn’t listen in OASIS for notification. Although when I found the CSP online my car is an “affected vehicle”. I now have low coolant, white exhaust smoke and severe knocking from my engine. I had a first ever reported issue to the dealership in 05/2023 where my car stalled out and dash lights illuminated. They ran codes and the only documented code in the service paperwork was P0222. They found a “chaffed wire”. They did not upgrade my PCM. Although by 05/2023 that was the recommendation on the CSP for the dealership to do after previously failed bandaid fixes by Ford. My car will be going to the dealership on 12/9/24 to address my concerns and request all of my detailed service records. And really figure out why exactly the dealership didn’t complete ANYthing issued in the CSP especially when I was taking my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. I am within the 6 or 7 years and 84k miles or whatever it is now. It continuously changes but honestly I am quite upset that faulty engines aren’t being recalled by Ford but Ford will issue a recall on BACK UP CAMERAS. Like seriously. Engine > camera A faulty back up camera is probably not the same level of fire/safety risk as the faulty engines Ford continues to refuse to recall.
