The shifter cable bushing failed, causing inaccurate gear selection, resulting in car rolling down my driveway, crossing the street and crashing into my neighbors tree. Damage included the rear bumper, the tree, no one was hurt but it could have been a lot worse. Ford has a recall for the same year, and model, but insist that my car is not in the list. This incident has cost to date almost a thousand dollars to fix. The loss of confidence regarding the safety of this vehicle cannot be monetized.

Jumping during acceleration when the car is shifting gears. Car acts as of it wants to turn off.

- Cheektowaga, NY, USA

I crashed my car into a light pole because the transmission cable broke while trying to turn around. I placed the car in reverse to complete a turn on S. boyle avenue in St. Louis but when I pressed the gas to go backward, the car went forward into the pole. The transmission stayed in drive when the cable broke and cause significant damage to my front fascia and grill. I am reporting this because Ford sent a recall notice and would not repair my car due to the damage resulting from a known defect. The recall notice said no accidents occurred from this recall and I had to correct the record. Ford's cable defect did cause my crash and vehicle damage. Ford has completed the cable recall but will not repair the resulting damage to my car.

Extremely abrupt shifting between 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd. 2013 Ford Fusion titanium AWD. The shift is becoming so hard that I brace myself and place my neck against the headrest during the shift. The transmission shift's so hard it sounds like something is going to break. I've had the adaptive system reprogramed 3 times and the solenoids in 2nd and 3rd replaced already. The shift is abrupt and hard no matter how I try accelerating, also sport mode doesn't make a difference.

The vehicle has an electrical glitch and when attempting to park the car it will show as park but will actually slip into neutral and roll forward or back if in a slight hill. Also an manufacturing error is causing the car to abruptly stop while on driving. The rpms will increase by itself and then suddenly fall to 0 and the car will not be able to move. All the electrical components will still be on I.e. radio, heat, lights but the car will not move. It's no warning as to when it will just suddenly stop so it's extremely unsafe if driving on a highway.

My car has been skipping and hesitation with power train or transmission while driving whenever it wants. It’'s nothing specific to make that happen. Last week back power windows quit working. Now....started car in drive, steering was locked. Drove back and forth, tried different gears, tried restarting, it finally started by turning key over. Came home, parked in driveway, can’T get steering to unlock at all now! I am over an hour away from home, so whenever it decides to turn, I can head home. But after reading these reviews, do I dare" does Ford want us owners to die, or the innocent we may hit" either way I would sue because they cannot deny knowing there’'s a problem!

The shift cable became disconnected from the transmission allowing the shift lever to move through the positions, but the vehicle would not move out of park. Fortunately, the vehicle was stuck in park and we could not pull it out of the driveway, but if this had happened when pulling in and it hadn't gone into park, it could have rolled down our driveway and hurt someone. This is the same issue described by Ford recall number 18S20, however my vehicle appears to not be included in the recall even though it is the same make model and year of the recalled vehicles and made at the same manufacturing facility in Mexico that is covered by the recall.

Arrived home placed my car on park and when I lifted my foot off the break the vehicle kept driving forward hitting a snow bank. Put my foot on break and turned off the vehicle. Tried to start the car but it says "transmission not on park" on dash. Car will not start. For safety I set parking break. Contacted for due to recall # 18S20 and was advised that according to my VIN # the recall does not apply to my vehicle. Exactly what the recall describes is what has happened to my vehicle. I have no other transportation. This is a very unsafe situation.
