In August 2023, brought my 2016 Ford Fusion SE ecoboost with 77,000 miles on it to Ford Dealership due to vehicle stalling on 3 different occasions within a 3 week period. Occurred at low speed while starting out. No warning lights came on. They performed 2 recall notices (one dealing with powertrain control module) and said a fuel sensor code came up and they replaced that. Also replaced auto transmission fluid though wasn't required requested by me. See attached paperwork #1 A little over month later, car stalled on highway at 60mph. Wrench warning light came on. My son was able to pullover over safely and restarted and seem to run fine again. Called for another appt. and Ford dealership took in on Oct 3rd. During that time, car skipped (maybe between gears) a couple times around 40mph. I was told that torque converter and a couple other things were bad and it needed a new transmission. Also said that transmission fluid was bad (had metal filings in it) though when replaced a month earlier, no mention fluid had metal shavings in it. After researching online it appears the transmissions in these cars are notoriously faulty, but Ford has done nothing to address it. Believe there are current cases going on in Michigan and California. Ford has apparently known these transmissions were bad but continued producing them effecting 2009 - 2017 Ford Fusions. Ford has offered no compensation to fix my transmission. I expected to have this car a long time, but this transmission issue has gone on for years with no recalls being issued. This is a safety issue and regardless of warranty, Ford should issue recall for transmission. They offer a band aid recommendation but not worth it. Dealer wants over $9000 to replace it. This car should easily see 200,000 miles if well kepted (and it has been) but not worth putting in a new transmission for over $9000 especially if it is prone to failure. Serious crash probability when car loses power on interstate. See Item #2.

Vehicle does not go in gear when shifter is put in the corresponding gear indicator. Though I am able to move the shifter handle through all the drive modes, (P, R, N, D, S), it-??s Currently stuck in park and will not get in gear to Drive, neutral or reverse. I-??m unable to move the vehicle. There is no indication or warnings of malfunction. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone to assess, as I am unable to drive the vehicle. Pending towing to the near Ford dealership for diagnostics. The vehicle drove just fine the morning of the incident.

- Davie, FL, USA

There is an issue with the (evap) solenoid/associated sensor that causes the vehicle not to restart at unexpectable intervals and the fuel delivery system is also affected during fueling and seemingly during acceleration, at least. The key was recently replaced and association between the problem and the key reading mechanism is unspecified. A power train affect/association is also likely component- that based upon information provided to consumer. I've heard similar problems with other Fords and in other conversations it has not been indicated to me that the models' component's failure is not problematic. It has not been stated how that is contributory to the increased collision risk associated with the brake component that is a current recall. It began prior to the key replacement which is in the dealer repair record and 4 weeks prior to this submission is listed as the incident onset date.
