My car has a recall and there is. It a fix for is yet and the dealer won’t give me a rental until I get it fixed and I’m out of a car basically because it’s unsafe to drive
It literally does what the recall says and mine isn’t covered? It jumps between second gear. The brakes do not automatically start working for like 5 seconds after starting it, you feel like you will go out into the road because it will not stop. Hill assist light is Constantly coming on which triggers abs brakes light and service light to come on and looks like a damn Christmas tree because the dash has so many lights on at night. You guys say it isn’t under these recalls?

Transmission was previously slipping 200 miles prior, but I was on a road trip and unable to visit a mechanic for inspection. At a certain point, the engine temperature gauge began climbing to HOT and would only come down when the accelerator was released. Eventually, this remedy stopped working, and the car fully overheated.

Had issues with Ford Fusion not shifting into a higher gear. Car would Rev up to over 4RPM and still wouldn’t shift up. (Automatic) Could’ve caused a crash had it happened driving on a highway. Took car to the mechanic and I just found out from the mechanic that it needs a new transmission! My car is mainly used for commuting and has about 150000 miles on it. I have looked up issues with this vehicle and this is a known issue! HELP! FORD should be recalling the bad transmission and fixing the problem!
2013: Purchased 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE. 2014: Transmission seal replaced by dealer after dashboard alert. After repair, car developed low-pitch whine. Dealer explained it was the battery charging. Nov 2021: Whine volume has increased. No dashboard alerts. Dealer says the transmission needs to be replaced. Dealer says transmission can fail at any time. I have stopped driving the vehicle because I don't want it to become disabled on the highway, possibly causing an accident.
Transmission shifter cable bushing worn out… dealership can’t get me in in a timely manner to diagnose/repair and didn’t provide with a rental car or loner.

I was driving at reg speed(55) down a flat highway. The warning sound and dash lights came on. Startled me.. the "hill assist does not work at this time"?? Light came on. Also 2 red lights at the bottom. I tried to see what the other lights were after I jumped and floated over to the rumble strips.. just bought the car yesterday.. happened twice today...
While driving back home from work on 07/22/21, I heard a noise on the front side of the car and lost power. I had to pull over to a parking spot in an apartment complex. My car wasn't moving forward or backward, I called Good Sam road assistance to get it towed on Friday, it has been inspected in a repair shop since then and apparently is a transmission issue. Good thing is there were no cars behind or in front of me and avoided a collision.
