The vehicle smelled like smoke and noise from the rear of the vehicle. Service advisor Roxanne Detgen, t. no. 586‑840‑1086, at Dorian Ford, says that the car likely needs a new engine. She has contacted Ford motor company and then will contact me to authorize a teardown of the engine. The vehicle is a safety risk because it had sudden poor driving performance without the illumination of any lights, loss of power, and is a fire hazard. In fact, it was at the dealer twice the same week this happened and no lights were on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45-50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed by an independent mechanic however, the contact was informed by the mechanic that the vehicle needed to be taken to an authorized ford dealer.

The vehicle was in motion on the highway when there was a clunk from the powertrain and the engine light and "hazard do not drive" light came on. I pulled over and had the vehicle towed. There had been a odd, sort of hard to hear whining noise when depressing the accelerator coming from some part of the powertrain for around 20,000 miles or so. I didn't think a whole lot about it since there were no warning indicators or engine lights on and besides the whining noise the vehicle ran normal. I had the vehicle taken to a ford dealership for a repair estimate and was told I needed to have the transmission replaced with a brand new one at the cost of almost what the vehicle's resale value was. I later had it taken to a transmission repair specialist where they would remove the transmission then repair the internal components in the transmission at a lesser cost than replacing it with a brand new one. I was told the "transfer gear bearing" failed and had to be replaced a long with other "fail points" known to fail in this particular model transmission.

Bushing with transmission cable came off, with it in gear, even tho shifted into park, its a known recall on other models but this one is not recalled, and I had to pay for this to be fixed. Not right
A part for my cars 'shifting cable' has been recalled several times, prior to the recall I had to personally pay out of pocket to replace said shifting cable. At this time my car continues to have severe/dangerous shifting problems. Ex: when I'm driving and it's needs to shift gears the car jerks incredibly hard. When I stop at a stop sign and attempt to accelerate I get nothing like the car has shifted to neutral. Pedal to the floor car will not go. As you can see this can/could cause a severe wreck, hurting my self my children, and other drivers. This part I can not afford to replace as every time I take the vehicle to ford the piece that has been recalled is not specifically the problem but in the same area. I'm at a loss on how to handle the situation. I'm reaching out with great concern.
