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.

Transmission is slipping really bad. It stalls while driving and trying to accelerate. It also shifts out really rough. The electrical system stays on even when the car is off I've already replaced refurbished transmission and the wheel bearing. I feel very unsafe and don't allow my kids to ride in car for not knowing what could happen. Even while car is idling there a loud knock

The transmission has to be replaced at low mileage. Research showed this a huge issue with other owners of the ford fusion 2013-2015. Similar to engine problems, transmission problems are the last thing any driver would like to deal with. This is because it costs a lot of money on repair and requires a certain skill set to get it fixed. Unfortunately, 2014 ford fusion transmission problems were the third most reported about this vehicle. In general, the problems were related to issues with shifting, complete transmission failure, and transmission shuttering. Many owners of vehicles around 28,000 miles reported rough transmission shifting along with transmission slipping, which is not expected at this mileage of this vehicle. The problem was mostly resolved by either replacing the transmission or performing a global reset. The average repair cost for transmission slipping was about $750. At least two owners reported a complete transmission failure of their 73,000 miles vehicles. The owners mentioned that they performed regular maintenance to the vehicle, and they did not see any warning signs that could point them to do something before the complete failure. The owners did not include information about repair options or repair costs. Lastly, a couple of owners indicated frustration from transmission shuttering every time they drive the vehicle. They mentioned that the shuttering fades out after they drive for a long time. However, the shuddering becomes more severe when they switch from park to drive or vise versa. Unfortunately, transmission shuttering occurred at relatively new vehicles around 5,000 miles.

My 2014 ford fusion has electrical problems. The AC/heater just come on full blast sometimes and sometimes not at all.. It is very dangerous when I'm trying to drive in bad weather. It wont even defrost my windows correctly.. My transmission is slipping and has done so for 5 years. Ford dealers have not helped in anyway even thought I have a recall letter stating the there was a recall on the shifter cable. It said that my car isn't going all the way into gear/park and it could cause problems for transmission in the future and it has. I need help, please! The shifter cable broke completely off and fidd had it towed to fix it. They fixed it in less then 30mins but did not even look at my transmission after I told them that my car is driving horrible. It has no power hardly when I press the gas. I have almost been in several bad wrecks because of it. I can't drive over 70 miles an hour so my car knocking really hard. Also my headliner on the inside of my car is falling down. Ford said they were measured wrong when they built these ford fusions but have yet to do a recall on them. It has fallen down on my little girls head and my own head while driving at a dangerous speed.

After months of hard shifting and slipping, in june of 2019...with only 53,000 miles on the car...the transmission popped out of gear and into neutral while on the interstate, and refused to go back into gear. Vehicle had to be coasted, in dangerous fashion and in traffic, off to the side of the road. Vehicle later began shifting okay (temporarily) and no cause or fix could be found. Ford motor company sent us on our way in the vehicle. Then in november of 2019, with only 65,000 miles on the vehicle, the vehicle began clunking and spewing transmission fluid everywhere which driving around the city. Our local ford service department has determined the vehicle needs a completely new transmission. Fmc is also refusing to cover the cost of repair now that the vehicle is just barely out of warranty....even though problems were reported while the vehicle was still under warranty. Attached documents, and incident information (speed, mileage) are in reference to the first incident.

I purchased my ford while it was still under the warranty. I took it to a dealer because I was losing power while driving in a certain gear at a certain RPM after the engine was running for about 30 minutes. I was told it was a wiring issue which I had the dealer fix. By this time I was close to the warranty being up. It didnt fix the issue. The vehicle loses power intermittently or stutters. I get p0352 codes. I have been dealing with it because it is intermittent but recently the wiring harness melted on an ignition coil. I have replaced the ignition coils, the pig tail, the spark plugs, changed transmission fluid, rechecked all the cables, and once the dealer reprogrammed the PCM. It has to be the transmission but because it is intermittent the dealer cant find anything wrong. I actually lost power once at low speeds after the transmission slipped and dinged a poll causing a dent in my car. Thankfully I only lost power once on the high way and no one hit me. Since I am out of warranty I am forced to find the cause and fix it myself. I do not have 4 grand for a new transmission install. My research shows that ford has three issues with my year. 1. Ignition coils over heating due to bad pcms or programming 2. Transmission bubbles or tears forming in the rings 3. Cable controls on the transmissions. I am out of options and dont know what to do so I figure I would warn off others. Dont by a ford with the 6f35 transmission unless it is a later year. I hear the 2019 has it fixed and I wish I could have one of those but the best I can do is warn others. I am stuck. 2 years of my life wasted.

Transmission slips into gear with a slight jerk when up shifting or down shifting. Never have issue putting car into drive however there is a delay occasionally when putting the car into reverse from drive to backup. Sometime can take up to 3 seconds before it initiates into reverse to back up.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford fusion. While the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to place the gear into park; however, the gear shifter failed to engage. The contact had to break the plastic gear shifter mechanism to place the gear into park. The vehicle was towed to malloy ford of winchester (1911 valley avenue, winchester, va 22601, (540) 667-4434) and the gear shifter clutch was replaced. The repair did not correct the failure. A few weeks later, the contact was unable to shift gears. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission's front clutch slipped and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v471000 (power train) and the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v169000 (power train). The failure mileage was 195,000.

I purchased the ford focus in june of 2014. I am now 80 years old and thought this would be my last car. Shortly after purchase it became obvious that the transmission was not working properly. I experienced stuttering on acceleration which causes an unsafe condition when driving through an intersection. At times, the transmission will slip. Very frightening when this happens in the middle of an intersection. The transmission also causes the car to lurch forward on deceleration. Neither does it hold properly on a hill, and it can also make a grinding sound in the lower gears on take off. These conditions present a safety threat because it affects my ability to control the car on acceleration and deceleration. Ford has known about this problem since 2010 and has taken no action to rectify the situation. It appears it would be incumbent on the selling dealership to disclose this defect on purchase. I was finally informed of the problem at the first service when I complained. This is pure and simple non disclosure which is illegal in sales of any kind. I have had my car to the dealership at least 5 times complaining of the problem of this problem and each time they run some software which usually makes the situation worse or creates and additional problem. Not only is this a safey issue, but it has also created a loss of value for resale and untold hours of sitting in a showroom while the dealership is trying to fix what cannot be fixed. I have tried to work with ford customer service with no success.

Transmission slips. Shudders and shakes shifting into gear from a stop.
