I WAS AT A RESTERAUNT DRIVE THROUGH WINDO, PLACED MY CAR IN PARK. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE BY THE GEAR BUT THE DASH SHOWED THAT IT WAS STILL IN PARK. THE GEAR WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITH EASE BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING ON DASH THE CAR EVEN THOUGH I HAD PLACED IT IN DRIVE IT WAS OBVIOUSLY STILL IN PARK. I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE DRIVE THROUGH AND IT HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN UNTIL I COULD GET A TOW. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS SO I AM DRIVING MY GRANDMOTHERS CAR I HEARD OF A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES ABOUT A WEEK LATER WITH 2013 FORD FUSIONS BUT THE FORD SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

NHTSA ODI 11115488

I DROVE FROM MY HOUSE TO THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS ABOUT 3.8 MILES. I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER A ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO, I STARTED HEARING A WEIRD FAINT NOISE. I LOOKED AROUND THINKING IT WAS MAYBE A CAR NEAR ME, AND I SAW SMOKE STARTING TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THANKFULLY THE REST STOP WAS LESS THAN HALE A MILE AWAY. I GOT TO THE REST STOP, PARKED THE CAR AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM THE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. I HAD JUST FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE, SO I MADE SURE TO KEEP MY DISTANCE WHILE WAITING FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE. THE FRONT OF THE CAR QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE WHOLE CAR DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD LAST OCTOBER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS TAKEN CARED OF. I HAD CALLED FORD, BUT THEY STATE THE RECALL WOULD NOT CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE, SO THEY WILL NOT OWN UP TO IT. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR, SO THERE'S NO REASON THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME, I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THIS IS SOMETHING FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHO MAY END UP GETTING INJURED SEVERELY FROM IT. LET'S PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING

ON 07/30/18 I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT IN MY WORK PARKING LOT AND PUT MY CAR SHIFTER IN PARK. WHEN I LET MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE THINKING MY CAR WAS IN PARK IT MOVED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME! I LOOKED AT MY CAR DASH IT SAID THE CAR WASN'T IN PARK LIKE THE SHIFT WAS BUT MOVED INTO "S"! I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT MY SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK. I CALLED MY WORK SECURITY AND A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS THEN TOLD TO PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND TO TURN THE CAR OFF. BUT NOW MY CAR IS STUCK IN A DRIVE MODE AND THE SHIFTER IN PARK. FORD JUST RECALLED 2013 FORD FUSIONS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE WITH SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS BUT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SAYING THAT MY CAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATES! BUT WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE RECALL FACILITY AT HERMOSILLO. SO NOW I'M LEFT WITHOUT A CAR AND NO HELP FROM FORD! *TT

MY 74YR OLD MOM HIT A 1 FOOT TALL CONCRETE BARRIER (PICTURE ATTACHED) AT A COUNTY RURAL RECYCLING CENTER RESULTING IN ALL 4 AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. BARRIER ISN'T PAINTED, NO FENCE, NO RAILING OR POLE TO MARK IT. MINOR DAMAGE (PHOTO ATTACHED) TO THE AUTO, BOSCH RECORDER SHOWS <15 MPH (FILE TOO LARGE TO ATTACH). CAR IS IN A STORAGE UNIT IN IOWA FOR EVIDENCE. MOM'S PROGNOSIS WAS SUBDURAL HEMATOMA, ENCEPHALOPATHY AND UNCAL HERNIATION RESULTING IN HER DEATH (SEE ATTACHED). MEDICAL EXAMINER DETERMINED CAUSE OF DEATH WAS THE CAR ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION TO THE ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS, MY STEP-DAD (84 YEARS OLD) WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ALSO WAS HIT BY AIRBAGS. WHILE THE AIRBAGS SAVED HIM, HE WAS QUITE BRUISED/INJURED. EMERGENCY RESPONSE WAS NOT REQUESTED. WE (MY FAMILY) BELIEVE THAT CONSIDERING THE AGE OF OUR PARENTS AND THE FACT MY MOM WAS HIT IN THE SIDE OF THE FACE - MORE CAUTION (STATE LAW REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION) SHOULD BE EXERTED BY ALL POLICE OFFICERS IN THIS SITUATION (POLICE REPORT ATTACHED). WE TAKE ALL KINDS OF PRECAUTIONS WITH KIDS ON THE SPORTS FIELDS, WHY NOT THE ELDERLY? MY MOM WAS OBVIOUSLY SUFFERING FROM CONFUSION AND CONCUSSION. TRAGICALLY, WE LOST HER TO A SAFETY FEATURE. UNCOMPREHENSIBLE. *BF *TT

MY 2013 FORD FUSION IS EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE WINDOW CONTROLS. I HAVE LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE 'FRONT CONTROL INTERFACE MODULE', 'DOOR CONTROL MODULE A', AND 'DOOR CONTROL MODULE B'. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY ECM DISPLAYS THE FOLLOWING CODES, P193E: A/C CLUTCH REQUEST SIGNAL, U0199: LOST COMMUNICATION WITH DOOR CONTROL MODULE A, U0200: LOST COMMUNICATION WITH DOOR CONTROL MODULE B, AND U0256: LOST COMMUNICATIONS FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE. THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION AND WHEN MY CAR IS STATIONARY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY CAR AND SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING. TO BE CLEAR, I HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING, NO VENTILATION, AND I CAN NOT ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS TOWARDS 90 OR MORE DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THIS MEANS THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE CARE GETS TO BE VERY HOT. IN MY EXPERIENCE, THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND THEN RECONNECT THEM BUT THIS ONLY OFFERS A TEMPORARY FIX TO THE PROBLEM.

I SHUT OF MY CAR ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, WENT IN TO RESTART AND THE IGNITION MADE NO SOUND AT ALL. THE CAR WAS IN PARK BUT THE DASH SHOWED THAT IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE ALARM WAS ALSO TELLING ME IT WAS NOT IN PARK. THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT IN PARK AND COULD EASILY BE MOVED BY A PUSH. I PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO FORD AND REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I HEARD OF A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES WITH 2013 FORD FUSIONS BUT THE SERVICE CENTER SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I FEEL THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN THEY THOUGHT AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY.
