Typical transmission symptoms owners report

  • Vehicles placed in park roll away on their own, sometimes rolling down a driveway or hill and striking another vehicle or object.
  • Some owners report the vehicle shifted into neutral accelerated on its own, leading to a crash.
  • Drivers describe sudden loss of propulsion or stalling at highway speed, in one case tied to a suspected flexplate failure affecting engine and transmission function.
  • Owners report the vehicle entering 'limp home mode' with shuddering or a shutdown feeling after accelerating from lower speeds, sometimes requiring a restart.
  • One complaint describes an unrelated engine stall accompanied by an 'accessories running' warning light shortly after the vehicle was put in park.

    Power train:shift linkage/cable/rod

    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

    Risk: A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S43.
