webibeay Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Folks - I have a 2014 Titanium FWD with approximately 12k on the odometer. Owned it nearly 18 mos without a single issue or regret - and unlike many of the complaints my gas mileage has been fantastic, averaging ~34mpg highway and ~26 city. Over the last few months, though, I've noticed that the transmission has started shifting really hard. It doesn't appear to be slamming or slipping however you can feel a jolt each time it goes into/out of gear. More so I've found in the 3-4 shift and sometimes on other gears. It doesn't appear to be limited to when the transmission is cold/warm or anything else. I have an 04 Jeep Liberty that shifts smoother if that tells you something!!!! I made an appointment at my dealer to get the steering bolt taken care of in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone else had come across this as well as if there were any thoughts on what to expect with the dealer since I did tell them and they are supposed to take a look Thanks in advance - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy to check into some additional assistance; what's your mileage? Meagan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitaniumJustin Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 What was the repair? My '14 Titanium shifts hard from 1-2 and I'm curious as to what the cause is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webibeay Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 There was no fix, took it the dealer who told me there was nothing wrong and it's "normal". Still doing it and clunking... Just waiting for it to go out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You have the 2.0 Ecoboost engine in your Fusion? Have you checked the TSBs that might apply? I assumed they checked the PCM for codes? http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/Tsb/Results?Year=2014&Make=54&Model=2816 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webibeay Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 They simply checked the fluid and told me they all do that - Car will be paid off in June, with only 24,000 miles on it, not sure If I'm going to keep it. Miss my '12 Sport.... wish I still had it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You should try another dealership? Care to name who you are dealing with? I want to look up reviews on them. The 6F35 transmission is well known for issues, sometimes even this early. Here is a list of Ford/Lincoln shops that may be of assistance to you: http://www.dealerrater.com/directory/02809/Service-Center/Lincoln/ BTW, I would also check the state of the car battery, it may be in weak health, which can contribute to the appearance of engine/transmission problems. Even if the car is garaged. Any aftermarket equipment like alarms/stereo systems, do you leave anything plugged into the power points? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
