I was actually sitting in drive at a red light and heard the clunking noise and saw the wrench symbol while my foot was on the break. I could not drive forward at that point. The car was sitting at a slight angle going up a small hill. Someone helped me put it in neutral and move it to the side. once I turned the car off and back on - the symbol was gone and the car went into drive. As I tried to go up the small hill again, it would not move forward. I’ve been able to drive the car around a parking lot without any issues, but I’ve been afraid to drive long distances. I’m going to try what you suggested.... thanks for your response ?

My 2016 Ford Fusion with 99,900k miles on it currently has a tranny issue. While at a red light(attempting to accelerate when turned green) my car made a clunking noise and would not shiftinto drive. A yellow wrench symbol showed up and I had to get it towed to the dealership. I figured later that once you turn the car off and back on it will drive - but only for a short while. The dealership advised that Gear 6 is “broken” in simple terms. So when the car automatically shiftsto that gear- I can’t move it. I have to get the transmission replaced, but, I’m wondering if I can use the select shift in order to keep the car from automatically shifting into Gear 6 ?? I found this YouTubevideoand thought I’d might give it a shot. What do you fellow Ford Owners think? I just need to drive it somewhere to park it. I’ve towed it 3 times in two weeks ?. Sidenote: I’m beyond irritatedwith the Ford Motor Company right now. They refuse to take responsibility for their crappie transmissions.

My 2016 Ford Fusion with 99,900k miles on it had a similar issue, however, while at a red light (attempting to accelerate when turned green) the car made a clunking noise and would not shift into drive. A wrench error message showed up and I had to get it towed to the dealership. I figured later that once you turn the car off and back on it will drive - but only for a short while. The dealership advices that Gear 6 is “broken” in simple terms. So when the car automatically shifts to that gear- I can’t move it. After a second opinion and all, I’m stuck having to replace the entire transmission. I know that this model has had many transmission issues/related recalls. I contacted Ford on twitter and they are refusing to take responsibility for their poorly built transmissions. I am out of warranty and forced to pay out of pocket Very disappointed ?
