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 shift into 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 shifts to 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 YouTube video and 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 irritated with the Ford Motor Company right now. They refuse to take responsibility for their crappie transmissions.

My warranty is coming up for 36,000 miles (currently at 31k). My local Ford is awful. Seems like their maintenance guys are as clueless as the ones that check me into my appointment. About a year and a half ago, I reported a problem of my car "jumping" when accelerating after a full stop. The car is an automatic, and the "jump" felt almost like the car was struggling to switch into the 1st (or would it be 2nd) gear. Ford kept it for 2-days only to inform me that they found nothing. I'm beginning to feel the issue is getting worse, and it's most noticeable when using cruise control - which is often. For example - I'll be driving on the parkway, set my cruise control to 65mph, and if a downhill portion of the road is approaching, my car will actually strain to hold the car at 65mph. It's almost like a revving sound from the hood, but with the opposite goal in mind. I once owned a Honda with cruise control, and it held the car at 65mph on declines with no ridiculous noises. I feel like the automatic gears aren't switching properly, and with my Fusion being so close to warranty, I can envision these inept Ford employees finding some excuse to pass on doing their job. (slightly bitter?) I am not car savvy, and my explanation of the problem is probably not the best. I need to get this looked into ASAP, and I'm not even sure how to convey what's going on. Does anyone have any advice as to what may be the issue? Or may be becoming the issue? Perhaps any advice on where to take the car for a real analysis? Thanks!
