“Hello everyone. I have a 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid titanium edition. I've gone to the same dealer that I purchased it from for all oil changes and service and tires. I have 152,000 miles on that car which is 2 1/2 years old. Yes it's a lot but it's my commute car. I drive 160 miles a day for work. Last weekend my hubby pointed out a noise. I thought alignment. But the noise sounded like rear wheel bearings that failed. Even the dealership agreed. They change them. But it didn't help with the noise. And now they're telling me I need a brand new transmission on my hybrid. …”

The service manager at don wood Ford in athens, ohio took a test drive with me at the request of Ford corporate hq and I replicated the event 2x for him. Ford states that they have no record of similar incidents and want to replace my ignition. …”
