Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:BEARINGS/BUSHINGS filed June 2, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1750231 (ODI reference 11419384) concerns a 2013 FORD FUSION and was filed on June 2, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 1, 2021. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:automatic transmission:internal:bearings/bushings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD FUSION cohort independently describe similar power train:automatic transmission:internal:bearings/bushings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 FORD FUSION shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The transmission shifter was in the âParkâ position, but my dashboard highlighted the âReverseâ position. Using the Shift-Brake Interlock, I attempted to remedy the problem and now my dashboard reads in the âSportâ position while the shifter can move freely. Luckily I had just gotten off work and parked in my spot at home. No injuries or damage other than the aforementioned transmission issue.
