Ford shifter cable bushing inspection - Edge, Fusion, Transit Connect, Escape, C-Max - Demonstrated

[jeffcompton]

Which recall number is that? Can that bushing be installed in the older trucks that the bushing in the cable always fails?

+1 on behalf of the single mom whose 2017 ford fusion that I fixed for $6 in about 30 mins in a burger king parking lot. thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This is what the internet was made for, sharing information just to help some random ppl out... Youtube Academy Class 2024

Thank you so much for this video. My 2019 Ford Fusion got this shift system fault error on August 27th, 2023. I called Ford and tried explaining the issue to a Ford service advisor over the phone, but he kept insisting that it's my transmission that has failed, and that I need to tow it in. Here's the other problem: The Ford dealership also won't be able to look at my car until end of October. I called three other Ford dealerships and they all didn't have any sooner appointment. So, I towed my car to the Ford dealership where it sat there, until I discovered your video three days ago (September 6th). I bought the bushing and the cover part for a total of $4.90 at the dealership that had my car, towed my car back home (luckily I have Emergency Road Service through Geico, so towing was covered), and it took me approximately 7 minutes to install. Ford needs to extend the recall to 2019 Ford Fusion as they still came with the old white flimsy bushing. Again, thank you very much for your help. ✌🏿

For anyone struggling to put this in. Someone commented to put the bushing in some warm water for a minute or so. This helped so much! All you gotta do is warm up a cup of hot water I put mine in the microwave for 2 minutes, after that I dropped the bushing in there and let it sit for 3 mins. After that I went to put it back in and sure enough it popped right in place.

After many years I been on the internet this video is very informative and I have to say thank you as I was stuck- I must add that if you are stuck in reverse or like I was parked but it said neutral you have to have the transmission lever to position P.
SO I had it in N car off I then lightly two clicks to the left or towards the front end and then it was in P then the part would fit on top aligned

When I see you next, I’ll see if there’s any recalls on my Lincoln & my brothers explorer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m so thankful for you in my life & I’ve learned way more than just checking my oil level & washer fluid. God bless you & your family. I’m always here for you too

I work for a dealership as a mobile tech mainly doing airbags for Chryslers & these little bastards lately. Always looking for tips and new ways to do things this was one of the better videos I've seen so thanks for that

You can fix it with two zip ties temporary. Run one through shift cable where the bushing goes leaving a little gap for the second to go through, run the second through the first one with the cable on the shift linkage, then wrap the second around the shift linkage and pull both zip ties tight. I ran like this on my car for three weeks until my replacement came in. Just recently put one on my nice’s car, until she could get it in to the dealership. Hope this helps, they seem to break at the worst time, keep a few zip ties in your vehicle just in case.

This morning is the THIRD time this year ive had an issue with this cap! Between watchin this video and the tow truck drivers im getting ready to go do this shit myself 😂😂😂

[jackramey]

This video saved my bacon! The part was only $1.94 at my local Ford house. I installed it today and it works perfectly. Thanks a million!

[tamicka]

Glad I found your page this happened to me while driving 2 weeks ago its after I make a u turn came out of reverse into drive starting rolling back wards. No one was hurt but very dangerous. Towed it to the dealer and there was 2 additional recalls. No more fords for me. Fusion 2013

[shaynemauer]

Thanks for this info! I just had the same error Saturday and I was freaking out until I saw this. I pulled the air box off my 2020 Fusion and guess what? Shift arm bushing disintegrated. Replaced it today with the help of your video. Saved me a tow bill and labor. Fixed it myself for $4.38. Parts guy told me to buy 2 and keep one in my glove compartment😂. So i did...

Just happend to me this morning on a weekend and my local dealership is closed, went to local parts store and they had a Dorman Bushing Kit Part#14057 ($20 tax incl.) and it was a perfect fit, worked like a charm. Thanks for this, install process was pretty much the same.

[MarkPalmer]

1:55 is the moment I'm sure we'll all experience, at least once! Thanks for the video, I am going to check mine.

[lloydweems]

Good information Rich. I have been keeping an eye on mine, no problems so far; but I just receive Safety Recall Notice 22S43/NHTSA Recall 22V413. It basically instructs me that when parts are available, we will let you know. As for now set your parking brake when you shift into park and see that the instrument cluster shows a park position. Thanks for the heads up, before Ford let me know.

[squee]

Getting this done on my Fusion in 2 days. Glad to see what they are doing on the car. Thanks

[wilsontorrealba]

I was away from home 2 hours had no idea what was going on with the car until I seen this video !! It literally save me 😭

[MarxzTRD]

Had to get my car towed because this happened to me, the labor cost me more than the parts lol. Wish i coulda seen this video before. Such an easy fix
