Lyrahaps

The issue has been SOLVED. Car was running fine for dealer once they got it charged up again (aaaargh) but after a lot of sleuthing it was chased down to a chafed wiring harness. The dealer's service Dept was great. They kept looking through service bulletins and checking them out until they found this one. Harness was replaced and relocated and car is again running great, just like it never had a stroke :). Repair was fully covered under hybrid parts warranty which was a good thing since I was 72 miles over the 36k standard warranty. Wouldn't hurst for any other 2014 Fusion Hybrid and Energi owners to have this harness checked out next time it is in for service, because I can tell you the issue was NOT pretty to see or deal with!

I wish it were something that simple. It's been hooked up to all sorts of diagnostics and they still haven't been able to get it running or get reports yet. It's in triage :(

Have had zero issues with car till last night. Got in car to leave event, pushed start button, engine started but it wouldn't shift out of park. Pushed ignition to turn off but it would not stop running. Tried several times. Noticed a plug shaped warning light on cluster never seen before. At one point a brief came on that car was plugged in, msg went off, never came back. Then interior lights started blinking crazily, car revved up and down, then it would go into sleep mode. Eventually all electronic controls inside stopped working. It continued to spasmodically start, stop, blink, rev, then over about an hour exterior lights gradually faded - at different rates. Tail lights put on a crazy Las Vegas style blink fest then finally died. Sounds terminal, anyone have ideas or had similar experience? Still waiting to hear from dealer service.
