2016 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V695000 (Back Over Prevention). While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started running rough. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who retrieved DTC: P0302 (Misfire in Cylinder #2). The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic, who retrieved the same code and informed the contact that cylinder #2 ignition coil and spark plug needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. While driving, there was white smoke coming from the tailpipe, but the vehicle was still running rough. The engine overheated, and the contact pulled over and added additional fluids to the engine. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact obtained an extended warranty, but the claim was denied due to not meeting the mileage requirements. While driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.

Mileage: 138,000

My vehicle has the Ford EcoBoost 2.0 liter engine in it that has been recalled on thousands of vehicles. My car currently has the same issue which is a coolant intrusion that has been recognized and was a class action lawsuit against Ford for this issue. I have been advised by a local Ford dealership that my engine should be part of the recall and Ford should be replacing my engine. However, when I called Ford, they are advising there is nothing they can do, because there is no current recall for my vehicles VIN and so I am trying to reach out and see if there's anything that can be done before hiring an attorney, because as a single mother I cannot afford $12,000 out of my pocket with hopes that eventually Ford will do the recall properly and reimburse me as they have stated "could happen". This is a known issue this engine of mine has been looked at by three mechanics one being a Ford dealership to confirm that this engine was in fact warped from the factory which is causing my coolant to seep into the heads or whatever and I need the long block replacement that the original recall fell under which was somewhere around the 50,000 mark of these vehicles recalled. The engine is needing to be repaired and taken care of so I'm seeking direction on how to possibly get Ford to take care of this issue that I should not be having to deal with due to a manufacturing defect since leaving off the factory floor

The engine light intermittently went off and on for a few weeks. During that time, the car would surge and slow/loose power while driving it, which was distracting when in traffic. The dealership found that coolant had leaked into the engine block and we were informed the engine had to be replaced. I talked to 2 dealerships and they both said this was something they had seen a lot - and while the engine for the Ford Escape was recalled, the same engine was not recalled for the Ford Fusion.

The contact owned a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from underneath the hood. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic, where the engine gasket was replaced, and the vehicle was diagnosed with a warped engine block. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that there was a coolant intrusion leak and an engine overheating failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Coolant Intrusion

Engine block needed replaced due to coolant intrusion. Started off with an engine light for misfire then started using coolant to smoking on start up then eventually hydrolocking the engine for a no start condition making car undriveable. Diagnosed at dealer for coolant intrusion with only fix of a new block at a cost around $10,000.

I have a Coolant intrusion for my car it is supposed to be recalled and serviced under warranty or the Csp

The 1.5l engine is having known issues with coolant intrusion into the engine under 100,000 miles. Many people are bringing up their issues staying ford is confirming the mass amount of engine issues with intrusion and quoting $6,000 for new engines. This is absurd because these vehicles should not have an engine known to fail at 100,000 because of leaking coolant into the cylinder. I started losing coolant at 90,000 miles and having to fill it back up.

Had head gasket done at 78600 for misfire in cylinder 4 for coolant intrusion 11000 miles later I have misfire in cylinder 4 again with coolant intrusion

My complaint is, why does my 2016 Ford Fusion 1.5L 4-Cylinder EcoBoost Engine continue to be excluded from these major recalls? It's not fair as I deserve to have my engine, clock spring, & my rear view camera replaced just like the other Ford vehicles! I purchased my 2016 Fusion in 2018 & only a couple of years later I started having problems with the rear view camera but the dealership said that it wasn't covered under the warranty. I have always smelled engine coolant & oil but was always told that there is nothing leaking on the ground so there's nothing to worry about. Also I reached out to you guys in 2024 with the Gmail address of [XXX] ) about my steering wheel clock spring & never heard anything back, so I purchased a new one on [XXX] & replaced it myself when it arrived. Also earlier that day, I had my valve cover replaced at Brad Howell Ford in Kokomo, IN because I have been constantly losing oil & smelling oil burning. Even after that, I continued to smell oil & engine coolant but still get told that there's nothing leaking. Well my next oil change after that, I told them to check again because I had to add more oil, & that's when they determined that it was the turbo drain tube, which they replaced on Nov.5, 2024. That stopped the oil smell, but I continued to smell engine coolant which I continued to report to them, & at each oil change, they continued to top off the engine coolant. On Aug. 12, 2025 Brad Howell Ford decided to run a camera down into my cylinders & discovered that there's oil & coolant leaking down into my #2 cylinder. I contacted Tonia Frataccia, Customer Experience Specialist, Ford CX/Team, & I was told that my VIN# didn't make the recall list & that's why my engine wasn't replaced. It's not fair as my vehicle has the same defective engine & parts as the other recall vehicles & I deserve to have my car repaired also at Fords expense. Please help me, I need my car. Thank you for listening. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Technical bulletins and recalls checked noted multiple forums with coolant induction issues due to poor design of ecoboost engines by FORD. Still owe $10k on this car FORD should be responsible for all manufactured years with issues due to ecoboost. Unable to find anything for 2016 Fusion 2.0. Please Help!

My coolants been leaking starting at around 110k miles and it seems like the 2016 ford fusions with 1.6L are know to have coolant intrusions due to a defect in engineering by Ford. This problem eventually leads to corroded head gaskets and can cause the engine to basically explode in the middle of nowhere which is a safety concern. The costs of repair is over 4k+ for a new engine or just to replace the head gasket for something Ford engineers should be liable for. Please look into this and you may even look at my car if you like.

The coolant was leaking i to the engine and caused a crack in the block leading to the need to replace the engine

Dear NHTSA, I am reporting a potential safety and design issue related to my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle is experiencing coolant loss with no visible external leak, which is a documented issue under Ford TSB 19-2208. This condition can lead to sudden engine failure or hydrolock due to coolant entering the combustion chamber. A compression test revealed all cylinders at 155 psi, indicating the block has not yet failed — but the symptoms are known warning signs of the defect Ford acknowledged in its Customer Satisfaction Program 19N05, which does not include my VIN despite identical failure risk. Ford has refused to provide goodwill support under case [XXX], despite this being a well-known failure that has prompted engine replacements in other affected 2.0L EcoBoost models. Please document this case as part of your ongoing safety tracking. I believe this design flaw represents a serious long-term reliability and safety concern. Vehicle: 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium Engine: 2.0L EcoBoost Mileage at Onset: 130,000 approx. VIN: [XXX] Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car is hard crank when put fuel in it. It also puffed out blue smoke.My check engine light is on.

The engine coolant over temperature light came on and i was forced to pull off the side of the interstate because the car had lost most of it’s power. It’s my understanding the 1.5 L eco boist engines have a failure where they allow coolant to leak into the cylinder. We had the car looked at, let it cool down and the code cleared and drove home. This happened again and luckily we were close to a family members home and were able to limp the car there with very little power. The car was checked by a mechanic and they could not find a problem. The code was cleared and it drove fine again. Today the car did the same thing after a 30 minute drive and luckily we were close to home and once again limped it back to the house. I will be calling Ford in the morning to have it looked at.

My engine died from the design error with the engine block and coolant leaking. This needs to be remedied by Ford. It is not on the recall list, and it absolutely should be.

Coolant intrusion 1.5l

Coolant intrusion into cylinder 1, low coolant and Engine DTC P0301. Multiple TSB's by Ford recommend engine replacement as a remedy for the Cylinder head - open deck cooling problem. Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 addresses this problem in similar cars/engines. Has this been expanded to cover this vehicle with the same 2.0L engine? From Ford TSB 19-2346 "Issue: Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the long block engine assembly."

My 2016 Ford Fusion SE 2.0L Turbo has been emitting some white smoke, then the other day it would not start right away. When started it ran rough for a few minutes on idle and when driving it does not have much power anymore and it would hesitate a lot if trying to accelerate. SO getting on the interstate that morning I nearly got rear ended by a semi-truck because I could not accelerate up to speed. The check engine light came on shortly and I took it to a mechanic who did tests to diagnose. The diagnostic showed misfiring in cylinder 2 most likely due to coolant intrusion. After doing some research it was evident that many owners have had this happen and had to replace their entire engine for 6000+ dollars. My car only has 114,000 miles on it and it should function properly. I have seen cars with 250,000+ miles easily.

engine light turned and, scanned it and code is P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire detected. Coolant is leaking into the engine. I have looked online and multiple people have had this issue, majority of them taking their vehicles to Ford dealers and being told they need an engine replacement. I have taken my vehicle to a mechanic shop and was told the same thing. my safety was at risk because this issue caused my engine to overheat and the engine would not turn on for a while after. with coolant being mixed in with the oil, it damages the engine and can cause the car to stop being functional while you are still operating it. I am also including a link to a website that has proof that Ford delearships have seen this issue before, are aware of it but do nothing to fix it [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Ford has a recall on 2016 Ford Fusion transmission cable shifter. My car is not under the recall but displays the issues the recall states. My car jerks during acceleration and difficult to park. Can please help me resolve the issue with Ford. They refuse to fix the issue because my car VIN# was not placed under the recall. It is not fair for me to pay for an mechanical issue that was defective by Ford causation.

Coolant intrusion causing engine failure per diagnostic TSB 22-2134 applies.

Started car and out of nowhere it began sputtering. Then Engine light came on and when tested the diagnostic said “cylinder 2 misfire. I didnt drive anywhere and light was off today when I crank it. well started driving and light is flashing. Ford dealership said this is a common issue from poor design engine but my car only has 40,000 miles. This seems to happen to ALOT of the 2016 eco models. Says coolant goes into engine. I’m aware most of these models have recalls but not 2016 why!!!!! It’s clearly a faulty engine problem if so many people are having the exact problem and code.

My 2016 Ford Fusion 1.5L EcoBoost has developed Fords known Coolant intrusion into the head gasket and block issue. I’m currently experiencing dangerous misfires, violent shaking, with EVAP/O2 codes (not sure if related). I got it towed and received diagnosis and the car will be needing a new engine. 124K miles on vehicle at the time. We demand immediate NHTSA investigation and a Ford recall.

My engine is misfiring and now i have to replace my engine.

Engine has total failure due to coolant in cylinder 2. Ford is horrible

Coolant leak caused head gasket and block damage. No warning lights ever on to indicate issue. Car simply wound not start one morning. Was towed and received diagnosis of needing new engine. 57K miles on vehicle.

I had an oil change and drove the car for a week no leaks in my driveway. Then a week later at 6am driving in traffic the red engine light comes on, the car slows down, I pull over and turn the car off. It would not turn back on. I had to have it towed and now I’m told I need an engine. How? The car has been maintained and I didn’t hit anything or run over anything. The oil pan is in tack. This could have been serious as I work over night.This needs to be a recall on the 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD 2.0 eco boost.

FORD ALREADY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ENGINES IN THE SE ECOBOOST,, THERE IS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3.INSTEAD OF THEM RECALLING ALL OF THOSE ENGINES THEY ONLY RECALLED A FEW PUTTING EVERY ONE ELSE SAFTY AT RISK .PLEASE HAVE THEM RECALL MY ENGINE . THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE LOCAL FORD SINCE LAST YEAR TO CHECK ON RECALLS FOR THIS ENGINE.

The vehicle started jerking and failed to exceed 60 MPH. The vehicle jerked and then failed to exceed 40 MPH. After refueling, the vehicle was slow to start. The contact had to pump the accelerator pedal for the vehicle to start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who retrieved DTC: P02, P0087, P0131, P0302, and P1450. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle would not pass State inspection. The local dealer was contacted, who confirmed an unrepaired recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was unknown.

I take good care of the car, went in for a check up with engine light on, said I needed new spark plugs, they replaced those. Then it didn’t go off, so then brought it to a master mechanic and he said I have a coolant intrusion and need a new engine. This happened out of nowhere.

Car has white smoke coming from exhaust smells sweet. Coolant continues to be low, even after filling up check engine light for misfire. This is due to coolant intrusion common with the 1.5 L engines on the fusion. There was a recall for the 2017 but mines a 2016 and has the same issues. This is an ongoing issue with this car. There is a This is an ongoing issue with this car. There is a class action lawsuit and it’s been acknowledged by Ford that this is an issue

The car apparently leaked coolant into the engine was given an estimate of $9425.09 to replace the long block assembly. Apparently this is a no issue from Ford Motor Company. I did write a letter to Ford as well as spoke to someone on the phone. He acknowledged that this was unknown issue and that they were in no position to do anything financially to help.

I have an engine coolant intrusion so my car is misfiring

The transmission failed suddenly. To my understanding there have been reported issues with the transmissions for this vehicle having sudden failures without warning. My car slipped out of gear while driving 60mph. I have had the car towed and checked by a certified mechanic who confirmed that the transmission has failed, and its poorly built. My mechanic used to be a mechanic for FORD and is familiar with the poor build quality of the engine, transmission and turbo. I have not had the component inspected by anyone else. There were no symptoms or warning lights before this failure. The car was driving fine and then, the transmission slipped and failed.

I believe this car falls under the coolant leak recall that is still under investigation. The car started losing coolant and had white smoke coming from exhaust. I believe the coolant channels have cracked and caused the leak. It needs a new motor to be drivable again. I have been waiting for the recall to cover my vin. The recall currently covers similar vehicles.

Kept getting a misfire on cylinder 2 after ford preformed a “recall” on the power train control system well the car now has coolant leaking into the number two cylinder causing it to shake violently and complete loss of power luckily my wife was able to pull safely off the roadway with my [XXX] son present before losing control and having an accident INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The canister purge valve in this vehicle repeatedly goes bad. I had a 2015 and now 2016 both with the same issue. It throws the check engine light on and will just about die everytime putting gas into the car or when stopped for random periods of time. The vehicle uses more gas and you can literally smell the fumes escaping from the flapping gas tank lid. In order to start the car you have to pump the gas petal and occasionally the car will stall out while driving.

Engine failed while driving on the highway due to a known defect with a coolant leak into the engine. My safety, and the passengers that were in the auto were put into danger when the engine malfunctioned due to the fact that we were on the highway, traveling at 65-70 mph, when the car suddenly started shaking, emitting white smoke from the exhaust and eventually stalling and not drive able. The only indicator that came on was the check engine light. There was no low coolant light to indicate that the auto was low or leaking coolant. There was no messages or codes to indicate a low coolant level in the car. The vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by my a certified mechanic.

I have a 2016 Fusion SE w/ 1.5 ecoboost. I have to check and add coolant every time it's driven. It shows cylinder 2 misfire. It loses power and runs very rough. The check engine light turns on and will turn off without being reset. It might stay off a day or two but then turns back on. While driving down the highway last Friday it started chugging and jerking and i lost power making it difficult to steer. The safety issue I see is the sudden loss of power while driving 55 with cars behind me and also coming at me. My check engine light turned on and was flashing as this happened. Ive never seen it flash before. I had it to a mechanic about a year ago because the check engine light. This is when i was informed about the tsb regarding the coolant issue.

I was driving the vehicle couple of weeks ago and I began to notice that I did not have any power when pressing on the brake and that the engine was beginning to buckle I came to a stop and it continued to run very roughly I had trouble driving a half mile home when I got into driveway a great deal of white smoke was coming out of the back of it vehicle I was able to restart it the next day but the same thing happened I took it to my mechanic and he confirmed that the engine is having radiator fluid leaked into the cylinders which is a very common problem I find what the echo engines at Ford produced for this vehicle and others when my mechanic called a Ford expert he was told that it's just best to replace the engine since the repairing the present damage doesn't work.

1.5 turbo engine is having a coolant intrusion. had miss fire code and all systems of the recall/service bulletin 22-2134 and was not included in a recall. available to be looked at risk of engine failure diagnosis was done at a independent shop has not been looked at by manufacture started about 4 months ago had a few codes including engine miss fire but replace several components plugs, coils and fuel injectors. had to top off coolant. engine light would come on interment. and engine would run rough but will turn off

The contact's mother owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his mother was driving 45 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 5 MPH. The low coolant warning light was illuminated. The contact's mother pulled over and parked the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the cylinders, and it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 21-2269 (Low Coolant, White Exhaust Smoke, And/or Illuminated MIL); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Coolant leaking into engine

The engine failed as coolant leaked into cylinder 3 causing a misfire/malfunction. The check engine light came on intermittently along with an alert that said the coolant was over temperature, a week prior to the failure. I then took the vehicle into Tires Plus on Merle Hay Road in Des Moines Iowa where they did a full fuel system check and replaced the spark plug. At the time of taking it in, the warning lights mentioned above were not on. 3 days later the check engine light came on and wouldn’t go off. The other warning light was still popping up intermittently. I then scheduled another appointment with tires plus to check out the car again. Unfortunately 4 days later I was driving the vehicle and all of the sudden the vehicle wouldn’t accelerate properly. The engine was failing. I had the vehicle towed to West Side Auto Pros in Clive, Iowa where they determined that coolant had leaked into the engine. There is already a recall out for the ford fusion eco boost engine of my year. I am just looking to get it extended to my engine type as I do not have the eco boost. I have not had the vehicle inspected by a ford dealership but am happy to have it towed over there if it means that I can get a new engine. My safety was at risk because I was in the interstate when the engine began to fail. I barely made it off the interstate, and into a parking lot. I was at a severe risk of getting hit thanks to the bad engine.

There is a very common problem with the fusions on coolant intruding into the engine. This problem needs to get fixed as it is a Ford problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that on two occasions while the vehicle was parked, the check engine, ABS, parking brake, traction on/off, and power train warning lights illuminated. Additionally, the steering wheel became firm. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electronic power steering module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 165,000.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which I purchased in late June 2024. Despite the ongoing issues with my vehicle, it does not appear on the NHTSA recall list, even though many other Ford owners are experiencing similar problems. Recently, I encountered severe symptoms, including a persistent coolant leak and a puff of white smoke from the tailpipe. Initially, the dealership diagnosed the issue as a simple battery problem related to a cylinder 4 misfire. Following their advice, I spent nearly $500 on a new battery and diagnostic fees. Unfortunately, after driving the car, the engine light reappeared, indicating that the initial diagnosis was insufficient. Upon further inspection, the technician found a puddle of coolant on top of piston 4, which suggests a significant internal problem. This situation mirrors complaints from other Ford owners regarding their EcoBoost engines, even though my hybrid engine is not classified as EcoBoost. I am concerned about the lack of action regarding these issues, especially since they pose serious safety risks. Additionally, I have been informed by Ford that an engine tear-down is necessary to diagnose the full extent of the problem. If deemed not covered under my warranty, I will be responsible for $1,710 for the tear-down alone, with an estimated cost of around $11,000 for a new engine. As a college student with limited income from a part-time job, I cannot afford these expenses. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter and consider the broader implications for all affected Ford vehicles. I look forward to your prompt response. These unresolved issues not only threaten my safety but also potentially endanger others on the road. My repeated attempts to seek support from Ford have been met with inadequate responses, leaving me frustrated and without a clear path forward. I urge the NHTSA to investigate my case and consider a broader review of similar Ford vehicles

Engine replaced under recall in 2021 due to coolant intrusion issue. Replaced with similar faulty engine. This is a possible fire hazard. Ford will do NOTHING. It's unacceptable that an 8 year-old car needs a third engine. Worst service EVER. Putting my daughter's life at risk

Engine started to misfire at 70k miles, took to a shop and had to get an engine replaced. As a college student, a $7,000 bill put me behind in school. This is a common issue on the 1.5 and 2.0 ecoboost engine and Ford knows it's a problem, hints the engine redesign in 2019.

Ford has multiple bulletins for 2016 Fusion - EcoBoost Engine. Ford dealer did not address any of the issues upon numerous service visits. Despite engine light being on. Suffered catastrophic failure of engine resulting in loss of power while driving.

The car locked in Neutral but the gear shift is locked in Park. The bushel broke, which was a recall on my make and model but does not show when I search for recalls on my vehicle.

According to the Ford dealership, I am missing a piece of a gasket which is causing coolant issues. I was told that there was a flaw with the engine design on my vehicle wherein instead of repairing/replacing the gasket, an entire engine is needed- making my vehicle a total loss now. When questioned if this was the result of anything I did or could have prevented, I was informed that this was not anything I caused or could be avoided as Ford created a faulty engine design.

I have a coolant intrusion on cylinder number three. It is a Ford defect. It should be Under recall

Had a coolant leak which further damaged my whole engine. i need a new one now after only having my car for 2 years.

Engine failure, water intrusion, they issued a recall for 2013 - 2018 1.5l and 2.0l, but not my vehicle. It's doing what they recalled. I have a appointment to get checked out and have recalls completed. There is a lot of people with this issue and no recall for their vehicle.

Internal coolant leak in cylinders.

I was driving on the interstate when smoke started from the rear of my car and the engine started sputtering. the vehicle started to slow down in heavy traffic. I was caught in the traffic and could not get off the road, the temperature gauge suddenly moved to the red on the gauge and I could not see the back of my vehicle making it dangerous to pull off the interstate. II had my grandsons with me making this worse. I had the car towed to my fathers garage where he then did a compression test on all four cylinders and found #4 cylinder to be very low reading compared to the other 3 cylinders as well as a pressure test of the radiator which showed a large leak off. I had no warning or messages when this happened

2016 Fusion Titanium has the 2.0L Ecoboost engine with the coolant intrusion issue. This is a known issue with both Ford and the NHTSA, but after being diagnosed by a ford dealership, Ford Motor Co. will not provide any assist because it is not listed on any TSB or does not have an active recall. The models that are listed are the Edge, Focus, MKZ, and the Fusion, but Fusion models start at 2017 on the TSB. This is not accurate information because the exact same engine that is used in the Focus/Edge models and year range is used in the 2016 Fusion.

There is a " design flaw" with the vehicle where coolant leaks into the cylinder heads and you have to replace the whole engine. I have read about it in the Internet when my check engine light came on and gave me cylinder 2 misfire code.I started the car and the check engine light was off. I tried to get to work that morning and the car shut off on the middle of Interstate 81 with no warning. It was a very dangerous situation where I got stuck until it came to a complete stop and turn it back on. White smoke poured out of the tail pipe, I went home. I spoke with a Ford representative who said it is a design flaw in this engine and the whole thing needs to be replaced, with engines starting at $5,000 plus 4 days labor. He advised that the problem could happen again with the replacement. I know there is nothing you guys can do but my car died in 2 days.i have a $20,000 to pay off and only had this car a year and I am going to have to give it back and keep paying for it, for 5* years. I feel so upset and cannot believe Ford is doing this to people and getting away with it. This ruined my life and I will probably lose my job now cause I have no means of transportation. This needs to be recalled! It's not right

Coolant leaked into a cylinder due to a failed head gasket at 61,000 miles. Ford replaced head gasket, but the issue is due to poorly manufactured engine, and I had the same issue starting again at 99,000 miles. Ford refuses to fix engine since it is out of warranty, but the issue is due to poor manufacturing, not customer negligence.

Component failure: Engine -- Catastrophic engine failure due to coolant leakage onto the engine block. EcoBoost engine. Dealership confirmation that car engine will need full replacement - car essentially scrap metal without new engine. At the time of this failure car had approximately 40,000 miles odometer read total on it and maintenance was up to date. Personal safety - I was driving the car on a Freeway with other vehicles at approximately 65 mph and the entire car began to shudder and I lost the ability to accelerate. The road was on an uphill trajectory and I was in the middle lane - I had to navigate my vehicle to the right hand lane and off the freeway at the next exit - I and others were at high risk of a collision due to the severity and sudden failure of the engine while on a busy road. Dealer confirmation: Dealership had specific codes on the diagnostics decribing this issue. Repair offered was replacement of the long block with a Ford engine that had been modified to fix the coolant leakage problem. Essentially Ford was offering a new TYPE of engine instead of a fix with the same model the car originally had. Dealership was aware of this engine coolant issue with Ecoboost, they revealed Ford was aware of the issue but never issued a recall. We were given the customer complaint line and were told FORD has been offering SOME people new engines at no cost. We were rejected by Ford customer line and told to file a complaint here. Essentially described by dealership repair as need to replace the long block (entire engine) to fix the problem or replace the short block only to expect it to happen again. The cost to replace the long block was quoted at 9500.00. Inspection and repair worksheets available from owner. Warning signs: NONE. Check engine light came on approximately 30 seconds AFTER symptoms on freeway began.

My car has about 120k miles on it. The issue is that the coolant leakes into the cylinders. Tried replacing cylinders but problem came back. Dealership says the engine needs repair. The safety issue I had was I was driving on the hwy at about 60. The car suddenly went from 60 to 30. If a car had been behind me I would have been hurt. The manufacturer ford will not pay. I have seen many of this exact same issues on your website. This IS a safety issue. What can you do?

My ecoboost Ford Engine in my 2016 Fusion leaks coolant into my 1, 3 and 4 cylinders, over heated, smoke coming out of exhaust, using coolant. I took it to the Ford dealer to have it checked out when all of a sudden while driving the red temp light went off and my check engine light started blinking with a warning light saying critical temperature and I had to pull off side of highway, they said it needs a new motor, he also said it was common for this size engine to have issues, Ford had been dealing with that it was a design flaw............yet they won't fix it free or recall it. they want $8500 for a new engine, which I can't afford, so a car I own and owe on just sits undriveable. He said they offered an extended warranty to replace the short block on 2017 -2019 but mine is 2016 so no extra help was given to people who owned that year, even though its the same engine, flaws and all.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine coolant over temperature warning light illuminated. The contact stopped the vehicle and checked the coolant level. The contact stated that the coolant level was sufficient. The contact proceeded to drive the vehicle to the intended destination. The contact stated that when the speed increased above 20 MPH, the vehicle jerked violently. The engine overheated and then seized. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with engine failure due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

Coolant leaking into engine, causing low engine coolant levels, and affecting performance. Ongoing problem for a while, officially diagnosed on 6/21/2024.

I started the vehicle and smelled ash. As I drove away from home at very low speed in my neighborhood, I started to notice white smoke which gradually increased. I immediately parked the car. There was no signs of leaks under the vehicle (but it has extensive underbody covesr). There was moisture and fluid droplets coming from the exhaust pipes. I started the vehicle remotely to view it from the rear and witnessed white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes, then immediately shut it off. I had it towed to my mechanic who checked the vehicle and noted no issues with the coolant combustion or engine pressure. I had it towed to another shop which replaced the turbo last year, and they checked it for turbo issues. They noted that the engine is dumping coolant into the exhaust system, and that this is an issue know to Ford.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder(s): My vehicle suddenly overheated while I was traveling on a highway that had stretches of ongoing construction and no shoulder. While attempting to reach a portion of the highway with a shoulder, my car went into "limp" mode. I had to shut the vehicle off and wait for it to cool. After about an hour I was able to have someone bring me coolant and I was able to restart my vehicle and get to a safe location. My car continues to overheat whenever I try to accelerate on a highway, leaving me in a position where I am trying to pull my car to the shoulder without causing an accident. There is white smoke coming from my exhaust, my check engine light comes on, and I am losing coolant, although no leaks can be found. My car has ALL symptoms listed under Ford's Technical Service Bulletin 20-2100 issued 01 April 2020 titled "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 1.5L EcoBoost - Low Coolant, White Exhaust Smoke And/Or Illuminated MIL - Built On Or Before 10-Jun-2019". This intrusion can cause my vehicle to catch on fire! I have had my vehicle evaluated and scanned and am now having to spend over $1,500 to replace the water pump in hopes it alleviates the overheating. Ford is expressly aware of this issue, and I have found that there have been multiple class-action suits filed against Ford for this exact issue.

Started with a check engine code misfire in cylinder 3. Took it to a shop for them to say I needed a new spark plug and coil. Replaced the parts, and still had the code. Kept driving the car and then started having rough idling, white exhaust smoke, and stalling. Upon further research noticed I was missing coolant but the mechanic couldn’t find the leak. Continued driving the car, experiencing trouble accelerating, stalling, and white exhaust smoke. Replaced fuel injectors. Up until one day I went to start the vehicle and it would crank but not turn over. Had it towed to a mechanic who said they couldn’t explain why I had no spark. Then to another mechanic who said I have coolant leaking into my cylinder 3 that will require engine replacement. This is a known issue with fords with the same engine. Addressed ford and they said there was nothing they could do without a recall.

This car has a coolant leak failure where coolant has leaked into the engine and showing no signs of a visible leak. This is exactly the same failure mode as all of the ford fusion recalls with the same engine but for whatever reason this VIN was not included in the recall. I have filed a complaint with Ford #02160862 but they state there is nothing they can do. I have reviewed my options with the dealership and they said that Ford doesn’t even offer remanufactured engines for this vehicle because they all experience the same coolant issue. This statement alone shows that Ford is aware of the issue but not doing anything about it. Replacement with a brand new engine quoted at $11k is the only path forward.

As me and my daughter had been out all day on the way home the coolant light comes on it’s overheating so we stop and waited bout 15 minutes started home again same thing happened then the car started misfiring checked coolant it was low put some in then in a couple days coolant was gone again took to shop to look for leak was informed motor was going bad never had issues out car till coolant started leaking looked it up that was one of ford biggest problems with the ford fusion but no recall has been stated for this problem so I would b careful of the coolant systems

The engine failed completely needing full replacement @ 110,270 miles. Technical Service Bulletin 22-2322, super ceding TSB 22-2134 (attached file ford gave me) Coolant leak into cylinder 2 due to engine defect. I was getting on the highway when the car suddenly started overheating, the warning light did come on. This was roughly around [XXX], I do not recall the exact date. Then suddenly everything went back to normal. Engine temp was perfect within a second. When I got home, I checked the coolant, and it was very low. So, I replaced the coolant. The next time I started the car it barely started, and White smoke poured out the exhaust. I then parked it in the garage, and it sat. After researching what the issue was. I knew I couldn't afford a $10,000 bill. Recently I had to take a loan and brought the car in to be inspected and repaired. The engine, Turbo, Tires, and some miscellaneous work was all done at the time. It was towed in on [XXX]. The engine was serviced by Van Horn Ford of Sheboygan. Service advisor knew what the issue was before I even brought the car in just from the description. Even said he's seen a few with the same exact issue over the years. I didn't bring the car in initially because I bought it used so it didn't have a warranty and I knew I could not afford to replace it at the time. It costed about $10,074.44 plus some miscellaneous parts. I will have attached the Parts and service list. Not only did the defect ruin the engine, but also the turbo, both recommended to be replaced. This problem could have started the engine on fire if I did not catch it and stop driving the vehicle. I did end up going through all repairs by taking a loan out of my 401K to repair it. I attached both the service / parts list. as well as the Service bulletin the Ford service advisor gave me.

My 2016 Ford Fusion with 90,000 miles has a coolant intrusion problem. This has caused my car to shake, smell, run terribly, hesitate while driving in traffic, almost losing power and now not starting. The first time I had trouble starting my car I took it to the Ford dealer that has always worked on my cars and was told I have a coolant intrusion issue. They said coolant leaked into a cylinder due to a design issue and there is no recall at this time. My service engine light would go on and off. When we called the dealer about the light going on and then not coming back on for weeks at a time they said when the light goes back on and stays on to call them and they would have a look. This started about 6 months ago. The light would only light up a couple of times and go back out. My car has not started since the beginning of April 2024. The dealer has quoted us $10,000 to fix this problem of a faulty designed motor.

Was driving and vehicle started to shake and lose speed. Check engine light came on. Checked and said misfire in cylinder 3. Took to mechanic and said coolant leaked into engine, plugs were corroded and heads cracked. Total engine replacement needed. Ford does not have recall for this year or model even though it's a widely known issue. I still have a loan on this car that I now can't drive as I don't have an extra $5000 to pay for an engine and my extended warranty won't cover it.

Antifreeze is leaking into the engine and now the engine needs replaced. Ford is aware of faulty 2.0 turbo engines but has not recalled it. I bought an extended warranty and they won't cover it. I have been a Ford guy my whole life but that will change because Ford knows about the issue but won't do anything about it.

The engine cooling failed inside the block on cylinder #2. The cooling system is not operable and resulted in blue smoke under acceleration. The car is no longer under warranty and only has 65K miles on it and is otherwise in good working order. I am told the whole engine needs to be replaced.

My 2016 Ford Fusion check engine light came on and started blowing white smoke out of the exhaust. I had it towed to the Ford dealership and they told me that my entire engine needs to be replaced because of a coolant link on the engine. They said my car overheated and had no coolant. I know my engine had coolant and there was no sign of a leak. There was no notification of the car overheating. After researching on the internet there is a known part that cause this problem. Ford is aware and they aren't fixing it. My car could have caught on fire with no fault of my own. I can't afford to pay $10,000 for a new engine. This is an extreme financial hardship for me.

Coolant leaking into cylinder, overheating, headgasket

First noted engine acting sluggish about a week prior to 2-13-24 oil change at Firestone. They suggested it may be the fuel injection system needing to be cleaned, which they performed on 2-14-24. Engine continued to run sluggish and was in fact worse than before, engine light came on 2-21-24 so Firestone replaced fuel injector that day. Error codes were reading misfire in cylinder 2, the engine was still full of carbon and other buildup so they thought there was still residue and thoroughly cleaned everything again after replacing fuel injector. On 2-22-24 I refueled after work and car would not start. AAA was dispatched to tow vehicle and I notified Firestone it would be brought in, fortunately after about 15 minutes I was able to start it and drive it to Firestone, engine light immediately came on. They looked at it first thing on 2-23-24 and engine started up normally, they suspected a faulty fuel canister valve (which was replaced in 2020) but that did not turn out to be the case, codes were again reading misfire in cylinder 2. White smoke began emitting from exhaust and they discovered spark plugs as well as engine cylinders were soaked with oil, also coolant was nearly gone despite no signs of a leak. Upon doing research they discovered this website and pending class action lawsuits against Ford for faulty engine design that knowingly causes coolant to leak into cylinders, thus causing engine block to fail. They advised me to trade/sell the car immediately but also to have Ford give their opinion. AAA towed the car to Sarasota Ford on 2-28-24 and they called on 3-1-24 to report the engine had completely failed and it would cost $12,000 to replace. I declined and will arrange for AAA to tow it home until we can sell the vehicle for scrap per advisor's suggestion as it cannot be traded or sold in this condition. I have spent thousands in repairs/Ubers as Ford refuses to cover cost or provide a loaner, also had to open Firestone credit card just to cover repairs

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he observed plumes of white smoke emanating from the exhaust, after which the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 22-2322. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 175,000.

Mileage: 175,000

My vehicle has been maintained by the dealer and myself for the 87800 miles that have been put on it. I purchased the vehicle in August of 2016 brand new with 34 miles on it. The motor has a manufacturing defect, the block was built in the same plant (Hermosillo, HERMOSILLO, MEXICO)that other Ecoboost motors were built in that were recalled for the coolant leaking into cylinders via a "fix" which was cutting a channel between the cylinders on the deck of the long block between the cylinder walls, this compromised the integrity of the seal between the cylinder head and head gasket. This allowed coolant to leak into cylinder 4 of my vehicle. Ford has known about the issue for the last several years and continues to make these motors. The dealer I purchased the vehicle from wants $14,000 to replace the motor with a new long block but I would not feel comfortable having that done and would want a crate engine as the other components would now be compromised. I have spent $1200 on replacement coil packs and spark plugs, coolant and oil, all to treat the symptoms. In addition to Fords $260 diagnostic fee at the dealer for a known defect. Ford should not get away with bilking customers for $10,000 plus engine rebuilds - this would likely not last the same miles it has gone currently in my case.

I have this car with a coolanat leak into the Cylinder causing a misfire resulting in fuel/oil in cylinder and white smoke coming from the exhaust. i keep on having codes pop up and my cabin smells like burnt oil my kids are smelling this on a daily basis its bad for their health i know Ford knows about this problem. if my car catches fire because of the oil problem whos responsible, I've changed out spark plugs. coils. fuel injectors. all sensors. an nothing seems to work. when i changed my oil it looks like oil is flooding my motor an covering my entire engine an leaking everywhere its also a road hazard

A couple days before scheduled tune-up, noticed that 2016 Ford Fusion(Ecoboost), began to drive differently. Exactly one day prior to service appt. the check engine icon appeared. Long and short, dealership reached out after me leaving car to explain that my 7 yr. old vehicle with regular maintenance, just over 100,000 miles, and no prior issues could not receive a regular maintenance tune-up due to spark plug(s) being wet from leaking coolant and an engine replacement being the only option of repair. Although, I was told at the time and read that this habitual issue was common in my make and model, there were no recalls in place to rectify the issue. Safety at risk based on other Googled reviews and articles with the same known issue with consequences ranging from low coolant to possible total engine shut down or fire. It was those reviews with similar diagnosis and recommendations that led me to this site.

I brought my ford fusion 2016 SE with around 84,000miles on it, into a local dealership for recalls I needed done, my car was running completely fine before that. Ford did a multi point inspection and I passed for everything besides tires and brakes which was expected! Not even 12 hours after getting my car back, my check engine light turned on.. I was so confused on how that was happening. I contacted ford again and they told me my coolant pressure was low but that wasn’t even stated in my multi point inspection. Anyways I had to go to work the next day and my car completely stops in the middle of a main road & my car wouldn’t accelerate. The person behind me almost slammed into my back end. I have never had a complaint about my car, I love my fusion. But after further research this is a very common problem with my specific model and year, so much so that there’s an on going lawsuit for the coolant leaking because of the design of the engine, which can cause over heating, fires, and needing an engine replacement. I was completely shocked, because they didn’t say anything about my coolant until I told them my car stopped driving in the middle of the road.. This is a serious safety hazard, and I don’t have 9k laying around for a brand new engine that was fine before I brought it in, this is a recurring problem that’s happening to so many ford owners. This seems very sneaky and dangerous coming from such a well known company I’m so disappointed.

In July took vehicle to Ford service center for car throwing “engine coolant about temperature” warning. They told me there was a crack in engine caused by RECALL 23E03. They gave me invoice stating so but it’s a LIE because that recall has nothing to do with the engine. I have paperwork to prove they stated so and they were asking for +$10k for repair and labor. I declined the work. They also confirmed coolant intrusion. They told me I had to tow my car out of there as it was not operational but when I arrived I was able to drive it off. In august vehicle began to throw warning for “engine coolant above temperature” again.” When this would happen temp gauge would go to MAX, but as soon as warning went away, temp immediately dropped to medium temp.I took it to another mechanic. Warning light turned onwhen going on on-ramp and then car went into “reduce power to engine”. Took to mechanic and replaced thermostat, spark plugs, and coolant. $1,240.78 in repairs and labor. Engine coolant tempt and power reduce happened again in October. They mentioned all my coolant was almost gone and and oil was not registering on dip stick. They replaced all ignition coils, fluids, oil filter. $1175.98 repair and labor. November 9th both warnings come on and off intermittently. Took to mechanic but warning not present. Serpentine belt replaced + fuel throttle service. $683.79 in repairs and labor. On 11/27/23 took car to mechanic and they confirmed transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. This has put my and my families saftey at risk as vehicle stops in the middle of the road whether service street or freeway and has impeded my day to day lifestyle. Ford motors lied to me about the issues and had caused more problems and out of pockets costs. This issues has been reported with other people as well.

Cylinder 2 misfire, coolant leak - engine

While driving on Interstate 75 from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa, the check engine light began to flash and the car began to shake violently. I had to bring it into a Ford dealer in Naples FL. It turns out that there is a known coolant intrusion issue into the engine and a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ford. There are a number of technical service bulletins as well however they are not issuing a recall.

Date of first incident was Nov 19, 2023. I was driving home from taking my elderly mother to the doctor and my engine just shut off. I had plenty of gas, my oil and transmission had been changed, no warning lights came on my dash prior to the engine stopping. The only message I had on my car said the car is not in park. No one can seem to find out why. It has done this at a moderate rate of speed (45mph). My steering wheel locked and I can't steer the car giving me the option to get to a safe place on the road. I have to hit another vehicle or hit a pole. I have good insurance but I don't want to use it to fix body damage. I can't afford that with a 300 dollar car payment. My break sensor error light will come on as well and I went to have the breaks changed and fluid replaced but it doesn't work. I am afraid that I might get hurt or someone else will, but I can't afford another care to help care for my parents or get to the doctor. The Ford dealership will not let me trade it in unless I give them 7000 dollars. The transmission will Jerk when changing gears. I still owe 9000 dollars. I looked online to see if I could find a solution and multiple people are complaining about the same problem.

I currently have a 2016 Ford Fusion SE with the 1.5L engine. Upon starting the car, the check engine light came on and idled roughly. After scanning the codes for the check engine light, it was determined that it was experiencing a cylinder 3 misfire. I took the car to the dealership and upon repair, they uncovered there was a coolant intrusion coming from the engine and either a "band-aid fix" was needed for $3,500 dollars or a full engine replacement for $8000+ dollars was needed. The dealership confirmed that they have seen this being a known issue for this type of vehicle/engine but there was no relief for the repair. After moving forward with the $3,500 repair to replace the head gasket, it was determined that even then the car was inoperable, and I was left without a vehicle and a bill to pay.

The 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine developed a cracked block at the seven year, 94,000 mile point. The cracked block leaked coolant into the number 2 cylinder thereby causing the check engine light to illuminate. The cracked block necessitated a full engine replacement. The cracked block could have caused a catastrophic engine failure while in operation, putting the driver and other drivers on the road at risk. Research indicates this is a known problem with this engine.

Engine started running very rough, hesitating and surging. OBD-2 computer codes indicate cylinder misfires. Engine is very hard to start. Coolant level is rapidly dropping, and engine overheating frequently. White smoke seen from exhaust. Acceleration is very slow and merging into moving traffic is difficult and dangerous. Reading that engine fires have been reported. Refer to Ford Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229 regarding coolant intrusion into cylinders. Took to local repair shop and they diagnosed leaking coolant reservoir and failed fuel injector. These were replaced at a cost of $2,000. See uploaded invoice.

Car was having difficulty starting and occasionally overheating. Check engine light came on and read that 1st ignition coil and spark plug needed to be replaced. The repair was done and the problem persisted. Car continued to overheat and lost coolant rapidly. Brought the car back to the shop and was told that the coolant was emptying into the engine and the engine needed to be replaced.

I was driving to this morning and the check engine light started blinking and the car started to shake i looked it up and it said the engine was misfiring and what not. But it would shake when idling and driving. I had a loss of power and had to pull of the highway to avoid danger.

Vehicle stalled multiple times at traffic lights in heavy traffic. Took vehicle to dealership and was told that engine coolant is leaking into the engine and the entire engine would have to be replaced at a cost of over $10,000. Called Ford Customer Service and was told that even though it's a known problem which is being reported by many customers they will not replace the engine or help with the cost.

one day my car randomly showed a sign that my engine was over heating. So I pulled over and was able to Uber to an auto part get more coolant for the car. Since that day forward I had to replenish the coolant at least every two weeks when I went to get a diagnostic they told me I had an internal coolant leak and that I was going to need a new engine and then also my head gasket was blown. I only had the car for a little under two years. As I did reasearch I realized this is a major problem among ford fusions and other ford cars in general. I believe ford knows all about this issue and the engine design being faulty.

The engine failed ( I was told by Lithia Springs Ford Dealership that coolant was leaking into the engine and now I have to replaced the whole engine). The guy "Richard" at the dealership immediately pointed out that coolant could be leaking into the engine when I told him that fluid was found on one of the spark plugs. He said that Ford Fusion with the size engine 1.5 have been having this problem alot. It is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of every other vehicle on the road was put at risk as I was driving and then my check engine light started blinking. My vehicle started vibrating hard and fast causing me to impede the flow of traffic on the interstate and almost get rear ended why driving in the far left lane (the fast lane). I immediately got off the interstate and slowly drove 5 mph to a Autozone and had the scanner check the vehicle. The code P0302 came up with fuel injectors and misfire in cylinder 2. The vehicle was towed to the dealership a few days later because it was not driveable. The dealership called me and confirmed the cylinder 2 was misfiring and it was due to coolant leaking into the engine. The vehicle was only inspected by Lithia Spring Ford Dealership. There was no warning lights, the engine went immediately to blinking and the engine started vibrating hard. This incident happened on Sunday 9/3/2023.

TSB 19-2172 Check Engine light lit due to a rough startup condition. ODB codes indicated the vehicle had a misfire of cylinder three. Replaced 4 spark plugs and the 3rd cylinder coil pack. 2 days later the car began to overheat to low coolant levels. "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" Added 3/4 gal of coolant and took to dealership. Dealership confirmed engine was compromised due to coolant intrusion after performing the pressure test.

I have a 2016 Ford Fusion SE Ecoboost wth 1.5 engine. In December 2021, while driving a block from my home, the engine overheated and I pulled over to find no coolant. There has been no coolant leaking under my car. Coolant was added that day, but has continually needed to be refilled. My check engine light had been coming on stating the sensor 2 ignition cable was bad, but we had replaced it along with spark plugs, but it kept coming up as a bad sensor and we confirmed it wasn't a defect part, it always showed sensor 2 as the problem. I took the car to my mechanic in June 2023 and he found that the fuel injector under that sensor wasn't being fed fuel continually, but skipping. He replaced the fuel injector and discovered the coolant leak was in the engine. I paid for a new gasket, then he discovered the coolant freeze plug was cracked, so ordered a new one from Ford. After being told the part is still on back order for over 8 weeks, I called my local Ford dealership and was informed they aren't making the coolant freeze plug for the 2016 Ford Fusion Ecoboost 1.5 at this time due to quality issues. I then called Ford manufacturing and was told they had those plugs, so they sent one to my mechanic. He currently is attempting to install it but says it appears it will just create the same problem. I am reading online countless individuals with Ford vehicles from 2013 to 2019 with Ecoboost engines having a problem with coolant leaking into the engine, causing car fires and numerous dangerous issues. I have not had use of my car for 10 weeks and if this plug goes in place, I will be afraid to drive it as I'm reading about cars catching fire. All these vehicles need recalled and Ford Motor Company needs to fix these engines or provide us with safe vehicles. I am disabled and cannot afford another car and am still paying for this 2016 Fusion. I've spent a lot on rental cars and ride shares to my appointments and am basically home bound because of this.

I bought my car new at AutoNation st the end of 2015. I serviced it there the whole time I had it. The check engine light came on back in may. They said it was a spark plug. The car ran for a few weeks and the check engine light came back on. I tried getting it back into AutoNation. They wouldn't return my phone call for over a week. So I decided to take it to Spritzer in Hartville. They diagnosed it as coolant leaking into the engine cylinders due to a defective engine block. That they've known was a problem for years. Spritzer told me that they get a few in every month with the same problem. I feel Ford has sold these Echoboost engines knowingly to the public. I was told my car was out of warranty and I have to trade it in or pay $11,000 to replace the long block. My car only has 72,000 miles on it and was well taken care of. I feel Ford needs to recall these engines because if it blows up on the highway you'd lose control of the vehicle possibly.

Coolant reservoir was empty. Filled it and was low in a few days. Also started getting P302 check engine error for Cylinder 2 Misfire. That in combination with coolant leaks shows that coolant is intruding into cylinder 2. Most likely through the design grooves in Engine. This defect should be covered under a recall.

Vehicle won’t start so I called my roadside/towing assistant number got someone out to do battery jump service because I been through this before twice come to find out that wasn’t the issue might needed more gas still wasn’t the issue so I got the vehicle towed to a shop it came back I needed the dealership to reprogram the vehicle they couldn’t because it wasn’t drivable so I got it towed to another shop just for them to tell me I need a new engine they didn’t know what cause the problem but just off what they seen while doing a diagnostic was low compression on all cylinders oil full and normal color (not brunt) coolant is full and clean warranty doesn’t want to cover parts that’s needed for the vehicle like cylinder head gasket check engine light always came on after repairs was fixed

Check engine light came on as the car started riding and idling rough. Took my car to Firestone and they hooked car up to computer and pulled codes. Engine misfire in cylinder 4. They weren't confident what the issue/fix was, so they recommended that I take to the Ford dealership to have them assess. Dealing with the dealership was a nightmare and after staying on top of them for 10 days, I finally was able to get a diagnosis that it was my spark plugs. Not wanting to wait another 10 days for a fix, I took the car back to Firestone since Ford had said what the issue was. Firestone changed the spark plugs and problem was resolved. The next day, check engine came back on and was riding/idling rough. Took back to Firestone. It was a misfire in cylinder again and they changed all 4 spark plugs again thinking it might be the spark plugs. They also confirmed that the coils were not the issue. Problem was solved. Four days later, the check engine light comes back on and the car is riding rough. Took back to Firestone and they dug deeper and confirmed that coolant was leaking into the cylinder causing the misfire. They said that it is a well-known and well-documented issue with the Eco Boost engines as they have a design flaw that allows coolant to leak into the cylinder. Firestone cautioned that I needed to be careful to monitor my coolant levels as the leak into the engine will drain my levels and can cause serious engine and safety issues. They said that I would need a new engine to fix the problem as there was no other solution to stop the misfire. My car only has 79,097 miles on it! We take extremely good care and get it maintenanced regularly. I checked and there are no recalls for my car for this issue even though I can find many, many instances where others are having the same issue with this engine. Without a recall, I will be responsible for paying for a new engine even though it is a design flaw that Ford is well aware of and not an issue that I caused.

I got into an accident around May 3rd. Roughly around 11 pm to 12 am. To inform whomever is reading, none of the issues I will list have happened prior to this event. At the accident my car would not turn on, and it would not lock. As well as a piece of the car had broke off. I took my car to Mike's auto body for repairs. When the person inspecting the car had reviewed what was wrong with my 2016 Ford Fusion, I was informed part of the issue was the starter. I was informed by Nick a staff member of Mike's auto body, that the piece was replaced. After I had picked up my car on June 6, 2023 as per the receipt from my payment. The first time the event happened was on around June 6th to June 20th (I know it happened on a rainy Tuesday or Wednesday anywhere from 7am to 8am prior to Thursday June 22nd.) My car flashed "See manual" on my dash board. The air bag light had turned on. My car would not accelerate, the brakes functioned at this point, but when I pulled off the road and parked my car shook. When I had turned my car off, took out the keys, and turned it on again the problem was "resolved" and I was able to continue driving to work. I had called the auto shop and eventually left my car with the auto shop to be safe. The next event happened on Thursday June 22nd at 4:10 pm after I had picked it up from the auto shop when Nick had informed me my car was safe and nothing was reading on the scanner. (I took a picture of the dash board to show the message) and turned my car back into the auto shop. To note, the brakes did not work during this time. The next time it happened was the first time I drove my car again after picking it up from Mike's auto shop. July 1st at 12:47 pm. The same stuff happened. I recorded on video what my car was doing. My car decelerate when my foot was still on the gas, the brakes were not working, hot air out of the ac, car shaking. It happened 10+ times today (7/15/23) after leaving the dealership to fix a recall I have several videos of it

My check engine light starting coming on and off intermittently. After a week of this going on, I took it to a ford dealership for a diagnostic. I had taken it to auto zone prior to the appointment and their diagnostic indicated a cylinder 2 misfire. They told me it was probably a coil or spark plug that needed replacing but to follow up with the ford dealership. The ford dealer informed me at my appointment that the engine coolant was low and had been leaking into the engine. Told me it would require a short block replacement and quoted me almost $13,000!! The car has never had any problems and only has 88,000 miles. After researching this problem, ford has had numerous complaints about the safety issues this could cause and even appears to have had recalls at some point previously. If so, I never received anything and there is no active recall on my vehicle.

Water intrusion on #3 cylinder in motor. Ford won’t cover the expense.

coolant leak, problems with block, problems with head gasket, blowing white smoke. (1.5L ecoboost)

The defect is the fly wheel. Was advised by a mechanic that the fly wheel breaks due to an oil pump issue or a tab inside the transmission itself. had to replace a broken fly wheel twice in 8 months. Looing up complaints and recalls it's the same motor and issue the edge was having. costing so far over 4500 dollars . The issue has been lloked at by 3 mechanics and now its back in a tranmission shop being looked at due to tranmission issues and broken fly wheel again . driving and there has been sound etc in the transmission area. lossing power and finally the car stopped . would not go in gear or move. had to be towed . first bill 685 dollars now looking at 5200. car only has approx 92000 miles same motor that the edge has been havong problems etc. this motor needs to be recalled as well or transmission .

The engine coolant leaked into the cylinders as a result the car had rough idles and startups with overheating issues as well we dying on me completely while driving. Confirmation on coolant leak by big o tires, solution is new engine. There was a cylinder 3 misfire code with the check engine light.

I take it to mechanic they say my car have transmission problems is making lot noise and stop and go really crazy. The dealer say there is nothing wrong with car. The. Brakes sometimes get me scared when I drive I feel we r not safe. No and they can’t fix it because they don’t have the part for the brakes. The msg was check owner manual something like that which can mean lots different problems in ur vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was running rough before overheating. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact added coolant. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed there was coolant in cylinder #2 and there was coolant on spark plug #2. The contact was informed that the long block designed too thin, which caused the coolant to run off. The contact stated that failure was related to NHTSA ID Number: 10174400 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was contacted and declined to provide additional assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

My car has an internal engine coolant leak, also known as coolant intrusion. I have found online that this coolant intrusion issue is a defect in 1.5 liter ecoboost engines such as the one in my 2016 Ford Fusion SE. Now my car's coolant does not hold above the minimum level required which lead to overheating, and white smoke coming from the car, as well as a burning smell of coolant. No warning lamps or indication of overheating came on in the dashboard as these issues happened either. Now I have to replace the entire engine out of my own pocket because Ford has known about this issue, but failed to recall the engines as I can assume that they hope the coolant intrusion happens after enough time/miles driven passes that the affected driver's warranty is out of date, as is the case with me.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that on several occasions, an abnormally loud clattering sound was heard after starting the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was advised to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I purchased my car on 9/22/21 with 103,000 miles as well as opting into the extended warranty offer. Since then, I have had a LOT of issues. It was taken to the dealership on 8/1/22 due to an issue with acceleration; the car would stop operating while driving to a point where I’d have to pull over, turn it off, then turn it back on. The check engine light would come on with code P0299. I had to pay for the repair since it was deemed it was a vacuum leak...which wasn’t covered in my warranty. The issue returned shortly after, so my car returned to the dealership on October 3,2022. The diagnostics indicated I needed a new transmission, so I didn’t receive my car back until November 19, 2022. Shortly after receiving my car back, I noticed coolant leaking to the bottom of the engine. There is also white residue on my spark plug in the first cylinder. I have just returned from the dealership to have my vehicle diagnosed (5/16/23), but I was told I have exceeded the mileage for the warranty coverage; to have my car diagnosed for the 3 issues, it would cost $199.99 each....and it may result in requiring a new engine....which would cost around $8,000. So essentially, I am now stuck paying a car note on a vehicle that has had several MAJOR issues not even 2 years into ownership.

Coolant started leaking into the engine block. Appears that the reason for this leaking into the engine is because of a design flaw that Ford is aware of in the ecoboost versions of their engines. The vehicle is now un-driveable because of the risk of overheating and safety risks.

Coolant is leaking into the engine. Ford fusion ecoboost essentially has a coolant intrusion. Ford knew about this and still won't it.

Purchased car 2 months ago. Vehicle started overheating and was towed to the local ford dealership. Was called and quoted $14,400 to replace the engine due to an issue that Ford apparently knows about and has a class action suit against them for. Car is only 7 years old and should not need an entire engine.

I noticed that my coolant in the reservoir kept getting low. I will add coolant every other day. Then I noticed my tailpipe left a trail of white smoke. Then a check engine light came on. I scanned the code and showed P0302. A misfire in cylinder two. I began reading that thai is a common issue. My car only has 87,000 Miles.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was shuddering. The message "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" was displayed. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact stated upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle shuddered significantly and made abnormal knocking sounds. The contact stated that after the vehicle remained stationary for a while, the vehicle responded as needed; however, there was dark smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe.

Engine on my 2016 has coolant leaking into the engine through cylinder 2. This is a known issue and Ford has not done anything to correct issue. Dealership says engine is bad and wants over $8K for a new engine. Ford should do right by it’s loyal customers.

Cylinder two misfire diagnosed with having coolant run into the cylinder. This can cause fires and cause car to stop causing potential road hazard. Dealership said engine is no good and this is a ford known issue for this type of engine but there are no ford backed fixes and it would cost me $8k for a new engine in order to be road safe. This needs to be brought up yo fire and they should fix this known issue on eco boost engines.

Coolant is leaking into the engine cylinder. I have to fill my coolant every 2 weeks. Ford says the fix is to replace my engine. My engine has 97000 miles and is outside of warranty.

Coolant leaking into Cylinder 1 causing the spark plug and ignition coil to be replaced. Replaced the parts and Engine light came on again. Called Ford and they are not willing to investigate the problem nor fix the problem. Was told that since my engine was built out of the Flat Rock assembly plant, it was not on the recall list.

My fusion is experiencing a coolant leak in the engine. After research, I have found it is a KNOWN problem by ford, that several people are experiencing. They are refusing to issue and recalls or cover any repair costs associated with the issue.

I've had my Ford Fusion for about 9 months now I have white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I asked was it the head gasket and was told no. I was told it was a cracked radiator, water pump and thermostat. Cost me almost $1,700. Only for the white smoke to come back a week later.

I've had my ford for almost a year and found that coolant was getting into my engine and causing it to overheat and went to get it checked out at a Ford dealership only for them to tell me I would have to buy a new engine I can't afford. I've been looking online at all the problems that could arise if I don't switch the engine like the car starting on fire in hot summer days and can't afford to buy a new car as I had to get a loan for it and can't even drive it much for worry of anything happening. It's my main source of transportation to work and without it I could lose my job. I can't afford to get a new car and another loan for that as well while paying for my ford's loan. I've tried to do research for a recall on the engine but nothing seems to be showing up and I don't know what to do but just keep driving the car and continuously filling the coolant waiting for the day my engine fails on me or it starts on fire and maybe my insurance will cover the costs. I really enjoy the car and have had other ford's before but for the dealership to sell me a car that would fail on me and have me pay more for an engine is not right. This isn't okay and I'm in a situation I can't get out of without being put more into debt with getting more loans.

Two days ago on 12/29/22 I noticed white smoke coming from tailpipe. Later that day noticed the coolant level very low. Later on that day started the vehicle and it violently shuttered for about 5 or 6 seconds after starting. This same thing had happened to my daughter the day before. On 12/30/22 was at mechanics discussing catalytic converter issue due to an alarm and he noticed the smoke. I told him about the low coolant level and the violent starting. He said these motors (1.5l Ecoboost) are notorious for having a cracked cylinder wall and that I probably had that or a blown head gasket. He said he determined this due to the white exhaust smoke and smell and the coolant level being low and the violent startups. I came home and began online research. There are thousands of these claims on these motors as well as a lawsuit against Ford, which my vehicle falls into.

Flex Plates in Ford Fusions with EcoBoost engines are continuously breaking. They have a recall issued for Ford Edge 2016 with the same engine as Ford Fusion 2016 but none for the Fire Fusion. Once these break you can lose power while driving which can be extremely dangerous if on a highway. There is clearly an issue with the flex plates used and a recall should be issued to fix these.

I took my 2016 Fusion in to have the timing belt changed after crossing the recommended 125,000 miles. I received a call from the head mechanic telling me that they had halted all work due to evidence of coolant leaking into the engine. He told me that this was a common defect/design flaw found in these cars that Ford has yet to issue a recall on. He then quoted me an exorbitant number for complete engine replacement. A number I cannot afford. Another Fusion was in their bay that day with exactly the same problem. They had already extracted the engine from it and showed me the area of the engine that was so poorly designed. I took photos, as it was the same engine in my vehicle. The channels for coolant to flow between cylinders in the block were made too large, thus causing the block walls to become compromised, allowing coolant to flow INTO the block, which will eventually seize the engine, which is terrible dangerous and costly. There were no signs that this was occurring with my engine (not lights, not driving issues that I am aware of as a layman). Missing coolant was likely refilled during my oil changes, and no one informed me that my coolant was always low. After looking up the problem online, I found a HUGE community of Ford owners (not just Fusion owners) who have or have had the same problem with the EcoBoost engine. Thousands. Perhaps millions. This MUST be remedied. There are outstanding lawsuits that have not yet been resolved, and I will likely be joining one of the Class Actions if something is not done soon.

Received a mssg on the car panel that car temp was too high & this vehicle was in the shop for several weeks back in July for something related to the engine.

Engine coolant leaking from the head gasket due to poor engine design. Safety of passengers in and outside the vehicle. Vehicle was running hot and possibly could have caused A major malfunction and blew the engine. This has been confirmed by a dealership and an independent service dealer. The check engine light only threw codes for a cylinder 2 misfire. After replacing all spark plug. the problem of the leaking coolant was then noticed without a warning light.

Coolant intrusion leak busted a block and now I need a new engine. I took good care of this car. It all of a sudden started running hot, water sloshing sounds, engine light came on. Took it to Ford auto shop in Wiggins Ms where it was purchased by my son in law and then I payed him $16,000 cash for it and only had it a year. It all happened so fast on the interstate bridge and it was very dangerous because the car shut down quick and I had to call a tow truck. Please help me get another engine this is so wrong. I hate to know this could happen to someone else with a Ford Fusion and cause a fatality. This problem is 100 percent Fords responsibility.

While driving around 35 mph I turned on cruise control and shortly after lost acceleration and power to the engine. I put the vehicle in park and pressed the engine start and the engine turned back on like normal. The next day while driving I lost power again while going about 15 mph. The car randomly loses acceleration and pressing the accelerator does nothing. The "Full Accessory Power Active" message popped up. The check engine light is on and shows code P1450. This is so dangerous since you have no warning and it can happen at any time and any speed. I am taking the car into the dealer to inspect.

Check engine light continually comes on and off since August 2022. I currently have 56642.0 miles on vehicle and always get routine maintenance and oil changes. Never had this issue untill this year. Please look into this issue Ford. Next week I will have a diagnostic done and will file another complaint if this is a serious and expensive engine service I will need. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was slightly stalling as the check engine light was illuminated. The contact also stated that she needed to refill the antifreeze more frequently. A personal diagnostic reader was used and the failure code for a cylinder misfire was retrieved. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer where they confirmed that there was no recall under the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

Check Engine light went on, car has under 95k miles. Upon inspection at dealership, they quoted a new engine as the solution due to a coolant leak into the cylinder (#3). Cost of fix is around $11k...not even close to a reasonable problem for a car of this age! Am being told this is a problem with the long block throughout this line. Need Ford to step up and fix this problem.

My car began overheating and immediately would run fine. After researching what was going on I took my car to Herring Ford in Picayune, MS. They stated to me that the motor would have to be replaced due to a leak from the coolant, but that I could safely drive the car if I kept the coolant level full. After more research I found that year models 2013-2015 were recalled for the same issue. I purchased my 2016 Ford Fusion in December of 2015. I am requesting that my car be added to the recall due to the same defect and that I am reimbursed the full price I paid to have my car repaired. No warning lights appeared unless the coolant level was low. I filled the car with coolant daily to keep it from running hot. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk due to having to stop on the side of the highway when my car would run hot. This was an almost daily occurrence.

Car not starting, engine light on. Took to shop, and was a #3 cylinder misfire error. Shop replaced spark plugs and topped off coolant. Over next few days noticed coolant was disappearing. No leaks. Car running rough, loosing coolant. Took to shop again, after several weeks they came back saying coolant is getting into combustion chamber. Decided to take to dealership, they said I need a new engine. Took to dealership I purchased car from and they said the same, new engine. The car only has 77,000 miles on it. Now it is essentially a paperweight. After researching problem, found out this is a known manufacturers defect (grooves in the head that trap coolant and degrade gasket). 2012 Ford ordered a do not drive notice for the exact same problem. I have wrote to Ford and asked for assistance with the repairs, as this is a manufactures defect, but have been unsuccessful.

The vehicle started leaking coolant into the engine at just under 100k miles. I took my vehicle to Sunrise Ford in North Hollywood, California, and they want just over $10,000 to replace my engine. I've taken care of this vehicle since I purchase new and have always taken care of it. I do not have the money to replace the engine for more than the car is worth. I've spent money on replacement parts, such as, spark plug coils, spark plugs, and valve cleaning. All this seems to be associated with the coolant leaking into the cylinders. At this point, I continue to add coolant to ensure that I do not overheat the engine. I've also stopped driving the vehicle.

Car engine lost power on interstate potentially causing a serious and life-threatening accident. Upon inspection by mechanic, car is losing coolant into the engine cylinder due to design flaw in engine long block and head gasket. Only warning light was immediate and "engine overheating". Ford Motor Company has confirmed acknowledgement of this issue on 2016 to 2019 Ford Fusion and other Ford models but have not issued a recall for this problem. Car has 72K miles with no history of engine failure, overheating, etc. This problem has been reproduced by Ford dealership and inspected with camera to confirm engine coolant within cylinders. Ford also confirms that they've seen this several times and it is due to engine design flaw for ecoboost models 2016-2019.

antifreeze loss that allows coolant to enter into the cylinders of the engine.

Recall notice 22S43 / NHTSA Recall 22 V413 Car rolls when in park with brake on. Now my car won’t start at all. I don’t know if they are related. I need to know because I can’t waste any money if I don’t have to.

Symptoms include - rough idle, car sputtering and dying, miss fire cylinder 2, loss of coolant. Followed the recommendations from the codes after the check engine light came on. Changed the spark plugs & coils, reset check engine light. Came back on within a week. Took to Ford on 8/22/2022. Diagnostic came back on 8/25/2022 as a known issue TSB 19-2375. Faulty design of the short black, coolant intrusion into the cylinders. There is a class action lawsuit already in motion. It's unfortunate and truly unacceptable that Ford knows the old design of the short block is defective and failed to communicate this to car buyers posing safety concerns with car fires and months of vehicles being out of commission due to parts being in back order. Currently the car is being repaired once completed I can provide a detail work order exceeding $8000.00 if needed.

I started getting a check engine light on the car, hooked up obd miss fire cylinder 3, changed ALL the plugs and coil pack for cylinder 3. Cleared codes, ran fine for about 5 days. Misfire on cylinder 3 again, swapped cylinder 2and 3 coil packs, still misfire on cylinder 3 pulled plug, brand new mind you, looked horrible, cleaned it and swapped it with cylinder 2 plug, still misfire cylinder 3, car seemed to run fine when at higher rpm, but at idle was rough. Wife went to leave later in car….. engine coolant over temp came on, I get to the house, and notice that the coolant tank was low, added some coolant, started it back up, coolant seemed to disappear. Checked the dipstick… oil was a milky color so it’s either bad head or bad gasket. Upon looking this problem up there seems to be A LOT of problems with this design on fords motors where coolant is getting into one of the cylinders and ruining the engine.

Started noticing white smoke come from exhaust looked for a coolant leak and couldn’t see any. Was topping all fluids after oil change in July 2022 this is all when I started noticing the white smoke. Come to find out there is coolant intrusion in one of the cylinders. Talked to 3 master techs from different ford dealerships and they all had said that there is not amount of preventative maintenance that could have been done to try and stop the issue. If I would have known about issue before buying would not have bought the car. Ford says that if you replace the head gasket and there is no damage to from intrusion that the issue will happen again. But if you buy there new long block kit that will fix the issue. Not sure why this isn’t a recall when there was nothing that could have been done.

At about 108,000 miles I had coolant intrusion into the engine. I was quoted $8,800 to replace the short block. My car was only worth $10,000 as quoted by CarMax so I will not be making the fix which is what most people with this issue are doing.

Coolant leaking into engine. Engine light on. Engine needs to be replaced according to service center. Known issue with 2016 Ford fusions with 1.5L ecoboost engines. Safety at risk due to overheating.

Check engine light came on and code shown was for the turbo. I had the turbo replaced then check engine light came on again and it was showing missfire on a cylinder. This has been an ongoing battle with the turbo going out again because the engine is burning so much coolant. Recently I lost engine power driving on a main road and was almost hit from behind. This engine is flawed and should be illegal for it to be used in any vehicle. I have had nothing but trouble out of this car from the time I purchased it.

Vehicle has been diagnosed with water intrusion in cylinder #4. TSB from Ford shows an known issue that requires replacing the block. Even though my safety was not in question, this know problem should be up for a recall. Thank you.

Recall on the shift cable caused my vehicle to completely stop working/ moving while I was out with my son. No notification was ever giving to me in regards to this problem. This has caused so many issues, specially not given a rental car to be able to to move around. My vehicle is not drivable all because of a recall from Ford company. Ford refuses to provide a rental or any assistance. Being a single mother, Making it hard for me to go to work or even see my kids.

Upon start up of the vehicle the vehicle sputtered . I would give it some gas and then a large grey cloud of smoke come out the exhaust.

The engine failed to start due to engine coolant leaking into the engine compartment. While this occurred while the vehicle was parked, the engine could have failed while driving and endangered the driver and any passengers. The problem has been confirmed by a Ford dealer as a complete engine failure requiring engine replacement outside of the warranty but too soon for normal wear and tear. There were warning lamps for overheating and engine misfiring.

While driving all the coolant drains into the engine causing the engine to over heat. I have read many reviews about this same issue. While driving this happened to me and I had to pull over VERY quickly on a dual lane highway (very unsafe)! Almost got hit by a semi in the process of having to pull over twice! Contacted Ford many times and they stated this is not a recall and all expenses would have to be paid out of pocket! VERY UNHAPPY CONSUMER!

Never serviced

I got a recall notice and called the dealership. They do not have the part until Q4! I rent this car on Turo and have lost revenue because of this.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that though it was a known failure, they could not assist as the vehicle did not have an extended warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,176.

My 2016 Ford Fusion with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine began experiencing a misfire in cylinder 4. I took the vehicle to a Ford Service Center for a diagnosis, and they said that the cause is coolant intrusion into the cylinder, and the only fix is replacing the engine. I still own the vehicle and it is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are put at risk because, in the event of an unexpected total engine failure, I could lose power causing me to be stranded, power steering function, ABS function, etc. There is currently an ongoing class-action lawsuit titled Miller, et al. v. Ford Motor Company, so others have also experienced this issue. The vehicle engine has been inspected and diagnosed by a Ford Service Center. They stated that a faulty design makes the engines susceptible to coolant intrusion. There were no warnings about the failure before the misfire started occurring.

The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter cable to the transmission has degraded causing the bushing to detach from the transmission.

Complete engine failure and extreme overheating from a known block issue at Ford. My car is essentially totaled needing a new engine due to known faulty engine blocks in the 1.5 and 2.0 liter motors from 2013-17. Overheating caused engine to stall on the interstate nearly causing several accidents. Once restarted we got home and was afraid the engine was going to catch fire until cool. Rolled vehicle outside. Ford should be ashamed that they only released a safety/service bulletin and not a recall. Now we are without a needed vehicle unless we can replace the engine at a cost of $5500 to $7500. Who has $7k laying around to fix a known issue to Ford?

Coolant leaked into the engine. Caused engine to overheat

Canister valve replaced to help the vac system, multiple codes appeared, all relating back to the engine! Coolant linking into engine! Issue has been on going.

Car lost power and just cut off right on Railroad Tracks, managed to get it restarted, called dealership in my area, took it in. They stated their computer wasn't finding anything. After a heated discussion, I finally got the head mechanic to drive it and it did the same thing to him. He said new fuel pump, so it costs me $810.00, labor included, which I thought was rape. Just a ridiculous charge, but hey I'm at the mercy of them!!! Three (3) weeks later same thing happening, just cuts off, leaving me on highway at night. Took it back, they put another fuel pump on, no charge. Week and half later, Key Fob doesn't unlock doors, even after putting a new battery in. Tire Pressure FAULT came on and car continued to cut off, again leaving me in a very dangerous situation, but I GOT LUCKY. I took it back to the dealership and told them the Liability is on them. The Car is DANGEROUS and UNPREDICTABLE, "I do not feel safe in it" and they need to keep it until they can determine what is wrong and STOP playing a guessing game. I have read over 788 complaints about this vehicle and the same things are happening to other people. I will proceed with Attorney's, News Media and Insurance Companies if this is not rectified. THE CAR IS A DEATHTRAP!!!

Coolant intrusion into cylinders, car barely runs. Mechanic says there is an issue with these particular ecoboost motors.

Coolant Intrusion I bought the 2016 Ford Fusion 1/8/2022. Three days into ownership, check engine light came on. Ed Morse Ford of Lebanon, MO diagnosed the car and determined "Coolant Intrusion". Due to the flawed design of the engines small block, coolant was allowed to enter into the pistons and sparks plugs. Result of the coolant intruding into the engine components, the engine was getting excessively hot and at serious risk of catching on fire and major component malfunctioning. Ed Morse Ford at their cost, did replace the engine small block and updated some seals and belts. Dealership reported the newly updated small block design was installed. The new design removes the pin holes from the top of the small block moving below the surface. Original design is a fire bomb waiting to happen and has happened.

Engine is leaking coolant into the second cylinder and Ford did a full tube up and did not resolve the issue but is now saying the only course of resolution is a $10,000 engine replacement. The car randomly loses power and may cut off and is a hazard to drive on highways as the power will suddenly be cut. I’ve gone online to see numerous complaints and even the Ford dealer advised this is a common issue but refuse to offer any solution or work with me as I’ve only had the car less than 2 years as the owner but am now being told what they believed to be bad spark plugs is an engine cylinder filling with coolant and they are unwilling to do any repair knowing the engine quality is as bad to begin with and opting to replace the engine for quite and expensive cost that essentially is comparable to going and buying a used car for an issue that is apparently common for their ecoboost engines.

Bad coolant leak into cylinders from inadequate head gasket causing performance issues and needing major repairs. Engine was pressure tested and failed with loss of 5psi in 10 minutes.

My son was driving home from work and his engine overheated setting off steam and displaying red warning icon. He pulled over to side of interstate which happened three times from his work to independent car repair service. Blessed he was not hit sitting on side of interstate or that engine didn't lock up potentially causing loss of control. Both of these issues would have put my son at risk of death or bodily injuries. Both Independent Car Service and Ford Dealership confirmed failure caused by engine head gasket flange design flaw allowing coolant into cylinder head. This resulted in having to have the engine replaced which Ford declined to cover. Ford has recently changed this flawed head gasket flange design to prevent coolant from entering cylinders. It's difficult for me to understand why Ford or NHTSA hasn't taken action on this issue that can potentially put lives at risk. There are multiple years of Ford Vehicle platforms and engines that have this same faulty design. I have multiple children driving and I will make sure not to put them in a vehicle that puts them in potential harm. Regards

I had a check engine light appear on the dash. I took the vehicle to AutoZone to have the warning read. The reading came back as a misfiring spark plug. I had an appointment to get the spark plugs changed during my next oil change. A few days after I had the engine light read, the check engine light turned off. It was off for 1-2 days and then came back on. A few days later, while I was driving, I had a warning light that the vehicle was overheating. I pulled over and checked the coolant and the reservoir was empty. There were no signs of leaking coolant (externally). I let the vehicle cool and added coolant. At this point, I tried to start the vehicle and the vehicle wouldn't start. I had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic to have it looked at. They indicated that the coolant was leaking into the engine and recommended having the vehicle towed to Ford for a detailed diagnosis. Ford diagnosed the vehicle and indicated that the engine needed to be replaced. All within a span of 10 days.

This engine needs to be recalled. Ford shame on you. You know there is a problem with the coolant and by not taking care of the people who were deceived in buying your vehicle is so horrible

On February 20, 2022 I was driving down a busy road when my car out of nowhere just started jerking and would not accelerate. I was stuck in the middle of the road while cars had to slam on breaks and go around me. My car would not move. I had to then turn my car off and restart it in order to get it to a parking lot for safety. I didn't have, and still don't have any warning lights on the dashboard that indicated anything was wrong or going on with my vehicle. I had to have it towed to my mechanic who confirmed my transmission was "shot". It was done. I have always kept up on maintenance and oil changes on my car.

Check engine light came on but no symptoms at that point. Mechanic pulled codes and replaced plugs. Car started skipping and starting harder, so brought in again. Replaced coil on cyl 4. And also used fuel cleaner in case fuel injector was clogged. Still no change except that the heat was not working. After a week or so. Called mechanic who said it sounded like coolant may be low so filled it and made appt. To replace fuel injector. Replaced that and noticed that coolant was low again. Star still skipping and starting hard. Brought it back and he mentioned coolant may be leaking into cylinder and they’d check if gasket blown/cracked. I expressed frustration and asked if I should bring to Ford. He said yes and actually reimbursed me $638. I made appt at Ford but they were a month out. Then I brought to friends mechanic and told him story and he determined it was definitely leaking into cylinder and likely will need new engine. Told me about TSB and all the complaints. Said I should bring to Ford to do work in case recall is issued and I’d get reimbursed.

Coolant leak into cylinder 3 due to defective 2.0L Ecoboost engine. Requires complete engine replacement.

Common issue with 2.0 ecoboost engines, coolant is leaking into cylinders. Caused engine to over heat causing a possible fire issue. There were no signs other than engine started to run rough. Vehicle still runs but smokes out exhaust.

Purchased a 2016 Ford Fusion SE in July of 2021. First week I had the car the engine didnt crank/start. Took it to the dealership that I bought it from they sent me to their mechanic and was told nothing was wrong with it. Happened the third week of purchase went back to the dealership and was told to use my warranty and to take it to Ford. Took it to Ford and was told it had high resistance in my negative terminal in the battery. (First attempt August 2021) I was charged $400 to get the corrosion clean and put a coat on the terminal for protection. A week later my engine didnt start again. Had this problem for several weeks,one day the engine would start the next it wouldnt. I called Ford and was told to bring it back. (Second attempt Oct 2021) Ford told me they diagnosed the car and didnt find any codes to lead to the problem. Kept telling me the engine was starting when they had it but when i went to pick it up it wouldnt for me. (Third attempt Nov 2021) Went picked my car up from Ford on a Monday morning because it was ready and that they still didnt find anything wrong with it and it was starting up just fine. Leaving from work Monday night engine didnt start had to get it towed again to Ford Tuesday morning. I have called Ford headquarters to file a complaint. Do not purchase a Fusion they are terrible cars and Ford theirselves cant even find out what the issue is with the vehicle.

As with all other ford 2.0l Ecoboost engine. There apparently is a design flaw causing coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Which would require a new engine per Ford.

I have a 2016 Ford Fusion SE 2.0L. Got a P0303 code for a cylinder 3 misfire. The spark plugs and coils were replaced to no resolve. Still getting a P0303 code. Short term fuel trims are good so I dont think its an injector issue. The car began to over heat with out warning about a week after the P0303 code started presenting itself. This is dangerous as the vehicle could catch fire.

Defect in engine design allowed coolant to leak into cylinder. There have been recalls on the 1.6L and 2.0L ecoboost engines but not the 1.5L for the same issue. I was advised that his could cause the engine to misfire and overheat possibly causing a fire. A quick search revealed several incremental TSB, 21-2269 is the latest, regarding this issue. This happened with approx 57,000 miles and 5 years 6 months on the car. The only fix was a complete engine swap.

Engine light came on after car overheated. Took car into local auto service center and was told I had a blown head gasket. I'm filling this complaint due to the numerous other complaints regarding this same issue on the same year make and model of my car. Had I not taken my car to the service center immediately, potential for safety issue could have been high and impacted myself, family, and other individuals driving near me.

TSB 19-2346 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf) needs to include 2016 models of the Ford Fusion. My wife was starting our 2016 Ford Fusion 2.0l EcoBoost when it started shaking violently in idle. The check engine light began flashing. We had it towed into Ford where they are now quoting us a $10,000 full engine replacement for “coolant in the cylinders.” This is the exact same problem the 2017-19 fusions are experiencing, so I am not sure why the 2016 isn’t on this list.

Coolant leaking into Engine

The car is missing on cylinder #1 and showing signs of a blown head gasket. Car will stall at random times as well. This is car has a the 1.5 ecoboost with a flway in the block design. Ford told me because of the flaw that I would have to purchase a new engine. There is currently a TSB out for this exact reason, yet ford wants me to pay for their mistake.

I have a 2016 Fusion with a 1.5 L EcoBoost, 54,000 miles on it. I am out of warranty by less than a year. My car told me that the engine was overheating while I was driving down the highway. I pulled off the road, and found there was no coolant in the reservoir. I filled the coolant up and kept an eye on it while scheduling a repair appointment. Every time I would drive the car, it would stutter when accelerating, only when it was cold. Once it warmed up it was not an issue. Every time I would also have to refill the coolant. I took the vehicle in, and found out it was misfiring on cylinder 4, and the coolant was leaking into the engine. Since it is out of warranty, it is $3,000 out of pocket. My car could have started on fire, or started smoking from the engine and caused a major accident had this gone on for too long. The misfire of the cylinder did not cause any warning lights to go on in my car. It would throw a code for a little bit, then disappear, it was a soft code not a hard code.

In September 2021 my 2016 Ford Fusion that has a 1.5L Eco boost engine had white smoke emitting from the exhaust. A check engine light came on and a test revealed that the #3 spark plug or ignition coil as bad. I had all spark plugs and ignition coils replaced. The light went off and three days later the check engine light came back on. We took it to Bob Tomes Ford 950 S Central Expy, McKinney, TX 75072. A Service inspection revealed that engine coolant was leaking into the cylinders and could potentially cause engine over heating and possibly a fire. This has been a known problem and numerous Service Bulletins (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 1.5L EcoBoost - Low Coolant, White Exhaust Smoke And/Or Illuminated MIL - Built On Or Before 06-Apr-2019 19-2139) have been released on this issue, A compete engine replacement is the only repair option due to the original engine design since 2010 was a defective design which Ford actually recalled in the 1.6L engine but not the 1.5L. Ford Motor Company requires the consumer to bare the cost of repairs. My vehicle warranty was out by 2 months when this problem started at 82,000 miles. There is currently a law suit filed for this issue in U.S District Court for the Eastern District of California, Case # 2-2021cv00468. filed March 15, 2021.

Water seeping into cylinders causing engine warning light, missing, stalling and lost horsepower. Problem was found upon Dealership doing a pressure test and removing spark plugs to see the issue and confirmed. Water loss was being noticed during oil changes couple years before this incident. Last oil change 1200 miles ago noticed a big loss of water in the reservoir. First warning light appear 2 months ago but cleared a couple days later until this last warning light a week ago with noticeable performance issue.

Internal coolant leak inside cylinder causing misfire told engine could catch fire

The engine block failed, cracking, causing coolant to leak into the number 3 cylinder. Causing a misfire code. I could hear what sounded like water flowing behind the dash for awhile. Eventually noticed I was a little low on coolant, then ended up using a whole gallon of coolant in about a week. The dipstick also had coolant on it when I checked the oil level. The car has been at the shop since January 23rd, 2021, they tested the head and it was fine. When I noticed it was a serious issue, coolant was blowing out the tail pipes in white clouds. I have a short video of this happening.

Vehicle is not cooling off

Coolant leaked into engine causing cylinder 2 misfire and is now requiring an 8 thousand dollar repair for the whole engine.

My fusion has had a rough idle when starting for the past year. I took it in to the mechanic and they said the problem was due to a backfire. They replaced the spark plugs and coils for around $500-$600. About 5 months later, I get e check engine light and a warning that the engine is overheating. Take it to the mechanic, where they figured out that this consistent issue is due to a head gasket leak, where coolant is going into the engine. From doing research, I have noticed that Ford Fusions with an eco boost engine have a poor engine manufacture and that this issue is prevalent in most eco boost engines. The new fix seems to be ranging from $1,200, and I have tried to diagnose this issue multiple times. This isn't easily distinguished by the engine warning, and can run the risk of drivers driving with lower amounts of engine coolant. If the engine overheats it can make the engine catch on fire. Although this did not happen to me yet, it has been months to diagnose this issue, only to find out that it is due to the engine model, and that leaving it untreated can cause serious damage to me and the engine.

Vehicle overheats. Filled up coolant reservoir twice in one week. Checked coolant, coolant low, no leaks, no water going into the oil, coolant evaporates and causes car to overheat.

Coolant leaking into engine, 5 year old car with only 50K miles. Tons of information online about similar issues around the country but Ford has not acknowledged that it’s a design flaw. Local dealer wants 10K dollars to replace engine.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while turning on the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a misfire detected in cylinder # 1. the check engine warning light was reset. The independent mechanic suggested that the vehicle be driven for a couple of miles to see if the check engine warning light would reappear. During the drive, the contact noticed that there was white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe and an overheat alert message appeared on the display. The contact researched online and saw that there was a technical service bulletin related to the failure and had the vehicle towed back to the same independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the long block was cracked and the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,907.

I bought my 2016 Fusion two years ago with 75,000 Miles on the odometer. The first day it went into fail safe mode while in the passing lane. I had no engine power and had to pull over in traffic. Code P2111 Throttle body stuck open. I cleaned the throttle body and maf sensor with a $10 two pack of spray cleaner. My car now with 110,000 miles just did the same thing yesterday 5/17/21 while in traffic code P2111. I cleaned the throttle body again even though it didn't look dirty compared to the first time. My car shut down three times today while in traffic. Each time I had to pull over with no power shut off the car and restart the engine. I will replace the throttle body but believe this is very serious defect and should have never happened at 75,000 miles or even at 110,000. Very dangerous and scary to drive far from home knowing how much it would cost to be towed and have to pay a shop to repair.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW. FIRST THE SEATS STOPPED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. NO WARRANTY ON THE CAR SO TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS OFF ITS TRACK. A MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THEY SAID MY SEAT STOPPED SENDING COMMANDS TO THE COMPUTER. NOW THREE MONTHS LATER MY CAR RANDOMLY STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. GOT LOUDER EVERY TIME I STARTED THE CAR. SO ONCE AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY NEARBY FORD. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID MY FLEX PLATE HAS CRACKED ALL AROUND AND THAT IT WOULD BE A $1600 REPAIR. THIS CAR IS STILL FAIRLY NEW. LOOKED INTO IT AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND FORD IS AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTION AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS BUT STILL HAS NOT MADE IT A RECALL. VERY UPSETTING THAT I WILL BE WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK AND HAVE TO PAY $1600 JUST TO GET IT FIXED WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE A MASS PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A OUTSIDE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE FLEXPLATE BUT THERE'S NO ONE AROUND THAT CAN DO THE JOB.

HE WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN FAULT IN THAT ENGINE THAT THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP - CRACK THE BLOCK. FORD HAS NOT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH I AM ABLE TO FIND NUMERORUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I OWE TOO MUCH TO JUST TRADE THE CAR IN TO BECOME SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED I DIDNT HAVE ANY HEAT AND MY COOLANT TEMP HIGH LIGHT CAME ON. SO WHEN I CHECKED THE COOLANT I DIDNT HAVE ANY AT ALL. NONE OF MY HOSES WERE LEAKING FROM ANYWHERE. I ADDED COOLANT TO IT AND DIDNT THINK NOTHING OF IT. TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE SAME THING HAPPENED. MY COOLANT TEMP HIGH LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I PULLED OVER I DIDNT HAVE ANY COOLANT WHATSOEVER. THE COOLANT HAS GOT TO BE GOING SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIGNS OF IT LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR OR ANY OF ITS HOSES.

Mileage: 83,000

A SITUATION THAT I ENCOUNTERED WITH MY 2016 FUSION WHEN IT HAD 55K MILES ON IT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE A ROUGH IDLE ON STARTUPS AND WOULD HAVE A ROUGH IDLE WHEN IT WAS STOPPED (EX. ON A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT, PARKED, ETC.). IT DID HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN THESE ISSUES OCCURRED AND SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET THE CODES CHECKED OUT AND IT DESCRIBED HAVING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER TWO. THE SHOP RECOMMENDED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO VISIT THE SHOP A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER BUT IN BETWEEN THOSE DAYS I NOTICED THICK WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE ROUGH IDLING STILL PERSISTED AND I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE FORD DEALER. AFTER TALKING WITH THE STAFF ABOUT MY ISSUE, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TO FIND OUT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS AND CAUSING THE ROUGH IDLE AND THE WHITE SMOKE. I DID GET THE ENGINE BLOCK REPLACED BUT WHAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THIS ISSUE CAN OCCUR AGAIN. ANOTHER THING I NOTICED WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WAS WHEN YOU TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD ACCELERATE SECONDS AFTER YOU PUSHED ON THE PEDAL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AT TIMES AND I FELT INSECURE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I KNOW MANY OTHER FUSION OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR FORD TO IGNORE THIS AND PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE.

STARTED TO LOSE COOLANT, COULDNT SEE ANYWHERE THAT IT WAS LEAKING, OR ANY SIGNS OF LEAKING. REFILLED THE COOLANT RESVOIR. DROVE TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, AND WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT FIRE. ONCE IT WAS MOVED ALL OF THE OIL HAD BEEN LAYING ON THE GROUND WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED. DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE JUNK AND WAS LOOSING COOLANT IN TO THE CYLINDER. SO NOW IM STUCK WITH A $200 A MONTH PAYMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED THAT HAS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CARE WITH THE 1.5L ECO BOOST TURBO... AND THERE STILL IS RECALL??? THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 130,000 MILES YET.

MY VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LIGHT APPEARED THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, BECOME SLUGGISH AND SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP (DELKERS AUTOMOTIVE 12198 LEWIS AVE, TEMPERANCE, MI 48182) WHO LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDER THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND CRACK. THERE WAS COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AT 73,000 MILES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BRONDES FORD AT 5545 SECOR ROAD TOLEDO, OH ON AUGUST 28TH. BRONDES FORD VERIFIED WHAT DELKER'S AUTOMOTIVE HAD FOUND, THE COOLENT LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO CRACK. BRONDES FORD TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD TRY TO FILE A CLAIM WITH FORD TO RECOUP SOME OF THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE AS I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, AT 73K MILES. I WAS TOLD BY FORD WHEN CALLING IN TO MAKE A CLAIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH ANY KIND OF MONETARY HELP, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS AS I DO NOT HAVE THE $8000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND HAVE RECEIVED NO HELP FROM FORD. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE ABOUT IT. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALL THAT ADDRESSES THE ENGINE ISSUE ON SAFETY RECALL # 17S09 FOR THE FORD FUSION 2013-2014 MODELS, AND THE FACT THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING IN LATER MODELS SHOWS THE ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED BY FORD, AND IS HONESTLY APPALLING THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

IN JUNE OF 2020 A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD; THEREFORE, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED. THEY ULTIMATELY UNCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN ENGINE DEFECT WITH MY 2.0 L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE DUE TO A COOLANT LEAK. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE IS WITHIN 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE CURRENT SAFETY RECALL. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON ALL OF THE 1.5 L THAT COVERS 2014 THROUGH 2019; HOWEVER, THE RANGE ON MY 2016 2.0 L FUSION BEGINS IN 2017. I REACHED OUT TO FORD AND THEY INDICATED THAT EVEN THOUGH I AM WITHIN 1.5-2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME WITH FINANCING MY OVER $7,000 REQUIRED ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND I AM QUITE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED YET. FURTHER, I AM WRITING THIS AS OF 11/1 AND IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 5 MONTHS SINCE I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX MY ENGINE AS THERE ARE OVER 8,000 OTHER RE-MANUFACTURED ENGINES ON BACK-ORDER DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES. THE COOLANT LEAK ISSUE IS AN INCREDIBLY SERIOUS ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO STALL OUT ON THE HIGH-WAY OR CITY STREETS. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I HOPE THAT OUR VOICES WILL SOON BE HEARD SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN AND BUILD. FOR REFERENCE ON THE TWO EXISTING ENGINE RECALLS NOTED ABOVE, PLEASE REFER TO THE FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS 19-2346 AND 19-2139. THANK YOU

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK ONE MORNING. I GOT MY CODE READER AND PLUGGED IT IN, IT SHOWED P0301 AND P0304 ( GENERIC CODE FOR MISFIRE ON CYLINDERS 1 AND 4). I FIGURED I HAD BAD SPARK PLUGS OR IGNITION COILS SO I REPLACED THEM WITH ALL NEW PARTS. DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AGAIN WHEN STARTING MY CAR. PLUGGED THE CODE READER BACK IN, SAME CODE READINGS. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN SO I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND THE SAME CODES. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSORS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I WAS ON MY WAY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF TO THEM FOR 5 DAYS. WHEN THEY CALLED ME BACK THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE I HAVE A CRACKED CYLINDER THAT IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE. THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS TRYING TO DENY MY CLAIM, STATING THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL AND I CHANGE IT WELL BEFORE THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATION. I FOLLOW ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS AND USE PREMIUM PRODUCTS SO I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT FROM IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE ENGINE TYPES AND I HAVE EVEN FOUND A FEW WEBSITES WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS ENTIRE EXPERIENCE/PROCESS HAS BEEN A GIANT HEADACHE. HOPEFULLY THERE IS A RESOLUTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

AT 78,000 MILES MY CAR HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON UPON STARTING THE ENGINE FOLLOWED BY A DROP IN POWER UPON STARTING IT. THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED OFF ON MY WAY TO THE SHOP, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY IT CAME ON AND TURNED OFF. ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN AND I HAD IT CHECKED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A 'CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE' WITH A ERROR CODE P0301. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS ALL REPLACED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER EXPERIENCING A DROP IN POWER UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. AND SHORTLY TURNED OFF AGAIN. I THEN RECEIVED A 'HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE' WARNING WHILE DRIVING, AND MADE A STOP TO REFILL MY COOLANT HOUSING TO THE 'MAX' LINE. NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED THE SAME 'HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE' WARNING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN EMISSIONS OF WHITE SMOKE OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES. THERE WAS NO 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' ON DURING OR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. HE DETERMINED THAT THE COOLANT MAY BE LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER 1 CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE AND EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THIS CAR WAS METICULOUSLY CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED AND SOMEHOW HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET BEFORE REACHING 80,000 MILES. THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED.

ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS MY CAR LITERALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON A BUSY ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE SHUT OFF APPARENTLY WAS DUE TO AN ENGINE COOLANT FAILURE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD THAT COOLANT IS MORE THAN LIKELY LEAKING AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON 2016 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST CAME ON. DIAGNOSTICS DISPLAYED CODE P300. I PAID TO HAVE THIS FIXED 2 TIMES. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND THEY ADVISED IT WAS A COOLANT LEAK IN THE ENGINE. THEY ADVISED IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT WOULDN'T FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS UP ON THE VEHICLE. UPON DOING RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS IDLING ROUGH SO I TOOK IT BY AUTOZONE TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED P0300, CYLINDER MISFIRE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF SO THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS THINKING THIS WOULD FIX IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, WITH THE ADDITION OF WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST, WHILE IDLING. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE SECOND TIME, THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE AND IT WASN'T SMOKING. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT IDLED ROUGH AND THEN DIED. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, ON A CITY STREET, WHITE SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE SMOKE WAS SO THICK THAT I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING BEHIND ME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY INFORMED ME THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO ONE OF THE CYLINDERS AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $7,300. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS WAITING FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TSB 19-2346 ADDRESSES THE ISSUE BUT THE VEHICLE OWNER STILL HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF THEY DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY OR IT DOESN'T COVER IT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE CODE WAS P0304, WHICH IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 4. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DUE FOR A CHANGE, SO I CHANGED THEM, THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER USED WHEN FILLING UP. THE NEW SPARK PLUGS DID NOT MAKE THE ENGINE LIGHT GO AWAY AFTER CLEARING THE CODE. I TESTED THE IGNITION COILS, AND THEY ARE FINE. ALSO, THE COOLANT LEVEL IS OFTEN LOW, AND I HAVE TO PUT A QUART IN A WEEK. IT IS NOT LEAKING FROM ANYWHERE. I STARTED RESEARCHING, AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER FORD FUSIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO A CYLINDER, AND GIVING THE MISFIRE ON A CERTAIN CYLINDER CODE.

THEY PERFORMED RECALLS BUT AS FAR THE ISSUE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THEY SAID, THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. AND DIRECTLY AFTER TELLING ME THIS AND ME LEAVING I GET A CALL FROM THE SALES DEPARTMENT TRYING TO SET UP AND APPOINTMENT TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE! SO NOW I'M OF THE MINDSET THAT SOMETHING IS FISHY. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC I KNOW, DURING THAT RIDE MY CAR BEGINS TO OVERHEAT, OFF AND ON. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC HE RAN HIS DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME YEAH MY I HAVE A SPARK PLUG THAT'S OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I GET THAT DONE, EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS. THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS (CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE AND OVERHEATING) AT THIS POINT I DON'T TRUST FORD CAUSE THEY NEW THEY AT LEAST KNEW THE SPARK PLUGS WAS OUT. BACK TO THE MECHANIC I GO, HE THEN LET'S ME KNOW THAT THERE'S A NOTICE OUT DESCRIBING THE ISSUE SO HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD TO SEE IF THEY'D FIX IT. AGAIN FORD 'KNEW NOTHING' OF THE SORT. AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED AND WON'T START AND IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ISSUES THE CAR HAS HAD. NOW HERE I AM TRYING TO FIND THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION AND NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR.

WITHIN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE HAD TO TWO MY CAR TWICE. BOTH TIMES WERE DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE. MY PROBLEM BEGAN WEDNESDAY JULY 1, 2020 WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH. TO GIVE CONTEXT MY CAR HAD BEEN STARTING PRETTY ROUGHLY FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS. AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I HAD A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TEST IT AND IT CAME BACK SHOWING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. I WAS TOLD THAT I MORE THAN LIKELY NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A NEW IGNITION COIL. THE CODE WAS RESET UNTIL I COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT WAS THE WEEKEND OF JULY 4TH I WAS UNABLE TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT. THE NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY JULY 7, 2020 MY CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AGAIN TO HAVE THE PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED. ON STARTING MY CAR WHITE SMOKE APPEARED. I INFORMED THE SHOP THAT MY CAR HAD NEVER EXHIBITED THIS BEFORE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS ALSO NEED AN ENGINE FLUSH AS WELL. ALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AND PAID FOR WITH THE PRICE BEING 700.00. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER RECEIVING MY CAR BACK THE ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AGAIN. I BEGAN THE DRIVE TO RETURN IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP. WHILE ON THE WAY MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND DISPLAYED A WARNING MESSAGE STATING "ENGINE COOLANT FAILURE". I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANEUVER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE AGAIN HAD IT TOWED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE ENGINE WAS BUILT WHICH HAD ALLOWED COOLANT TO GET INTO THE CYLINDERS. I WAS TOLD THE CHARGE FOR THIS ISSUE WOULD BE ABOUT 8,000.00.

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO THE ENGINE WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE CYLINDER. THE SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE LONG BLOCK OF THE ENGINE.

2016 FORD FUSION WAS SPUTTERING WHEN STARTED AND KILLED ONCE. I HAD RECENTLY BROUGHT IT TO FORD AND MY COOLANT WAS VERY LOW. THEY SAID MY SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. GOT IT BACK AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS WORSE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD THEY THEN TOLD ME MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT WAS IN MY CYLINDERS AND ON SPARK PLUGS. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT ADDRESS THIS WHEN THEY CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS 3 DAYS PRIOR. YOU KNOW DARN GOOD AND WELL THEY SAW THIS AND DID A COMPRESSION TEST ON MY CYLINDERS. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY FORD FUSIONS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE MY ENGINE WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN DEFAULT.

ONE DAY, THE ENGINE STARTING RUNNING ROUGH WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT PULLED A CODE P02300, WHICH MEANS THE #2 CYLINDER IS MISFIRING.

SO THIS STARTED JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO I NOTICED I HAD LOW COOLANT, I HAD SERVICED MY CAR RECENTLY SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY JUST FORGOT TO ADD SOME, IT WASN'T BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE BUT IT WAS GETTING NEAR SO I TOPPED IT OFF, WELL NOT I NOTICE MY COOLANT IS LEAKING FURTHER MORE AND MORE, I'VE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO RECALL ISSUES THERE SHOULD BE, PEOPLE ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT AND I FEAR I'M GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ALSO, THEY CLAIM THE 2ND PISTON GOES OUT DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE.

ON FEBRUARY 11TH 2020, I PURCHASED A 2016 FORD FUSION WITH 73,000 MILES FROM AMERICAN CAR CENTER IN WEST COLUMBIA, S C. ON FEBRUARY 23RD I WAS RIDING ON I26 AND MY CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND ALL MY ANTIFREEZE AND AND WATER WAS SPOUTING OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. I PUT ENOUGH WATER BACK IN IT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS ON BROAD RIVER ROAD, COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE THERMOSTAT AND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. PEP BOYS HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS TO REPAIR. I GET THE CAR BACK ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2020. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL MARCH 12TH. THAT MORNING I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HEARD A BLUNT SOUND COMING FROM MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT TO WORK. WHEN I LEFT WORK FOR THE DAY, THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I ONCE AGAIN PULLED OVER AND GOT ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT TO THE CAR DEALER. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER ONE OF THE SALESMAN WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CODES CAME BACK WITH A FUEL ISSUE. I THEN DROPPED THE CAR OFF TO RICHARDS AUTO REPAIR IN WEST COLUMBIA, CAROLINA, HE DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TUBE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE DID THE WORK AND THE CAR RAN OK. ON MARCH 22, WHILE DRIVING, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED MOVING TORWARD THE H MEANING THE CAR IS RUNNING HOT AGAIN. I RECORDED A VIDEO OF THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOVING UP AND DOWN AND ALSO THE "POWER REDUCED TO LOWER ENGINE TEMP" MESSAGE CAME ON ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF ONCE PARKED AND DID NOT START IT AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. ON MARCH 24TH, I WAS OUTSIDE OF A LOCAL STORE AND IN PARK AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOVED AGAIN TO THE H WHILE THE CAR WAS ON AND IDLING. *LN CONSUMER STATED CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN ON APRIL 11TH.*JB

MY CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN I'M AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A COMMENT COMES ON THE DASH THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE " TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT WORDS BECAUSE WHENEVER IT DOES IT I'M LOOKING TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE SO I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER GOING 70 MPH. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

I DRIVE A 2016 FORD FUSION SE AWD WITH THE 2.0L ECOBOOST/GTDI MOTOR. I WAS AT A GAS STATION REFUELING MY VEHICLE, WITH THE 87 OCTANE FUEL THE OEM CALLS FOR ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 1/4 TANK BEFORE REFUELING AND I FILLED MY TANK UNTIL FULL. UPON STARTING MY CAR, I ALWAYS TURN THE KEY RIGHT BEFORE IGNITION AND WAIT FOR THE FUEL PUMPS TO DRAW GAS TO THE MOTOR, THEN START IT. STARTED SEEMINGLY FINE, HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS RESETTING MY MILEAGE TRIP COUNTERS, I NOTICED, AND FELT MY RPM'S DROP DOWN INTO THE 300-400 AREA AND MY MOTOR SHOOK MY CAR. I KIND OF WAS SURPRISED AS MY CAR HAD NEVER DONE THIS, SO I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS JUST AN ENGINE STUTTER. BUT THEN UPON WAITING A FEW MORE SECONDS, IT DID IT AGAIN, 4 MORE TIMES AND FELT LIKE MY MOTOR WAS READY TO STALL OUT. I WAS STILL PARKED/STATIONARY BESIDE A GAS PUMP SO I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO GO PARK MYSELF IN AN ACTUAL SPOT SO I WASN'T IN THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. I KEPT MY CAR RUNNING IN PARK TO SEE IF THE RPM'S WOULD DROP AGAIN, BUT UPON WAITING FIVE MINUTES, IT DID NOT. THE RPM'S WERE A BIT WOBBLY THOUGH ON THE TACHOMETER BUT DID NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DROP. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. I WASN'T TAKING ANY CHANCES, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. TURNS OUT, MY CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. SOUNDS ALL TOO FAMILIAR, ACCOUNTING THAT FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH MANY FORD FOCUS MODELS, WITH THE EXACT SAME MOTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN CRASH/INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. NO LIGHT CAME ON FOR ME AND I ONLY CAUGHT IT BECAUSE I WAS SUPERSTITIOUS ENOUGH TO BRING IT IN REGARDLESS. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, IT IS LITERALLY THE SAME ISSUE AND I'M BAFFLED AS TO HOW HIS HASN'T BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL BY NOW. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS FACED THIS ISSUE, SO PLEASE, I ASK FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND DEEMED A RECALL AS IT'S A BIG ISSUE.

RICHMOND FORD LINCOLN REFUSED TO SERVICE ME AND TAKE MY CASE NUMBER WHILE BELITTLING CORPORATE THE ENTIRE WAY. I ALSO RECEIVED THE INCORRECT NAME FROM ONE EMPLOYEE. THIS RECALL PROCESS HAS BEEN EXCRUCIATING AND AS A FORD CONSUMER THIS BEING MY SECOND FORD. I AM DEBATING IF THE COMPANY EVEN VALUES ME, I DEFINITELY CAN'T TELL AFTER CONTINUALLY ASKING FOR AN UPDATE. THE LAST REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH SAID IT ISN'T HIS DEPARTMENT AND SOMEONE WOULD REACH OUT TO ME. HE SAID THAT THE DAY BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEPS ARE BUT FORD IS NOT ASSISTING DURING THIS RECALL SITUATION.

WHEN I GOT HOME FROM PICKING MY FRIEND'S DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL YESTERDAY, I PULLED INTO THE GARAGE AND TRIED TO PLACE MY VEHICLE IN PARK. AS MY SHIFTER WENT PAST REVERSE IT TURNED ON THE BACK UP CAMERA ON AND STAYED IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH MY SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I COULDN'T LET OFF THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT CONTINUED TO BACK UP WHEN I DID, SO I PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PICKING MY FRIEND'S DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL, THERE WERE KIDS EVERYWHERE AND I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE. MY CAR IS A 2016 FORD FUSION TITANIUM, FORD ISSUED A RECALL NUMBERED 18S20 FOR SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS GOING BAD IN FORD FUSIONS BETWEEN 2013 AND 2016. I CALLED FORD BUT APPARENTLY MY CARS VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT ISSUE THAT THEY ISSUED THE RECALL FOR, HAPPENED TO MY CAR AND MY CAR IS BETWEEN THOSE YEARS LISTED. THE SHIFTER CABLE CAME OFF AND DIDN'T ALLOW MY CAR TO GO INTO PARK. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

AN IMMEDIATE RESTART OF THE ENGINE DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE, BUT AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, ALLOWING FOR FULL USE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD "FAILED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THAT FORD HAS HAD AN ISSUE ON OLDER YEAR THROTTLE BODIES AND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THOSE. I AM HOPING THAT THESE NEWER VEHICLES WILL BE LOOKED AT, AND IF THE ISSUE IS STILL PREVALENT THE RECALL CHANGED TO INCLUDE THEM.

IN MAY OF 2017 MY TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK FORWARD SEVERELY WHEN EVER I TRIED TO PUT ON THE GAS. A FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED/FIXED MY TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTEE AT THE TIME. NOW, LESS THEN 2 YEARS LATER AND 22,000 MILES LATER THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO A MACHINIC WHO SAID TO FIX IT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BASICALLY DO THE EXACT SAME THING THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT! NOW I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTEE I HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION JUST A YEAR AFTER GETTING THE CAR, BUT THEN NEEDING ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION LESS THEN 2 YEARS LATER IS NOT RIGHT? FORD HAD BEEN NO HELP!

ALSO STATED THAT UNLESS THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. THE VEHICLE LEASING COMPANY (ENTERPRISE) HAS NOT ISSUED ANY NOTICES STATING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. NHTSA 9/19/2016, BLACKLICK, OH, IS SIMILAR ISSUE.

I PURCHASED IT FROM A DIFFERENT DEALER IN ROSEVILLE, CA. THEY SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER IN HENDERSON. THE DEALER REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY - ATTACHING THE REPAIR INVOICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ONLINE AND THAT FORD SOMEHOW STOPPED NORTH CAROLINA FROM FORCING THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS.

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND VERY SCARY. I CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS YET.

FOR THE SECOND TIME MY FORD FUSION'A ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED. DURING BOTH OCCURRENCES THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE STRUCK BY OTHER VEHICLES. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE IN BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND WELL KNOWN OF BY FORD AND THE NHTSA. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REPROGRAM THE ECU DESPITE ME ASKING THEM ABOUT THE ETB. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THE NHTSA AND FORD ARE FAILING TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATION TO CONSUMER SAFETY BY PUSHING THIS ISSUE ASIDE.

THE VEHICLE STARTS RUNNING ROUGH, STEERING BECOMES LOOSE, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE MESSAGE 'CHECK OWNERS MANUAL', THEN THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE AT LOW SPEED ~35 MPH AND ONCE AT HIGH SPEED ~70 MPH. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE FORD DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODE SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM WITH A RECALL 16B32. I WILL DROP IT OFF THIS MORNING FOR THE 3RD TIME.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FUSION THAT I PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. IT HAS LOST POWER FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST THREE DAYS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN IT, TWICE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HEADING TO AND FROM DALLAS FOR WORK. A WRENCH WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD, A MESSAGE SAYING "SEE MANUAL" WILL POP UP, AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE. I CANNOT PULL THE VEHICLE OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS THIS PAST MONDAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE CAR WOULD BE FINE AFTERWARDS. ON MY WAY HOME YESTERDAY, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WORK NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON BECAUSE OF CONSTRICTION, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AND MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED ANOTHER PART AND ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. MY ISSUE IS NOT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM TWICE REGARDING MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALLBACK. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD, BUT THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL. DO I HAVE TO DIE IN MY VEHICLE ON 35E IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT PUTS MY FAMILY'S AND MY LIFE IN IMMINENT AND SUBSTANTIAL DANGER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I ISSUE. I CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE AND CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ENGINE IDLED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 1000 AND 2500 RPM'S. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN "SEE MANUAL". THE CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION AT ALL AND I HAD TO COAST THROUGH SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. ALL ELECTRICAL REMAINED WORKING. JUST NO ENGINE POWER AT ALL. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP, IT STRUGGLED TO START AT FIRST. WHILE DRIVING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED TWICE MORE. DURING NORMAL DRIVING. NO INTENSE ACCELERATION. CRUISING TRAFFIC AT AROUND 65 MPH. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO LOOSE ALL ACCELERATOR POWER IN THE MIDDLE OFT OF A 5 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS TRYING TO DRIFT ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC AS I DID NOT WANT TO USE THE BREAK AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS VERY AFRAID THERE WOULD BE A CRASH. SEVERAL OF MY COWORKERS THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. DRIVING AND SUDDEN POWER LOSS. LUCKILY NO INJURIES OR CRASHES TO DATE. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY BUT OUR FLEET COMPANY ELEMENT NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, NOR PASSED THAT ONTO US.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS GROWN. I HAVE DOCUMENTED PROOF THAT DATES BACK TO MARCH 2016. THIS ISSUE IS AN ESCALATION OF OLD PROBLEM THAT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IS AN ISSUE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. ON 9/03/2016, I WAS DRIVING ON WEST GEORGIA RD IN SIMPONVILLE SC WHEN ALL IF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED. THEN A WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS TRAILING BEHIND US OR I'M SURE IT WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF US. I SAY THIS BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS PEDAL SO A CAR BEHIND ME WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN TO SLOW DOWN TIL TOO LATE. I HAD JUST TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFOR FOR A SECOND TIME DUE TO CAR STALLING RIGHT AFTER A TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. EACH TIME TO BE TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BE TURNED OFF. EACH TIME SERVICE PERSON SAYS BRING IT BACK IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING OR HAS A RED DOT BECAUSE SOMETHING THEN IS WRONG. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO FORD. A MANAGER CALLS ME AND I RETURN HER CALL. SHE ASKS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND I TELL HER. I ALSO TELL HER FORD HAD AN ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR THAT AT ANYTIME MAY LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I PRAY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AFTER RESEARCHING IT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS A TOYOTA OR HONDA. SHE SUGGESTS I TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHICH I SAY I ALREADY HAVE PLANS TO. BUT SHE ALSO SAY TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME TO GIVE POINTERS ON HOW TO DRIVE TO AVOID THE STALLS. MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT A STALL. IT WAS A LIST OF POWER WHILE DRIVING A CAR I PURCHASED NEW LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE 2ND DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. IT CAN BE REPAIRED BUT APPOINTMENT NOT TIL 21ST. PLUS NO LOANER CAR. I HAVE TO WORK TO LIVE AND PAR FOR THAT CAR. FORD NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE THERE'S A DEATH.

2016 FORD FUSION, 2.5L ENGINE, 10,500 MILES. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE ROAD, CONSTANT SPEED, 55MPH, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE STALLING. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT TURNED ON, I CYCLED THE IGNITION AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. AFTER STOPPING FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, I CONTINUED ON MY JOURNEY HOME ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY INTO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY STALLING OF THE ENGINE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I RECYCLED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT STALLING ONLY BY PUSHING THE THROTTLE VERY LIGHTLY. I GOT THE CAR HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY USING VERY LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION. DEALER VERIFIED ISSUE AND REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY: "VERIFIED STALLING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IDS RETRIEVE CODE P2112, PERFORMED PPT DV, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY PER PPT. CLEARED CODE AND RETEST. SYSTEM PASSED"

MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE FUSION ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY RAMP (ROUTE 22 IN SPRINGFIELD NJ) TO GO DORM SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL. UPON ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING ON THE RAMP THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION WHILE PRESSING DOWN IN THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE BEHIND HER BEGAN TO ACCELERATE; THE FUSION THEN LOST ALL POWER, THE VEHICLE STUCK HER IN THE REAR AND PUSHED MY DAUGHTERS FUSION INTO AN ACTIVE LANE WITH TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 55 MPH AND UP. THERE WAS MINOR AESTHETIC DAMAGE TO THE FUSION. BUT THAT IS NOT MY CONCERN IN THE LEAST! THE FUSION WAS STUCK ON AN ACTIVE HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY, MY DAUGHTER COULD OR SHOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! THIS IS THE DEMARCATION OF A NEAR MISS! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE 'WRENCH ICON' THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THEN THERE ARE 100'S OF ARTICLES PERTAINING TO INJURIES AND FATALITIES DUE FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES! FORD SALES FAILED TO MENTION THAT DURING THE SALE! I STOPPED AT FORD SERVICE THIS MORNING TO ADVISE THEM OF THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED 'AH YEAH GOTTA BE THE THROTTLE BODY' 'HAPPENS ALL THE TIME' 'THERE WAS A BAD BATCH'!

ON (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS NOW MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET AND GIVEN ME THE "WRENCH" CHECK OWNERS MANUAL ALERT ON THE DISPLAY. AS I DO ALL I CAN TO GET OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND OFF THE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR SPUTTERS, SHAKES AND STALLS OUT. TURN OFF THE KEY, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR (SO ALL ELECTRONICS ARE OFF) AND SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT STARTS AND IT RUNS FINE. SOME TIMES, IT STARTS AND SHAKES AND SPUTTERS AND STALLS. ON ALL OCCASIONS, I HAVE EVENTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO "LIMP" HOME. THE LAST TIME (3RD TIME) I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE SHOP TOLD ME THIS IS THE 5TH OR 6TH 2016 FORD CAR (FUSION, FIESTA OR FOCUS) THIS MONTH WITH THE SAME ISSUE. 2ND FUSION AND THE ONE PRIOR TO MINE HAD 400 MILES ON IT! THINKS IT'S EITHER THE THROTTLE BODY OR THE THROTTLE BODY POSITIONING SENSOR. HAS THROWN CODES P2111 AND P2112. (ONE MEANS FLAP IS OPEN, ONE MEANS FLAP IS CLOSED) IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS AND I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD I'M LOOKING AT ANOTHER 6 AT A MINIMUM. (THIS IS NOT THE SHOP'S FAULT IN MY OPINION AS THEY HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT NICE AND CONSIDERATE TO ME) DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS BUT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

MY BRAND NEW FORD FUSION SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA! I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO PRESS THE GAS. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VERY BADLY AND I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO STEER THE CAR ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS THE WORSE AND MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD.

THIS CAR HAD APPROX 2400 AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN A STEEP GRADE ON 4/23/16 THE CAR CHIMED 4 0R 5 TIMES . I ASKED MY WIFE IF SHE KNEW WHAT THE SOUND WAS AND SHE SAID NO. ABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS LATER I TOLD MY WIFE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. AND I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND IT WAS BLANK. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED THE CAR. IT TURNED ON. I CONTINUED DRIVING ABOUT 300 MILES AFTER THIS INCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MADISON FORD IN OHIO TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY COULDNT FIND ANY CODES. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH THE CAR. THEY CALLED ME BACK ON TUES AND SAID BRING THE CAR BACK . THIS TIME THEY FOUND 6 CODES. BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING STATING THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE THE CAR 60 MILES OR SO AND SAID THE CAR WAS FINE. I CALLED CLASSIC FORD IN MENTOR OH AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND INFORMED HIM I WAS BRINGING THE CAR THERE TO BE SERVICED. THE ADVISOR SAID HE WOULDNT BE WORKING 4/29 AND HE WOULD INFORM THE SERVICE MGR OF THE PROBLEM. ICALLED FRIDAY AND SPOKE TO MARK THE MGR. HE SAID HE TALKED TO THE PEOPLE AT MADISON FORD . HE TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN MONDAY MAY 2 BUT WE ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AND IF WE CANT FIND ANYTHING THEN THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU.

TODAY MAY 1 I STARTED THE CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR 3 MINS AND WITH MY WIFE IN THE CAR PULLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT MY WIFE SAID I WOULDVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE I WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN TO DO WHAT YOU DID. THESE ARE SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUES AND MY WIFE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TELL ME THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR.

2016 FORD FUSION RECEIVED FROM DEALER ON DEC 2015. AT 39 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, FUSION WOULD NOT START, AND ALL ALARMS CAME ON (LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE OVERHEAT, PARKING BRAKE, PARKING SENSORS, ETC). CAR STARTED AFTER HITTING OK AND SEVERAL MORE CRANKS. FEB 2015 - AT ABOUT 2500 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND THE THIRD TIME WAS AT 3000 MILES, ALL WITH THE SAME EXACT ALARM BEHAVIOR. THE FOURTH TIME OCCURRED ON MARCH 7, 2016 WITH 3200 MILES ON ODOMETER; THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE GOING 45MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER, NO STEERING POWER, NO POWER BRAKES, NOTHING BUT ALARMS. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS AND NO REPORTED DIAGNOSTIC CODES. FORD HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES WITH THE CAR IN THEIR POSSESSION, BUT THEY REFUSED TO CONDUCT LONG-TERM DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY WERE NOT ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S GOING INTO THE DEALER AND NOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE IN OPERATION.
