2017 Ford Fusion

MY 2017 FUSION, WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE BEGAN USING COOLANT, REPLACED SPARK PLUG IN 2ND CYLINDER AND CONTINUALLY HAVE TO ADD COOLANT TO KEEP CAR FROM OVERHEATING. CAR SHUT DOWN AND OVERHEATED ON WAY HOME FROM WORK. ADDED EVEN MORE COOLANT. FORD NOW TELLS ME WE HAVE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE AND WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE CAR HAS 80K MILES ON IT. $5900 NEW ENGINE BECAUSE A KNOWN ISSUE HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF COOLANT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TAYLOR FORD OF MANTENO (222 S LOCUST ST, MANTENO, IL 60950) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. HE WAS THEN REFERRED TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

VEHICLE HAD 62579 MILES WHEN IT THREW A P1299 CODE FOR ENGINE OVERHEAT. FORD CHECKED AND SAID THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDERS AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 1.5 L ECO BOOST ENGINE AS PER TSB 20-2100. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO BEING OVER 60000 MILES. FROM RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE FORD HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND IT AND FIX IT AS THEY SHOULD.

I HAVE A 2017 FORD FUSION TITANIUM WITH THE 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE THAT HAS 72,890 MILES. I EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED AND SHOWED THE CODE P0302 WHICH IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. WHEN I PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PLACE OF BUSINESS WHERE I HAD THE LIGHT CHECKED WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT OF MY EXHAUST UPON START UP AND WAS STILL COMING OUT BY THE TIME I DROVE HOME. I PROCEEDED TO DO MY RESEARCH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS FOLLOWING AND FOUND OUT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD WILL ONLY COVER IF UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY TIME FRAME JUST AS MUCH AS WITH IN THE WARRANTY WINDOW. I PROCEEDED TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING I STATED ABOVE IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PCM SELF-TEST SHOWING P0217 ENGINE OVER TEMPERATURE CONDITION WAS DETECTED, AND THE ENGINE LONG BLOCK ASSEMBLY DOES HAVE TO BE REPLACED.NOTHING SHOWED UP ON MY DASH TO WARN ME OF OVERHEATING OR ANYTHING OF THE NATURE. ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED.

MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY, I TURNED IT ON AND IT MADE A ROUGH SOUND STARTING UP. I THEN NOTICED MY CAR WAS SHAKING AND THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON, SO I ELECTED TO NOT DRIVE IT TO ENSURE NO FURTHER DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. I CONSULTED WITH TWO MECHANICS WHO BOTH STATED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM MY SPARK PLUGS, CAUSED BY FLUID IN MY CYLINDERS, AND THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THEY PLUGGED CODE READERS IN THAT INDICATED THAT MY SECOND CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I FOUND MANY OTHER CARS OF MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, SOME OF WHICH STATED FIRES AND OTHER SERIOUS DANGERS AND WERE ALL WITHIN 15,000 MILES OF USAGE AS MY CAR. I AM DISCOURAGED AND DISAPPOINTED BY THE FACT THAT I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR A CORPORATION TO NEGLECT THEIR MISTAKES AND LAND ME WITH A 400 DOLLAR CAR PAYMENT ON A NONFUNCTIONAL VEHICLE THAT COULD'VE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. I INTEND TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH, 2021 TO DISCUSS MY OPTIONS.
