2017 Ford Fusion

I had the car about 3 months when the first service light appeared. Misfire - replaced the cylinder. But 2 months later service light came on again for same issue. Ford Dealership said it was coolant intrusion. Car repeatedly overheats. Service engine light comes on/stays on. Temperature gauge will indicate high temp, then will drop to normal seconds later, then shoot to the top again. At times engine will decrease power, and I have to pull over and park until engine cools, no matter where it happens. I don't feel safe driving on the highway, or any distance more than 20 miles or so. I am also afraid to park in the garage at night in case it's too hot. Ford dealership says it needs a new engine. Called Ford Customer Service but my VIN was not on the service action 19B37 or 21N12 (even though it was manufactured at a listed plant on the listed dates) so they would not assist in covering it.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light and several other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted on the third attempt; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 156,782.

The vehicle experienced engine failure due to engine coolant intruding into the cylinders. This was formally diagnosed by a Ford Dealership service team after the vehicle broke down on the side of the highway. This is the exact issue outlined in TSB #22-2229. The check engine light was activated indicating there was an issue. I filled up the coolant basin with a gallon of the manufacturer recommended coolant, and within 6 days, all the coolant was gone and the engine shut down when I was driving at approximately 50mph. Ford Corporate will not lend any financial assistance for the repairs, which is a complete engine replacement. This replacement costs between $7,000-$10,000.

My car is experiencing the issue noted in Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229 (09-June-2022). My car leaks engine coolant into the engine/cylinders causing an excessive draining of coolant, overheating the engine, and shutting off the car. Specifically, my engine overheated and shut off, making the car undriveable. I was forced off the road on a single lane highway with speed limits of 55mph. This occurred at [XXX] on Friday, [XXX]. The area where the care came to rest was not particularly safe due to the narrow roads and high speed limit. The check engine light came on when this issue became a problem. My car was inspected by Bull Valley Ford in Woodstock, IL. They diagnosed that the issue is indeed the same issue in TSB 22-2229. The quoted price to repair is $7,000.00.

Was out of town when I went to shift out of Park, and I received a SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE. My car was stuck in reverse and could only shift into neutral. The shift cable bushing had dry rotted and snapped. This item was recalled on previous fusions up to the 2016 model year, yet the same part was used through the 2020 model year. ALL of these items need to be recalled. They are all defective.

Coolant was leaking into the Engine. This is a known issue with this make and model of the Ford Fusion, yet not all the engines were recalled. Ford told us this was a known issue, but we received no notification of this being a potential issue. We have taken our vehicle to Ford since we bought it new in 2017, and nothing was ever said. Now that the engine has the issue that is part of the recall, Ford would not take any responsibility for it and refused to help pay for the repairs. If the engine is doing exactly what the recall was for, then Ford should be held responsible for the repairs.
