2017 Ford Fusion

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON INDICATING A MISFIRE IN ENGINE 3. FORD DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED NEW SPARKPLUGS AND IGNITION COIL. I COMPLETED THE REPAIR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. AFTER FEW DAYS, THE ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I CHECKED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR AND IT WAS NEAR EMPTY. PAID FORD AGAIN TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THIS TIME THEY IDENTIFIED COOLANT INTRUSION IN ENGINE 4 CAUSED BY INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK. THE RECOMMENDATION IS A NEW REMAN FORD ENGINE WITH THE ESTIMATE OF $5000.

BACKUP CAMERA ONLY PERFORMS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE IMAGE APPEARS DISTORTED OR NOT SHOW AT ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE JULY 2020. THERE IS NEVER ANY SPECIFIC MOMENTS THAT CAUSE THE CAMERA TO NOT PERFORM SUCH AS TYPE OF ROADS DRIVEN DOWN, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, WEATHER OR TIME OF DAY, IT IS JUST OCCURS SPORADICALLY.

SHIFT DIAL GET STUCK IN PARK, WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK EVEN WITH THE OVERRIDE, HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE, BOTH TIMES THERE WAS "NO PROBLEMS," AND THE SHOP ALWAYS IT WORKS WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DROPS IT OFF. IT HAPPENS ON AND OFF, NEVER GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE OR THROWS A CODE. COULD BE DRIVING ONE MINUTE, GET HOME, SHUT THE CAR OFF, A COUPLE HOURS LATER GET BACK IN, AND IT DOESN'T SHIFT ANYMORE. IT'S EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND CONSIDERING THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS "THIS HAPPENS A LOT" I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T RECALL THE FAULTY CABLE OR RELAY OR TRANSMISSION OR SHIFT DIAL IF IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE AFTER TAKING IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS, THEY ALL HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE ISSUE, JUST TO "DEAL WITH IT". AND THE FACT THAT THE OVERRIDE DOESN'T WORK IS A BIG PROBLEM. BUT FORD DOES THEIR THING AND I GUESS WON'T RECALL SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM ON MANY OF THEIR 2017 FORD FUSION SE'S EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I GUESS THAT'S FORD, MORE ABOUT PUMPING CRAP CARS OUT THAN THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THEM SAFE WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS ON MULTIPLE 2017 FORD FUSIONS.

VEHICLE CODES STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD ( TEMP LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT) WARNING SIGNS ALSO APPEARED ( OVERHEATING IN ENGINE ) ENGINE COOLANT STARTED TO DECREASE NO LEAK WAS DETECTED. IT WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO GET EVALUATED AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY INTO THE CAR WHICH CAUSED OTHER ISSUES. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FEBRUARY 2020 SO 8 MONTHS LATER THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY CRASHED. WHITE SMOKE IS ALSO EXPELLING FROM THE VEHICLE EXHAUST. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE BURNING UP THEY WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 8 DAYS AGO AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY BURNED WHITE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH 3 CODES P051B PERTAINING TO THE CRANKCASE PRESSURE SENSOR, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I'VE NOTICED THAT THE 1.5L ECOBOOST 2017 FORD ESCAPE HAS A RECALL BUT NOT THE 1.5L ECOBOOST 2017 FORD FUSION, THE SYSTEM FAILED TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. RECALL NEEDED DUE TO FAULT OF FORD MANUFACTURING/EQUIPMENT. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON DURING ONE OF MY DAILY COMMUTES BACK HOME FROM UNIVERSITY.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ON GORDON DR IN RUSTON, LOUISIANA WHEN AN ANIMAL ENTERED THE ROAD SO I STEERED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID THE ANIMAL AND SUDDENLY LOSS CONTROL OF STEERING. THIS CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO A DITCH WITH A CEMENT DRAIN. MY CAR PROCEEDED TO DRAG ON THE GROUND SO I DID NOT DRIVE IT AND REPORTED IT TO INSURANCE AND IT WAS DECLARED TOTALED.

I WAS IN A THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE THRU AND I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY GEAR SHIFTER WAS FLASHING IN ALL THE GEARS AND ON THE DASH IT WAS SAYING SHIFT SYSTEM FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED. I COULDN'T PUT IT IN ANY GEAR. IT WOULDN'T START UNTIL SOME GUY CAME OVER AND SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS FORD FUSION. HE KNEW HOW TO GET IT BACK IN PARK AND SHOWED ME WHAT HAPPENED. HE HAS SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PART.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FUSION 2.0 ECO BOOST WITH 77,000 MILES THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON.THE LIGHT WENT OFF A FEW DAYS LATER BUT I HAD ALREADY MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. THEY'VE ALSO DONE ALL OF THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND INJECTORS CLEAND, SO THEY DID THE WORK AND CHARGED ME $400. AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, I RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM. IT'S 2000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRRANTY I PURCHASED. AFTER THEY HAD IT A FEW DAYS THEY DETERMINED IT HAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYCLINDER NUMBER 1. THE REPAIR WAS $6,236.92 TO FIX. I WAS ABLE TO PERSUADE THE DEALERSHIP INTO HAVING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY PAY HALF. MY PART WAS $3236.92
