I routinely take my car to get oil changes and check for any other problems. So 2 days after getting my oil changed at a dealership my car began to overheat which shouldn’t have happened because when I got my oil changed they filled the liquids to proper levels. So I added antifreeze because my reservoir was empty once cooled I opened my reservoir and antifreeze began to come back up to the proper level. After getting it home that same thing happened and haven’t moved it since. Now my car shakes and the overheating light stays on. There is no visible leak and I don’t know where the antifreeze goes. My car is only about 3 years old and I don’t believe this should be happening. I take good care of my car routine check ups and oil changes. After doing some research online I’ve seen so many people with my same car reporting the same issue. I believe this problem has been recalled in older years (2014-2016) unsure of exact years but I believe it wasn’t fixed and now has cause major stress for me because I only have one car. Please look into this because right now I’m out of a car and I don’t know what to do and I am still paying on it and can’t even drive it.

2019 Ford Fusion SE. Car kept stalling and running hot. I took it in and there’s coolant in the cylinders, which means new engine. Haven’t had the car a year and a half. Chevy sent me to Ford, Ford wants my extended warranty to pay for it. If it does, I’ll be capped off and still have to come up with $1000!!

The flywheel apparently broke and messed up the crankshaft as well as the front pump in the transmission. Which in turn caused the transmission to slip out of gear and kill while being operated on a busy interstate requiring a tow home and then to ford service for diagnostics. With repairs totaling in excess of $8000.

I had my flexplate fail twice within 12500 miles of each other. First break was in December of 2021 at 52xxx miles. The flexplate can fail and have multiple cracks in it causing it to rattle and break further on each start and drive, causing the possibility of it completely breaking while driving if someone does not verify what it is. It sounds like a knock in the motor and be mistaken as that if the flexplate is not looked at. I only caught the break cause I heard a slight ticking getting louder every couple of days. And when I went to the dealership to get it looked at it broke further and started making a louder tick/clank. I have talked to a dealer worker that has has the same issue come up (cracked flexplate) with his edge with the 2.0 motor. Along with other research I’ve done I see there are MANY fusions and edges with the 2.0 EcoBoost that have the same issue. So this is a wide spread issue. Ford knows of this issue but does not take responsibility for the issue if the vehicle is no longer under warranty.
