The owner/myself driving vehicle home my 2017 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L on the interstate when white smoke billowed out from the exhaust leading to a seized engine on a high traffic density highway. The car started to sputter, clunk and the check engine light kept flashing as I pulled off the side of the road. This car had issues before the failure of the engine with cylinders misfiring, spark plugs being fouled at low mileage and engine losing coolant. Per my vehicles breakdown I brought it to a local mechanic who worked for Ford and stated my engine locked up and needs to be replaced, after bringing my car to another shop for a second diagnosis, it was the same answer after a full look at it. I tried calling Ford in Michigan they gave me the run around, my dealer fred beans of Ford gave me the run around saying I have to cover this repair due to it being out of my warranty. I did the program 19B37 recall from Ford which reset the computer system for antifreeze and coolant entering the engine. Clearly, that issue that Ford tried to patch up didn't work. My mechanic & Ford determined that a new engine was needed and have found bulletins stating this is due to a manufacturing defect known by Ford as Ford had released the bulletins. This defect leads to engine failure and is nothing caused by the driver but solely due to the fact that when certain engines were manufactured they were manufactured incorrectly. Ford is unwilling to pay for engine replacement even though they have admitted this is fault during the manufacturing processes if the engine is to stall or seize during driving this could lead to serious injury, accident, and even death. Ford is not recalling this engine at this time. Please - recall this issue. 1.5 & 2.0 engines are very problematic. The cost for my repair is $4,800 that I don't have.

Back in 2018, 1.3 million Ford Focus vehicles were recalled due to a fuel purge valve. Who's to say the same issue is starting to occur again, but to the Ford Fusion? my 2017 Ford Fusion that I purchased 6 months ago has this issue. It is a major safety concern! on my way to work in the middle of the highway, during morning traffic, my car decides to turn off causing a accident, but luckily nobody got hurt! while I was sitting there waiting for the police to arrive, I tried turning it back on, and luckily it did, but surprise surprise now with the service engine light on. When I got off of work my car turned back on (still with the service engine light on) and the same issue happened again 4 times on my way back home. I drove all the way back on the right hand passing lane because this is a safety hazard, and could easily cause a accident again! what it did exactly is it starts like a humming/vibrating noise that comes from the dashboard, I couldn't push on my gas, turn my steering wheel, and automatically goes down to 0 mph, and on the dashboard it asked me to put the car in P, and then turns off. Of course the warranty that I purchased didn't want to cover it, and now I have to pay $425 to have this fixed! Ford Motor Company needs to issue a recall before someone seriously gets injured!

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 Fusion.
