Coolant leak to the engine.

- Opelousas , LA, USA

- Merced, CA, USA

The engine overheated with no warning. The first time this happened was in traffic, and luckily the warning quickly went away. It seemed like a bug or maybe a faulty thermometer. Then it started running rough on startup and I noticed the coolant was empty. White smoke from the tailpipe. It was affected by the coolant intrusion TSB 19-2346, confirmed by the dealer. No CEL or other malfunction indicator besides the overheat warning. As the car was out of warranty at 80k miles, I was made to pay $3k (normally $8k) for a new engine.

The light keeps going on and off to check engine and there is a code for misfire in cylinder 2 and I had the spark plugs change and had the coil packs check and also constantly filling the antifreeze up my mechanic says to call Ford because of the issue that was posted and I tried but they are giving me run around and saying there-??s nothing out there for this problem but there is and I only had the car 3 years and less that 60k on it what do I do now to fix

- Slingerlands , NY, USA

Have had engine light on for months, have taken it in to be fixed and finally I was told it is from coolant intrusion into the cylinder 3 that i would need a new engine. Ford refused to fix it because it has 80k miles on it (bought it used at 56k) I have an extended warranty through the place i boughr it but its been weeks waiting on their decision to fix it or not. 6k to fix a car ive had less than 2 years and this is a know. issue, so well known the warranty place is only allowing new engines to approved cases and the new engines are the same price as rhe rebuilt ones!! Ford knows rhis is an issue, every mechanic i have spoke to knows this is an issue, theres service bulletins but no recall on the 2.0l ecoboost, just the 1.5.. why" Im told recalls dont hit til over a million people are affected or complain? how messed up is that?" meanwhile people like me who have not had the car long either pay or are out a car. Ps there is a class action lawsuit against ford for the 2.0 l so if you own a fusion maybe look into joining! i know i am!!!

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.
