Last year my car started overheating for no apparent reason checked coolant reservoir and visibly seemed empty but when I removed the cap antifreeze rose fast. Added antifreeze and it stopped overheating. About 3 months ago Because it overheated I had to get the head gasket replaced, timing components replaced, heads repaired, and engine flushed(antifreeze had entered engine), not to mention labor all costing roughly $3,000. Only for it to happen again and now I-??m out of $3,000 because the same thing is happen only this time my car is shaking and smoking from the tail pipe badly. In the mean time my fiancé has lost his job due to us not being able to drive the car. After doing god knows how much research to find out this is an ongoing problem with this particular make of car. Because of having to pay for countless repairs and no one seeming to know what-??s going on with my car I am now behind on bills and still without a car that is only 4 years old. I haven-??t done any long driving to other states beside neighbors states that are about 2-3 hours away but that shouldn-??t matter because it-??s a new car I shouldn-??t have any problems driving it wherever. I purchased this car at a lil over 30k miles my problems started at about 61k miles which is odd since the manufacturer warranty had just expired about 1k miles before that. I believed in ford for the longest and now I am regretting ever buying one. My very first car purchase from a lot and it turns out to be the worst car I-??ve ever purchased. I-??m sure me typing all of this probably won-??t get read or even looked into but this is an experience I wouldn-??t dare want anyone else to go through so I-??m sure to leave many reviews but I thought you should know. Also because of the over heating my car has cut off at times where my life could have been taken (at lights and intersections) have a good day!

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!!

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.

T O whom it may concern, thank you for assisting me during this process. My car I purchased new and I would like to say a few month into owning my car ive had serval incidence where my car would completely shut off while I'm a red light for awhile due to traffics. My car has an eco button where I can turn it off and on so it doesn't 'shut down' when I come to a stop. The reason I'm so upset with this is because 2-3 times it's happened to I've had my toddler with me and in order for me to go (when the car should automatically turn on once I remove my foot from the break), I have to turn off my car and turn it back on and it's happened during traffic and bug interactions. I don't feel safe in my car and most importantly I'm scared a car will hit me from behind do to this issue with my son in the car. I've addressed this issue to Ford and when I take it in they said they can't detect the problem. They've changed the battery thinking it would help hit it didn't. I've given them the opportunity to assist me as much as they can but yet I feel like nothings been done.

I was driving out of a store and all of a sudden the vehicle had the battery engine come out and other weird verbiage ive never seen. All of a sudden my vehicle just stop, brakes became too stiff to turn back the vehicle as you are suppose to press the brake and push the start button. I wait with my 9 year old daughter on a busy street and it was over 100 degree weather. We waited mayb 10mins and the brake became someone manageable to push and the vehicle started as soon as it did start smoke started coming out from the hood drove to a near by business and had to wait over w hours for a tow truck. This is such a safety hazard as a mother you want the vehicle you drive to be as safe as possible but for a brand new vehicle only a year old to stall out the way it did is so scary because I could've been hit and you not only worry about your safety but your child's safety.

Started the car whether manual or by remote start a powertrain malfunction will come on my Ford pass app. Also on the dashboard it will say shift system fault. Once I put the car in drive the service light disappears. The vehicle was in my driveway stationary. On 2 other occasions September 18 2019 and September 25 2019 the car was in my driveway stationary. I started the car manually car would not start (no engine turn over) but car start stop button would be green as if car was running. The dashboard would say full accessory mode active, transmission not in park, shift system malfunction. The car dashboard would say the car was in drive but the turn dial gear would show park. The car gear dial was also locked and would not turn. If I took off the emergency brake the car would roll backwards. Also I could not turn the car off after that. After 40- 60 min the car showed it was going to turn off in 15 min to save power. Once it turned off. The car would start and engine would turn over as if nothing happend. I also have video of both times car would not start. Website will not let me upload videos
