- Tempe, AZ, USA

In 2023 I was experiencing engine issues. There was a check engine light that continued to come on signaling a cylinder misfire. I replaced the sparkplugs and coils however the issue persisted so I made an appointment to bring it to a Ford Dealership. The Ford dealership contacted me to advise that the issue I was experiencing is a known issue with the Ford Ecoboost motor where coolant ends up leaking into the cylinders causing a failure. This is a huge detriment to safety because I could have had a vehicle fire, or my car could have seized up on the highway while I was driving had I not gotten this to a dealership. I contacted Ford regarding the issue and their response was alarming. Since I was slightly over my warranty my vehicle was not covered for any repairs and they would not address the issue despite it being a known problem with these motors. I was stuck with a 7,000 dollar repair bill and "save your receipts and hope for the best" from Ford. Their negligence was alarming and after doing much research I have found that there still was not a recall issued and many people have experienced this issue.

2019 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L. Not made aware of CSP on my car. Have dealer notes saying my car wasn-??t listen in OASIS for notification. Although when I found the CSP online my car is an -??affected vehicle-??. I now have low coolant, white exhaust smoke and severe knocking from my engine. I had a first ever reported issue to the dealership in 05/2023 where my car stalled out and dash lights illuminated. They ran codes and the only documented code in the service paperwork was P0222. They found a -??chaffed wire-??. They did not upgrade my PCM. Although by 05/2023 that was the recommendation on the CSP for the dealership to do after previously failed bandaid fixes by Ford. My car will be going to the dealership on 12/9/24 to address my concerns and request all of my detailed service records. And really figure out why exactly the dealership didn-??t complete ANYthing issued in the CSP especially when I was taking my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. I am within the 6 or 7 years and 84k miles or whatever it is now. It continuously changes but honestly I am quite upset that faulty engines aren-??t being recalled by Ford but Ford will issue a recall on BACK UP CAMERAS. Like seriously. Engine > camera A faulty back up camera is probably not the same level of fire/safety risk as the faulty engines Ford continues to refuse to recall.

I purchased the car from countryside dealership. The car had a roaring sound going on which I thought was to do either the tires. I took it back 3 days later because that-??s the o ky appointment they had. They told me it was possibly my transmission not my tire at all! Definitely got a second opinion and it was both wheel bearings. Fast forward a couple months the car starts acting weird running like it-??s almost out of gas just real bad idling. Took it back it was nothing they said then it just starts running hot my coolant is gone and now my car has a blown engine and I have no way to prove this is a recall defect besides it-??s the same mechanical issues that the other fusions have recalls on ! I know this is a long sh*t but could my car be inspected to prove a recall s missed on my year or what can I do I have no way to replace this motor and I-??m still makin the payments every month and it can-??t even be driven

Flex plate cracked

- North Las Vegas, NV, USA

The wrench light came on and a warning stating "SHIFT SYS FAULT Service Required" showed. The dial shifter would automatically go back to "P" after shifting to "R" or "D." At first it would drive but would not go in reverse. My daughter had driven to work and the car stalled just as she was leaving the parking space, but lurched a few times as she tried to figure out the problem. If she had been on the street, this could have caused an accident. I bought a replacement part (Transmission Shifter Bushing Transit Connect) from a Ford dealership and fixed the problem. The cap and connect had disintegrated. The wrench light went away and the car was fine for two months. The part disintegrated again today. The car has not been inspected by any representatives.
