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.

This vehicle has a known issue by Ford. In Ford TSB 22-2229 it acknowledges "P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly." When explained, it states that this issue could cause reduced engine power which obviously be a very dangerous situation if the vehicle is traveling at highway/interstate speeds. The replacement of the long block engine assembly is a complete engine replacement that Ford is not assuming responsiblity for either from a safety or cost standpoint. We are regularly receiving these diagnostic codes now and a recent diagnosis from a Ford dealership confirmed the need for a long block engine assembly replacement which is extremely costly and right now is cost prohibitive, especially for a vehicle that is only 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.

Faulty Head Gasket causing coolant to go into the engine - and causing enough issues to need engine replaced - ford mechanics saying they are seeing this more and more with my make and model car. Called ford motor company and unwilling to help with repairs as I-??m 3,000 miles over the ability to assist. This apparently was a known issue in which why ford change how they made the head gaskets for the car - my car is 5 years old and 103,000 with no other issues - maintained correctly- and ford knows abt the issue but won-??t help customers I currently have a rental as I-??m trying to come up with $8,000 to repair my car in which why I have no invoice yet

Upon traveling we noticed a loud engine knocking when the car was at idle. We immediately pulled over and checked the engine. The coolant level was lower than normal and the engine oil level was fine. We immediately returned home and parked the car. While returning home the front camera continued to display an error message that it was not working and would repeat every 30 seconds. After doing research I read that Ford has known about the Fusion Ecoboost having a design flaw where coolant leaks into the cylinder heads and can crack the head as well as a flexplate crack that appears. They issued a "fix" for the flexplate to some models and I would like this applied to my car as I feel they knowingly continued to sell this model with the issues without prior warnings or notices.

Placed telephone call to Ford customer relationship center, was told Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 would not cover cost of repair because his car was over allowed mileage. 84000 is cutoff and mileage on his car was 84354. Repairs not done at this time due to cost, car is sitting in driveway unusable.

My mechanic gave it a diagnostic check and the following issues were detected: Random Misfire Detected- Not Current DTC, Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected- Warning Lamp On, and Misfire Detected on Startup (First 1000 revolutions) - Pending DTC. He also noted that the coolant level was low. I reached out to my local Ford service department and they wouldn't assist me with this serious concern.
