Consumer Description
MY CAR IS A 2014 FORD FUSION I PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP 2 YEARS AGO. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. AFTER I TURN ON MY CAR AND SWITCH GEAR TO "DRIVE" MY CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WITHIN 20 FEET. I HAVE TO PARK THE CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN; IT ALWAYS HAPPENS LATER ON DURING THE DAY WHEN DRIVING OFF A PARKING LOT. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT NEVER COMES OF, BUT THERE IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN ON IT'S OWN; IT NEVER SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED, BUT I AM TRULY CONCERN WITH THIS MATTER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED IT WILL COST ME $110.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH I PAID. I WAITED FOR 4 HOURS AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE ANTIFREEZE IS MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL OCCASIONALLY AND THE COST OF REPAIR WILL BE $2,100.00. WHEN I CHECKED THE CAR ALONG WITH A PERSONAL MECHANIC THERE IS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING MIXING WITH THE ENGINE OIL, THE OIL IS CLEAN IS NOT MILKY AND IT SMELLS FINE. BOTTOM LINE I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND EVEN MORE SO THAT FORD DEALERSHIP WAS SO DISHONEST ABOUT THE CAR SYMPTOMS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NOT BUY A FORD AGAIN AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR
