NHTSA Complaint #11253452 — 2013 FORD FUSION

ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD OVERHEATS AND LEAKS OIL RECALL DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY CAR STARTED SHUTTERING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE MY DASHBOARD WENT CRAZY STATING MY CAR OVERHEATED. WHEN I GOT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC THEY DISCOVERED MY COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND IT BUSTED ONE OF MY CYLINDERS WHICH PUT A HOLE IN MY ENGINE. WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY STATED MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE EXACT MAKE, MODEL AND ENGINE MENTIONED IN THE RECALL AND EXACTLY WHAT THEY WARNED WOULD HAPPEN, HAPPENED, BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COINCIDENCE. I HAD NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS FINE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING LEAKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES THIS BIG.
