NHTSA Complaint #11338041 — 2016 FORD FUSION

AT 55K MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. WE ARE TOLD THAT THERE IS A COOLANT INTRUSION IN A CYLINDER AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY STARTED JUNE 26, 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED INTO THE DEALER 6/30/2020, 4 DAYS AFTER THE 5 YEAR/60 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. DAYS EXPIRED, NOT MILAGE. WE ARE BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE THAT WOULD BE INSTALLED IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED DUE TO THE KNOWN DEFECT.
