NHTSA Complaint #11338936 — 2015 FORD FUSION

BOUGHT MY FORD FUSION USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT END OF DECEMBER WITH 78K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING SO I TOOK THE CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND KEPT MISFIRING AND MY COOLANT KEPT BECOMING LOW ONLY AFTER A FEW DAYS. UPON DIAGNOSIS I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAK SHOOTING OUT TO CYLINDER 4 AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SPARK PLUG THAT WAS CAUSED BY AN ENGINE DEFECT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AGREED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THIS IS AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT FORD IS AWARE OF FOR THIS MODEL PER THE TSB BULLETIN FORD PUT OUT. FORD WON'T FIX THEIR ISSUE AND IM HERE GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. MY CAR IS STILL NOW IN THE SHOP AS IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FORD ALREADY KNEW WAS MESSED UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS MODEL.
