NHTSA Complaint #11342884 — 2017 FORD FUSION

THE CAR DROVE AS EXPECTED UNTIL AROUND 80K MILES. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED WITH THE CODE: P0302. THIS SHOWS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2. THE CARS COOLANT WAS RECENTLY REFILLED AND UPON INSPECTION AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS AGAIN EMPTY. THE CAR WAS KEPT UP ON MAINTENANCE AND DIDN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION PRIOR. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER, CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE. THE CAR PROMPTED ME TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE ENGINE BECAUSE THIS ISSUE WAS MAKING IT OVERHEAT. THE CAR REMAINS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS IT IS TOO FRAGILE TO DRIVE.
