Consumer Description

HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON ON MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES AND THERE WAS A MISFIRE ON THE FIRST 1000 REVOLUTIONS AND IT WAS ON CYLINDER 2. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT COOLANT GOT INTO THE CYLINDER AND IT CAUSED MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE AND I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WILL GET A REFURBISHED ONE FOR MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD GET A BRAND NEW ONE. ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE GARBAGE. ONE AND DONE WITH THOSE. ILL NEVER BUY A FORD WITH AN ECOBOOST ENGINE AGAIN. TOYOTA IS MUCH MORE RELIABLE AND PERFECTS THINGS UNLIKE AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES THAT ONLY CARE ABOUT QUARTERLY SALES. I WONT GET MY CAR FOR 2 TO 6 WEEKS THEY SAID BUT DID GET A LOANER CAR. IM GOING TO TRADE THAT IN ASAP
