Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE ECOBOOST CURRENTLY AROUND 76000 MILES. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE SCAN HAD REPORTED A CYLINDER MISFIRE DUE FOR A SPARK PLUG CHANGE ALONG WITH A COIL CHANGE. MADE THE REPLACEMENTS DAY AFTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CORRECTED. A WEEK AGO IT OVERHEATED, COOLANT HAD DISAPPEARED, EVEN AFTER REFILLING THE COOLANT AT MAX THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T REGISTER THE COOLANT. NO MOVEMENT, NOT DRIVABLE. GOT IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WAITED FOR ALMOST A WEEK FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR, COME TO FIND OUT MY CAR IS IN NEED OF A NEW ENGINE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE COOLANT WAS BEING 'EATEN BY THE ENGINE' AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHERE IN THE ENGINE WAS THE LEAK. 'EXCESSIVE MOISTURE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO COMBUST IF DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION'. 'THE ENGINE WAS ABSORBING THE MOISTURE'. WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW COULD THIS BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD FUSION ECOBOOST MODELS AND NOT BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL. IF CAR WAS KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, AND NEVER BROUGHT UP WHEN GETTING SERVICED. THERE'S NO WEAR AND TEAR DAMAGE IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD NOT LAST 5 YEARS FROM BEING BRAND NEW TO BASICALLY TOTALED CAR.. FORD SHOULD PROVIDE A RECALL . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EVEN AFTER CONTACTING FORD THEY MENTIONED NO COVERAGE AFTER 5 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.
