NHTSA Complaint #11374965 — 2013 FORD FUSION

LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH FORD FUSION, AND IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. RECENTLY I'VE DISCOVERED A PLUG STUCK IN CYLINDER 4, A MISFIRE, AND MY ENGINE IS LOSING COOLANT WITHOUT ANY EXTERIOR & VISIBLE LOSS AREAS. IT WAS 'REPAIRED' FROM THE RECALL WHEN ONLY A SENSOR WAS ADDED AND NO ACTUAL REPAIR WAS DONE TO PREVENT COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. CYL 4 HAS A MISFIRE, COOLANT IS NEEDING TO BE REFILLED CONSTANTLY, CAR IS NOW OVERHEATING, AND THIS IS AFTER I'VE DONE ALL THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IN ADDITION TO FORDS 'RECALL FIX' 17S09 THAT FIXED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ANY TIME THAT I DRIVE IT NOW, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED, ANY LONGER THAN 10 MIN, MY 'LOW COOLANT' WARNING COMES ON FROM THE ENGINE BURNING COOLANT OFF. I'VE HAD TO COMPLETELY SHUT MY ENTIRE CAR OFF, WAIT FOR ENGINE TO COOL OFF, AND HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED A FEW TIMES NOW. VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING I'VE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE EXCEPTIONALLY SINCE I'VE OWNED IT.
