NHTSA Complaint #11394263 — 2016 FORD FUSION

GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - THE READING IS MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. AFTER OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED OVER AND OVER TO FIND WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING FROM. HE SPOKE TO A MECHANIC THAT WORKS FOR FORD. HE WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN FAULT IN THAT ENGINE THAT THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP - CRACK THE BLOCK. FORD HAS NOT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH I AM ABLE TO FIND NUMERORUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I OWE TOO MUCH TO JUST TRADE THE CAR IN TO BECOME SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM. SO KNOW I HAVE OUR MECHANIC LOOKING FOR AN ENGINE AND HAVE TO JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS ENGINE THAT WE FIND DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.
