Consumer Description

2015 1.5L Ecoboost misfiring/running rough/coolant level low. While driving highway speeds engine began to lose power and shutter ultimately shutting down causing significant lose of braking and steering. Prior to this incident the check engine warning light came on and after having it scanned, code 0302 (misfire in cylinder #2) had caused the warning light. I replaced all four coil packs and cleaned the spark plugs because they only had about 30k miles on them from recently being routinely replaced. Light came on again when this incident occurred and once the vehicle was able to be scanned again it displayed codes: P0300 (random misfire), P0301 (misfire in cylinder #2), P0304 (misfire in cylinder #4) and P1450 (unable to bleed fuel tank vacuum). The car is no longer able to be driven. As soon as I started researching online what the issue could be it became very apparent that I was not the only individual(s) to encounter this exact same problem. After spending hours upon hours reading all of the reports involving Ford and the 1.5L Ecoboost, I assumed that my troubles were over. However, that was not and still isn't the case. Ford has admitted to a "design flaw" in the engine block of the 1.5L and even redesigned it. They also issued a number of TSB's (Technical Service Bulletin) detailing the symptoms, solution and parts. What they did not and to date have not done is issue a recall or offer to repair the thousands of engines that are affected by their "design flaw". I rely solely on my 2015 Fusion to commute to and from work in order to make a living. I still owe $4,807.18 on the car, following the TSB it will cost another est. $6-$8k to repair, but the problem I am facing now is I can't get to and from work to earn a living because the 2015 Ford Fusion 1.5L Ecoboost is not able to be driven due to "coolant intrusion". WHY ARE MANUFACTURERS ALLOWED TO FATTEN THEIR WALLETS BY CHEATING CONSUMERS AND NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS???
