NHTSA Complaint #11495546 — 2019 FORD FUSION

*Upon check engine light, oriellys advised of misfire on p0301- installed following day due to part shipping to store. Day after coil ignition and spark plug replacement, engine light came back on which mechanic said not to worry as long as car isnt shaking. The following day after taking kids to school, the battery died at the school. With only the check engine light on I waited 10 minutes and the car started. On my way home on the highway, the car just stalled in the middle of the highway. There was a brief alarm stating coolant temperature high turn off car. Several dealerships advised soonest availability was December. I needed my car asap. I had it towed to pepboys who did a full diagnostic and provided documentation saying I'd need a new engine. 78250 miles, premium gas, annual premium treatment at oil changes with royal purple, schedule a tuneup with diagnostic, new tires, wash tub monthly cleans. I treat my car better than I do my kids. I called ford and asked about warranty info which they advised the only way to see if warranty covers it is to have a certified dealership diagnostic. After searching for days, I finally got one to do the diagnostic and said there is an issue with the coolant destroying the engine.
