Consumer Description

Ford recall for customer satisfaction program 21N12 for coolant leaking into cylinder damaging short block does not provide enough coverage. 2017 ford fusion with 61,000 miles has an estimated of $7,800 to repair this mfg defect. The extended coverage on this fix on failure is 7 years and 84,000 miles. I have missed the window by 2 months! This problem has been occurring since 2014-2018 models. My car had a resale value of $15,000, but is now worth nothing and I only got 60,000 miles out of this. It is not fair that their known defect has put me in this position.
