Consumer Description

Last week (today is April 16, 2024) I noticed when I start my car lots of smoke is coming out the back. Days later the engine light appears and starts flashing then my car starts to shake and stall as I’m driving putting me and others on the road at risk. Before I break it starts to stall so I try to break way ahead of time before needing to so I don’t put cars in front of me at risk. I’ve taken it to a mechanic and he’s telling me it seems to be a manufacturing issue with the engine. My 2L engine head gasket #2 cylinder on a 2017 Ford fusion seems to be the problem. This is very unfortunate as I have been in love with my car since I first purchased it brand new in the beginning of 2018. I have a service appointment with ford in two weeks
