Consumer Description

In January 2024, while driving the Ford Fusion, I lost power (when I pressed the gas, it would accelerate). I pulled over the best I could (on a 2 lane road, no shoulder, at night). I found that my vehicle had no coolant; it had an oil change within the last 2 months and all fluids were topped off. It was towed to my mechanic and I had to call family for a ride. It was found that the coolant had leaked and burned out, thereby overheating, warping the block/head (placing it in limp mode). It was not holding compression or fluid. For a new engine and installation, I paid $6,800.67. Tonight ([XXX]) my "check manual" wrench light came on and I pulled over to find the coolant was near empty. I was an hour away from home, at night, with my younger brother in the car, in Reno, NV. It was scary waiting for my family to drive an hour to come get me. I paid $97 to have it towed (insurance paid $500). It is now awaiting a second inspection. I just bought this car in 2023 from CarMax with only 55k miles. Now I cannot get to work or college if someone will not borrow me a car and will be forced to walk (not to work, it's 30 miles away). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
