Consumer Description

2017 ford fusion se with roughly 70,000 miles blew its engine in route to Wisconsin from Illinois. Less than 1.5 hrs into the drive, highway, steady speed, sudden drop in speed and white smoke out the back. Immediately pulled off road and happened to be within minutes from a Ford dealership so I dropped it there. Today, [XXX] they advised that the engine rebuild + new turbo would be a 12,000 repair. The car itself is worth about $10-12k in good condition. This car has had no major issues and has been regularly maintained at a ford dealership. Regular oil changes and any repairs were done with Ford! Now, the 3rd cylinder has heavy scoring which is causing pressure issues and oil blowing out the dipstick. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
