NHTSA Complaint #11606923 — 2017 FORD FUSION

2017 Ford Fusion (87,000 miles): Check engine light was illuminated. Visited independent garage next day. approx $700 repairs did not fix the issue. Light came on a second time the following week. Took back to independent garage and was told it was a historical alert and not an active alert. Alert cleared. several days later the light came on again. Called to make dealer appointment. While waiting for the appointment, the overheating warning message came on. Stopped at the dealer who topped off coolant. 3 days later with almost no driving in between, dealer diagnosed Coolant Leak, misfire cylinder #2 - similar to information available online - coolant almost empty. All vehicle maintenance and 4 previous recalls properly maintained for vehicle. No known recall notice related to the Ford Fusion Coolant Leak known issues. Cost of repair quoted at $9,000 to replace engine. car not drivable and will take a month to repair. vehicle not repaired yet. I don't understand why my vehicle wasn't recalled if it's a known issue for this model.
