Consumer Description

I own a 2015 Ford Fusion with over 160,000 miles on it. I noticed a substantial loss of coolant inside the car and decided to take it to a Ford dealership in October. I was told that my coolant was internally leaking into the combustion chamber. I decided to research why this issue occurred only a few weeks after buying the vehicle. I discovered that the 2015 Ford Fusion's engine, the 1.5 Liter EcoBoost engine, has an issue where the cylinder walls are too thin. This leads to a crack in the wall, which causes coolant loss and possible overheating. So, with that in mind, I was cautious with driving it long distances in fear of overheating. However, on Friday, November 1st, because of the coolant intrusion, the car overheated and now cannot be driven and needs to be repaired by replacing the engine.
