My 2014 Ford fusion completely lost power and wouldn't even start or turn on novemeber13, 2022. The car was towed to a dealership, and I was told that the coolant was going inside of the engine and causing corrasion. We contacted the warranty company and was told that this was a manufacture's default and that they wouldn't fix/ replace my engine because my whole engine needed to be replaced. I contacted ford and they said there was no recalls on my car and in 2017 I saw on cars.com that the engine/ coolant system for ford fusions from 2014-2017 were recalled but Ford said there was no such recall and that their recalls have an S in them and not a v.

Vehicle overheating issues, coolant leak, not able to drive the car

Awhile back before the part was recalled the shifter cable gasket slipped and the transmission was stuck in park in a drive through fast food restaurant line. Luckily I acted quick and resolved the issue by locating the gasket and dropping the ball into the shifter cable hole. On the highway I noticed white smoke and sputtering/jerking, I took the car straight to ford. Dropped it off and today learned there is coolant intrusion causing the engine to have to be replaced while other vehicles are hnder recall mine is not. This vehicle is a major safety concern.

My car has a recall and there is. It a fix for is yet and the dealer won’t give me a rental until I get it fixed and I’m out of a car basically because it’s unsafe to drive

The engine would not product power from stop to driving speed. This became evident when we were trying to accelerate to make a left turn through oncoming traffic. We were almost in an accident as the car / engine would not accelerate under partial or wide open throttle. I had my wife, child, and a child's friend in the vehicle at the time this issue first occurred. The Vehicle is currently in my position in front of my house. It is available for inspection if needed. The vehicle was inspected and was shown to have no compression in cylinder #2. This was causing a misfire in cylinder #2. This was causing the loss of power. There were no indicators prior to the loss of power. This vehicle was in the same shop a month and half prior to replace a water pump and belt.

My vehicle's engine or turbo randomly started sucking coolant and blowing white smoke from the exhaust.

Yes check engine light came on. On the high way and my car started jerking back and forth out of control I could have been rear ended and my car started to slow down my gas peddle would not allow me to accelerate I did get to side of high way and had to figure out where to get a tow truck i put my car in shop I’ve been told I need a new transmission and I wasn’t able to fix that on my own ford has sent me a recall letter but only to fix half of my transmission and also my brake peddle got recalled I really need these problems fixed and done right not sure who I’m suppose to reach

I have a 2014 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L . Months ago i had drove it and it over heated and i put antifreeze and it ran right back up , the next day it wouldn’t start went to the shop got it fixed ran for a day then the next day it stopped again . Any suggestions of what’s going on.? They said i would have to replace the whole engine if so how would i know if i have the cylinder temp sensor or not . I see many cases of it so wanted to will Ford be covering for this defect

Had issues with Ford Fusion not shifting into a higher gear. Car would Rev up to over 4RPM and still wouldn’t shift up. (Automatic) Could’ve caused a crash had it happened driving on a highway. Took car to the mechanic and I just found out from the mechanic that it needs a new transmission! My car is mainly used for commuting and has about 150000 miles on it. I have looked up issues with this vehicle and this is a known issue! HELP! FORD should be recalling the bad transmission and fixing the problem!

Engine has failed and what I’ve been hearing and reading all over the internet it’s a common problem in 1.5 engines I need an entire new engine because the coolant was leaking into the motor

Transmission shifter cable bushing worn out… dealership can’t get me in in a timely manner to diagnose/repair and didn’t provide with a rental car or loner.

My 2014 ford fusion eco boost was cranked, a message popped up about overheating and the pedal went out. 2 Car shops later, ive replaced the thermostat, water pump and timing belt to find now it has a cracked engine. I have never missed a oil change and always kept fluids in my car, it has less than 60,000 miles. This a a defective issue in a court case strung out for years about allecoboosts. People are buying these cars like me, i paid $26,000 for mine and having the engine blown shortly after and all ecoboosts are. This is a ford issue and I should not be held responsible to pay for a new engine, esp when it will happen again with the new engine as it is a defect from ford !!

Coolant intrusion into cylinders two and three. Replacement of full engine required 76k miles. Vehicle stalled on interstate in heavy traffic. Technical service bulletin posted by Ford motor company regarding above issue.

Coolant level low indicator comes on. Checked level and looked low but I take cap off and level normalized as if there was suction on the reservoir. Replaced the cap. Nothing changed. When I would start the car it would run like it’s misfiring and sometimes stall out completely. Check engine light would come on. Kept checking coolant and it wasn’t low. Sounds like a bad sensor, right? I’ve kept up on my recalls and it had been replaced when that recall came out. I told my mechanic about the issue when I brought it to the shop for oil change and brakes/tires/rotors. He could not replicate the problem because the car kept clearing the code and it never misfired when he started it. (I should mention that at first this was an intermittent issue when it started in July.) I had no choice but to drive the car when...

I have a 2014 hybrid with 91000. Miles on it and the transmission already went out. That is ridiculous and Ford should have are all on this. It’s 5600 for a new one.

Check Engine light and Wrench light illuminated on the car Sunday. However, the car was at the dealer twice the same week before this happened. I pulled over because the vehicle was performing rough into a Lowes parking lot. I was within several hundred feet of a Ford dealer and drove it there. The vehicle smelled like smoke and noise from the rear of the vehicle. Service advisor Roxanne Detgen, t. no. 586-840-1086, at Dorian Ford, says that the car likely needs a new engine. She has contacted Ford motor company and then will contact me to authorize a teardown of the engine. The vehicle is a safety risk because it had sudden poor driving performance without the illumination of any lights, loss of power, and is a fire hazard. In fact, it was at the dealer twice the same week this happened and no lights were on.

MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER CONTACTED ME SAYING HER CAR WOULD NOT 'GO', THAT SHE WAS DRIVING AND IT JUST DROPPED DOWN TO 20MPH AND ALTHOUGH SHE WAS ACCELERATING, NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, THE RPMS WERE NOT INCREASING. SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN TESTED DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE HOME AS SHE WAS IN ANOTHER CITY. EVERYTHING SEEMED WELL SO SHE BEGAN HER JOURNEY BACK HOME, ONLY TO MAKE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AND THE CAR WAS LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. SHE WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND WAS GIVEN A RIDE HOME. WE THEN WENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND UPON ARRIVING, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, BUT THE CAR WAS OFF. I DECIDED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT HOME SO THAT I COULD CONFIRM AND EXPERIENCE WHAT SHE DESCRIBED. I MAINTAINED A LOWER RATE OF SPEED,...

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING AS INDICATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE THEN SHIFTED INTO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COOL OFF HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DICK SMITH FORD OF COLUMBIA (7201 GARNERS FERRY RD, COLUMBIA, SC 29209) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. SEVERAL UNKNOWN TROUBLE CODES WERE CLEARED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONTACT.

UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) WHICH HE LINKED...

CAR STALS WITHOUT WARNING HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.CAR DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM.BUT STILL STAYS OUT.WHILE DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY JUST STOPPED NO POWER AT ALL.NEXT TO TIMES WAITING TO TURNINGS TRAFFIC.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE MISFIRES AND STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER COLD START TRIGGERING ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC CODE. FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED INSPECTED (4/23/2019) BUT DID NOT FIND CAUSE OF MISFIRES AND STALLS. I REPLACED THE OEM LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR (11/8/2019) AS SUGGESTED BY OTHERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES FOR LIKE MODEL VEHICLES. THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUED TO MISFIRE AND STALL AFTER REPLACING LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR. DURING A RECENT INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER (3/17/2021), THE TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND LOW COOLANT SUGGEST A POSSIBLE COOLANT INTRUSION INTO ENGINE CYLINDERS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH OTHER LIKE MODEL FORD VEHICLES WITH ECOBOOST ENGINES (SEE TSB 20-2100). IN MY OPINION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS THE MISFIRES AND STALLS ARE MORE LIKELY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND THE DRIVER...

1.5 FORD FUSION SHORT BLOCK ENGINE ANTIFREEZE LEAKING TO CYLINDER CAUSING MISS FIRE OR FIRE THE ENGINE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS , I GOT LUCKY MY ENGINE CAUSED MISS FIRE AND I HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH LONG BLOCK ENGINE . WHEN ANTIFREEZE LEAK TO CYLINDER ITS MAKE ALOT OF SMOKE , THATS WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE MY GARAGE I WAS LUCKY AGAIN TOOK MY KIDS OUT OF GARAGE BEFORE THEY GOT SUFFOCATION FROM THE SMOKE .

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING REALLY BAD. IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT ALSO SHIFTS OUT REALLY ROUGH. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF I'VE ALREADY REPLACED REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION AND THE WHEEL BEARING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND DON'T ALLOW MY KIDS TO RIDE IN CAR FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT COULD HAPPEN. EVEN WHILE CAR IS IDLING THERE A LOUD KNOCK

VEHICLE SHUTTERING SHIFTING HARD INTO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR FROM FIRST JUST STARTED

BACK UP CAMERA WOULD BE IN PARK. AS SONN AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE SCREEN WOULD GO BLACK OTHER TIMES IT WOULD GO IN AND OUT. SUNROOF SEAL IS LEAKING!!! ENGINE- I NOTICES WHEN IM AT THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN MY VEHICLE TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE, IT MAKES A HORRIBLE PULL STRAIGHTFORWARD MOTION. I NOTICES THE BODY PAINT CHIPS HORRIBLE IN ODD PLACES ON THE VEHICLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO CUT MY CAR OFF AS TO 'RESTART' IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED AND I HAD NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS AGO AND I KEEP UP ON MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND I CAME ACROSS A BUNCH. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE A HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AT LOW MILEAGE. RESEARCH SHOWED THIS A HUGE ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE FORD FUSION 2013-2015. SIMILAR TO ENGINE PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE THE LAST THING ANY DRIVER WOULD LIKE TO DEAL WITH. THIS IS BECAUSE IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY ON REPAIR AND REQUIRES A CERTAIN SKILL SET TO GET IT FIXED. UNFORTUNATELY, 2014 FORD FUSION TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WERE THE THIRD MOST REPORTED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. IN GENERAL, THE PROBLEMS WERE RELATED TO ISSUES WITH SHIFTING, COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING. MANY OWNERS OF VEHICLES AROUND 28,000 MILES REPORTED ROUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, WHICH IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS MILEAGE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS MOSTLY RESOLVED BY EITHER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION OR PERFORMING A GLOBAL RESET. THE AVERAGE REPAIR COST FOR TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WAS ABOUT $750. AT LEAST TWO OWNERS REPORTED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE...

THE CAR RAN HOT ON ME AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR HAD WHAT THEY CALL COOLANT INTRUSION. I HAD TO TO GET A NEW BLOCK FOR THE VEHICLE.

I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR 5 YEARS. 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT IT STARTED SHOWING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT GETS STUCK IN A GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE , AND THEN IT FLINGS YOUR FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING UP A HILL IT WON'T GO OVER 30MPH. I TOOK IT IN OVER 2 YEARS AGO TO FORD AND WAS TOLD A TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR 2014 FORD FUSIONS WAS COMING. 2 YEARS LATER AND I'M BEING TOLD MY CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY BUT IS SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS THAT'S LISTED ON THE RECALL. JUST LAST WEEK MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. SINCE IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES. SINCE IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING A NEW ISSUE HAS PROGRESSED. MY CAR NOW JERKS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IF I HAVE THE HEATER IN IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNING. WE USED A...

I HEARD A NOISE IN MY VEHICLE IN JULY. I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER TAKE A DRIVE. HE THOUGHT IT WAS A WHEEL BEARING. ON SEPTEMBER 2 I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NOT A WHEEL BEARING. IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTING THIS FACT.

I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF MY CAR AND HAD IT SERVICED REGULARLY. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED HAVING STARTUP ISSUES WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS INDICATING MISFIRE ON THIRD CYLINDER AND RANDOM MISFIRES ON STARTUP. SHORTLY AFTER THESE SYMPTOMS PRESENTED, THE CAR RAPIDLY OVERHEATED WHILE IN MOTION AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO TWO SHOPS AND BOTH CONFIRMED IT IS RELATED TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE (1.5 ECOBOOST) FOR WHICH FORD HAS RELEASED MULTIPLE CORRECTIONS IN THE FORM OF TSBS, FSAS, AND CSPS. THE DESIGN OF THE SHORT BLOCK AND THE ENGINE PROGRAMMING HAVE CAUSED THE COOLANT TO PREMATURELY DEGRADE THE HEAD GASKET WHICH LEADS TO COOLANT INTRUSION INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. IN MY SPECIFIC CASE, THE ISSUE HAS PRESENTED IN CYLINDER 3. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE BY THE...

DROVE MY 2014 FUSION WITH APPROX 141,800 MILES ON IT TO WORK (APPROX 30 MILES) THE NIGHT OF 8/25/2020 WITH NO ISSUES OR WARNING LIGHTS UPON PARKING IN THE PARKING GARAGE AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING IT FAILED TO START WITH THE REMOTE. WHEN I GOT IN AND TRIED TO START IT, IT STILL WOULD NOT START AND IT PROVIDED NO WARNING LIGHTS. HAD SOMEONE ATTEMPT TO JUMP IT WHICH OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK, SO WAS IT TOWED TO A NEARBY FORD SERVICE CENTER. THE SUMMARY OF THEIR DIAGNOSTICS WAS AS FOLLOWS: THERE WAS NO COOLANT (WHICH I HAD PUT SOME IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS PRIOR, AFTER THE CAR DID PROVIDE A WARNING THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING. I HAD PRESUMED THAT THE FORD QUICK LANE FORGOT TO CHECK MY COOLANT LEVELS WHEN IT WAS THERE 5/13/20 AND AT THIS TIME IT WAS LOW BUT NOT...

2014 FORD FUSION HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS AND NEVER INDICATED ANY OVERHEATING. AT 60K MILES THE DASH INDICATED ENGINE OVERHEATED. PARKED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE COOLANT ENTERED THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
