TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. WAS TOLD THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO MY 4TH CYLINDER. ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE. PER THEIR 2014 FORD FUSION RECALL: "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A LACK OF COOLANT CIRCULATION COULD CAUSE AN ENGINE TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD," FORD REPORTED. "A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD CAN RESULT IN A PRESSURIZED OIL LEAK. OIL THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A HOT ENGINE SURFACE INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT." THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE, YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON MY YEAR OF VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING THE IDLE.

I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND AND RETURNED HOME IN FEAR OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS QUOTED A STARTING $1,700 REPAIR FOR A HEAD GASKET REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I WAS SHOCKED HOW COMMON THIS REPAIR IS AND WAS IN DISBELIEF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED AFTER I SEARCHED NHTSA.GOV.

I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND 6000 DOLLARS LATER I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE BLOCK. THE CODES GAVE NO CLUE TO WHAT WAS WRONG AND CAR NEVER OVERHEATED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A 4 AND 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND REMBURSE ME.

DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE AND HEAD GASKET NEEDING REPLACING. THE RESULT IS NEEDING A NEW MOTOR. THIS ISSUE SEEMS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000. MY ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THIS RECALL ON THE 2013 AND 2014 FUSIONS. FORD IS PROVIDED $3,000 FOR THE REPAIR DUE TO ME BEING OVER 600 MILES OVER POWER TRAIN. MY CONCERN IS THE RECALL TO THE 13 AND 14 FUSION COULD BE BROADER THAN THOSE YEARS.
