2015 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

MY CAR HAS 64000 MILES. CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND ROUGH IDLE SO WE BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CODE 0302 IS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2. THEY ALSO SAID THERE IS A HOLE IS THE BLOCK BETWEEN CYLINDERS NOW. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WITH 64K MILES AND COOLANT LEVEL WAS CORRECT. THEY MENTIONED THE SLEEVE AROUND CYLINDER 2 IS TOO THIN CAUSING THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AND FORD'S REPLACEMENT ENGINE HAS A THICKER SLEEVE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THEY HAVE 4 OTHER FUSIONS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. NOW TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS OVER $6000 AND AGAIN THERE IS SIMPLY NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WITH A CAR WITH 64K MILES. VERY FRUSTRATED AND LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION.

AFTER MERGING AND ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, OVER TO THE FAR LEFT LANE, "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING CAME UP AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER (WHAT HAWAII CONSIDERS A SHOULDER, STILL VERY DANGEROUS) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, ONLY BEEP MULTIPLE TIMES AND DISPLAY THE SAME MESSAGE. AFTER 5 MIN ON PHONE TRYING TO GET FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, THE LOCAL HIGHWAY PATROL TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP. BEFORE I ALLOWED HIM TO TOW THE VEHICLE I TRIED TO START IT AND WAS SUCCESSFUL.

MY CAR WAS AT IDLE AT THE STORE FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND WENT INTO SAFE MODE THE MECHANIC SAID MY ACTIVE GRILL MOTOR WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED MY HEAD GASKET TO BLOW WITHOUT WARNING. I OWE OVER $10000 ON MY CAR AND NOW I HAVE A $4000 SHOP BILL. MY CAR HAS NEVER OVERHEATED NOT EVEN AT THAT TIME SO MY HEAD GASKET SHOULDN'T BE BLOWN! PLEASE HELP!

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET CAR BEGAN TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST. UPON INSPECTION BY FORD DISCOVERED A CRACK IN #3 CYLINDER ALLOWING COOLANT INTO ENGINE

COOLANT LEAK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TEMP WASN'T HIGH TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH THEY REPLACED SENSORS STILL RAN ROUGH SO FUTHER INVESTIGATION THEY FOUND COOLANT LEAK AND SAID OUR MOTOR WAS BLOWN

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE BLOWN. ENGINE FLUID LEAK. COOLANT IS ABSORBED BY ENGINE TO COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND COME OUT AS A WHITE SMOKE THROUGH EXHAUST. ALL HAPPENED IN A CITY STREET NOT EVEN FREEWAY. NEW ENGINE NEEDED AND NEW BRAKE HOSES.

WE HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE. WE WERE THE 2ND OWNER AND PURCHASED FROM A DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT STARTED SOUNDING LIKE FLUID IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. THEN IT STARTED BLOWING OUT TONS OF WHITE SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OVER, PARKED CAR. LET SIT AND COOL DOWN. THERE WAS OIL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND COOLANT IN THE CAR. WE HAVE DONE ALL OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE REGULARLY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THEY CAME BACK STATING IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THAT BASICALLY THE CAR SUCKED IN COOLANT THROUGH THE ENGINE AND WAS BURNING (REASON FOR WHITE SMOKE). IT RUINED THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY WAS OVER AT 60K MILES........WE HAVE 65K AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DEFECT THAT...

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION WITH 67,000 MILES ON IT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS PRIOR YEARS ENGINES WITH COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE HEAD. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AS A RESULT. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD ANOTHER CAR - EXACT SAME AS MINE - WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE CAR WASN'T STARTING AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHLY, WITH LIQUID SWOOSHING AROUND IN THE CAR.

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO START, PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR HELPS BUT THE ENGINE WILL STALL SUDDENLY WITHIN A FEW MILES OF THE FILL UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR STREET WITH 1/4-1/2 TANK OF FUEL. THIS STALL IS PRECEEDED BY A LOUD, DISONATE NOISE FROM THE FUEL FILLER. THERE IS WWW INFORMATION REGARDING FAILED PURGE VALVES, BUT MOST INFORMATION IS FOR EARLIER MODELS. THE FOCUS RECALL SEEMS IDENTICAL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAUTION TO STAY OFF THE ROAD AFTER FUELING TILL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. CODES CHECKED WITH ONLY ONE READING COMING UP -A YEAR AGO.

SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, IT OCCASIONALLY SPUTTERS TO A STOP WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ONCE OR TWICE, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. EVENTUALLY, ON THE THIRD OR FORTH ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE RUNS FINE WITHOUT TROUBLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ABOUT ONCE EVERY FOUR TO SIX WEEKS. OTHER OWNERS REPORT THE ENGINE DYING WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM PARKED, RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, OR WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM, SO FAR.

ENGINE SPUTTERS, LOSES POWERS, AND STALLS. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AROUND 20-60 MINUTES AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN AND THEN IS ONCE AGAIN STARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. AFTER BEING PLACED IN GEAR AND DRIVEN A VERY SHORT DISTANCE (5-10 SECOND LOW SPEED TIME WISE) THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO EXHIBIT THE STALLING SYMPTOMS OF LOW RPM AND HESITATION AND ALL ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS WILL BEGIN TO MALFUNCTIONS, I.E. HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER, BRAKES WILL LOSE POWER, ACCELERATOR WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION EVEN IF DEPRESSED 100% AS CAR IS DRIVE BY WIRE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER AND NOT HAVING ALL CONTROL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONING AT 100% (THROTTLE, BRAKING, STEERING) ON ROADWAYS AND IN PARKING LOTS PLACES THE DRIVER, OTHER DRIVERS, AND ESPECIALLY PEDESTRIANS AT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH AS THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER AND OTHERS ARE NOT EXPECTING...

FILLED UP CAR W/ GAS, CAR SPUTTERED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. CAR SHUT OFF BUT POWER STAYED ON. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN, & IT SPUTTERED AGAIN. I THEN PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR TO GIVE GAS, AND CAR SPUTTERED AS I LET OFF, THEN DIED, BUT STILL HAD POWER. STARTED CAR FOR 3RD TIME, AND IT CONTINUED TO SPUTTER, I PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR, AND PUT IN DRIVE, AND AS I DROVE ABOUT 20 METERS, THE CAR SEEMED TO STILL SPUTTER. ONCE I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, AND GET UP TO 30 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR RAN FINE. CAR STARTED FINE THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT THEN IN THE EVENING IT DID IT AGAIN. I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON DUE TO BEING ON A MAIN ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACELLERATE AND STARTED SPUTTERING AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO HAS CAME ON DURING THIS PROCESS. I HAVE...

VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. RESTARTS FINE, SOMETIMES NOT DOING IT AGAIN FOR DAYS AND SOMETIMES DOING THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE SAME TRIP. USUALLY OCCURS UNDER 40 MPH, AND IS REALLY BECOMING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. 28,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

AFTER DRIVING SOME DISTANCE (20-30 MINUTES, 15-20 MILES) AND STOPPING FOR A SHORT BREAK (5-10 MINUTES) TO GROCERY SHOP, GET TAKE-OUT, ETC. STARTING THE CAR UP AGAIN AND GOING - IT STALLS. POWER STAYS ON, BUT ENGINE FLUCTUATES RPM IN A LUNGING FASHION BEFORE PUTTERING OUT. CAR CAN RESTART WITH STRAIN ON THE STARTER BUT WILL DO THE SAME THING AGAIN EVEN IF LEFT IDLING IN PARK AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO CRANK IT, LET THE ENGINE SETTLE FOR 5 SECONDS, PUT IN GEAR, LET SETTLE AGAIN, THEN GAIN RPMS FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH A HEAVY ACCELERATION. ONCE IT SHIFTS GEARS THE FIRST TIME IT SEEMS TO BEHAVE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, IT WAS STILL UNDER 30 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY WHEN CAR WAS SPUTTERING BADLY AT STANDING IDLE, DRIVING OR IN PARK AND EVEN LOST POWER. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2 AND CHANGED PLUGS AND COIL, HAD TO USE DEALER PARTS BECAUSE CAR REFUSED AFTER MARKET THAT SHOP WAS USING PER WARRANTY COMPANY. TOOK CAR HOME AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS CAR DID SAME THING SPUTTERING EVERY MORNING AND LOSS OF POWER TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SAID DIAGNOSTICS SHOWS THAT IT HAD LOST POWER BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING THEY COULD FIX. TOOK IT HOME ANOTHER FEW WEEKS/MONTH WENT BY AND SPUTTERING WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP AGAIN MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2, MECHANICS CHANGED PLUGS AGAIN. A MONTH LATER ENGINE SPUTTERING...

THERE IS AN OIL LEAK AT 67,000 MILES. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT FIRESTONE.

WHEN IN DRIVE THE CAR JERKS VERY HARD WHENEVER IT SWITCHES GEARS ALSO THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE FORCING ME TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON TO TRY IT AGAIN.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN ADDITION TO THIS RECALL, I HAVE 2 OUTSTANDING RECALLS WITH A REFUSAL TO WORK ON A MISFIRE AND ENGINE ISSUES. MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING ON THE ROAD, MISFIRING WITH NO WARNING, AND NO INFORMATION ON THESE COMMON ENGINE FAILURES WAS GIVEN TO ME. NO PROOF HAS BEEN GIVEN OF ISSUES AND AM BEING FORCED INTO PURCHASING A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN REFUSED ALL HELP AND HAVE BEEN WAITING ABOUT A MONTH FOR ANSWERS.

AWHILE BACK THE CAR STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES, THAT CAME FROM THE FUEL INLET BEHIND THE GAS DOOR, SOUNDING LIKE PRESSURE ESCAPING. PRESSING THE DOOR IN (CAPLESS FUEL TANK) CONFIRMS THIS, AS THE VACUUM IS RELEASED. CAR IDLES ROUGH, AND IN SOME CASES, AFTER REFUELING, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO QUITE A FEW FUSION OWNERS, WITH VIDEOS AND FORUMS POSTS TO VERIFY. FORD CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW OF THE ISSUE, BUT JUST TODAY ISSUED A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM FOR THE FOCUS MODEL CARS. IT IS THE 2.0L TURBO OR NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES, AND I HAVE THE 2.0L TURBO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTS OF CARS STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY, WITH A P1450 CODE.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE CUTTING OUT DURING ACCELERATION. IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE ECOBOOST ENGINE. FORD IS NOT TELLING ALL ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO THE ROADWAY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HAD A MESSAGE THAT SAID LOW COOLANT THAT CAME ON AND WENT OFF WITHIN 5-10SECOND , SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THEY STATED EVERYTHING WAS OK AND WORK FIND. A WEEK LATER, II WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND A MESSAGE CAME UP AND STAYED ON THAT SAYS LOW COOLANT. I PULL TO THE STORE TO CHECK MY COOLANT LEVEL WHICH WAS A LITTLE UNDER MAXIMUM LINE. I STARTED THE CAR BUT COULDN'T NOT GET IT TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND THIS TIME BUT BEING TOWED THIS TIME AND THE COMPANY SAID IT WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK INSIDE THE MOTOR DAMAGING MY CORD AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. SO NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THESE CORD.

RECALL # 18S20: HELLO THERE MY SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING WHICH HAS BEEN NAMED IN A RECALL FAILED LAST THURSDAY. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR GOT STUCK IN PARK, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS ROLLING AND THE DISPLAY SAID THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS VISIBLE AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I GOOGLED A PICTURE OF THE PART JUST TO CONFIRM AND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WHITE PIECES AND CORROSION THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND WERE REMNANTS OF THE CABLE BUSHING WHICH LOOKS LIKE A WHITE BEAD. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 18S20 AND THE NOTICE INSTRUCTS ME TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL FORD DEALERS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE DEALER (BOB LOWTH FORD, 3010 BEMIDJI AVE, BEMIDJI, MN 56601, 218-308-6938) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE PURGE VALVE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO REMEDY OTHER THAN THE DEALER REPLACING THE PART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT WITH A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, STALLED, AND WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. **TR *JS

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE MISFIRES DECREASE IN POWER AND COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATION. IT ALSO USES A GREAT DEAL OF FUEL. THE COOLANT CONSTANTLY LEAKS OUT AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THE CAR ALSO OVERHEATS WHEN SITTING IN A PARKED POSITION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SLOWED TO 25MPH. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

TAKATA RECALL. FIRST IS DUE WE HAD WAS THIS TIME LAST YEAR WHERE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET CAUSED US TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE AT 52,000. TODAY WE GO TO LEAVE AN THE CAR SAYS IT'S IN N WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY IN PARK. WILL NOT ALLOW US TO MOVE SHIFTER BUT THE KEY IS ABLE TO BE REMOVED AS WELL AS YOU CAN EASILY PUSH THE CAR AND MOVE IT LIKE IT WAS IN N AGAIN WITH NO KEY IN IGNITION. PLEASE HELP DIRECT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOT I WENT OVER A BUMP AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ODOMETER IS AT APPROXIMATELY 44000. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS BUT I WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. THE CAR JUST SLOWED SUDDENLY. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE FORD COULD GET THE CODE TO SHOW UP. IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

WRENCH LIGHT IS ON ONCE I START THE CAR (STILL IN PARK) IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 FEET AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ONCE I HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY CAR DOES NOT GO FORWARD AND IF IT DOES IT WILL SLOWLY JUT FORWARD, REPEATS THIS ACTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ONCE CAR IS RESTARTED THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNS OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE SEPERATE TIMES ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS APART EACH TIME. FORD CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. VERY SCARY TO TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED (ABOUT 10 MPH) IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUT OFF. AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS STALLING OR JUTTING FORWARD, AND THEN THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO PARK, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF ONCE MORE AS I WAS EXITING. I PARKED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CAR SHOP IN WHICH THEY WERE UNABLE TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS AS A DAY LATER THEY WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT PERFECTLY NORMALLY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO.

IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE MIS-FIRING. TOOK TO DEALER AND DEALER PULLED FAULT CODE FOR #3 CYLINDER MIS-FIRE AND RECOMMENDED SPARK PLUG CHANGE. HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND CAR SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. FEBRUARY 2018 THE PROBLEM GOT MUCH WORSE AND ACTUALLY STALLED FOR COOLANT TEMPERATURE BUT THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY AGAIN DIAGNOSED #3 CYLINDER MIS-FIRE. CYLINDER PRESSURE TEST FAILED. DEALER TOOK ENGINE APART AND FOUND THAT SIGNS OF OVERHEATING IN JUST THAT CYLINDER WHICH DAMAGED THE CYLINDER GASKET AND ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER. THE CYLINDER WAS DAMAGED AND THE DEALER REQUEST ENGINE CHANGE. THERE IS A FORD RECALL VERY SIMILAR TO THIS FOR LIKE VEHICLES BUT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THE RECALL # IS 17V209000. FORD'S RECALL # IS 17S09. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT...

MY 2015 FUSION SE GEAR WILL NOT SHIFT. IT IS STUCK AND REVERSE. TRIED TO SHIFT GEARS AND NOW THAT MY CAR IS NOT IN PARK ENGINE WILL NOT TURN ON. I JUST GOT MY CAR TWO MONTHS AGO. A RELATIVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE SHIFT CABLE.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER FUELING VEHICLE

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND WITHIN 15 MIN OF DRIVING OFF THE LOT IT STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE DRIVE THRU AND THEN AGAIN WHEN PULLING ONTO THE ROAD AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HIT US. TERRIFYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND OFTEN THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER. SPUTTERS AND THEN THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND TAKES OFF. OFTEN DURING DRIVING THE RPM GAUGE WILL SPIKE, LOSS OF POWER OCCURS AND THEN THE VEHICLE JERKS AND POWER IS RESTORED. DOES NOT MATTER THE LENGTH OF TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERY DAY, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 2-12-2018, USED WITH 46XXX MILES ON IT.

IMAGINE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY YOU SUFFER COMPLETE ENGINE POWER LOSS. THE POWER STEERING, BRAKING, LIGHTING AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL SO YOU HAVE NO CLEAR CLUE ON WHAT IS OCCURRING, HOWEVER YOU KNOW THE VEHICLE NO LONGER REMAINS OPERATIONAL AND YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

CAR STOPPED DEAD WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON HIGHTWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TRIED TO START CAR IT STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES ONCE STARTED ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO ONLY REPLACED BATTERY. CAR ENGINE LIGHT STILL GOING ON AND IT IS STILL STALLING. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 6 MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPEND TO THIS FORD FUSION IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

IN OCTOBER 2017 MY FUSION STALLED OUT FOUR TIMES (THREE VARIOUS DAYS AND ONE DAY 15 MINUTES BETWEEN STALLS) AND AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 4TH. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH; FOUR TIMES ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE IN A PARKING LOT. IN EACH CASE I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE AND THEN STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (1/2 HOUR OR SO). WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY THE CAR WOULD START NORMALLY AND THEN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE AND MOVING IT WOULD START TO SPUTTER AND SHAKE AND THEN STALL OUT. IN EACH CASE NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WOULD WAIT A FEW SECONDS, PRESS THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK A FEW TIMES, AND THEN IT WOULD START. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO SAYVILLE FORD LOCATED AT 5686 SUNRISE HWY, SAYVILLE, NY 11782 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND BEING BURNED INSIDE THE ENGINE MANIFOLD AND THE COOLER INTAKE MANIFOLD, RELATED GASKETS AND SEALS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SABLE FORD, WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. ..UPDATED 10/25/17 *BF *JS

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY FUSION STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I LOST POWER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING AND NOT MANY PEOPLE WERE ON THE ROAD. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OTHERWISE.

WHILE GOING IN REVERSE DOWN AN INCLINE ALL THE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AND STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND BRAKING AT THE SAME TIME. ON THE CITY STREETS IS WHEN IT WAS FIRST NOTICE. AFTER HAVING THE DEALER COMPUTER READ OUT AND MY REPAIR SHOP READ OUT BOTH SAID THE SAME THING. THIS REPAIR HAD TO BE MADE. RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL ABS SENSOR AND HARNESS AND HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE WHEEL SPEED ABS SENSOR AND HARNESS. I HAVE UPLOADED ALL REPAIR/BILL AND DIAGNOSTICS ON THIS 2015 CAR. NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE MAKER AS OF YET AND I HAVE CALLED THE MAKER OF THIS CAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT AND ALSO ON LINE TO THE FACEBOOK WEBSITE AND HAVE FILED A REPORT. UPDATED 06/01/17*LJ *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONING AND SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE VENTS. THE CONTACT HAD TO STOP AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ISSUED AN UNINTENTIONAL FIRE REPORT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND ALSO FILED A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE OVERHEATED. CHECKED COOLANT LEVEL, AND IT WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. I REFILLED COOLANT TO RECOMMENDED LEVEL, AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE. TWO WEEKS LATER, IT OVERHEATED AGAIN, AND MY COOLANT WAS LOW AGAIN. REFILLED AND MONITORED FOR LEAKS. NO LEAKS. THEN VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING. DIAGNOSED WITH CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS. STILL MISFIRING. REDIAGNOSED WITH CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. THEN IT JUST DIED. WOULD NOT START. ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS FLOODING. DIAGNOSED WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES BY DEALERSHIP. THEN DISCOVERED TSB FOR A BOLT THAT WAS BACKING OUT OF THE INTERCOOLER AND INTO THE MANIFOLD. THIS ISSUE WAS ALLOWING COOLANT TO FLOOD THE MANIFOLD AND CAUSE MISFIRING. GOT THAT FIXED AS WELL AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TURBO UNIT FOR THE CAR WHICH WERE DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE COOLANT ISSUE. $5,000 IN REPAIRS FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE...

VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE... WARNING LIGHT WOULD BLINK AND CAR WOULD GET EXTREMELY HOT... COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE, INTERNAL LEAK, SO WARNING LIGHT WOULD APPEAR ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTENANCE AND NOTHING DONE BY OWNER TO CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE
