2016 FORD FUSION Engine Problems

THE ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDERS, FOULING OUT THE SPARK PLUG CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISS FIRE. WITH THIS HAPPENING, IT'S USING ANTIFREEZE BURNING IT OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE , WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, I HEARD IT CAN BLOW THE ENGINE AND IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK ONE MORNING. I GOT MY CODE READER AND PLUGGED IT IN, IT SHOWED P0301 AND P0304 ( GENERIC CODE FOR MISFIRE ON CYLINDERS 1 AND 4). I FIGURED I HAD BAD SPARK PLUGS OR IGNITION COILS SO I REPLACED THEM WITH ALL NEW PARTS. DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED AGAIN WHEN STARTING MY CAR. PLUGGED THE CODE READER BACK IN, SAME CODE READINGS. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN SO I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND THE SAME CODES. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSORS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I WAS...

ENGINE IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDERS

OVERHEATING, AT FIRST COOLANT MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS, WHITE SMOKE, FUNNY BUZZING SOUND, WEIRD SMELL, LIKE WATER SWOOSHING SOUNDS, WATER IN THE OIL, AS THE COOLANT LEAK OUT THE CAR WOULD STALL AND KINDA SPUDDER LIKE MIS-FIRE. WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE BLOCK. I FINANCED MY 2016 WITH ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME I BELIEVED IT WAS A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE, NOR CAN I BREAK THE CONTRACT ON MY TERMS OF FINANCING THE PURCHASE. I FEEL SOL AND CHEATED. PLEASE CONTINUE THE RECALL TO THE 2016 MODELS AS I'VE BEEN OVERALL HAPPY WITH MY FORDS IN THE PAST AS WELL AS MY SECOND, MOST RECENT 2016 FUSION. I KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THEY HAVE FOUND THE FIX FOR EARLIER MODELS. PLEASE HELP FIX MINE SO I CAN DRIVE CONFIDENTLY AND SAFELY ON THE...

CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WOULD STALL AFTER PUMPING GAS WOULD OVERHEAT WHEN IDLING. FANS WERE NOT TURNING ON CANISTER PURGE VALVE STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE FUEL TANK AND OXYGEN SENSOR TO FAIL.. RUNS ROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA 93907) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH COOLANT IN THE EXHAUST AND CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW ENGINE. THE BRAKE LINES FAILED AND WERE ALSO REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS PARTIALLY REIMBURSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

AT 78,000 MILES MY CAR HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON UPON STARTING THE ENGINE FOLLOWED BY A DROP IN POWER UPON STARTING IT. THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED OFF ON MY WAY TO THE SHOP, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY IT CAME ON AND TURNED OFF. ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN AND I HAD IT CHECKED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A 'CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE' WITH A ERROR CODE P0301. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS ALL REPLACED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER EXPERIENCING A DROP IN POWER UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. AND SHORTLY TURNED OFF AGAIN. I THEN RECEIVED A 'HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE' WARNING WHILE DRIVING, AND MADE A STOP TO REFILL MY COOLANT HOUSING TO THE 'MAX' LINE. NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED THE SAME 'HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE' WARNING...

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FUSION AND I JUST RECENTLY BEGAN EXPERIENCING CODE P302 AND LOSING COOLANT. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON AND ONLY GOT WORSE. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS MY CAR LITERALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON A BUSY ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE SHUT OFF APPARENTLY WAS DUE TO AN ENGINE COOLANT FAILURE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD THAT COOLANT IS MORE THAN LIKELY LEAKING AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA CONCERNING THIS MATTER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO OVER 6K FOR A NEW MOTOR. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND MY CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT...

I GOT A 2016 FORD FUSION. I GOT A CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. HAD IT FIX 2 TIME. BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. TOOK MY FOR TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD COMPANIES AN THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I GOT TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. ONE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GONNA BE 6300$ AN THE OTHER FOR SAY 9300$ COOLING HAVE REACH THE 3 CYLINDER AN CAUSE MISFIRE. BOTH FORD SAID IT WAS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CALL THE FORD PLATE AN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY KNOW IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AN STILL WILL NOT HELP. IF ANYONE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? MY CAR HAVE OVER HEATING EVERYDAY.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON 2016 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST CAME ON. DIAGNOSTICS DISPLAYED CODE P300. I PAID TO HAVE THIS FIXED 2 TIMES. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND THEY ADVISED IT WAS A COOLANT LEAK IN THE ENGINE. THEY ADVISED IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT WOULDN'T FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS UP ON THE VEHICLE. UPON DOING RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS IDLING ROUGH SO I TOOK IT BY AUTOZONE TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT SHOWED P0300, CYLINDER MISFIRE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF SO THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS THINKING THIS WOULD FIX IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, WITH THE ADDITION OF WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST, WHILE IDLING. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE SECOND TIME, THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE AND IT WASN'T SMOKING. THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT IDLED ROUGH AND THEN DIED. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, ON A CITY STREET, WHITE SMOKE...

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE CODE WAS P0304, WHICH IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 4. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE DUE FOR A CHANGE, SO I CHANGED THEM, THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER USED WHEN FILLING UP. THE NEW SPARK PLUGS DID NOT MAKE THE ENGINE LIGHT GO AWAY AFTER CLEARING THE CODE. I TESTED THE IGNITION COILS, AND THEY ARE FINE. ALSO, THE COOLANT LEVEL IS OFTEN LOW, AND I HAVE TO PUT A QUART IN A WEEK. IT IS NOT LEAKING FROM ANYWHERE. I STARTED RESEARCHING, AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER FORD FUSIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO A CYLINDER, AND GIVING THE MISFIRE ON A CERTAIN CYLINDER CODE.

THERE IS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. DIAGNOSED AS A COOLANT LEAK. IT IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS IN THE 2017 FUSION THAT HAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE DUE TO COOLANT LEAK.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS RUNNING ROUGH. IT ALSO BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND RUN LOW ON COOLANT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A MISFIRE IN CYCLINDER 1. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE CYCLINDER AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I RESEARCHED THIS AND SAW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING VERY OFTEN TO ENGINES LIKE MINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS BUT THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO MY CYLINDERS CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.

CYL 2 MISFIRE SINCE 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT CAR AT 56K MILES. NOW OVERHEATING, COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE AT RATE OF ABOUT A GALLON/WEEK. STILL HAVE 5 YEARS OWED ON A $350/MO YARD ORNAMENT. FORD IS AWEFULL!!! SAME JUNK AS THE 1.6L THEY "FIXED."

FORD DEALERSHIP IS STATING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 1.5L ENGINE AND FORD IS AWARE OF IT. THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THE TRANSMISSION GO AT THE SAME TIME. ESTIMATED REPAIRS ARE $6,300. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, REGULARLY MAINTAINED, WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. JUST TURNED 4 YEARS OLD.

I HAVE A CAR HEALTH MONITOR PLUGGED INTO MY OBD II PORT, IT'S OUT JUST ONE DAY READ (CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE) SO I DRIVE TO WORK AND THEN CALL HILTOP FORD (RICHMOND CA)TO BRING IT IN TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG. THEY PERFORMED RECALLS BUT AS FAR THE ISSUE I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THEY SAID, THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. AND DIRECTLY AFTER TELLING ME THIS AND ME LEAVING I GET A CALL FROM THE SALES DEPARTMENT TRYING TO SET UP AND APPOINTMENT TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE! SO NOW I'M OF THE MINDSET THAT SOMETHING IS FISHY. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC I KNOW, DURING THAT RIDE MY CAR BEGINS TO OVERHEAT, OFF AND ON. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC HE RAN HIS DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME YEAH MY I HAVE A...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000.

MY CAR WAS SERVICED BY KOONS FORD IN BALT, MD FROM MAY 26TH-28TH TO ADDRESS A RECALL THAT REQUIRED REMOVAL OF MY ENGINE. AFTER THE REPAIR, MY CAR SAT IN MY PARKING SPACE AT HOME THE WHOLE WEEKEND DUE TO COVID-19. ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, JUNE 1ST, MY CAR ENGINE EXPLODED ON I83 WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS USING MY CAR TO GO TO WORK. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FIRE AND TOTALED. FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE CABIN STARTED TO FILL WITH SMOKE AND JUMP OUT. KOONS FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD "SHRINK WRAP" MY CAR AT THE LOT THE POLICE HAD IT TOWED TO AND BRING IT BACK TO "INVESTIGATE HOW THE FIRE STARTED." THEY LIED AND THEN TOLD MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE FIRE. IN ADDITION, WHILE I WAS...

I HAVE COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE CYLINDERS. BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO FROM CARVANA BEFORE PURCHASE HAD A FULL INSPECTION DONE. A YEAR LATER I HAD PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SPITTING AND MISFIRING. LOCAL MECHANIC CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND LEADS. BUT NOTICED BAD DISCOLORATION ON THE SPARK PLUGS. IVE BEEN CONTINUING TO HAVE TO ADD COOLANT AND THE CAR IS RUNNING EVER WORSE.

SLOW TO START, WHEN IT DID START THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE IN PARK CAR WOULD SHAKE AND I COULD HEAR A BOILING NOISE. WHEN DRIVING IT WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE, WHEN IT DID ACCELERATE IT WOULD JUMP AS IF IT WAS CATCHING UP WITH ITSELF. EVERY 5 MINS OR SO A NOTIFICATION WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAID COOLANT TEMPERATE OVER HEATING. TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH COOLANT INSIDE OF THE ENGINE IT WOULDN'T UNPLUG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHGATE FORD (8940 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (513)385-1414 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #4.

WITHIN THE PAST WEEK I HAVE HAD TO TWO MY CAR TWICE. BOTH TIMES WERE DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE. MY PROBLEM BEGAN WEDNESDAY JULY 1, 2020 WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH. TO GIVE CONTEXT MY CAR HAD BEEN STARTING PRETTY ROUGHLY FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS. AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I HAD A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TEST IT AND IT CAME BACK SHOWING A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2. I WAS TOLD THAT I MORE THAN LIKELY NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A NEW IGNITION COIL. THE CODE WAS RESET UNTIL I COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT WAS THE WEEKEND OF JULY 4TH I WAS UNABLE TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT. THE NEXT WEEK ON TUESDAY JULY 7, 2020 MY CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AGAIN TO HAVE THE PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED. ON...

AT 55K MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. WE ARE TOLD THAT THERE IS A COOLANT INTRUSION IN A CYLINDER AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY STARTED JUNE 26, 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED INTO THE DEALER 6/30/2020, 4 DAYS AFTER THE 5 YEAR/60 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. DAYS EXPIRED, NOT MILAGE. WE ARE BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE THAT WOULD BE INSTALLED IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED DUE TO THE KNOWN DEFECT.

COOLANT IS LEAKING THROUGH THE CYLINDER CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE WHEN STARTED AND EMIT WHITE SMOKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE IS P0302.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND CAR TEMPERATURE SPIKED ALL THE WAY TO HOT AND WARNING CAME ON TO PULL OVER VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING. PULLED OVER AND OPENED HOOD AND ANTIFREEZE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. FILLED RESERVOIR TO MAX LEVEL AND DROVE 5 MILES HOME. NEXT DAY CHECKED FLUID AND IT WAS LOW. FILLED RESERVOIR AGAIN. STARTED CAR AND IT RAN REALLY ROUGH AT IDLE. DROVE 2 MILES CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN. CHECKED FLUID AND IT WAS VERY LOW. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND ENGINE CRACKED, FLUID LEAKING INTO CYLINDER. VEHICLE NEEDS NEW ENGINE. 116,000 MILES AT TIME OF BREAKDOWN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UPON MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN THE CITY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHTS ALL LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD, BASICALLY FELT LIKE THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT. I'M NOT SURE THE CAUSE OF THIS OR HOW IT CAN BE RESOLVED. I ALSO NOTICED EVERYTIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE AND START IT UP THE RPMS WILL DROP AS IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AND BECOMES HESITANT FOR A FEW MINS WHILE PARKED AT THE PUMP AND THEN IT IDLES BACK NORMAL. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO THE ENGINE WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE CYLINDER. THE SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE LONG BLOCK OF THE ENGINE. THE COOLANT LEAKS WHILE THE CAR IS OFF CAUSING A VERY ROUGH START, AND EVENTUALLY THE COOLANT REACHES A LEVEL WHERE IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE MOTOR COOL, CAUSING OVERHEATING. *TR

2016 FORD FUSION WAS SPUTTERING WHEN STARTED AND KILLED ONCE. I HAD RECENTLY BROUGHT IT TO FORD AND MY COOLANT WAS VERY LOW. THEY SAID MY SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. GOT IT BACK AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS WORSE. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD THEY THEN TOLD ME MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT WAS IN MY CYLINDERS AND ON SPARK PLUGS. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT ADDRESS THIS WHEN THEY CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS 3 DAYS PRIOR. YOU KNOW DARN GOOD AND WELL THEY SAW THIS AND DID A COMPRESSION TEST ON MY CYLINDERS. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY FORD FUSIONS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE MY ENGINE WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN DEFAULT. IT IS GOING TO COST ME ALMOST 7000 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS WHEN ITS A DEFAULT IN THE ENGINE. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 70000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH WHEN STARTED BUT WOULD SMOOTH OUT AND OPERATE FINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS AND WOULD REPEAT EVERY WEEK OR SO. AT 73000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS P0301 AND P0316 CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. PRESSURE TESTED COOLANT SYSTEM LOSING PRESSURE. TRIED TO REMOVE #1 SPARKPLUG COULD NOT BE REMOVED. DIAGNOSED "MOST LIKELY NEEDS A LONG BLOCK BECAUSE OF SPARK THREADS AND SHORT BLOCK ISSUES WITH THESE". ESTIMATED COST $7000. THE DEALER FILED A REQUEST WITH FORD FOR COST RELIEF WHICH, AFTER A WEEK, WAS DENIED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND ASKED FOR HELP ON ESCALATING THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE DEALER FILE AN APPEAL WHICH I HAVE REQUESTED. SEEMS LIKE...

STARTED OUT AS CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE, NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING, I REPLACED PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, DID NOT HELP. THEN ENGINE OVER HEATED, CHECKED COOLANT WHICH WAS LOW. SHORTLY AFTER REALIZED COOLANT HAS BEEN LEAKING TO NOWHERE AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FIND OUT THIS A PROBLEM FORD KNOWS ABOUT, SO IM HOPING THEY ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

COOLANT STARTED LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR FOUR YEARS AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM FORD AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND JERKED ABNORMALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CHECK MANUAL MESSAGE WAS ALSO DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREENWAY FORD (9001 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (888) 984-4895) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,888.

MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE. A FEW DAYS AGO, IT SUDDENLY OVER HEATED. FLUID LEVELS WERE FINE. AFTER LETTING IT COOL OFF, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT'S BEEN RUNNING FINE AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY. OUT OF NOWHERE, IT OVER HEATED AND ONCE AGAIN FLUID LEVELS WERE FINE. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND DROVE IT HOME WHICH WAS ONE STREET OVER. IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND AS SOON AS I TURNED IN THE DRIVEWAY, WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. *TR

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW 4 AND 1/2 YEARS AGO AND HAS 104,000 MILES. ALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE CAR DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR WAS OKAY 3 MONTHS AGO. ONE DAY, THE ENGINE STARTING RUNNING ROUGH WITH WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT PULLED A CODE P02300, WHICH MEANS THE #2 CYLINDER IS MISFIRING. FROM OUR RESEARCH, THE 2017 FORD FUSION HAD A RECALL ON THE EXACT SAME ENGINE FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS ALSO A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY FORD SERVICE DEALERSHIPS. THE FIX FOR THIS IS REPLACING THE ENGINE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. SEVERAL MONTH'S AGO I HEARD WATER SLOSHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, OVERHEATING LIGHT ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS. THE CAR SHUT OFF ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET FROM BEHIND. THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING. REPLACED WATER PUMP, COIL PACK, PLUGS, SEVERAL SENSORS. DDREOVER AGAIN VEH SHUT OFF SAMETHING. TOOK TO SHOP #1 FOUND COOLANT IN THE ENGINE CRACK BLOCK. NOW ITS AT FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED SAMEE AS SHOP #1. CALLED FORD THEY STATED NOTHING THEY WILL DO. FORRDD EXPERT SAID SEVERAL HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT NO RECALL YET

SO THIS STARTED JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO I NOTICED I HAD LOW COOLANT, I HAD SERVICED MY CAR RECENTLY SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY JUST FORGOT TO ADD SOME, IT WASN'T BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE BUT IT WAS GETTING NEAR SO I TOPPED IT OFF, WELL NOT I NOTICE MY COOLANT IS LEAKING FURTHER MORE AND MORE, I'VE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO RECALL ISSUES THERE SHOULD BE, PEOPLE ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT AND I FEAR I'M GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ALSO, THEY CLAIM THE 2ND PISTON GOES OUT DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT, FORD LIED ABOUT THEIR FORD FOCUS AND NOW IT'S THEIR FORD FUSION.

ON FEBRUARY 11TH 2020, I PURCHASED A 2016 FORD FUSION WITH 73,000 MILES FROM AMERICAN CAR CENTER IN WEST COLUMBIA, S C. ON FEBRUARY 23RD I WAS RIDING ON I26 AND MY CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND ALL MY ANTIFREEZE AND AND WATER WAS SPOUTING OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. I PUT ENOUGH WATER BACK IN IT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS ON BROAD RIVER ROAD, COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE THERMOSTAT AND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. PEP BOYS HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS TO REPAIR. I GET THE CAR BACK ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2020. THE CAR WAS FINE UNTIL MARCH 12TH. THAT MORNING I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HEARD A BLUNT SOUND COMING FROM...

THROTTLE BODY/FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR THE EARLIER FUSION MODELS, BUT NOT THE 2016 MODELS, AND THAT RECALL SHOULD BE UPDATED. WHILE EITHER DRIVING UNDER 40MPH OR SITTING IDLE, THE CAR'S ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE THE ELECTRICS WOULD REMAIN ON. THIS CAN CAUSE OTHER VEHICLES TO CRASH INTO ME AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE.

OUT OF NO WHERE 2.5 ENGINE BLOCK ISSUES NO ACCIDENTS MAINTENANCE STAYS UP TO DATE AT ALL TIMES DIDN'T HIT OR BUMP ANYTHING WHEN TO MY CAR ONE MORNING AND IT STARTED SOUNDING LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK WHEN IN IDLE OR PARK NOISE NOT AS LOUD WHEN N DRIVE

ENGINE HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE CYLINDERS AND CAUSE DAMAGE REQUIRING A COMPLETE LONG BLOCK REPLACEMENT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE OVERHEATS. THIS HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY NO IT IS IN AN ISSUE AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN THE 2017-PRESENT VERSIONS OF THE FUSION

MY CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN I'M AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A COMMENT COMES ON THE DASH THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE " TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT WORDS BECAUSE WHENEVER IT DOES IT I'M LOOKING TO GET TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE SO I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE CAR LOSE ALL POWER GOING 70 MPH. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 5 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES WHEN IT'S HAPPENED BUT THE LAST TIME IT DID I WAS TRAVELING IN KANSAS CITY AND...
