Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. the contact stated that upon starting her vehicle, the vehicle began smoking from the tailpipe and was emitting a gas odor. the contact was unaware if any warning lights illuminated on the vehicle. the contact had the vehicle towed to tindol ford located at 1901 e franklin blvd, gastonia, nc 28054 where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective injector which caused the fuel to seep through the injector and mix with the oil, causing the failure. the vehicle had not been repaired after the diagnosis. the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000. *dt*jb
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. as i pulled out of my neighborhood i noticed more pushback as i accelerated the idol and my engine light started flashing. 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. as a consumer, i'd like to report the head gasket in the 2015 ford fusion 2.5l to the nhtsa for review and re-call consideration.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. the contact stated that while driving at high speeds, there was an abnormal sound coming from the fuel tank. while the vehicle was stopped, the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts however, the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to ed butts ford (1515 n hacienda blvd, la puente, ca 91744, (800) 960-3673) but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was unknown.
2015 ford fusion 1.5l ecoboost engine. engine coolant leak - blown inner cooler assembly and coolant intake manifold assembly. problem initially noticed while driving on freeway. engine temperature guage momentarily spiked while driving. no smoke or unusual noise noticed while driving. pulled over and noticed coolant overflow tank near empty. coolant refilled an driven home. this happened on 9/28/2019. took to ntb next day on 9/29/2019 to have pressure test on coolant system. car sat till monday 10/30. ntb misdiagnosed issues stating overflow reservoir had slow leak. on 10/1 ntb identified that there was a blown gasket somewhere on the cars engine that caused coolant to leak into engine. 3 of 4 spark plugs saturated with engine coolant and car would not start. on 10/1 car immediately towed to nearest ford motor service center. engine technician stated that engine inner cooler assembly and intake manifold assembly had blown and coolant entered the engine. this resulted in nearly $1,400 worth of initial repairs and poses a safety hazard. ford engine technician stated he has seen a similar issues on quite a few of these cars. upon investigation i have found that in 2017 the 2013-2014 ford fusion had a recall for related issues that caused coolant to leak into the engine and may possibly cause the engine to start on fire. currently many customer reports on the 2015 fusion as well but no action on ford motors behalf.
Started car, got dashboard light on 7.6.19 mileage 27721. car running rough, about to stall,etc. error code p0302. cyl.#2 ignition coil replaced. then, 2 weeks later got dashboard light again, same code p0302. mechanic (private)replaced perceived faulty ignition coil as previous. on 9.23 .19 car started,. car runs rough, almost stalls dashboard lights again. this time we take it to royal oak ford service dept. they get p0302 and advise us to change spark plugs. $307.29 charge. upon inspection of spark plugs i note all plugs are heavily coated in carbon. i check the tailpipe and the inside is also heavily carbon coated. shortly after i find information that most direct inject engines have this problem. it was not hard info to find. because of direct injection the valves do not receive the benefit of detergent gasolines and become heavily coated in carbon. this is an oversimplified explanation of what is occurring., but makes the point. i confirm findings with and show plugs to, my mechanic who confirms ;that these direct inject engines have an issue the manufacturers can't or haven't corrected, which results in the condition my spark plugs were found in. i found notsb's on the subject. mechanic recommends a gdi service, which includes pulling all valves and cleaning them. he also recommends anyone with a di engine to do this at least once a year to keep vehicle running smoothly and to get maximum life out of the plugs. by the way, first service interval for plugs on this car is 100,000 miles. this is the experience i've been exposed to so far, but do know that it can get much worse (affecting other parts of the engine) fwiw the mechanic believes the manufacturers (in this case ford) are well aware of these issues with direct inject designed engines. pic of plugs incl. below.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. while driving at any speed, the air bag indicator illuminated and flashed on and off. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v590000 (seat belts) and another unknown recall letter regarding the air bags. the contact took the vehicle to bob rohrman schaumburg ford (847-605-0800, located at 815 east golf road, schaumburg, il 60173) where the dealer stated that there was no recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was called, but the line was busy. the failure mileage was approximately 139,888. *as the consumer stated the engine, stability control, transmission lights have all illuminated. the vehicle broken down twice. *js
Engine showed hot and went into shutdown mode within a mile, took to ford the next day they reset computer and added a little fluid. service department said to keep an eye on the coolant level on my trip total to be around 1200 miles. car needed coolant added along the way but did okay on the highway. on my way back about 150 miles into my trip the engine temp went up for a sec then back down so i pulled over within a mile by this time you could smell something was wrong. after letting the engine cool for a while i tried adding coolant and it poured out the bottom of engine. ford tells me it needs a new engine due to a cracked block that is becoming a common issue with these cars.
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.
Service engine light came on and the car was running good. dealer checked it out couldn't find anything at first, pin pointed to cylinder 1. dealer pressurized the cylinder to check for leaks, found a crack in the cylinder wall. i took it to another shop for a second option, they did the same check and found the same crack.vehicle only has 87k on it. both shops are telling me i need a new engine. i still have another year to pay on this vehicle.
Brought car in for service due to check engine light and battery not charging. replaced battery, but check engine light remained on. again, went to get get diagnostic, resulted in needing catalytic converter. picked up car and check engine light came back on. returned to service next day. 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. while the vehicle was parked on an incline, it rolled backwards. the contact used the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was towed to hawk ford of oak lawn (708-599-6000, located at 6100 w 95th st, oak lawn, il 60453) where it was diagnosed that the transmission linkage chain fractured. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure worsened. in addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and blinked. also the 'pull over and stop the engine' warning indicator illuminated. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 83,000. the vin was unknown.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited multiple failures. the vehicle lost power independently and the brake pedal failed to engage while driving. also, after fueling the vehicle, the engine failed to start. furthermore, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. the vehicle was taken to elk grove ford (9645 auto center drive, elk grove, ca 95757, (916) 478-7000) where it was determined that the windshield wiper fluid penetrated the brake fluid. the brake lines, calipers, and the battery were replaced twice; however, the repairs did not correct the failures and the vehicle continued to stall. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failures. the manufacturer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was not available.
On june 9th 2019 the check engine light came on my 2015 fusion while driving in the city. i took the car to the dealership on june 10th for a oil change and notified them the engine light was on. they performed the 'works' service and told me the light was not on. the light was on when i pulled in the parking lot so it is my belief they cleared the code without performing a diagnostic test. june 29 the engine light came back on. june 30 i stop at an auto parts store that does a free diagnostic. the results were misfire on cylinder 2. i took the car back to the dealership july 1st and presented them with the information from the auto parts store. they confirmed the misfire and replaced the coil pack and the spark plug. on july 3 after driving 100+ highway miles i parked the car and several hours later when i returned the car stalled when i started it. it took 3 attempts before the car started. the engine was sputtering and the light came on briefly. july 12th, the engine light came back on while on the interstate. the car continued to drive normally. i parked the car at my home. july 15th started the car i could hear the sound of water rushing through the dash. i drove the car 3 miles to the dealership and noticed white smoke coming from the tailpipe. i left it for a diagnostic evaluation. the following week the dealership calls to tell me the car needs extensive engine repairs heads, gaskets, etc. august comes and the dealership still has my car. a few weeks later i'm told the parts are on back order and there is no expected arrival date. oct 30 all parts are in and the repairs start. the repairs were completed and the engine failed at the dealership. i'm told on nov 7 they are ordering a new engine. the engine was installed and repairs were complete on nov 15th, more than 4 months later! this is a common problem and ford needs to take responsibility!!
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
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
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!
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving and would not restart. the vehicle was taken to felix sabates ford lincoln (7601 south blvd, charlotte, nc 28273) where it was determined not to be included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v735000 (fuel system). the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 69,200. *bf*jb
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. while accelerating from a stop, the motor bolts fractured. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer. interstate ford (800 bryan court, dacono, co 80514, (303) 833-6700) that the motor bolts needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 63,000.
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 on their end. also the intake manifold was replaced at 46k miles. how can ford state that they are not responsible? we paid $16k for a car we have had barely over a year and now a pile of scrap metal.
My check engine light came on and it indicated low coolant and misfire in cylinder 4. i had a coolant leak into cylinder 4 in my engine at approx 69,000 miles and was advised i needed a new engine block... their were 3 other cars at the dealership with the exact same issue. i was told it would cost approx 7500... after complaining to service dept they opened a case with ford and they agreed to do it for approx 2500 as it was just out of 60,000 warranty and just over 3 years old. service advisor said ford had a known issue with head gasket apparently moving and wearing out which caused the issue. approx 8 months later exact same issue and i needed another engine change. this time the dealership had 7 cars in shop with same issue waiting on engine changes.again was told ford has issues w head gasket moving and wearing out gasket allowing coolant to leak into cylinder. supposedly ford has upgraded their gaskets and other parts to correct issue but i dont believe the customers should bear responsibility when ford has known issue that costs customers such a big amount. i know it was just past orig warranty but this is a ford engineering problem that customers and bearing brunt of costs. the second engine change was covered under warranty but im concerned about it happening again or the loss of value from 2 engine changes in less than 80k miles. the date entered below is an estimate. engine was changed twice in 2019 and less than 10k miles in between.
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and shook while depressing the accelerator pedal. the contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic. a diagnostic was performed and the mechanic stated that the failure was related to other recalls, and the contact's vin may be included in one. the contact called bell ford (1200 nj-27, colonia, nj 07067, 732-388-6900) and was informed that the vin was excluded from any recalls. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the same thing as the dealer. the manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa to file a vehicle safety complaint. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.
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 the vehicle to act in such a manner and may not react accordingly. a pedestrian may not react properly to a car that lacks its normal stopping power, another vehicle may not stop for a car that is not accelerating as it was and is expected, etc. i was approached randomly at a gas station by another owner of a similar ford fusion describing the same symptoms asking if my car did this and explained to her that based on my research she's not alone and many other owners experience this same problem. many dealers appear to be able unable to diagnose/resolve the issue, and my 2 attempts to contact a dealer to obtain service for the problem have resulted in the dealership not responding to the online service request form. i have had at least 4 stalling events now and am unable to obtain warranty services as dealerships have not responded to my maintenance requests. i have footage saved of the headlights flickering and vehicle stalling in a parking lot at low speed.
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.
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 taken into auto shop and it reads that fuel pressure sensor needs replaced: code p0087 fuel rail/system pressure - too low p2196 02 sensor signal stuck rich bank 1 sensor 1 p1450 unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum. with the vehicle being well maintained and being less than 5 years old, i believe this should be taken in consideration due to being very unsafe to drive due to not knowing when the sputtering of the car will happen.
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 started again and loss of power to charger ports in vehicle, light came on again waited over night to take it to be serviced at lunch break from work, on the way to work coolant light flashes on saying overheated for engine temperature, took it back to shop misfire cylinder 2 again and shop was baffled about low coolant level poured a gallon of coolant into vehicle did block test and pressure tests they can find nothing, friend mechanic says with codes he has gotten and his experience/ knowledge that there has to be a gasket leak letting coolant into engine. have been dealing with this since end of july 2018
There is an oil leak at 67,000 miles. it was discovered during a routine oil change at firestone.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle constantly stalled without warning. town and country ford (5401 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28212, (704) 557-0596) was notified of the failure, scheduled an appointment, and diagnosed that the purge valve needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v735000 (fuel system, gasoline); although the failure was similar to what was listed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
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.
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.
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 as instructed and they do not have the part. they stated that they would contact me when its available and the have no eta on part availability, however my vehicle is not drivable while i am waiting. i am a single parent with school aged children and i have to work and cannot afford a rental and there are no loaner cars being offered. i have two jobs and i had to resign from one job due to the inconvenience as the hours are late and there isn't any transportation available after a certain time.
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.
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. 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.
Cracked head, causing engine replacement at 48,000 miles.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 cooperate with the dealers findings and will not pay for the repair. the engine is currently torn apart with a very large labor bill already and now a new engine is needed for a defect in the way it was built. currently without a car and a very large repair bill that i can't afford. please look into why this model year has not been included with the current recall. please help! the vehicle is currently at castle ford in michigan city, in 46360. they have all the information of the diagnostics there.
