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. shop and extended warranty company say they see this often. ford has since released an updated design without the flaw, however has done nothing for those owners that have the flaw.
This is the 4th time this issue has occurred. while driving, my ac kicks on with no warning and i loose all power to my car. it shuts down. this is extremely dangerous and i see several people complain about it and nothing has been done at this time. no resolution can be found for the problem. my car shuts off on its own and the only warning i get is knowing when my radio cuts out and my ac kicks on, get to the breakdown lane because my car is shutting down.75 mph on the busy highway.
I drive a 2016 ford fusion se awd with the 2.0l ecoboost/gtdi motor. i was at a gas station refueling my vehicle, with the 87 octane fuel the oem calls for on the vehicle. i was about 1/4 tank before refueling and i filled my tank until full. upon starting my car, i always turn the key right before ignition and wait for the fuel pumps to draw gas to the motor, then start it. started seemingly fine, however, while i was resetting my mileage trip counters, i noticed, and felt my rpm's drop down into the 300-400 area and my motor shook my car. i kind of was surprised as my car had never done this, so i figured maybe it was just an engine stutter. but then upon waiting a few more seconds, it did it again, 4 more times and felt like my motor was ready to stall out. i was still parked/stationary beside a gas pump so i put the car in drive to go park myself in an actual spot so i wasn't in the way of other vehicles. i kept my car running in park to see if the rpm's ...
The car was brought into dealer for overheating 3 times and twice for coils and spark plugs repair. upon buying the vehicle complained of care not staying in gear. the problem they claimed was fixed, but several months again issue cam again. at that time it was repaired under recall. the car has had several warranty repairs. one of the fans went out on the car. reported at 11 mph car was heated at 289 degrees. car was in park when it proceeded to still move forward in the parking lot. emergency breaks had to be applied and the care went into safety mode and was not driveable. this has occurred twice within two years.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fusion. while driving approximately 25 mph, the contact heard a strange grinding sound coming from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. also, an abnormal burning odor entered the cabin. the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to imperial ford (8 uxbridge rd, mendon, ma 01756, 508-473-2800) where it was diagnosed that the solenoid and purge control failed. the vehicle was currently being repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 74,000.
2016 ford fusion making loud rattling noise from engine. no check engine light ever came on, but ford saying engine is catastrophic engine failure. connecting rod in piston broke loose. how does no check engine light ever come on? this could have killed me on the highway. how does a 3 year old car with 128,000 (mostly highway) miles go into catastrophic engine failure? car has been meticulously maintained.
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 thought i was going to cause a large accident trying to get my car over to the shoulder without power.
When attempting to start car, it clicks but will not start. i had road side assistance boot battery and got the car to start, i took the car to auto zone to test battery they said battery is good. when i attempt to turn off the car and put the car in park i can remove the keys from ignition and open the door but the car never actually powers completely off, the dash board lights are still on and my car charger is still working . after several attempts of starting my car and shifting to park it finally does power all the way off.
I have the same issue as previous people. my car check engine light came july 5, 2019 with the code p0302 cylinder 2 misfile. i took the car to the dealership july 8th 2019 after 2 weeks of being unable to figure out what was wrong they call and tell me i need to pay $3,340 to replace the head gasket because it was blown. i towed my car to an independent mechanic that would fix the head gasket for half the price. once it ws there the mechanic said the head gasket was fine after $1,500 of parts being replaced my car still wouldn't run. i contacted ford corporate for assistance on getting the problem fixed. my car was taken back to bob tomes ford the original dealer that said the head gasket was blown. they still insisted it was the head gasket and continued to argue. once corporate contacted them and paid for the tear down of the vehicle i was told i needed a whole new engine because coolant leaking into the cylinder. after speaking with other dealerships i was informed that my engine in my fusion has a design defect causing coolant to leak into the ...
While attempting to pull off after starting my car (vehicle stationary). the gear shift would read park on the dash and the gear shift would not change regardless of me moving it. after calling my mechanic the inspection showed the bushing came off. i received a letter from ford a few days before about the potential warning of the bushing possibly deteriorating. i have spoken with multiple ford reps and have been unable to get an appointment after being told that with my car being effected now, my process of being seen would be expedited. i was also told about having received compensation for a rental or loaner car while my car is unable to drive. i think ford is giving me the run around until they can find a solution but that does not change the fact that i have been effected today. richmond ford lincoln refused to service me and take my case number while belittling corporate the entire way. i also received the incorrect name from one employee. this recall process has been excruciating and as a ford consumer this being ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford fusion. the contact stated that the vehicle had an abnormal smoke odor. when the contact attempted to start the engine, it revved. last week, when the vehicle was started, an abnormal popping noise was heard coming from the engine and a smoke odor was present. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and diagnosed, but no failure was found. the contact stated that the failure recurred yesterday. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 800.
I was driving down the highway and my engine lost power. my car would not accelerate. i could not even go the speed limit. the dealer had to replace the throttle body. ford was changing these out through their own recall but that ended years ago. this problem is very popular over the ford models and could wind up killing somebody when the engine cuts out. ford is not standing behind the safety of their customers and i feel the nhtsa needs to step in and make this a mandatory recall. someone is going to die from this and it is all across all their makes.
When i got home from picking my friend's daughter up from school yesterday, i pulled into the garage and tried to place my vehicle in park. as my shifter went past reverse it turned on the back up camera on and stayed in reverse even though my shifter was in park. i didn't know what to do, i couldn't let off the brake because it continued to back up when i did, so i put the emergency brake on and turned the car off. this could have ended a lot worse. if it would have happened while i was picking my friend's daughter up from school, there were kids everywhere and i might not have been able to stop my vehicle. my car is a 2016 ford fusion titanium, ford issued a recall numbered 18s20 for shifter cable bushings going bad in ford fusions between 2013 and 2016. i called ford but apparently my cars vin doesn't qualify for the recall even though the exact issue that they issued the recall for, happened to my car and my car is between those years listed. the shifter cable came off and didn't allow my car to go into park. the car ...
