Vehicle Overheat problems of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Long standing issue with Ford Fusion, and it's only gotten worse. Recently I've discovered a plug stuck in cylinder 4, a misfire, and my engine is losing coolant without any exterior & visible loss areas. It was �repaired� from the recall when only a sensor was added and no actual repair was done to prevent complete engine failure. Cyl 4 has a misfire, coolant is needing to be refilled constantly, car is now overheating, and this is after I've done all the preventative maintenance in addition to Fords �recall fix� 17s09 that fixed absolutely nothing. Any time that I drive it now, no matter what speed, any longer than 10 min, my �low coolant� warning comes on from the engine burning coolant off. I've had to completely shut my entire car off, wait for engine to cool off, and have been left stranded a few times now. Very frustrating considering I've maintained this vehicle exceptionally since I've owned it.

I went into my local Ford dealership for a recall on July 2, 2019 and also told them my engine light was on and my car was overheating. In the last two years my vehicle has had two recalls fixed for this issue. I noticed within the last week not only was the engine light on but as I was driving the car began to suddenly jerk and start to overheat . I called Ford customer service and they told me the recall for this issue for this was resolved and completed twice in the last two years. . . Obviously not. I went to pick up my car from the service and noticed it was just sitting in the front outside of the service so I went to find someone for the keys. My vehicle would not start so they had to give me a jump. I asked to speak to the manager because my vehicle has no problems starting when I dropped it off that morning. So the manager came back after a while talking to the mechanic working on my vehicle and said "they had to jump it a few times because it kept turning off". So now I'm upset because he's telling me whoever installed it put in a smaller one than the one that should be there. I told him that's funny because I bought the vehicle here less than two years ago and it hasn't been changed since. Now my vehicle will not turn on and has been sitting in the garage ever since because I can't afford the costly repairs.

Car has been overheating- took car to autonation Ford in st. Petersburg, FL. Car had open recall from 2017 for sensor and was told that hose was bad- this took place not even a month ago and now the car is overheating again. I know this is an ongoing problem with Ford Fusions and known issues for Ford. We purchase the car last year from Toyota autonation. I have attempted to rectify that problem, but Ford continue to charge for problem.

Vehicle instrument displayed that the vehicle was overheating. Vehicle was returned to dealer and thermostat along with coolant sensor were changed. Vehicle was driven less than 2 miles and overheated again. Vehicle returned to dealer. Dealer advised that the engine failed, and needed to be replaced. Dealer is replacing the engine.

Vehicle was apart one of many recalls, had fixed, same issues arised and had another recall, took back in and now Ford is stating we need a new engine but wont be covered under the recall. The recall had issues with the engine and leaking into a colander which is the same issue we are having now, but they wont replace it unless we buy a whole new engine out of pocket. The only reason we knew of any recalls was because the first time my husbands car overheated, towed it to Ford and the pulled up at least 6 or 7 recalls needing to be fixed. We were never notified of them all. We have had nothing but issues with the recalls and it all did a temporary fix that lead to more issues.

There is an open recall on the car's cooling system that can cause the car to over heat and catch fire, this is what happened. My daughter was at a friends house most of the night. She got into the car to come home. She got three to four miles or so out of town when it started to over heat. Being that she just left she pulled over and turned around to go back. With in seconds of turning around the car's warning light came on and she pulled to the side of the road. Being out in the country alone she called 911. 911 dispatch sent a officer and a tow truck to assist her. Before the officer and the tow truck arrived her friend showed up. She called 911 and told them that help had arrived. They got into the truck to go get water and let the car cool down when out of now where there was an explosion and the car was fully engulfed in flames. This was just a few min after she had gotten out of the car to get into her friends truck. By this time a passer by stopped and saw the car on fire and called 911 again for help. The car is a total loss. Thankfully my daughter was not hurt , however had help not arrived when it did she would have been killed. I called the Ford customer service number the next day to file a complaint. They where very rude and didn't offer much help. He even asked me what I thought they should do about it. I told them since this was an open recall they should be held liable for the car. I was told they would have to get back with me. As of yet I have not received a call or letter from them. This is a very serious problem and any one with this type of car should stop driving it.

My check engine light is on. I had a diagnosis and it is related to the recall. The problem is the bypass valve. I took it to the sunnyvale Ford dealership for a recall and they said they don't have the parts to fix it. When I called them and set the appointment, they said they had the parts in stock but when I got there, I waited two hours and they didn't have the parts. They just checked the coolant pressure. Now I'm afraid to drive the car because the engine might set on fire. When I drive I notice the temperature of the vehicle fluctuating up and down overheating when I go up hill. Please help. I take good care of my car and I do not want to have engine fire. What can I do? I had it looked to other mechanic shops and they are charging me $1700 to fix it. That's too expensive and it's not even Ford certified. I need help with advice on how I can get the problem solved. When can this recall can be solved? the Ford dealership do not have any answers. They said they will call me when they get the parts. It's been a week and no call from the Ford dealership. My car is overheating every time I drive it on the freeway then the check engine light turns on. I went to pep boys and they told me they can't fix it, I have to take it to the dealership. The dealership is no help at this point. Although I set up another appointment to another Ford dealership which is another week ahead. I'm going through all this trouble so I can get my car fixed the right way. Sorry for the trouble but I need help and this might be my last resort.

In regards to NHTSA recall #17v209000 my car was serviced for a 75k maintenance point, the dealer was unable to address this recall due to parts being unavailble on 3/18/17. On 4/1/17 my car overheated and the engine shutdown during a drive from work to home, I had it towed to fremont Ford and on 4/3/17 the dealership stated that the engine coolant was low, the heater hoses had to be replaced due to the overheating on 4/1/17, and that the repairs were not covered under the recall. I am quite certain that the dealer is liable for all repair costs for this incident due to negligence in failing to address the recall and misleading me as to the true cause of the overheating of my vehicle's engine.
