Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2014 Ford Fusion

While driving on a freeway, my 2014 Ford Fusion 2. 0l ecoboost starts to overheat. While trying to press the gas pedal to increase the speed, the car takes a while to increase the speed and at the same time the temparature gauge is going up as well until I get the overheating notification on my car. I had to slow down my driving on the freeway while there were cars behind me. I had to get out of the freeway and exited on the first exit I see. I stopped on a curb of a street and opened the hood of the car to check what is wrong with it and I saw that there are coolant all over my engine and that my coolant level was empty even though I filled it up about 2 weeks ago. I had to refill my coolant a little bit more than the max level. I tried my best to drive back home carefully and just took the streets. I check the coolant level about 4-5 miles later and noticed that the coolant level went down a about 1/4 of an inch below the max level. The overheating started to happen when the temperature started to rise up over 100 degrees but it was the first time today(08/25/2020) that it splattered coolant all over my engine. There was also no check engine light on.

With absolutely no previous issues, the car started overheating while driving on the highway. I was able to make it home after turning on the heat (on a 90 degree day) and riding it out. It turned out my car was out of coolant, which was odd. We filled it and my check engine light came on, then my car sat for about a week, the battery was dead and when it was jumped every warning came up on my dash and my engine was in limp mode. Turns out my cylinder cracked and coolant was flooding my engine. After some research, it turns out it's a common problem with the model's engine and Ford hasn't done anything to remedy it.

I have taken great care of my car and had it serviced regularly. All of a sudden it started having startup issues with white smoke coming from the exhaust and check engine lights indicating misfire on third cylinder and random misfires on startup. Shortly after these symptoms presented, the car rapidly overheated while in motion and left me stranded on the side of the road. I took it to two shops and both confirmed it is related to a known issue with my engine (1. 5 ecoboost) for which Ford has released multiple corrections in the form of tsbs, fsas, and csps. The design of the short block and the engine programming have caused the coolant to prematurely degrade the head gasket which leads to coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders. In my specific case, the issue has presented in cylinder 3. I was never notified of this issue by the dealer Ford of port richey or the manufacturer and it will not be covered under warranty despite the cause of the issue originating at the manufacturer from the design of the short block coolant passages and the original programming of the engine. This should be handled as a recall considering it is unsafe to drive a vehicle that is specifically designed to spontaneously overheat under normal operating conditions, leaving a driver and their two children stranded on the side of the road.

Car was attempting to park when this happened: 2013-16 model year Ford Fusion and 2013-14 Ford escape vehicles to replace shifter cable bushings. On affected vehicles, the bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may detach from the transmission. A degraded shifter cable bushing that detaches from the transmission may allow the transmission to be in a gear state different than the gear shift position selected by the driver. The condition could allow the driver to move the shift lever to �park� and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in �park,� with no warning message or audible chime. If the parking brake is not applied, a degraded shifter cable bushing that detaches from the transmission could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash. Contacted Ford dealership with VIN and was tols VIN # does not match recall even though recall was made in the fourth year of ownership July 2018 and recall matches my vehicle Ford Fusion 2014 year make and model unable to contact Ford 800 numbee due to weekend business hours please review assist and offer remedy. Recall number is #18s20 thanks.

Wrench light came on beginning of July as I was traveling interstate in heat ((98 degrees) . Weeks later the engine light appears along wit the wrench light. I noticed a smell but thought nothing of it since it was so hot outside. The torque converter was bad and replaced by Ford (transmission pulled) but also the mechanic noticed leaking of coolant and I had to replace coolant flange, the g-adaptor-water outlet connect, coolant outlet pipe and of course, antifreeze. Most Fusions recalled but not mine according to Ford customer service, I have a 1. 5 l engine built is flat rock assembly as others were. I was told by them to hold onto the bill. Really?.

2014 Ford Fusion titanium 2. 0 turbo 5/29/16 coming off freeway @ 70mph went to apply brakes and pedal was hard , unable to slow down on loop. I could have crashed and died due to this failure. Finally pushed pedal with a lot of effort and abs kicked in to slow me down before the stop sign. Took to dealer on 5/30/16, diagnosis was vacuum pump failure, new part was ordered. 7/5/16 got a call from dealer shop manager who basically said the part would not be covered under warranty because there were metal shavings in the motor behind where the pump sits, claiming dirty oil caused premature engine wear. I went to the dealership to view what he was talking about. I could tell by spinning the pump that the bearings had failed, more than likely disintegrated and the shavings were sitting inside my engine. The manager asked the mechanic if that were possible and he replied yes. He said he replaced 3 recently with the same issue metal shavings behind pump. My car was also in for an oil change. The most irritating thing was being blamed for the problem, he stated my engine will fail and I should trade it in while I was talking on the phone with him prior to going to the dealership. I was blamed and he used scare tactics to try and get me to make a purchase. Never had this happen at a Ford dealer before. Still waiting for the call saying my car is repaired. The manger agreed to replace the pump under warranty.
