2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2020

Upon numerous rough start ups my Ford Fusion with a 1. 5l ecoboost engine, my check engine light illuminated. I scheduled diagnostic service at my preferred Ford dealer and they discovered mis firings in the cylinders. They informed me this is a very common problem with the Ford 1. 5l ecoboost engine. There have been multiple tsbs on this issue which requires a new engine rebuild. There already was a recall with the 1. 6l ecoboost engine. I was just informed by the dealer that Ford will not cover any expenses related to the repair. The car is a 2015 with 68k miles with all scheduled maintenance performed by Ford. This is disheartening to say the least with a complete product failure.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2020

Check engine light on while on highway, after getting off there was a very rough idle. Towed to frontier Ford in san jose, CA. Found p0302, p0315 pcm. Engine misfire. #2 cylinder was found to have coolant inside. A new engine log block is needed to correct this concern. This engine clearly has a number of issues, reported by many other owners. It would seem that this engine has about a 5 year life regardless of mileage. A recall needs to be issued in order for Ford to pay for this faulty engine. This is a very difficult time for many people across the country and it's only right that Ford is responsible for correcting this issue.

13 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2019

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!!.

14 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2018

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.
