Coolant Leaking problems of the 2015 Ford Fusion - part 2

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vehicle began to overheat while driving on interstate. . . Warning light would blink and car would get extremely hot. . . Coolant was leaking into the engine, internal leak, so warning light would appear about every 3 days vehicle has been properly maintenance and nothing done by owner to cause engine failure.
