I walked outside one moring to start my car and there was a prolonged cranking to turn the engine over, right away after putting it in drive there was a significant loss of power, also a hesitation that was never there before. Check enigne light came one. Had it scanned sure enough misfire in cylinder 3 (p0303). White smoke wxiting from exhaust at start up. Very slow to get up to highway speeds. Dont have the funds to repair this issue.

2 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2019

On 10/7/2019 I brought my car in to fort mill Ford (SC) for a tire change and regular service. When I came to pick it up on 10/10/2019, the car would not start. Upon advising my tech brittany of the issue, they sent out a tech to jump start the car that was just serviced. When the car was jump started, an engine light appeared on the dashboard. The vehicle was at 62000 miles. I went back to my adviser brittany again and she stated that the engine light is nothing to worry about and that Ford activates those when seasons change and is part of their software. She insisted that everything was ok with the car and referenced the inspection list I was given for my 2015 Ford Fusion se. Not three weeks later, the engine light went from being constantly on, to flashing. This also caused an intense white smoke from the exhaust and a strong gas presence in the vehicle. While I was driving to work, the engine light started flashing and the car started jerking on I-77 highway. I took the car back to fort mill Ford on 11/18/2019 for inspection. The next day, brittany called me and said they found an issue with my spark-plug and that it might cost anywhere from $200 to $6000. 00 to repair it. Since the issue was not caused by me I was not going to take responsibility for the charges and after weeks of ignoring me, Ford motor company (office of elena Ford) decided to get involved. However, the cause went from spark-plugs to coolants then cylinders and I was never given a specific cause. I did not have my car for over 60 days because all parts were on back order. I got my car back on 1/21/2020 and it is still showing issues with acceleration. Out of 91 NHTSA complaints on engine issues, over 31 have these same symptoms. Please see attached documents detailing this issue. This form does not offer enough space for relevant information and I was not able to upload the last email thread.
