Coolant Leaking problems of the 2016 Ford Fusion - part 2

I have the same issue as previous people. My car check engine light came July 5, 2019 with the code p0302 cylinder 2 misfile. I took the car to the dealership July 8th 2019 after 2 weeks of being unable to figure out what was wrong they call and tell me I need to pay $3,340 to replace the head gasket because it was blown. I towed my car to an independent mechanic that would fix the head gasket for half the price. Once it ws there the mechanic said the head gasket was fine after $1,500 of parts being replaced my car still wouldn't run. I contacted Ford corporate for assistance on getting the problem fixed. My car was taken back to bob tomes Ford the original dealer that said the head gasket was blown. They still insisted it was the head gasket and continued to argue. Once corporate contacted them and paid for the tear down of the vehicle I was told I needed a whole new engine because coolant leaking into the cylinder. After speaking with other dealerships I was informed that my engine in my Fusion has a design defect causing coolant to leak into the cylinder Ford is aware of the design defect and corrected the design in late 2017. However they refuse to acknowledge that they are responsible for the damages on my car. My car is not under warranty any longer so the cost of the repair would have been over $9,000 out of pocket. Ford has agreed to help assist with the cost since I have done my research and proven the problem is a design flaw by Ford. I was told 3 weeks ago that the engines are on back order and would take 5 weeks to come in. I received a call yesterday that informed me I am now looking at December 29th before I can even get the engine in and that's not even a set date could be longer. . Ford needs to recall this issue and stop screwing their customers over since it's a design flaw that caused the problem. Its been almost 6 months I still dont have my car ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

A situation that I encountered with my 2016 Fusion when it had 55k miles on it was that the vehicle would have a rough idle on startups and would have a rough idle when it was stopped (ex. On a stop sign, red light, parked, etc. ). It did have a check engine light on when these issues occurred and so I took it to a shop to get the codes checked out and it described having a misfire on cylinder two. The shop recommended me to take it to the Ford dealer for a more thorough inspection. I made an appointment to visit the shop a couple of days after but in between those days I noticed thick white smoke coming from the exhaust. The rough idling still persisted and I took it immediately to the Ford dealer. After talking with the staff about my issue, they ran a diagnostics to find out coolant was leaking into the cylinders and causing the rough idle and the white smoke. I did get the engine block replaced but what's not to say that this issue can occur again. Another thing I noticed when this issue occurred was when you tried to accelerate the vehicle, it would accelerate seconds after you pushed on the pedal. This was very dangerous for me at times and I felt insecure driving this vehicle. I know many other Fusion owners have encountered similar situations and it seems irresponsible for Ford to ignore this and pretend that everything is fine.

Coolant leaks into engine intermittently while driving the car shook and vibrated. Speedee mechanic found the issue and told me take it to Ford as it is the same issue as Ford recalls on Fusion, and could cause a fire. Took it Ford, first they said no coolant leak. A week later I took it back then they said yes coolant is leaking into engine and I have to pay for a new engine.

Coolant leaks into engine, am told I need a new engine. Car will begin to vibrate intermittently. First speedee mechanic told ne the issue. Took it to Ford, they claimed it was sparkplugs and caliper. Next day car vibrated, took it back to Ford they and they said yes its leaking coolant into engine.
