I have a 2017 Ford Fusion titanium with the 2. 0l ecoboost engine that has 72,890 miles. I experienced rough idle for about a week then my check engine light came on. I had the engine light checked and showed the code p0302 which is a misfire in cylinder 2. When I proceeded to leave the place of business where I had the light checked white smoke came out of my exhaust upon start up and was still coming out by the time I drove home. I proceeded to do my research over the next couple of weeks following and found out it is a known issue and Ford will only cover if under power train warranty, even though it happens outside the warranty time frame just as much as with in the warranty window. I proceeded to have my car towed to the dealership and a diagnostic done and they said that everything I stated above is exactly the issue along with the pcm self-test showing p0217 engine over temperature condition was detected, and the engine long block assembly does have to be replaced. Nothing showed up on my dash to warn me of overheating or anything of the nature. Only the check engine light appeared.
My car has approximately 61,000 miles on it and one day, I turned it on and it made a rough sound starting up. I then noticed my car was shaking and that my check engine light had come on, so I elected to not drive it to ensure no further damage could occur. I consulted with two mechanics who both stated that fluid was leaking from my spark plugs, caused by fluid in my cylinders, and that it was necessary to replace my engine. They plugged code readers in that indicated that my second cylinder was misfiring. After researching online about this issue, I found many other cars of my make and model that had the same issue, some of which stated fires and other serious dangers and were all within 15,000 miles of usage as my car. I am discouraged and disappointed by the fact that I was sold a defective vehicle. I paid good money for a corporation to neglect their mistakes and land me with a 400 dollar car payment on a nonfunctional vehicle that could've caused serious injury or death in certain circumstances. I intend to take my vehicle to the dealership where I purchased it on Tuesday, February 9th, 2021 to discuss my options.
The owner/myself driving vehicle home my 2017 Ford Fusion se 1. 5l on the interstate when white smoke billowed out from the exhaust leading to a seized engine on a high traffic density highway. The car started to sputter, clunk and the check engine light kept flashing as I pulled off the side of the road. This car had issues before the failure of the engine with cylinders misfiring, spark plugs being fouled at low mileage and engine losing coolant. Per my vehicles breakdown I brought it to a local mechanic who worked for Ford and stated my engine locked up and needs to be replaced, after bringing my car to another shop for a second diagnosis, it was the same answer after a full look at it. I tried calling Ford in michigan they gave me the run around, my dealer fred beans of Ford gave me the run around saying I have to cover this repair due to it being out of my warranty. I did the program 19b37 recall from Ford which reset the computer system for antifreeze and coolant entering the engine. Clearly, that issue that Ford tried to patch up didn't work. My mechanic & Ford determined that a new engine was needed and have found bulletins stating this is due to a manufacturing defect known by Ford as Ford had released the bulletins. This defect leads to engine failure and is nothing caused by the driver but solely due to the fact that when certain engines were manufactured they were manufactured incorrectly. Ford is unwilling to pay for engine replacement even though they have admitted this is fault during the manufacturing processes if the engine is to stall or seize during driving this could lead to serious injury, accident, and even death. Ford is not recalling this engine at this time. Please - recall this issue. 1. 5 & 2. 0 engines are very problematic. The cost for my repair is $4,800. 00 that I don't have.
Had a check engine light come on on my 2017 Ford Fusion se with only 61,000 miles and there was a misfire on the first 1000 revolutions and it was on cylinder 2. It was under warranty and I took it to the dealership and they said that coolant got into the cylinder and it caused major engine damage and I need a new engine. I will get a refurbished one for my $100 deductible but I thought I should get a brand new one. Ecoboost engines are garbage. One and done with those. Ill never buy a Ford with an ecoboost engine again. Toyota is much more reliable and perfects things unlike american car companies that only care about quarterly sales. I wont get my car for 2 to 6 weeks they said but did get a loaner car. Im going to trade that in ASAP.
Coolant got into the cylinder due to a known issue with this motor. A software update was offered to try and prevent the problem but the damage had already been done. The car has 65000 miles and is 5000 over the warranty. Ford was contacted by myself and the local Ford dealer and they will not help at all. The check engine light came on and I took it to the local garage and they changed the spark plugs and then at around 60000 miles the light kept coming on and off. After about a week the car started shaking really badly upon start up. The software update was issued and I took it to the Ford dealer and they said it is a known issue with this motor and Ford has yet to offer a recall.
Nothing yet happened, I took it to the dealership a day after I bought it because of what they called a �ghost� check engine light that would pop on for a few seconds and then went away. I also realized the car is needing a frequent refill for coolant.
My car is jerking and the check engine light has not come on it has been since July and they can't tell me but it a recall on the 2. 0 liter but not on mine for a 2. 5 torque converter that is the problem and the guy at Ford place said it would be 2700 to fix I would rather run it in a river wow.
As I was driving on the highway my car engine started cutting out and check engine light came on. Replaced spark plugs, fuel filter and coil pack. Problem did not resolve. Took car to chapman Ford in scottsdale az. They found that the fuel injector in cylinder 2 had stuck open flooding the cylinder with gasoline and compromising lubrication in that cylinder. Repair requires removing engine and rebuilding it. Vehicle only has 70,000 miles on it of which 95% is highway miles. If I wouldn't have known to switch it to sport mode and keep the rpm up until I could get to a safe location it could have stalled on the highway causing a collision. After doing research online found that this is a common problem with the ecoboost 4 cylinder motor and should be a recall item. Ford refusing to pay for repairs on a car that's just over 2 years old. With previous Ford vehicles I have always been offered an extended warranty but was not on this vehicle.
