My 2017 Ford Fusion 2. 0 eco could have caught on fire with my 6 year old inside!! I went to start my car & it didn’t want to turn over. Turned car off. Tried again. Started up but sputtered manically. . Then “kind of” settled down. I was maybe 2 miles down the road && coolant temp high light turned on. I pulled over immediately turned car off. Checked coolant levels…. It was below minimum (no visible leaks) replaced coolant, car started smoother. 2 days later. I started my car it was a little rough && as I began driving I could see what looked like white smoke coming from exhaust. I looked for a safe place to quickly pull over and the coolant temp high light dinged on again. I checked levels…again below minimum. . This is 2 days after I refilled the coolant…. Once again there are no visible leaks on the ground. It is the weekend so have not made it to dealership. Myself & my 6 year old daughter were in the car && the engine could have blown or caught fire!! this is absolutely unacceptable && unsafe. This is unsafe to the people around me && on the road due to the smoke of the car, possible flames, && sudden stop. This is beyond dangerous. I’m positive after researching that this is coolant intrusion in the engine. I was never informed of this possible issue by Ford. I am a single mother, with one vehicle, this should not be my bill especially since I’ve maintained the maintenance on this vehicle regularly. I will be taking my Fusion to the Ford dealership Monday where I hope Ford will cover this issue. (( I can update later if needed )).
Vehicle had 62579 miles when it threw a p1299 code for engine overheat. Ford checked and said the engine was leaking coolant into the cylinders and it's a common problem on the 1. 5 l eco boost engine as per TSB 20-2100. They also said it's out of warranty due to being over 60000 miles. From research it looks like Ford has a known issue with this engine and they are not willing to stand behind it and fix it as they should.

Car ran rough when first started them smoothed out, happened a few times the check engine light turned on. Coolant was leaking in cylinders #4 and #3. Mechanic stated this year car the engine becomes porous and they needed to replace the engine.
Check engine light was on indicating a misfire in engine 3. Ford dealership recommended new sparkplugs and ignition coil. I completed the repair, check engine light disappeared. After few days, the engine started overheating suddenly without any warning. I checked the coolant reservoir and it was near empty. Paid Ford again to diagnose the problem, this time they identified coolant intrusion in engine 4 caused by internal coolant leak. The recommendation is a new reman Ford engine with the estimate of $5000.
Tl the contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated while driving. The vehicle was taken to fairway Ford inc (444 us-117, burgaw, nc 28425) and was diagnosed that a new spark plug needed a spark plug. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and was diagnosed that coolant was leaking into the cylinder and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was rejected to be service due to the warranty being expired. The contact stated that the vehicle remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
Vehicle codes started to appear on the dashboard ( temp light, engine light, battery light) warning signs also appeared ( overheating in engine ) engine coolant started to decrease no leak was detected. It was taken to a mechanic to get evaluated and they came to the conclusion that it was leaking internally into the car which caused other issues. This car was purchased February 2020 so 8 months later the car has completely crashed. White smoke is also expelling from the vehicle exhaust. The spark plugs are burning up they were replaced approximately 8 days ago and they are completely burned white.
Engine coolant leaked into multiple cylinders and the engine needs to be replaced. Apparently this is a design flaw and has been known by Ford for many years and has not been recalled. This is the ecoboost engine in a 2017 Ford Fusion platinum. Now the engines are on back order so it will take many weeks to get replaced. The warranty only covers a rental car for 10 days.
While driving my 2017 Fusion 2. 0 eco boost with 77,000 miles the "service engine soon" light came on. The light went off a few days later but I had already made a service appointment at the dealer where I had purchased it brand new. They've also done all of the routine maintenance. They said it just needed new spark plugs and injectors cleand, so they did the work and charged me $400. After I got the car back 2 days later the light came back on, I returned the car to them. It's 2000 miles over the extended warrranty I purchased. After they had it a few days they determined it has coolant leaking into cyclinder number 1. The repair was $6,236. 92 to fix. I was able to persuade the dealership into having the extended warranty company pay half. My part was $3236. 92.
Tl the contact owns a 2017 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that there was a knocking in the engine. The check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to red mccombs Ford located at 8333 I-10, san antonio, TX 78230, where it was diagnosed that coolant leaked into the cylinder and caused the engine misfire. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
After 3 years of owning the car and 81,000 miles (purchased new and never had any issues), vehicle's engine block cracked, resulting in coolant contamination. Ford's investigation showed cylinder #2 and #3 were misfiring and oil was leaking in. The check engine light, poor acceleration, and rumbling while idling all first occurred on the highway, just 2 days after a Ford service center did a complete engine check and oil change. Once the check engine light started flashing at us and the engine wouldn't push past 2k rpms, we immediately pulled over (as Ford warned us that flashing indicated fuel was dumping into the engine). The Ford dealership we towed the car to had no availability to fix the car, as 4 other Fusions with the exact same engine and issue came in earlier that week. That's when the service manager acknowledged this is a much bigger issue than what we believed was a random break. Further investigation showed that we completed the recall Ford issued (customer satisfaction program 19b37) 8,000 miles prior to the engine cracking, which was to reprogram the powertrain control module to fix: "coolant intrusion into the cylinder bores can lead to coolant loss, excessive tailpipe smoke, or illuminated malfunction indicator lights due to engine misfire and could potentially lead to engine damage". Furthermore, Ford issued technical service bulletin 19-2139 that acknowledges this exact issue and the warning signs to look for, which Ford failed to identify during the engine check 2 days prior. It's clear there is a design flaw or manufacturing defect in the 1. 5l ecoboost engine for 2014-2019 Fusions, and I'm confident you will find thousands of other owners who have experienced the exact same issue. Ford acknowledged the issue with recall 19b37, though it's apparent it did not fix the issue. Ford is just too cheap to truly fix the mess they created.
The car drove as expected until around 80k miles. Then the check engine light displayed with the code: p0302. This shows a misfire on cylinder #2. The cars coolant was recently refilled and upon inspection after the check engine light appeared, the coolant reservoir was again empty. The car was kept up on maintenance and didn't show any signs of malfunction prior. I later found out that coolant is leaking into the cylinder, causing it to misfire. The car prompted me to pull over and stop the engine because this issue was making it overheat. The car remains parked in the driveway as it is too fragile to drive.
2017 Ford Fusion 71,000 miles, coolant leak into cylinder 3. Many forums stating same problem in Fusions and Ford edge. Resulting in new engine purchase or $8k repair. While the vehicle was in motion I noticed power loss. Ford would not help in me in any way financially or waving any fee.
My 2017 Ford Fusion se is experiencing a p0301 engine code along with major coolant loss. The error code relates to an engine misfire in cylinder 1. There is also white smoke coming from the exhaust. The car was purchased in March of 2018 and has 69,000 mile on it. Upon starting the car idles very rough for about 10 seconds and then smooths out. The gas mileage has been very poor and I have been getting high engine temp alerts as well. I took the car to branford Ford in branford CT. They diagnosed the issue and told me there is coolant leaking into cylinder number 1 and the only way to correct the issue is to replace the engine. My car is out of warranty and the cost to replace is $5700. 00!! this a 2 1/2 year old car that needs and engine replacement?!? I did a ton of research on this issue and found that there are other problems just like this, some in warranty and some not. Ford did have a recall on the 1. 5 liter engine for the exact same issue. Apparently there is no current recall or warranty extension for this problem, so basically I am being told I am stuck with the bill. I am looking for assistance from Ford to replace this engine at no cost to me as this is a known issue among the consumers but there hasn't been "enough" documentation to warrant action by the manufacturer. Thank you , andy paranzino.
Coolant leak engine, needs new engine. The car has 83,000 miles on it.
Internal coolant leak in 2. 0l Ford Fusion se ecoboost caused my car's engine to lock without warning. No start. Currently, there exists program 19b37 for 1. 5l. My 2. 0l Ford Fusion se ecoboost presented the exact internal coolant leakage problem as that of the 1. 5l that is presently on recall. My previous spark plugs confirm that coolant has leaked into the engine of my car. Also, a coolant pressure test will reveal coolant leak is internal in my car. Big star Ford confirmed that my engine is locked and that it will need to be replaced. They don't want to pay for damage. I'm a preventive maintenance owner and only buy oem parts. I also have an engineering background. This internal coolant issue is clearly a manufacturer's defect. Because the issue stems from an internal coolant leak causing engine failure, 2. 0l should be included in the program 19b37 recall. It is the right thing to do. On a side note, I had previously taken my car to big star Ford because there were problems with the pcm. Tires were showing to be deflating as I drove on the freeway. I immediately stopped at the nearest tire service company and they confirmed that it was a computer glitch. Big star Ford reinstall the pcm software at the cost of my deductible. Nhtsa, we 2. 0l owners need your help! please investigate and include 2. 0l to the existing program 19b37. I personally have evidence to prove that an internal coolant leak caused my engine to lock. A coolant pressure test will also reveal the coolant leak is internal. Please help get 2. 0l included in the current recall program 19b37.

Coolant leaking into engine. Entire engine will have to be replaced.
Check engine light keeps coming on saying that its engine misfire in cylinder 2. . My mechanic replaced the spark plug it happened again, we replaced the coil and it did it again. Finally they told me that the coolant was leaking into the cylinder which is causing a misfire and therefore has also cracked the block on the engine. I get home and there is a notice from Ford. Recall 19b37 to reprogram this issue. I scheduled the update to be done and Ford tells me I need a new engine now. I am waiting to hear back from Ford as to how they will help, seeing as though I just bought the car from their dealership less than a yer ago but have no warranty. They tried to charge me a diagnostic fee as well for this issue which I refused to pay since it is part of the recall.
Engine code surfaced and told me I had a misfire. I took it to the shop and was told that coolant had leaked into the cylinder and I would have to replace the entire engine and would cost me $9,300. I called Ford and even though there are recalls on similar vehicles with similar issues, there is not a recall on this particular vehicle.
My 2017 Ford Fusion had a low tire sensor leak. Upon an initial Ford dealer inspection to investigate the tire leak Ford dealership revealed to me that my car had no coolant left in it & engine was heating up & was dangerous to drive. Ford conducted a pressure test of the engine & I was told needed a new engine replacement. Needless, to say this is a dangerous situation for me to drive with a defective engine & appears I the consumer am out of $24,000 dollars paid & demand Ford manufacturer restitution!.
