Check Engine Light On Problems of Ford Fusion - part 1

I purchased the car January 17, 2024, few weeks later the check engine light came on then disappeared, I was also experiencing problems with the seat cooling function, as the touch screen controls was showing that they were both on and it was still winter/rainy season outside. I took the car innto Ford dealer at sanbernardino CA, they told me that most likely it was just a dashboard light malfunction because the diagnostics results came out fine and after researching in other manuals even though the seat cooling function was switched to "on", the car did not come equipped with seat cooling only heated seats. 3 weeks later after taking my car home, the check engine light came on again on y dashboard, I bought an obdii diagnostic tool, the result came back with 2 different powertrain codes that were strictly manufacturer codes. 1st code was p1450 which is defined as unable to bleed gas tank - excessive vaccum. 2nd code was p2196 which is defined by O2 sensor stuck trying to correct 1st code. The p2196 eventually cleared on its own but the p1450 became permanent. I had a diagnostic mechanic take a look at it and he told me the same thing, except that the main culprit is the purge flow valve, which is a recall issue on other Ford Fusions. When I purchased the car, I was showed that the car had no recalls but the "myford" app and ownership didnt transfer to me right away until 30 days after the purchase, which is when it finally let me viewed the cars prior service / maintanance history and even though the car sales lady showed me VIN records where it says there is no recalls and it had no accidents, records that she showed me 30 days prior to me gaining actual ownership thru "my Ford" when purchasing the vehicle. The "my Ford" app states that it seems as if the car was in an accident in the past because almost $8000 went into repairs towards transmission and other main components. California smog check records show that the car has only had 1 test in CA last sept 2023.

Drivetrain warning light then a check engine light came on. Had the codes read (p2119) came up took to Ford shop and was told my throttle body actuator control system was stuck closed and had failed. My vehicle has just over 41000 miles on it. Luckily it is covered by the warranty.

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.

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.

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.

When the engine gets to a warm temperature and then shut off and left for 10 or so minutes, when the engine is restarted, put it drive, within several seconds (15 seconds to 120 seconds) it will begin shuttering and die while driving. Restarting the engine after it quits (which takes about 2 seconds, longer than normal) will start and will again die when beginning to drive. I have been experiencing this issue for about 5-6 months on my Ford with +/- 66k miles. The issue is getting worse and much more frequent. No check engine light or diagnostic codes are present. I have experienced this issue multiple times when turning onto a busy road and it is becoming more and more of a safety concern. I do not experience this issue following a cold engine start.
