Engine started overheating when I was on my way to work. I checked the coolant and it was low. I replaced the coolant to proper level. Later that day, after driving down a busy city street, white smoke started to come from under the hood. I pulled into a parking lot and saw flames coming from behind the engine. I called Ford and they got me in the following week. After a month of back and forth with warranty company, Ford called me to say the warranty company declined the repair because they don't cover damage due to overheating. My car has overheated occasionally even after getting the recall 17v209000 �fixed. � Ford said the repair is $9k. I'm frustrated because this has happened to several other people who have had the same problem as me and it's not being addressed!.

Engine temp nears red but doesn't overheat. Some white smoke cold starting. I told dealer about this but since it only was during cold start it wouldn't replicate. Warranty lapsed. Overheating more often so I took it to dealer. Declined due expiration of warrantee. Recently engine overheated and started to shut down on a freeway in traffic. Slowing vehicles in traffic are dangerous. Engine light codes read misfire cylinder 2. The car is family's only source of transportation. We cant afford to purchase a new engine from Ford and Ford cant guarantee a new motor wont repeat these issues. Our local dealer duped us by not acknowledging that many other owners have had similar problems. Worried that this car will leave me stranded in the heat, bankrupt us, or be the cause of an accident.

The antifreeze is leaking into the cylinders, fouling out the spark plug causing the engine to miss fire. With this happening, it's using antifreeze burning it out the exhaust pipe , which causes the engine to overheat. Please look into this, I heard it can blow the engine and it's expensive to replace.

2014 Ford Fusion had no prior problems and never indicated any overheating. At 60k miles the dash indicated engine overheated. Parked the car immediately and had the vehicle towed to the local Ford dealership. Dealership advised the coolant entered the engine cylinder heads and that the entire engine needed to be replaced.

I purchased my vehicle in December 2018. Ford completed the 17s09 recall in August 2018, which was related to coolant system issue causing the engine to overheat. The day after I purchased my car in December 2018, the car overheated and broke down. The Ford dealership where I purchased (hennessy Ford in atlanta, GA) towed it back and "repaired" the issue again. I've continued to receive error messages about the engine coolant for the duration of my time in the vehicle. Last week on 6/12/20 I drove my car half a mile and it broke down again because the engine overheated. I had it towed to a mechanic who confirmed that it was because of the coolant system issue under the Ford 17s09 recall. Because it's been 12 months since the repair, Ford is refusing to fix the car under the warranty of the recall repair performed in 2018. And now I am being told that it needs a completely new engine at the tune of $7,000.

Engine overheated and started on fire completely destroyed . Vehicle was not involved in any accident and was recently 22 days prior completely checked out by the dealership for a engine coolant recall.

Loosing coolant, white smoke from exhaust, engine overheating message.

While driving at 30 mph light came on that engine coolant is overtemperture. Had to shut down the car as I was loosing power. Contacted Ford and told them that exactly what is in the 2012 recall of the engine overheating is what happened to me. They said at this time there is nothing they can do.

I had a recall done for my engine overheating. Now my engine is blown and worthless and I feel this is due to a faulty part put in to fix the overheating problem in my engine.

A letter was mailed to me on April 2017 informing me of safety recall 17s09. We have been in contact with our local dealership to have this inspected and repaired when parts became available. The special order for parts was not placed until 7/3/18. They have not come in yet, per our local dealership, and I have documentation of all of this. On Saturday 8/8/2018 the fire department was called to my residence to put out an engine compartment fire due to thisrecall issue. The engine started smoking as I pulled into my driveway with my 6 year old daughter in the car. No warning lights or engine overheating signals had alerted me. The fire escalated very quickly, and flames were seen coming drom under the hood and on the underside of the car. The vehicle is a total loss, and this has created a major financial hardship for our family.

On March 26th, 2018 at approximately 10:40pm my 2013 Ford Fusion (VIN #3fa6p0hr3dr178120) caught fire underneath the engine compartment. This occurred after approximately a 5 minute drive. The car was parked for over 5 hours and on my ride home a light appeared on the dash showing coolant/engine overheating and smoke began to appear from the hood (this occurred as I entered onto the highway at approximately 60mph). I was able to exit the highway slowly and pull into a gas station. There the car continued to smoke and a person there pointed underneath the car where the fire was going. It took two fire extinguishers to put out the fire. I believe this is related to a recall 17s09. Prior to the fire, I had taken the vehicle in twice to fix this issue. On 6/22/17 I took the vehicle into carmax to have the coolant temp sensor replaced after experiencing overheating problems. I then took the car into tuttle-click capistrano Ford to have the coolant level sensor system installation work done per the recall on 7/7/17.

I was driving my 2013 Ford Fusion, 1. 6l ecoboost to work when I noticed the engine started overheating while I was driving up a hill. I saw smoke coming from the engine and pulled over. As I did this, someone driving by said they saw flames coming from under my car. I immediately pulled the car onto some pavement and got out to check. I saw flames dripping from the oil reservoir. I grabbed my backpack and started running up the hill to my office, which was only about 100 yards away, to get a fire extinguisher. As I started running, I heard a loud woosh sound and saw that the entire front of the car had burst into flames. Less than a minute after I had gotten out of the car.

2016 Ford Fusion received from dealer on Dec 2015. At 39 miles on the odometer, Fusion would not start, and all alarms came on (low tire pressure, engine overheat, parking brake, parking sensors, etc). Car started after hitting ok and several more cranks. Feb 2015 - at about 2500 miles, the car would not start for the second time, and the third time was at 3000 miles, all with the same exact alarm behavior. The fourth time occurred on March 7, 2016 with 3200 miles on odometer; the car died in the middle of the highway and while going 45mph in rush hour traffic. There was no engine power, no steering power, no power brakes, nothing but alarms. I was fortunate to not be in an accident. The Ford dealership has taken the car in twice with absolutely no repairs and no reported diagnostic codes. Ford has experienced the same intermittent starting issues with the car in their possession, but they refused to conduct long-term diagnosis because they simply were not able to isolate the problem. This is the third time it's going into the dealer and now it's a safety issue because the car loses power while in operation.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that the engine overheated and leaked fluid into the wires causing the vehicle to shut off. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 72,000. Ad.

My 17 yr old daughter was driving the car at 30 mph when the car began to buck and jerk and she immediately brought it to a stop. It would not take any more power or acceleration. While stopped in the middle of the road she called me and noted the temp gauge showed hot with a check engine light. We had it towed. Technician who diagnosed the problem found a faulty temp sensor that showed the engine was overheating and causing the engine to go into fail-safe shut-down mode. Apparently this has happened often enough that Ford has a service bulletin out on the problem, but no recall. This could have been a disaster if she had still been on the road where she parked it. There should be a manufacturer recall to have these parts checked out. There is a known corrosion issue with the sensor and wiring.
