Long standing issue with Ford Fusion, and it's only gotten worse. Recently I've discovered a plug stuck in cylinder 4, a misfire, and my engine is losing coolant without any exterior & visible loss areas. It was �repaired� from the recall when only a sensor was added and no actual repair was done to prevent complete engine failure. Cyl 4 has a misfire, coolant is needing to be refilled constantly, car is now overheating, and this is after I've done all the preventative maintenance in addition to Fords �recall fix� 17s09 that fixed absolutely nothing. Any time that I drive it now, no matter what speed, any longer than 10 min, my �low coolant� warning comes on from the engine burning coolant off. I've had to completely shut my entire car off, wait for engine to cool off, and have been left stranded a few times now. Very frustrating considering I've maintained this vehicle exceptionally since I've owned it.

I pulled into a parking lot. I opened the hood and all my antifreeze and and water was spouting out of the reservoir. I put enough water back in it to take it back to the dealership. The dealership directed me to take the vehicle to pep boys on broad river road, columbia south carolina to find and fix the problem. The problem was with the thermostat and the thermostat housing. Pep boys had the car for about 5 days to repair. I get the car back on February 28th 2020. The car was fine until March 12th. That morning I was on my way to work and I heard a blunt sound coming from my vehicle and the vehicle just cut off while I was on the highway and the check engine light came on. I had enough power to make it to work. When I left work for the day, the car cut off again while I was driving on the interstate. I once again pulled over and got enough power to make it to the car dealer. When I got to the dealer one of the salesman went to auto zone to do a diagnostic and the codes came back with a fuel issue.

2015 Ford Fusion se with 66,997 miles on it started to run rough the check engine light came on. I took it to local car parts store for check engine light diagnosis they said it was a misfire in cylinder 2. I then took the car to my mechanic and 6000 dollars later I was told there was a crack in the block. The codes gave no clue to what was wrong and car never overheated. This is ridiculous for a 4 and 1/2 year old car that was bought brand new. I would like Ford to acknowledge this and remburse me.

My car has 64000 miles. Car was overheating and rough idle so we brought to the Ford dealership and they said the code 0302 is a misfire on cylinder #2. They also said there is a hole is the block between cylinders now. There is absolutely no way this should happen with 64k miles and coolant level was correct. They mentioned the sleeve around cylinder 2 is too thin causing the issue. They also mentioned Ford is aware of the issue as numerous complaints have been observed and Ford's replacement engine has a thicker sleeve to correct this issue. The dealer also said they have 4 other Fusions with the exact same issue. Now to replace the engine is over $6000 and again there is simply no way this should happen with a car with 64k miles. Very frustrated and looking for compensation.

I went into my local Ford dealership for a recall on July 2, 2019 and also told them my engine light was on and my car was overheating. In the last two years my vehicle has had two recalls fixed for this issue. I noticed within the last week not only was the engine light on but as I was driving the car began to suddenly jerk and start to overheat . I called Ford customer service and they told me the recall for this issue for this was resolved and completed twice in the last two years. . . Obviously not. I went to pick up my car from the service and noticed it was just sitting in the front outside of the service so I went to find someone for the keys. My vehicle would not start so they had to give me a jump. I asked to speak to the manager because my vehicle has no problems starting when I dropped it off that morning. So the manager came back after a while talking to the mechanic working on my vehicle and said "they had to jump it a few times because it kept turning off". So now I'm upset because he's telling me whoever installed it put in a smaller one than the one that should be there. I told him that's funny because I bought the vehicle here less than two years ago and it hasn't been changed since. Now my vehicle will not turn on and has been sitting in the garage ever since because I can't afford the costly repairs.

Vehicle was apart one of many recalls, had fixed, same issues arised and had another recall, took back in and now Ford is stating we need a new engine but wont be covered under the recall. The recall had issues with the engine and leaking into a colander which is the same issue we are having now, but they wont replace it unless we buy a whole new engine out of pocket. The only reason we knew of any recalls was because the first time my husbands car overheated, towed it to Ford and the pulled up at least 6 or 7 recalls needing to be fixed. We were never notified of them all. We have had nothing but issues with the recalls and it all did a temporary fix that lead to more issues.

She got into the car to come home. She got three to four miles or so out of town when it started to over heat. Being that she just left she pulled over and turned around to go back. With in seconds of turning around the car's warning light came on and she pulled to the side of the road. Being out in the country alone she called 911. 911 dispatch sent a officer and a tow truck to assist her. Before the officer and the tow truck arrived her friend showed up. She called 911 and told them that help had arrived. They got into the truck to go get water and let the car cool down when out of now where there was an explosion and the car was fully engulfed in flames. This was just a few min after she had gotten out of the car to get into her friends truck. By this time a passer by stopped and saw the car on fire and called 911 again for help. The car is a total loss. Thankfully my daughter was not hurt , however had help not arrived when it did she would have been killed. I called the Ford customer service number the next day to file a complaint. They where very rude and didn't offer much help. He even asked me what I thought they should do about it. I told them since this was an open recall they should be held liable for the car. I was told they would have to get back with me. As of yet I have not received a call or letter from them. This is a very serious problem and any one with this type of car should stop driving it.

My check engine light is on. I had a diagnosis and it is related to the recall. The problem is the bypass valve. I took it to the sunnyvale Ford dealership for a recall and they said they don't have the parts to fix it. When I called them and set the appointment, they said they had the parts in stock but when I got there, I waited two hours and they didn't have the parts. They just checked the coolant pressure. Now I'm afraid to drive the car because the engine might set on fire. When I drive I notice the temperature of the vehicle fluctuating up and down overheating when I go up hill. Please help. I take good care of my car and I do not want to have engine fire. What can I do? I had it looked to other mechanic shops and they are charging me $1700 to fix it. That's too expensive and it's not even Ford certified. I need help with advice on how I can get the problem solved. When can this recall can be solved? the Ford dealership do not have any answers. They said they will call me when they get the parts. It's been a week and no call from the Ford dealership. My car is overheating every time I drive it on the freeway then the check engine light turns on. I went to pep boys and they told me they can't fix it, I have to take it to the dealership. The dealership is no help at this point. Although I set up another appointment to another Ford dealership which is another week ahead. I'm going through all this trouble so I can get my car fixed the right way. Sorry for the trouble but I need help and this might be my last resort.
