2019 Ford Fusion Engine

Coolant is intruding into the engine, with no sign of a leak. There was a TSB 22-2229 issued that my car falls under, but ford claims they are not at fault to pay for it. This was a manufacturing error, and was at no fault of my own. My car has less than 60k miles on it. A check engine light came on for cylinder 3 misfire. There was no warning signs that an engine failure was occurring. The car is not driveable as it could overheat at any moment.

In 2020, I received a notice from Ford that my 2019 Ford Fusion had a Customer Satisfaction Program repair. I took the vehicle to an authorized Ford Dealer in April of 2020 to have the repair completed, which to my knowledge was completed by the service technicians at Ford. Today, my car broke down while I was traveling to work. I was able to get it to an authorized Ford service dealer and they informed me that my engine was going to need to be replaced due to coolant leaking into the engine. According to Ford, they are not willing to help with the cost of fixing the engine, since my mileage is past what is stated on the CSP notice, even though this was supposedly fixed 5 years ago, way before the mileage that was required and the car was still under warranty. Now, I'm stuck trying to figure out how to pay for a new engine, when Ford knew about this issue and is unwilling to help their customers even when they do the right thing.

Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engine. 2017-2019 Fusion. Also, in 2 other Ford and Lincoln models. I bought 2019 Fusion used and car has just under 69000 miles. Due to a known engine defect there can be coolant intrusion into a cylinder. In my case #2 cylinder. See TSB # 22-2229 from Ford. Check engine light came on. took to dealer and replaced 1 ign coil and 4 spark plugs. Thought issue resolved until check engine light came back on. Returned to dealer and advise that engine needed replacement. If continued to operate engine could lock-up while driving thus creating a safety for myself and others on the highway. Ford knows of this defect caused by their design of the block.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to be restarted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined there was coolant intrusion into cylinder #3, causing damage to the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 21N12. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 82,000.

The vehicle is having issues with not starting, white smoke coming from exhaust, multiple misfire issues, can not accelerate as car lags out in power. I had a mechanic do some diagnostic testing on it and he confirmed coolant is leaking down into the motor and the engine block is cracked. It currently is not drivable. Engine light started to come on and said it was the coil packs misfiring we changed them and it did not fix the issue. Put a brand new battery in as well and still won't start often. I have reported this to a law firm handling the case against Ford for this known issue. I have kids and do not feel safe putting them in this car as it is unreliable that could cause us serious injury.

Coolant intrusion that Ford knows happens with these cars even with maintenance now they want me to pay 10k to get a new Engine with an updated part.

The failure occurred in the engine block or head gasket of the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, leading to coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Yes, the affected engine components were inspected by local dealer and confirmed long block issue. The safety of the driver and others was put at risk due to the potential for: Sudden engine misfire or stalling, which could lead to a loss of power while driving. White smoke from the exhaust reducing visibility for other drivers. Engine overheating, which could cause a breakdown in traffic or on highways. Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a Ford dealer and/or independent service center through diagnostic tests, which identified coolant intrusion into the cylinders. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer’s authorized dealer during diagnostic testing to confirm the issue. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. Yes, warning lamps and other symptoms appeared prior to the failure, including: MIL (Check Engine Light) with DTCs such as P0300-P0304 White exhaust smoke, indicating coolant burning in the engine. Engine running rough, especially during cold starts. Low coolant level, requiring frequent refills, with no visible external leaks. These symptoms first appeared [insert time frame or mileage if known].

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-35 MPH, the "Engine Coolant Overtemperature" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The accelerator was depressed and failed to respond as intended. The vehicle started losing motive power. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that there was no coolant inside the reservoir. The contact added coolant to the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted, and the contact drove to the residence; however, the failure recurred, and the coolant reservoir was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and it was diagnosed and determined that the radiator had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle again and confirmed coolant intrusion into the cylinders, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was approximately 38,500.

In 2023 I was experiencing engine issues. There was a check engine light that continued to come on signaling a cylinder misfire. I replaced the sparkplugs and coils however the issue persisted so I made an appointment to bring it to a Ford Dealership. The Ford dealership contacted me to advise that the issue I was experiencing is a known issue with the Ford Ecoboost motor where coolant ends up leaking into the cylinders causing a failure. This is a huge detriment to safety because I could have had a vehicle fire, or my car could have seized up on the highway while I was driving had I not gotten this to a dealership. I contacted Ford regarding the issue and their response was alarming. Since I was slightly over my warranty my vehicle was not covered for any repairs and they would not address the issue despite it being a known problem with these motors. I was stuck with a 7,000 dollar repair bill and "save your receipts and hope for the best" from Ford. Their negligence was alarming and after doing much research I have found that there still was not a recall issued and many people have experienced this issue.

Definitely got a second opinion and it was both wheel bearings. Fast forward a couple months the car starts acting weird running like it’s almost out of gas just real bad idling. Took it back it was nothing they said then it just starts running hot my coolant is gone and now my car has a blown engine and I have no way to prove this is a recall defect besides it’s the same mechanical issues that the other fusions have recalls on ! I know this is a long shit but could my car be inspected to prove a recall s missed on my year or what can I do I have no way to replace this motor and I’m still makin the payments every month and it can’t even be driven
