2015 Ford Fusion Engine

2015 Ford Fusion SE with 99k miles, well maintained and only two owners. Driving car down highway and engine begins to shudder. Pulled over as check engine lights were flashing and engine in critical condition. Had to tow car to nearest Ford delearship which is Maxwell Ford in South Austin, Texas. Ford mechanics determined it was MISS FIRE ON CYLINDER 2 VALVE BROKEN IN CYLINDER HEAD and need complete engine reassembly. Ford quoted $7,871.21 for a new engine block. Car not under warranty and they did not offer to pay. Also charged $238.07 to evac the AC. Reading about hundreds of complaints across carcomplaints (https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Fusion/2015/engine/engine-2.shtml) as well as the current class action lawsuit that was filed in December 2020 (https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Fusion/2015/engine/engine-2.shtml).

I was driving home from work at 10:30p. I pulled out of the parking lot at work when I lost power in the motor. Traffic was flowing and almost got T-bones. Right before I pulled it off the road it started to jerk like I was riding a bull. In the parking lot I shut it off and looked under the hood and checked everything but everything looked good. Started it back up and it started to run fine. So the next day it over heated took it to Ford and told them what was going on. They said someone bottom your car out so I turned it in to the insurance and they started a claim Ford fixed it. 2 days later it did It again over heated. Take it back in they fix it again pick it up again 2 days later over heats again. This is the third time it’s been in there and this time they say there is a TSB technical service bulletin-21-2269 that’s been out for over a year. At this point they tell me that no one has issued a recall on it. For the safety of others it should be recalled because if I had my kids in the call and got hit or killed over it someone would be paying.

Took car in to ford dealership to have check engine light assessed. Was told there was a coolant leakage through the #1 cylinder and I would need to have the motor replaced. I was quoted $7100.

We bought this car at the end of May 2020. When we bought it it had 48,000 miles on it. We have had this vehicle for 14 month and have religiously kept up on maintenance. Started having issues beginning of July 2021. Today, 7/22/2021 we received notice that the car needs a new engine due coolant leaking into the cylinders. We have only put 17,000 miles on this car. There is absolutely no reason for it to need a new engine.

Engine overheated on highway. Cracked engine block. Could have been hit by other vehicles. Short Block replaced by Ford dealer which I had to pay for. There were prior engine codes [usually P302] . A local auto repair shop replaced coils but wasn't able to find cause.

Car idles rough and almost stalls causing a safety issue. The problem is a bad block. Coolant leaks into the cylinders causing the car to lose power and smoke out the exhaust. The problem was diagnosed by a local auto repair shop. No check engine lights or warnings came on the dash.

I PURCHASED MY USED 2015 FORD FUSION WITH ON 70,000 MILES ON IT ON A TUESDAY, ON THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD IT JUST NEEDED COOLANT. SO THEY ADDED COOLANT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE......BUT THEN THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO BE QUICKLY DIAGNOSED AND THE CODE SHOWED UP AS P26CE (ENGINE COOLANT PUMP-OVERSPEED/AIR IN SYSTEM), I THEN CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS COOLANT STILL IN THE TANK AND NOTICED THAT THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. SO I THEN TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SHOP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY SEARCHED FOR THE LEAK. THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND THE LEAK IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THEY SHOWED ME THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND HOW CORRODED IT WAS, THEY THEN HAD TO ORDER A NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND LET ME KNOW THAT THE NEW PART STILL WOULDN’T BE A PERMANENT FIX, THAT IN 70,000 MORE MILES THE NEW THERMOSTAT HOUSING WILL BECOME DEFECTIVE AGAIN BECAUSE OF CORROSION. FORD SHOULD OFFER A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE CORRODING THERMOSTAT HOUSINGS!!!

I WALKED OUTSIDE ONE MORING TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS A PROLONGED CRANKING TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER, RIGHT AWAY AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER, ALSO A HESITATION THAT WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE. CHECK ENIGNE LIGHT CAME ONE. HAD IT SCANNED SURE ENOUGH MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 3 (P0303). WHITE SMOKE WXITING FROM EXHAUST AT START UP. VERY SLOW TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

JUST GOT THIS FORD VEHICLE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND HAD NUMEROUS CODES P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0030, C0014, P0047, P0141, AND A FEW OTHERS. I LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, CHECKED FUSES, PLUGS ETC. THE ONLY THING AT THIS POINT I NOTICED WAS TWO CRACKED SPARK PLUGS, SO I REPLACED ALL OFF THEM. AFTER THAT THE CAR STARTED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. CLOSED THE HOOD TURNED THE CAR TO OFF, THEN TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT START. SO I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS AND SEEN THE ANTIFREEZE DISAPPEARED, I HAD PREVIOUSLY FILLED IT. I LOOKED FOR ANY VISIBLE LEAKS, PUDDLES, AND CHECKED FOR WET CARPET AND FOUND NOTHING. I WENT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER LARGE JUG OF ANTIFREEZE PUT IT IN AND WATCHED IT ALL DISAPPEAR BEFORE MY EYES. I COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT, BUT I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND STILL CONTINUED TO GET MASSIVE ERROR CODES, WHITE SMOKE, ROUGH SOUND, ETC. THEN SEARCHED MORE AND FOUND IT SOUNDS LIKE BLOWN HEAD GASKET, I CHECKED AND THE OIL HAD A MILKY TINT. THIS I THEN FOUND WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, SO I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM FORD ON MARCH 20, 2021 AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHECK IF MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAD THE PARTS TO GET MY CAR IN OR IF THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET A CALL BACK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING, I DID USE LEAK FIX IT SEEMED TO STOP THE LEAK AND CLEAR THE CODES BUT MY DASH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING SO I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. THE RECALL NUMBER I FOUND WAS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10174400, MY CAR IS A 2015 FORD FUSION ECOBOOST 1.5L, VIN NUMBER# [XXX], AND MY LOCAL FORD IS IN HEATH, OHIO 43056 AT MATHEWS FORD. I AM GETTING THE IMPRESSION THIS IS GOING TO BE AT MY COST AFTER CONTACTING FORD AGAIN, NOW TELLING ME THAT IT WILL NEED DIAGNOSED AT FORD, AND MAY BE AT MY COST. WHY DOESN'T THE RECALL LIST UNDER MY VIN? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE WAS FOR 60,000 MILES, AT 62,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE CYLINDER BLOCK AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FORD DENIED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR.

WELL TO START OF I HAVE A 2015 FORD FUSION THAT I BOUGHT IN 2014 AS A 2015 MODEL YEAR PRETTY MUCH IT'S BEEN A GOOD CAR SO FAR. IT HAS BEEN IN A COUPLE OF RECALLS SO FAR NOT SO BIG, BUT AT SAME TIME THEY HAVE TO BE TAKING CARE OF BY MY DEALER WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT IS LOOSING COOLANT FROM THE RESERVOIR WHEN IS ON PARK OVERNIGHT. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT COOLANT EVERY MORNING TO GET IT GOING OTHERWISE A WARNING LIGHT COMES OFF TO WARN ME ABOUT THE COOLANT BEING LOW. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK NOW AND IS KINDA TIRING GOING TO THE SAME STEP EVERY MORNING. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND AFTER SEARCHING FOR AWHILE IT CAME UP THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT SOME ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND SOME OF EM EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ECOBOOST ENGINES. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING. I'M WONDERING IF FORD IS GOING TO RECALL ALL THE ECOBOOST ENGINES THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. MINE IS ALREADY GOING THROUGH THE SAME SYMPTOMS LIKE THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. HOPEFULLY THE NHSTA STEPS UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT US BUYERS WITH A PROBLEMATIC VEHICLE THAT PEOPLE ARE HOPING TO KEEP IT FOR A LONGTIME TIME LIKE MY SELF. PRETTY MUCH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. HONESTLY I DON'T WANT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF MY VEHICLE STARTS TO MESSING UP AND TO BE HONEST I'M BEARLY SURVIVING OUT HERE AND WITH THIS PANDEMIC GOING ON IT'S VERY HARD TO COME UP WITH MONEY TO PAY YOUR BILLS AND NOW WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IT'LL BE HARDER IF IT MESSES UP ON ME. IT'LL BE HARD TO COME UP WITH $7 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE IN WHICH YOU RELY ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS THROUGH OUT THIS WEBSITE.

My 2015 Ford Fusion is having an issue where the coolant is leaking into the cylinders. I had new spark plugs and coils replaced twice in less than a week because of this issue because they broke. It’s an issue I have read that a lot of Ford fusions have but no recall has been issued. To fix this problem, Ford gave me an estimate of over $8000 and it should be fixed by ford since it’s a revolving issue with certain models.

IN 2019 I HAD AN OVER TEMP WARNING POP UP. AFTER TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOUND IT TO BE A COOLANT LEAK IN CYLINDER 2. SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FORD REPLACED THE ENGINE. LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER WITH THE NEW ENGINE THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO REPLACE. THIS HAS NOT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME, BUT THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 65-70MPH WHEN THE POWER WAS SHUT DOWN TO MY ENGINE AND COULD HAVE KILLED ME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CONTROL PANEL STARTED THROWING AN ALARM OF ENGINE TEMP HIGH. IT WOULD GO OFF THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. ABOUT 15-30 MINS HEADING HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LIFE OF THIS CAR. FIRST TIME FORD REPLACED THE ENGINE. THIS TIME THEY SAY THAT ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WANT ME TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THE LIFE OF THIS NEW ENGINE IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT. COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF IT HASN'T ALREADY!

I PURCHASE A 2015 FORD FUSION SE WITH 119,00 MILES GREAT CONDITION CAR... THE CAR WILL MOT START... I'VE TOWED THE CAR TO MECHANIC SHOPS WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. IN DISBELIEF I TOLD THE CAR TO ELDERLY FORD DEALERSHIP IN TROY, MI WHERE ARE THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE BECAUSE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND THE REPAIRS WILL COST MEV$7500 THEY'VE DONE TWO DIAGNOSTIC TEST WERE THEY FIND FAULT IN FORD! I NEED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER

2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L ecoboost While driving I have had loss of engine power posing risk in traffic. I refilled coolant and the misfire in cyl 1 inspired spark plug replacement. The problem recurs and I discover coolant in these engines has (secretly) known defect since 08 leaking into engine. At over 5 years though under 60K mi, Ford will not help / address the problem. Just did 3rd spark plug replacement and googled up the defect. Would love to get (long not short) engine replacement like other models have received with this. Would expect to get al least the reprogramming or other ideas for mitigation help from Ford.

ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN SEP OF 2019 DUE TO COOLANT INTRUSION INTO ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. RICART FORD REPLACED IT DUE TO IT BEING COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW 14 MONTHS I GET MY FUSION BACK FROM AN OIL CHANGE TO FIND MY COOLANT COMPLETELY EMPTY. TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO FORD AND WAS TOLD I HAVE COOLANT INTRUSION AGAIN AND THAT MY ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED A SECOND TIME.

BOUGHT MY FORD FUSION USED FROM A DEALERSHIP AT END OF DECEMBER WITH 78K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING SO I TOOK THE CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND KEPT MISFIRING AND MY COOLANT KEPT BECOMING LOW ONLY AFTER A FEW DAYS. UPON DIAGNOSIS I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAK SHOOTING OUT TO CYLINDER 4 AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SPARK PLUG THAT WAS CAUSED BY AN ENGINE DEFECT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AGREED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THIS IS AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT FORD IS AWARE OF FOR THIS MODEL PER THE TSB BULLETIN FORD PUT OUT. FORD WON'T FIX THEIR ISSUE AND IM HERE GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. MY CAR IS STILL NOW IN THE SHOP AS IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FORD ALREADY KNEW WAS MESSED UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS MODEL.
