Threre was a severe loss in breaking performance and the brake warning message appeared and the chimed sounded. There was little breaking performance remaining, So I was able to make it across the street to Firestone Complete Auto Care Store #788339 (Phone number 757 312 8357) to have the the car serviced where the front brake hose on the left side was replaced Retail Invoice number #[XXX].

A flaw in design allows coolant intrusion into the cylinders ruining the engine and requiring engine replacement. TSBs have been issued on this problem which is caused by a flaw in the design. The car drove fine Monday morning, 9/19/2022 On Monday evening, driving 80 mph, (which is the speed limit on the 130 Toll Road), the car suddenly started shaking, slowed and did not want to accelerate and the check engine light started flashing. The car was checked with OBD reader, error code P0302, a misfire in cylinder 2. The next morning, 9/20/2022, after confirming with Ford service that it would be ok drive, drove 5.5 miles to dealership, with the car shaking, vibrating & check engine light flashing. On 9/22/2022 we were told the engine needed to be replaced at a cost of about $11,000. After researching online, I found there is a known design flaw on the Ecoboost engines that allows the intrusion of coolant into the cylinder and the only repair is engine replacement. Ford has been aware of the flaw in design on the Ecoboost engines for years but continued to manufacture and sell them putting peoples lives in danger by selling a car that can suddenly lose power, vibrate violently and possibly catch on fire if it overheats. There is a Customer Satisfaction Program 21N21 covering the short block on 2017-2019 Ford Fusion Ecoboost cars but nothing on prior years. Per a Ford Customer Experience Specialist I was informed that financial assistance on my car ended at 7 years or 150,000 miles; any assistance they could have offered ended on 9/14/2022; 6 days prior to the incident. I was informed that how Ford determines financial assistance is proprietary and no further explanation could be given.. I understand the car is 8 years old; however, a well-built car with low mileage (53,590) should not need a new engine. What happened to Ford “Built to Last?” Ford needs to stand behind their products and do the right thing by covering the costs of repair due to a design flaw.

Brake fluid cracked without warning and no alarm

Brake line delaminated - had to replace after brakes went out completely. Paid out of pocket for repair after tow. Power assist steering stopped working abruptly. Had bolts replaced for earlier recall related to salt in states with winter conditions which could cause this exact issue of the power steering to fail. Hill assist is also not working.

As I was driving on 9/10/22 with my 2yr old daughter and the vehicle spontaneously lost pressure in the braking system out of nowhere making my vehicle hard to stop. I contacted my local ford dealership in regards to the matter but was very dissatisfied. A repair shop informed me it was the driver side brake hose.

Spotted another puddle under the car. Took to local shop & told left front caliper is leaking and both front calipers need to be replaced. Also told the cooling line to turbo is leaking & needs to get repaired. Having vehicle towed to dealer as unsafe to drive. When I drove vehicle back from shop, low brake fluid light finally came on. I have also had both brakes lines replaced twice in the last 5 years & transmission replaced. Believe this car may be a lemon.

I have lost my brakes twice in the last year. Once on 10/19/21 and once on 09/07/22. The first incident on 10/19/21 I was driving and without warning lost my brakes and fluid was going all over. This was due to a rupture of the front brake flex hose. I live in Roscoe, IL and was visiting my mother in Burlington, WI. Thank goodness, we were driving in her neighborhood when this happened or it could have been devastating. This last incident on 09/07/22 I was pulling out of a parking lot when I noticed that my pedal went all the way to the floor leaving me with no brakes. This incident was the left front brake hose that ruptured. In both of these incidents, my car had to be towed to be repaired. Upon researching these problems, there have been many complaints of both of these same issues for other Ford Fusion owners. Last October after the first incident took place, I notified Ford and asked why some cars were recalled but not mine. All they told me was to save my receipts and maybe I could get reimbursed if my car was ever recalled. My vehicle is serviced per mileage and has never missed an oil change and maintenance check at the Ford dealership. Both of these incidents were not identified as a problem before they had happened and just all of a sudden i was without brakes. I am very thankful that I was not on the interstate or in traffic during either one of these times. Now, I am nervous to even drive my 2015 Ford Titanium and wonder when this will happen again.

While I was driving home from work my car shortly turned off while I was on the freeway. Luckily it turned back on in time that nothing happened. A couple days later while driving home from work my car started violently shaking while driving since then I did not drive the car and took it to a mechanic for inspection. Soon inspection they found a Cylinder #2 misfire resulting in the need to replace entire engine. Car has 67,000 miles and has been kept in great condition. There is no reason for the engine to be breaking at 67,000 miles. I will now be paying about $8,000 for a new engine on a car that originally cost me $12,000. I have only had this car for 3 years. I am aware that the 2016 model of my car had a recall on the engine for a similar issue and I believe the 2015 should be recalled as well. Not only is a faulty engine a huge expense for the owner, it’s also a huge safety concern for the driver and other drivers on the road.

Ford has been putting this Eco Boost engine in their cars for a very long time. They are two class action suits about this particular engine and that it leaks coolant into the engine. NO ONE told any of us consumers about this problem. In fact they put out service bulletins to the dealers but we were never told anything about it. You are also putting this problem into an engine category when most of those claims are specifically for this problem (11 is what you state but you need to look at your 184) . I am alerting all the complaints about this to file a claim about this very situation. This is truly shameful. You have a co. profiting over the consumer and no one is doing anything about the engine problem. We are now told the car needs a new engine at the tune of 8000+ dollars and honestly no one can even tell us when the parts are available! We could have made a more educated decision had we been told. 2) 1.6L EcoBoost Overheating Issues There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to problems with the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost engines overheating. There have been several lawsuits, service bulletins, and recalls related to overheating problems. In 2017, Ford issued a recall for some 2014 Escape, 2014-2015 Fiesta ST, and 2013-2014 Fusion models. The main issue seems to be running low on coolant, which causes the cylinder head to overheat, crack and leak oil. Some even ran into fires due to high pressure oil leaks. Ford added coolant level sensors as part of the recall. As of recently, there is a lawsuit that claims the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost has an inherent flaw. It alleges coolant leaks into the cylinders thereby causing corrosion, engine failures, and possibly even fires. We’ll leave it at that since there’s quite a bit of info out there regarding the recalls, service bulletins, etc.

The electric steering motor mounting bolts to the steering rack corroded and snapped off causing the vehicle to loose steering. This is a huge safety concern! If this would happen at freeway speeds it would cause a serious accident or even loss of life. Ford Motor Company had a recall for this concern for the same model year we own but Ford Customer Service told me that by the vin number our Ford Fusion was not included in the recall. What had happened is the exact same concern for the recall. At the present time this vehicle we own can not be driven ! I believe Ford’s recall number is 19S26. There is lots of information on the internet about this concern. I can’t understand why Ford Fusions from 2013 thru 2016 are involved in this recall but not all of them since all the steering racks on the Ford Fusions are of the same design. It’s a very costly repair if the owner can not get assistance from Ford. Please look into this matter. Thank you

The brake lights remain on, car started jerking in traffic, no control of car function other than park and drive. Call around dealerships, they either didn't have the part, reschedule me time after time, then I had to wait. Now car is not working

i bought a 2015 Ford Fusion from a dealer in May 2022 i had only been driving the vehicle a month & 1/2 before it began to smoke really bad, so bad to where the drivers behind me visibility was affected....I made it home safely not knowing if the car would explode because of all the smoke and the smell, and the overheating of coolant and warning lights. I called the dealer I bought it from they said they couldn't help me cause it was past the few weeks they gave me to call them with issues, but said i can pay their mechanic to fix it for over $4000.00 which I do not have because I am on disability with a fixed income. I am still paying the note for this vehicle which I cannot drive and cannot afford to fix. It is just parked. I don't know what else to do, I took it to the Ford dealership near me and they said the engine needed to be replaced and would cost 10,442.00 which is more than what i owe on the car...I don't understand why there is no recalls for this vehicle and others that Ford and other dealers seem to know had or have this issue. I have read online and heard on YouTube so many people have had this same issue with their Ford vehicles and can't get any help to repair them. I am beyond frustrated that people can lie so easily, manipulate or con people into buying a product knowing it will not perform the way it is intended. I'm asking for a recall on all the Fords that have this issue with the coolant leaking in the cylinders of the engine or whatever to cause the entire engine to need to be replaced. I'm a honest person and expect the same from others, especially the ones licensed to run business'. It is unfair to consumers who spend their hard earned money out here to keep the economy moving to be sold unsafe, tarnished, broken and knowingly corrupt products. Please help as many of us as possible, because a lot of us aren't rich, we are just hard working consumers hoping our money get us what we pay for! Fairness, Honesty and Quality Products.
