On August 10th 2023 while traveling at highway speed on Il Rt 80, The vehicle started shaking violently. There was heavy vibration coming from the engine, & service engine light began to flash. Car was pulled off the road immediately into a gas station. This incident was abrupt, Isolated & nothing prior indicated an issue. My daughter and her friend were in the vehicle and very fortunate to have safely pulled off a busy highway without accident or injury. The vehicle has since been inspected by a Ford Dealership & a licensed auto repair shop. It has been reported that the engine has failed due to internal engine components in the lower portion of the motor. It is not feasible to rebuild this part of the motor. It has been advised I get a new replacement engine by the dealership & shop.
I was driving the car and it started to overheat so I pulled over. I then drove the car to my home and it had a miss in the engine along with white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

I could not see where the coolant leaked out on the ground. I also had to have the transmission replace at the dealership I bought it from due to transmission complete failure. Time to recall this make and model. 1. Engine, Transmission failure 2. Sitting along the highway in the middle of no where.. a woman, you can guess, not safe!! 3.Yes Transmission replaced by dealership and Engine confirmed by service center to have coolant in cylinders. 4. No warning lights at all for either. Only temp gage for overheating.

This 2017 Ford Fusion is equipped with the 1.5L Ecoboost engine. This engine experienced a catastrophic engine failure due to coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. Check engine light comes on and flashes indicating it should not be driven. This was confirmed by factory service at Corwin Ford in Spokane WA. The vehicle has just over 80,000 miles. Dealer says this is a known issue where the engine block is machined so thin between the cylinder wall and the water jacket that the block cracks and coolant leaks into the cylinder. Ford knows about the issue and at one point issued "Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12" to address the issue. However the window of coverage is so narrow and notification to owners was not made. Ford knows about this issue and it is a safety concern. The potential for total loss of power while driving can result in an unsafe driving condition. The intrusion of coolant into the cylinder and potentially the oil system can pose a fire hazard. Ford should recall this engine and replace with a redesigned engine block.

The component that failed is the engine. A coolant intrusion problem on cylinders causing coolant to access the combustion area. This is causing large amounts of white smoke to be emitted from tail pipe. Also there is a cylinder miss that shakes the vehicle while driving. This is very frightening by the driver. I am afraid of the day it breaks down on the side of the road, leaving me stranded and a hazard to other drivers. Vehicle was taken to the dealer only to find that the entire engine needs replacement due to a design flaw of the cylinder block. This is not a single incident issue, but rather a widespread issue in vehicles manufactured from 2015 to 2019. Vehicles listed is also for the 1.5 and 2.0 liter engine. It is stated in Ford's Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12. This is for the 1.5 liter engine. No program has been issued for the 2.0 liter which leaves many vehicles with potential engine failures still on the highway.

Went for oil change & vehicle checkup (tire rotation, brake inspection, etc) at dealership & advised lug nuts (2 piece lug nut composition) were swelling & recommended replacing with 1 piece lug nuts - cost me over $100 to replace. Should be recall - faulty parts. Less than 15,000 miles on car.
ACCIDENT
I purchased a Ford “Reclaim” from a dealership that said the vehicle was in good working order and that Ford had fixed all prior issues and I was ensured by the dealer that Ford can not put an “unsafe” reclaim back out on the market. After starting to have issues with the vehicle myself (at approx 50k miles). I located the previous warranty claims on the vehicle. At 33k miles the previous owner had the short block engine repaired in 2020 due to coolant leaking into cylinder 3. In October of 2022 I took the 2017 Ford Fusion 1.5L into a independent shop with concerns that it was blowing white smoke out of the tailpipe. A chemical test was ran and “no indication of a blown head gasket”. I was advised to take it to the dealer. I did, they were unable to run diagnostic at that time but put a mark on the coolant reservoir. In May 2023 the car was still blowing white smoke from tailpipe on start up, I had lost approx 2” of coolant from reservoir and oil was reading overfilled but no milkiness. I took it back to dealer who did diagnostic and coolant was once again leaking into a cylinder; they said repair was possibly covered under a ford CSP program as long as I was under 84k miles. I was at 80150. They are replacing the short block (for the second time) under the CSP, however this should be an investigation or even a full recall as so many people have reported this issue and fords “all access” to this CSP only lasted 4 months, and now has a mileage cap. This 2017 Fusion has needed two engines block replacements in less than 84k miles. I am fortunate I did not sustain an accident or injuries due to engine failure.
