Check engine light was activated on my 2017 Fusion Titanium a week ago. Took car to the dealership on 5/25/24 and was informed that a coolant leak had caused a "milkshake" in the engine, which (as many others are reporting) now needs to be replaced--at a cost of $8000. Vehicle went out of warranty in late 2023.

The vehicle has started going through coolant and the exhaust has a sweet smell. It has the 1.5 litre ecoboost that has an active recall. I believe this is the issue. We still owe more than its worth and cannot afford to have a known recall issue cost us our transportation. It is only a matter of time before it destroys itself. I previously owned a 2014 fusion 2.0 that blew the motor due to the same issue. I had to put a new motor in that car. We picked the 1.5 engine since there were no reported issues at the time of purchase in 2022.

Engine light came on. Took it for repair and found coolant is leaking into the firing chamber resulting in the need for a longblock engine replacement. I was told I could keep driving it but it stranded me on a highway. It has been inspected by the dealership in Louisburg Kansas and two other auto shops.

In regards to the automatic transmission and torque converter. On May 14th 2024, while driving in a school parking lot at a speed of less than 5 MPH, I attempted to reverse my vehicle. To my surprise, the car did not respond and failed to move.

This malfunction left my car stuck in the middle of parking lot traffic, creating a potentially hazardous situation. Despite the engine starting without any difficulty, the vehicle remains unresponsive and cannot be driven in either forward or reverse. This issue has not only caused inconvenience but also raised concerns about safety, as it has rendered the vehicle inoperable. There was a message on the dashboard with a wrench that stated "Powertrain: See Owners Manual"

2017 ford fusion se with roughly 70,000 miles blew its engine in route to Wisconsin from Illinois. Less than 1.5 hrs into the drive, highway, steady speed, sudden drop in speed and white smoke out the back.

I recently experienced a problem with my 2017 Ford Fusion. The check engine light came on and the car was riding rough. I took it to a local mechanic and he determined that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. He replaced them and did a tune up and the car seemed fine. Two days later the check engine light came on again and the car started riding rough again. I took it back to the same place and he said one of the spark plugs blew again. He did some more research and found a TSB regarding my issue. Their is a known design flaw in these cars that were manufactured between 2017-2019 that allows coolant to leak into the engine. I made an appointment with a Ford dealer to confirm and I was told that my engine would need to be replaced. At this point, when I started the card, white smoke started billowing out of the exhaust and the coolant light illuminated. I have no choice but to replace the engine at my own expense since my warranty has expired. I did extensive research on this and found cases where people's cars have caught on fire. There are also reports of the car shutting down while on highways. Ford is aware that this is a design flaw but has not issued a recall. Thank you.

When hooked up to a scanner it reports DTCs P0300 and P0301-P0303. Is my understanding that this is a safety concern as it could cause the engine to fail and a fire to erupt.

I am the only owner and driver of vehicle with just under 70,000 miles. The vehicle has regular service maintenance with original dealership purchased from and no leaks or major problems have been detected during any visit. On Saturday 4/13 after battery was replaced, the check engine light came on. Engine coolant temperature too high warning came on shortly thereafter. Upon arriving to destination and car sitting for 4 hours, both lights went off. No issues the next two days with very minimal driving. On Tuesday 4/16 car was driven about 30 minutes and had issue restarting after sitting for about an hour. Upon restart, both warning lights reappeared. When car began to sputter at 65mph highway speeds, a flashing coolant warning was coupled with audio warning. Hazard lights and light traffic allowed car to be safely driven back to street, but eventually vehicle lost all acceleration. It was then parked in open lot and towed to independent service center after hours. (Normal service provider estimated two week delay before for any diagnosis.) On the following day, initial diagnosis was extremely low coolant and need for tune up. No leaks were detected, no battery issues, coolant was topped off, and vehicle was deemed drivable. Thursday 4/18 the vehicle was brought back for recommended tune up and also an oil change. Technician noticed smell of coolant coming out of exhaust and coolant level was considerably lower than previous day. Final diagnosis is coolant leak into motor resulting in blown head gasket. At minimum, replacement of affected cylinder, water pump and hoses is recommended. Most common course of action is complete motor replacement.

Last week (today is April 16, 2024) I noticed when I start my car lots of smoke is coming out the back. Days later the engine light appears and starts flashing then my car starts to shake and stall as I’m driving putting me and others on the road at risk. Before I break it starts to stall so I try to break way ahead of time before needing to so I don’t put cars in front of me at risk. I’ve taken it to a mechanic and he’s telling me it seems to be a manufacturing issue with the engine. My 2L engine head gasket #2 cylinder on a 2017 Ford fusion seems to be the problem. This is very unfortunate as I have been in love with my car since I first purchased it brand new in the beginning of 2018. I have a service appointment with ford in two weeks

The shift dial (park, neutral, drive, reverse), makes a continuous spin noise like it's stuck and trying to turn, but can't. This is the second time this is happening. I had it fixed the first time at the Ford dealership, and was short one year in the Recall group. 2017 year should have been included in that recall. After they fixed it, now the issue has returned. This issue results in the driver not being able to move in reverse. Therefore, you're stuck and unable to back up if needed. There are no warning lights. The only warning you get is when the rattling noise starts.
