2019 Ford Fusion

2019 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L. Not made aware of CSP on my car. Have dealer notes saying my car wasn’t listen in OASIS for notification. Although when I found the CSP online my car is an “affected vehicle”. I now have low coolant, white exhaust smoke and severe knocking from my engine. I had a first ever reported issue to the dealership in 05/2023 where my car stalled out and dash lights illuminated. They ran codes and the only documented code in the service paperwork was P0222. They found a “chaffed wire”. They did not upgrade my PCM. Although by 05/2023 that was the recommendation on the CSP for the dealership to do after previously failed bandaid fixes by Ford. My car will be going to the dealership on 12/9/24 to address my concerns and request all of my detailed service records. And really figure out why exactly the dealership didn’t complete ANYthing issued in the CSP especially when I was taking my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. I am within the 6 or 7 years and 84k miles or whatever it is now. It continuously changes but honestly I am quite upset that faulty engines aren’t being recalled by Ford but Ford will issue a recall on BACK UP CAMERAS. Like seriously. Engine > camera A faulty back up camera is probably not the same level of fire/safety risk as the faulty engines Ford continues to refuse to recall.

I purchased the car from countryside dealership. The car had a roaring sound going on which I thought was to do either the tires. I took it back 3 days later because that’s the o ky appointment they had . They told me it was possibly my transmission not my tire at all! 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

Ford had a TSB 22-2322 and previous recalls due to coolant intrusion for vehicles equipped with1.5L engine instead of long block replacement ford is requiring short block replacements vehicle has been in service almost 2 months and has had engine replace twice in 1 year span and now needs a cylinder head replacement due to engine overheating and leaking due to those coolant intrusions and I’m expecting to pay out of pocket which is extremely frustrating

The wrench light came on and a warning stating "SHIFT SYS FAULT Service Required" showed. The dial shifter would automatically go back to "P" after shifting to "R" or "D." At first it would drive but would not go in reverse. My daughter had driven to work and the car stalled just as she was leaving the parking space, but lurched a few times as she tried to figure out the problem. If she had been on the street, this could have caused an accident. I bought a replacement part (Transmission Shifter Bushing Transit Connect) from a Ford dealership and fixed the problem. The cap and connect had disintegrated. The wrench light went away and the car was fine for two months. The part disintegrated again today. The car has not been inspected by any representatives.

The contact's wife owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his wife was pulling out of the driveway, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the temperature gauge quickly rose to hot(H). The vehicle was taken to the residence where coolant was added to the coolant reservoir. The failure reoccurred on several occasions and on one occasion the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted after the engine had cooled down. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a crack in the engine due to coolant intrusion in one of the cylinders, and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the dealer four times; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

This vehicle has a known issue by Ford. In Ford TSB 22-2229 it acknowledges "P0300, P0301-P0304,P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly." When explained, it states that this issue could cause reduced engine power which obviously be a very dangerous situation if the vehicle is traveling at highway/interstate speeds. The replacement of the long block engine assembly is a complete engine replacement that Ford is not assuming responsiblity for either from a safety or cost standpoint. We are regularly receiving these diagnostic codes now and a recent diagnosis from a Ford dealership confirmed the need for a long block engine assembly replacement which is extremely costly and right now is cost prohibitive, especially for a vehicle that is only 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.
