Vehicle was apart one of many recalls, had fixed, same issues arised and had another recall, took back in and now Ford is stating we need a new engine but wont be covered under the recall. The recall had issues with the engine and leaking into a colander which is the same issue we are having now, but they wont replace it unless we buy a whole new engine out of pocket. The only reason we knew of any recalls was because the first time my husbands car overheated, towed it to Ford and the pulled up at least 6 or 7 recalls needing to be fixed. We were never notified of them all. We have had nothing but issues with the recalls and it all did a temporary fix that lead to more issues.

Ford Fusion recall - coolant leaks / engine overheating and fires I bought a 2013 Ford Fusion with 36,000 miles on it less than three months ago. This vehicle was included in the 2017 recall due to coolant leaks and engine overheating issues which have resulted in engine fires. The recall did not provide any repairs or replacements to the coolant system but instead installed a sensor intended to notify the driver when overheating was occurring and to shut down the car engine before a fire ignited. My car did get this sensor before I bought it and a pressure test was performed, however a coolant leak is still present and the vehicle did overheat to the point of engine and computer shut down. There is currently no long-term fix suggested by Ford or the dealership for this issue. The existing recall does not protect the driver or car occupants of imminent danger from engine fires or from property damage.

My wife was driving home in madison Wisconsin in her 2013 Ford Fusion with the 1.6 L engine. The car had only been running for about five minutes when the engine coolant overtemp warning came on. She was already in the exit lane and pulled off the beltline and stopped at the base of the exit ramp at xxxxxxx tire and auto. She shut the car off and was getting out her cell phone to call me when a man pulled up alongside of her and told her 'lady you had better get out of your car because it is on fire.' The fire department station was only a block away and was immediately called while a couple of fire extinguishers from the tire and auto place were used on it. It did not help and the entire engine compartment including the hood, fenders, windshield and right front tire were completely burned up. A police and fire report was filled out. The car had a little over 75000 miles on it and had been regularly serviced. Over a year ago the engine coolant bypass solenoid was replaced at the Ford dealer in evansville wi. We never received word on the 2017 recall.

Tamara recall my Ford Fusion make a 'frat' noise/sound that comes from the gas tank. When the noise starts the engine will narely idle and sometimes dies. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is being driven down the road or just sitting idling. One time I was pulling out from a stop sign when this noise started and the car died with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Other times it's just an annoyance an the engine runs fine. When I googled it I've noticed that several other Ford Fusion with the turbo engine have the same issue. This has been happening off and on again for a year and a half now. I have a link to a youtube video of another Ford Fusion with the turbo engine doing the same thing mine does. Thank you for looking into this issue! https://youtu.be/ag4ssmgfsgg

A letter was mailed to me on April 2017 informing me of safety recall 17S09. We have been in contact with our local dealership to have this inspected and repaired when parts became available. The special order for parts was not placed until 7/3/18. They have not come in yet, per our local dealership, and I have documentation of all of this. On Saturday 8/8/2018 the fire department was called to my residence to put out an engine compartment fire due to thisrecall issue. The engine started smoking as I pulled into my driveway with my 6 year old daughter in the car. No warning lights or engine overheating signals had alerted me. The fire escalated very quickly, and flames were seen coming drom under the hood and on the underside of the car. The vehicle is a total loss, and this has created a major financial hardship for our family.

I was at a resteraunt drive through windo, placed my car in park. The car was in drive by the gear but the dash showed that it was still in park. The gear would move back and forth with ease but nothing was happening on dash the car even though I had placed it in drive it was obviously still in park. I could not move out of the drive through and it had to be shut down until I could get a tow. I had to take it to Ford and they told me that I needed to replace the shift cable to the transmission. I did not have the money to fix this so I am driving my grandmothers car I heard of a recall for the same issues about a week later with 2013 Ford Fusion but the Ford said my VIN was not included. I feel this is a bigger issue than they thought and I am not happy and without a vehicle

Took car in for coolant system recall May 8 th, after recall was done the coolant light came on several times and had to add coolant to the system. July 10th car overheated and shut down towed the car to Ford and they said they did not get all the air out the system and they calibrated the system and gave me the car back. Then July 20 th the car did same thing said it was over heating and car shut down. Had it towed back to Ford again this time they said they could not find anything wrong with the car had it for 7 days. I was told to drive the car and if system shut down again to call their tow company. Two days later the car was overheating not holding coolant and white smoke coming from exhaust. Ford towed it to there store again and 4 days later called me and said that the head gaskets was blown and recommended a motor put in for 2,200. I believe my problems was from the recall and something went wrong. But Ford is saying they won't help me that the warranty is expired.

I drove from my house to the highway which is about 3.8 miles. I got on the highway and after a about a minute or two, I started hearing a weird faint noise. I looked around thinking it was maybe a car near me, and I saw smoke starting to come out from under the hood. Thankfully the rest stop was less than hale a mile away. I got to the rest stop, parked the car and smoke started to come out from the under the dashboard. I had just filled the car with gas the night before, so I made sure to keep my distance while waiting for the fire department to arrive. The front of the car quickly went up in flames. The fire department arrived and put the fire out before the whole car disintegrated. There was no check engine light, no warning signs at all. I had taken the car to Ford last October for a recall, which I thought was taken cared of. I had called Ford, but they state the recall would not cause an engine fire, so they will not own up to it. I have always maintained my car, so there's no reason that I can think of that would make this happen. Please help me, I know in my heart that this is something Ford should take responsibility for. This could happen to someone else, who may end up getting injured severely from it. Let's prevent this from happening
