The car would not start due to the throttlebody failed to operate. Luckily, the car was parked when this occured and had to be towed to nearest Ford dealer. Who informed me if I had been driving and it had failed during operation, car would have come to a dead stop while driving and/or in my case failed to start. They said throttlebody gives the engine the air it needs to preform. We were out of town and due to drive on a main highway for two hundred miles at 70miles per hour! I have included invoices from the Ford dealer, invoice from auto dealer- who had repairs done on car, and the carfax report-that did not show any throttlebody recalls or repairs, nor did the auto dealer's report. The car was certified for 21,953 miles by the state of Florida and carfax. How is that a car's throttlebody would fail after 21,000 miles, unless it was already defective in the beginning!?? the reports indicate the vehicle was a 1 owner car and 21,953 miles with passing thru two systems and never detected. I had only owed the car for 61 days under 24,000 miles when it failed!
I had both a check engine light and wrench power train light come on. My vehicle was emitting white smoke from the exhaust and a sloshing water sound in my dash behind the steering wheel. My car has 96,000 miles on it and is serviced regularly. I had it at the dealership in Dec 2022 for an oil change and they didn-??t indicate any issues. By Jan 2023 my car needs a new engine.

On July 21, 2022 I was driving my 2017 Ford Fusion I was driving on route 95 when my car started to over rev and began shaking, then I lost complete engine power. I nearly getting ran off the road from the cars behind me. Thank goodness I was in the right-hand lane when this incident happened. I had my 2017 Ford Fusion towed to Purvis Ford service center in Fredericksburg Virginia. The tech called me letting me know that my torque converter has failed and needs to be fixed. The cost was going to be $6,250 plus $200 diagnosis fee. I was made aware of the recall on the Fusions torque converter failure. I was told my Vin number isn't a part of the recall. I believe my car needs to be a part of this recall everything stated in the recall description my vehicle had done. What do I need to do to continue to get my vin number on this national recall.

Engine coolant leaking into cylinder #3. Check engine light on and code says engine misfire. Coolant very low and if I had not caught it would have eventually blown up the engine possibility causing a catastrophic accident. After research and talking to the dealer this is a very common problem in the Ford EcoBoost 1.5 and 2.0 engines with as little as 10,000 miles! White smoke pours out of the exhaust on startup each morning with the smell of burnt coolant in the air.

Vehicle started making noises from the gas cap like vacuum noises. After refueling, car seem like it was having problems starting. After letting it sit for a couple minutes at the gas station, the car cranked but started putting like it wanted to turn off. Got to a red light and car suddenly turned off. Message shown on dash : Auto StartStop disabled. Manual Start Required. Car still wouldn-??t crank. Got a scanner hooked up to the car and it said Evap Purge Solenoid Valve. There were recalls on this type of problem but not the same engine size. This could have caused a fatal accident had traffic been moving.
I am filing a complaint in regards to the KNOWN safety issue with these cars. My coolant is leaking into cylinders 2 & 3. 60,000 mi, very well maintained vehicle. This can cause fire while driving. My wife and kids use this car. Please do something about this. This many of same problem is a recall, class action? Thank You.
All right, so I have a little bit of bad news for you, so we hooked up a code reader to the car. And there were a couple of misfires. So there's a cylinder to misfire a cylinder or a random misfire detected, a cylinder 3, misfire a cylinder one misfire. So our service advisor thinks that it's probably not an issue with a coolant. An issue with the head gasket, and he would recommend that that gets replaced. And he said, at some point, you might need to replace the entire engine.
Engine dash light keeps coming on. A mechanic check engine number and printed TSB19-2346: 2.0L EcoBoost Ana says it-??s under recall. But Ford dealerships around me refuse to do anything about it it. The error message is saying 2nd cylinder miss fire. Coolant keeps going low and car started to shut itself down.
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion bought in June 2020. (No warranty) Oct 2020 the Transmission went out. I REPLACED IT. August 2021 the Wrench ??"? came on and was giving code P0302 cylinder 2 was misfiring. Changed all the spark plugs and coils except #2 because the was stuck or stripped. 5 people and Ford dealership (they wanted to much) tried to get it out (no luck) took it to a shop they got it out but had to re thread it. It drove fine. THEN one day I'm driving and my car literally started over heating and said I was low on coolant pulled over and let it cool down gave it more coolant. Drove it like nothing to see here. Everything was fine, SO I THOUGHT 1 week later it did the same thing but the coolant kept running out and my car immediately started to blow out smoke actually turned off before i could pull over in the middle of the freeway (extremely dangerous) for everyone called. I took the car back to the mechanic and told him what was wrong and this dude said I blew the engine I need a new one. WTF! HOW" Gave me a quote for $4900. #Ford you need to do a EFFIN recall bruh how is literally everyone going through the same gd problem" ITS a malfunction with Ford. Then to find out that Ford has a faulty built engine block that allows coolant to leake over to spark plug #2, #3 causing them to misfire, knowing it will cause problems for the consumer is down right evil disgusting and dishonest. People are spending hard earned money on these cars getting loans, to get reliable working cars to take car of our families. only to have the car stop working at no fault of our our own. I HATE Ford for this warranty or not yall knew this was happening to these 1.5 EB engines And I know there's lawsuits out there for this. I'm definitely looking into that
