2018 Ford Fusion Engine Problems

“Drivetrain warning light then a check engine light came on. Had the codes read (p2119) came up took to Ford shop and was told my throttle body actuator control system was stuck closed and had failed. My vehicle has just over 41000 miles on it. Luckily it is covered by the warranty.”

“Check engine light, lots of white smoke out of tailpipe and dark black spark plugs at 15,000 miles! Dealer said I got bad gas or vandalism therefore no warranty coverage. I had to pay a local mechanic to replace spark plugs, pump out and replace fuel. Two weeks later I receive a Ford letter stating coolant can leak into the cylinder bores causing exactly happened to my vehicle. Now I have to seek reimbursement.”

“While stopped at a intersection for a red light the car completely died. I couldn't turn on the emergency flashers, roll down windows or unlock doors. Everything was dead. I was idling at the stop light when this happened.”

“I started losing coolant as a I drove without any visible leaks around the engine or cooling system. I decided to take the vehicle in to my dealer only to find out that the coolant is leaking internally and that the dealer is very used to seeing this issue on 2018 and 2019 Ford fusions. They told me that they will need to replace the entire engine. Thankfully it's under warranty. If this is such a common issue that the dealer is aware of it as soon as I bring in the vehicle, why is there no recall on this issue? …”

“Purchased 2018 Ford Fusion titanium used in august 2019. In december 2020 my check engine light came on and I took it for service. Service told me that there is a technical bulletin on the ecoboost engine because there is a bad cast on the head. This causes coolant to leak into the oil. The only way to repair is to replace the engine. Ford refuses to stand behind their product and the cost of fixing it falls on me. The vehicle was moving when the check engine light came on and the car smelt of burning. White smoke was coming from the exhaust.”
