2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

Service department said that the Ford Fusion lug nuts are swelling and need to be replaced. Said they may be hard to get off or they could crack and break. I fill this should be a cost that Ford should pay or replace them for me. Not at my cost.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while his son was driving at highway speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. His son was able to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway and then had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The contact was informed that antifreeze had leaked into an engine cylinder which resulted in engine failure. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where they confirmed the failure and gave him an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls or warranty on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

We having a problem with transmission failed. I noticed a recall for 2015 Ford Fusion. The car is running but stayed in limp mode and will not go over 40 mph.

i bought a 2015 Ford Fusion from a dealer in May 2022 i had only been driving the vehicle a month & 1/2 before it began to smoke really bad, so bad to where the drivers behind me visibility was affected....I made it home safely not knowing if the car would explode because of all the smoke and the smell, and the overheating of coolant and warning lights. I called the dealer I bought it from they said they couldn't help me cause it was past the few weeks they gave me to call them with issues, but said i can pay their mechanic to fix it for over $4000.00 which I do not have because I am on disability with a fixed income. I am still paying the note for this vehicle which I cannot drive and cannot afford to fix. It is just parked. I don't know what else to do, I took it to the Ford dealership near me and they said the engine needed to be replaced and would cost 10,442.00 which is more than what i owe on the car...I don't understand why there is no recalls for this vehicle and others that Ford and other dealers seem to know had or have this issue. I have read online and heard on YouTube so many people have had this same issue with their Ford vehicles and can't get any help to repair them. I am beyond frustrated that people can lie so easily, manipulate or con people into buying a product knowing it will not perform the way it is intended. I'm asking for a recall on all the Fords that have this issue with the coolant leaking in the cylinders of the engine or whatever to cause the entire engine to need to be replaced. I'm a honest person and expect the same from others, especially the ones licensed to run business'. It is unfair to consumers who spend their hard earned money out here to keep the economy moving to be sold unsafe, tarnished, broken and knowingly corrupt products. Please help as many of us as possible, because a lot of us aren't rich, we are just hard working consumers hoping our money get us what we pay for! Fairness, Honesty and Quality Products.

Vehicle MIL came on while on the interstate in very heavy traffic. Lost power and almost caused a severe accident. Barely made it to shoulder. Dealer performed diagnostics and stated it was coolant intrusion into 1.5 liter ecoboost which destroyed the engine. Evidently this is a known problem with this engine which the manufacturer has not addressed.

A flaw in design allows coolant intrusion into the cylinders ruining the engine and requiring engine replacement. TSBs have been issued on this problem which is caused by a flaw in the design. The car drove fine Monday morning, 9/19/2022 On Monday evening, driving 80 mph, (which is the speed limit on the 130 Toll Road), the car suddenly started shaking, slowed and did not want to accelerate and the check engine light started flashing. The car was checked with OBD reader, error code P0302, a misfire in cylinder 2. The next morning, 9/20/2022, after confirming with Ford service that it would be ok drive, drove 5.5 miles to dealership, with the car shaking, vibrating & check engine light flashing. On 9/22/2022 we were told the engine needed to be replaced at a cost of about $11,000. After researching online, I found there is a known design flaw on the Ecoboost engines that allows the intrusion of coolant into the cylinder and the only repair is engine replacement. Ford has been aware of the flaw in design on the Ecoboost engines for years but continued to manufacture and sell them putting peoples lives in danger by selling a car that can suddenly lose power, vibrate violently and possibly catch on fire if it overheats. There is a Customer Satisfaction Program 21N21 covering the short block on 2017-2019 Ford Fusion Ecoboost cars but nothing on prior years. Per a Ford Customer Experience Specialist I was informed that financial assistance on my car ended at 7 years or 150,000 miles; any assistance they could have offered ended on 9/14/2022; 6 days prior to the incident. I was informed that how Ford determines financial assistance is proprietary and no further explanation could be given.. I understand the car is 8 years old; however, a well-built car with low mileage (53,590) should not need a new engine. What happened to Ford “Built to Last?” Ford needs to stand behind their products and do the right thing by covering the costs of repair due to a design flaw.
