2015 FORD FUSION Complaints

Ford has been putting this Eco Boost engine in their cars for a very long time. They are two class action suits about this particular engine and that it leaks coolant into the engine. NO ONE told any of us consumers about this problem. In fact they put out service bulletins to the dealers but we were never told anything about it. You are also putting this problem into an engine category when most of those claims are specifically for this problem (11 is what you state but you need to look at your 184) . I am alerting all the complaints about this to file a claim about this very situation. This is truly shameful. You have a co. profiting over the consumer and no one is doing anything about the engine problem. We are now told the car needs a new engine at the tune of 8000+ dollars and honestly no one can even tell us when the parts are available! We could have made a more educated decision had we been told. 2) 1.6L EcoBoost Overheating Issues There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to problems with the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost engines overheating. There have been several lawsuits, service bulletins, and recalls related to overheating problems. In 2017, Ford issued a recall for some 2014 Escape, 2014-2015 Fiesta ST, and 2013-2014 Fusion models. The main issue seems to be running low on coolant, which causes the cylinder head to overheat, crack and leak oil. Some even ran into fires due to high pressure oil leaks. Ford added coolant level sensors as part of the recall. As of recently, there is a lawsuit that claims the Ford 1.6 EcoBoost has an inherent flaw. It alleges coolant leaks into the cylinders thereby causing corrosion, engine failures, and possibly even fires. We’ll leave it at that since there’s quite a bit of info out there regarding the recalls, service bulletins, etc.

Spotted another puddle under the car. Took to local shop & told left front caliper is leaking and both front calipers need to be replaced. Also told the cooling line to turbo is leaking & needs to get repaired. Having vehicle towed to dealer as unsafe to drive. When I drove vehicle back from shop, low brake fluid light finally came on. I have also had both brakes lines replaced twice in the last 5 years & transmission replaced. Believe this car may be a lemon.

I have had to replace both brake line twice in the last 7 years. Luckily, I noticed a puddle under the car & then the brake pedal went to the floor. Have been stranded at locations 3 times and the 4th time, I was able to get car home & then towed to shop for repair. I have contacted Ford numerous times about this issue with no resolution. No lights illuminated to warn of low brake fluid or low brake pressure. Even after pedal went to floor, no warning lights.

As I was driving on 9/10/22 with my 2yr old daughter and the vehicle spontaneously lost pressure in the braking system out of nowhere making my vehicle hard to stop. I contacted my local ford dealership in regards to the matter but was very dissatisfied. A repair shop informed me it was the driver side brake hose.

Brake line delaminated - had to replace after brakes went out completely. Paid out of pocket for repair after tow. Power assist steering stopped working abruptly. Had bolts replaced for earlier recall related to salt in states with winter conditions which could cause this exact issue of the power steering to fail. Hill assist is also not working.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH he attempted to depress the brake pedal and it failed to respond. There were unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle went forward and hit the vehicle in front. There were no air bags deployed. The front passenger side headlight and bumper were destroyed. The police arrived on the scene and filed a report. There were no injuries or medical treatment needed. The contact drove the vehicle to a local repair facility and was currently not repaired. There was no diagnosis of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to a manufacturer's recall (22R01) of brake failure from Ford Manufacturer. The approximate mileage of the failure was 64,000.

While I was driving home from work my car shortly turned off while I was on the freeway. Luckily it turned back on in time that nothing happened. A couple days later while driving home from work my car started violently shaking while driving since then I did not drive the car and took it to a mechanic for inspection. Soon inspection they found a Cylinder #2 misfire resulting in the need to replace entire engine. Car has 67,000 miles and has been kept in great condition. There is no reason for the engine to be breaking at 67,000 miles. I will now be paying about $8,000 for a new engine on a car that originally cost me $12,000. I have only had this car for 3 years. I am aware that the 2016 model of my car had a recall on the engine for a similar issue and I believe the 2015 should be recalled as well. Not only is a faulty engine a huge expense for the owner, it’s also a huge safety concern for the driver and other drivers on the road.

MY CAR HAS BEEN SHIFTING DIFFERENTLY AND RUNNING ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND SAID THAT THE SHIFTING GEARS WERE DELAYED. SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE SHIFTING. I WILL CALL FORD DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING IT BECAUSE OF SAFETY. I SAW ON THE SAFETY WEBSITE A RECALL ON 22S43 DAMAGED OR MISSING BUSHING THAT MAY PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM SHIFTING INTO THE INTENDED GEAR. IM WONDERING IF THIS WOULD BE MY VECHICLE.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while her son was driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and shook upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact also stated that white smoke was coming from the engine but was uncertain if any warning lights were illuminated. The contact's husband inspected the vehicle and discovered a coolant leak inside the engine; however, he was unable to determine where the coolant leak was going. One day while her son was driving the vehicle, the failure worsened and the vehicle was towed to the residence. The dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
