Engine cylinder head overheats and leaks oil recall driving down the interstate this morning in rush hour traffic my car started shuttering. I was able to get to the side of the road before my dashboard went crazy stating my car overheated. When I got towed to the mechanic they discovered my coolant was leaking and it busted one of my cylinders which put a hole in my engine. When I called ford they stated my VIN wasn't included in the recall. I have the exact make, model and engine mentioned in the recall and exactly what they warned would happen, happened, but I was told it was a coincidence. I had no warning whatsoever. My temperature gauge was fine and there hasn't been anything leaking. This is a serious problem. I do not believe in coincidences this big.

I then, put my cars emergency brake on and called my mechanic. Luckily for me, this all happen infront of my house, actually, after the 2 hour drive I had finished coming from, my concerns are what if this incident would have happen outside of my town, or in the highway, my safety and even my own life was on the line for a few minutes, I can only be lucky for so long. A couple days after, I came to find out I did not have one recall incomplete but 3!, even more shocking, I did not receive notices for any of the 3 recalls from my cars dealership.

I went into my local ford dealership for a recall on july 2, 2019 and also told them my engine light was on and my car was overheating. In the last two years my vehicle has had two recalls fixed for this issue. I noticed within the last week not only was the engine light on but as I was driving the car began to suddenly jerk and start to overheat . I called ford customer service and they told me the recall for this issue for this was resolved and completed twice in the last two years... Obviously not. I went to pick up my car from the service and noticed it was just sitting in the front outside of the service so I went to find someone for the keys. My vehicle would not start so they had to give me a jump. I asked to speak to the manager because my vehicle has no problems starting when I dropped it off that morning. So the manager came back after a while talking to the mechanic working on my vehicle and said "they had to jump it a few times because it kept turning off". So now I'm upset because he's telling me whoever installed it put in a smaller one than the one that should be there. I told him that's funny because I bought the vehicle here less than two years ago and it hasn't been changed since. Now my vehicle will not turn on and has been sitting in the garage ever since because I can't afford the costly repairs.

Engine cylinder misfire with past engine block cracking due to another recall now coming back 5 years after initially recalled.
In moderate temperatures, ~40-60 degrees f, the engine will stall just after starting to drive. So in the spring and the fall. It does not occur in the winter or the summer. It usually occurs after the car has been warmed up and driven and then turned off for a while. For instance, if I drive out to lunch, stop and eat, and then start driving again. Just after I start moving, say 100 ft., the engine starts running rough and nothing I do will stop it from dying. Usually it starts right up and and then it never happens again that drive cycle. Only once has it occurred twice in a row. No "check engine light" or codes. Had it checked by a mechanic. They changed the fuel pressure regulator, but it did not fix the issue. Started occurring in the spring of 2018.

Hello, on 03/14/2019 I chatted ford on my numerous recalls on my 2013 ford fusion. I was given case# (xxxxx) and told to take to a ford dealership for assessment on prior recall repairs. In 2017 we had a coolant recall and was told by dave littleton ford in smithville, mo. That we had anti-freeze all over our engine and they had to replace the whole engine. We never had any problems or signs that it had a coolant problem? We took in because we got the recall notice. My car has never ran right since. It idles fast etc. In december our flex plate cracked, now 3 months later it cracked again. Our mechanic says the engine does not appear to have been lined up correctly with the transmission and we will continue to have issues because of the shotty mechanical work done by dave littleton ford. We have taken to gary crossley ford in kc, mo. They also agree there is shotty mechanical work done to the engine repair due to recall? We have been 2 weeks with no word on how this issue is going to be resolved and are without a car? I need some answers? The engine was not aligned correctly and sealant was put in places it should not have been when replaced. I am no mechanic but they have submitted in the claim they are sending in with greater detail candice says:the reason I am asking these questions is because we are not able to view claims entered by the dealer. I want to understand what it is that they were waiting for. So, they can complete the repair, they are just waiting for ford to say it can be done under the recall, is that correct? Amy says: yes if I was not sold a car with a faulty part I would not have had coolant all over my engine to have to be replaced. If an appointed ford mechanic had correctly replaced engine I would not be in this situation? Ford continues to close claims and ignore issues!

The engine get overheat and stop working. The coolant level keep decreasing along the driving, but didn't find any leaking. It should be related to ford recall 17s09
