My fusion wont start and i have to let it sit for hours before it will start. I thought it was battery but had that replaced and had whole car checked and the firestone could find no reason why it wasnt starting. The engine light and battery showed up when it doesnt start but sends no error codes. Today i had to tow my car because me and my family pulled over to eat and got back in the car and it didnt start. This is the first time but what made it worse was having my kids in the car stuck in a part of town. I have exhausted every resource to try to figure out this problem but there is nothing. I think the cars ecu is faulty or something because it wont start again but if i wait for hours it will maybe start back up but thats not for sure. Im afraid to take this car on the highway because i think it may die while me and my family are in it and that is a big concern of safety. My car was bought brand new and under 60000 miles. There is no reason this car should be having these kind of problems. This puts alot of strain on my family and military career not saying im more important then anyone else just saying no one should have ot go through this.Yes vehicle is available for inspection if it starts
I was driving down the road, and a wrench symbol came on. Once i cut the car off and drive it the next day the symbol was off. I looked the symbol up online and it stated that it had to due with the powertrain. I made an appointment to the ford dealership here for diagnostic. They just called me and informed me that the vehicle has codes for misfire on start up and a coolant pump issue and that it is leaking into the engine walls. I am very displeased about this issue because I've only had the car for 2 years.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that they noticed that the amount of mileage they should be able to drive was significantly lower than what was stated when manufactured. When they initially started the vehicle, it would display a rough start, and a cloud of white smoke would come from the fuel pipe from the rear. The check engine light had illuminated. The contact was informed that the failure was related to the TSB with the federal safety agency Number: 10214126 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a misfire with cylinder 2. The contact with the failure could have also resulted from a failed fuel tank as a whole or damaged walls to the fuel tank. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure where it was confirmed the VIN was not included in the TSB with the federal safety agency Number: 10214126 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact was referred to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
Engine keeps having misfire issues. Taken to gary crossley ford in april of 2021 and warrantied engine replacement. In march 2022 taken to throuroughbred ford engine went bad again with antifreeze leaking into the oil , engine replaced again. Here we are in december 2023 and having same issues. And thoroughbred ford is backed up until march of 2024 and cant fix the engine again until then. So I am paying my car payment and have no car to drive. I bought this car brand new with zero miles and have had nothing but issues with the engine.
My car Transmission started to make a Rattling Noise while leaving a store. While on the highway, far left lane going 65mph, all of a sudden the car slowed rapidly with traffic all around me traveling 65+mph. I had to get over 3 lanes to exit the highway going 25. I was almost hit several times by vehicles going 65+. This could have caused a deadly accident. Luckily I made it to the exit without a collision. The South Belleville Ford dealership inspected the car and said the flexplate was cracked. I found out from Ford that they put out a Customer Satisfaction Program repair for the same flexplate my car is equipped with, covering the cost of repair and a rental vehicle at 100% but my vehicle, even though it was manufactured during the time specified and at the assembly plant specified with the specified transmission and flexplate, it did not qualify for the program because it has a different engine than what they had on file. They offered to cover 40% of repair since my car did have the defective flexplate. This is an extreme safety hazard as it could cause a deadly accident. It's a transmission problem, the engine is irrelevant and shouldn't matter. Ford needs to recall all vehicles equipped with the defective flexplate and not wait until it cracks because when it cracks someone could die. This is not a wait-and-see issue. This is a replace the defective part immediately before someone dies. This also puts other drivers on the road at risk of sudden death if the car in front of them has the defective flexplate and it suddenly cracks while traveling at high speeds and suddenly rapidly decelerates like mine did. The program even states that is what can happen if it cracks, so they know of this extreme safety problem. Ford plants will change what they are making for a couple of months and that is how I ended up with a different engine and my VIN not being reported by the plant as having been manufactured there at that time with that same defective flexplate.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 50 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated.

I put car into park to use the atm and then could not get it back into gear it gave a lot of different issues system fault error oil pressure errors battery error collision error and I ended up replacing the gear shift bushing which had deteriorated and broke off and that fixed most of issues now car makes loud blaring alarm sound that is not the normal car dinging it's loud and high pitched and acts like my battery is dead but won't start or shows any signs it is being jumped. Like the battery is completely dead won't take or hold charge.
My car in February of 202: got stuck in park they said it was electrical issue, then months later I ended up with a coolant leak that then combusted my engine. New engine in August of 2023 fast forward to November 2023 my car is doing the same thing it stalled in the road with myself and newborn in the car, lost all speed and now it will not go in drive or reverse just like it did in February of 2023. It’s been in the shop twice and now ongoing it’s third time and I find this to be a severe issue because if my car is going to keep stalling while driving there is no reason to keep fixing this car. I’m aware past fusion’s have been recalled for something of similar problems so it makes me wonder if this should be recalled as well.

Coolant leaked in cylinder wall
Coolant leaking into cylinder 3. Took to dealership, apparently there’s a flaw in the engine design. Included all ford fusions apparently. How is this not a recall? When it’s clearly Fords fault for this, not the consumers.
Coolant leaked into short block
I only have 109,000 miles and I am needing a new engine. They are telling me that the cylinder wall is cracked and something about a blockage. I cannot afford to replace it. They are telling me it’s a known issue with ford but there’s no recall and that’s why they discontinued the ford fusion.
My car started running weird, it would shake when at idle. It did this for about a week before the check engine light came on. I took my car to a mechanic and they determined the head gasket was bad. I took my car to a ford dealership for confirmation of the problem. They confirmed I had a bad head gasket. My safety is put at risk because this can cause engine failure. If my engine failed in the middle of the highway that would be extremely dangerous.

Last year my car started overheating for no apparent reason checked coolant reservoir and visibly seemed empty but when I removed the cap antifreeze rose fast. Added antifreeze and it stopped overheating. About 3 months ago Because it overheated I had to get the head gasket replaced, timing components replaced, heads repaired, and engine flushed(antifreeze had entered engine), not to mention labor all costing roughly $3,000. Only for it to happen again and now I’m out of $3,000 because the same thing is happen only this time my car is shaking and smoking from the tail pipe badly. In the mean time my fiancé has lost his job due to us not being able to drive the car. After doing god knows how much research to find out this is an ongoing problem with this particular make of car. Because of having to pay for countless repairs and no one seeming to know what’s going on with my car I am now behind on bills and still without a car that is only 4 years old. I haven’t done any long driving to other states beside neighbors states that are about 2-3 hours away but that shouldn’t matter because it’s a new car I shouldn’t have any problems driving it wherever. I purchased this car at a lil over 30k miles my problems started at about 61k miles which is odd since the manufacturer warranty had just expired about 1k miles before that. I believed in ford for the longest and now I am regretting ever buying one. My very first car purchase from a lot and it turns out to be the worst car I’ve ever purchased. I’m sure me typing all of this probably won’t get read or even looked into but this is an experience I wouldn’t dare want anyone else to go through so I’m sure to leave many reviews but I thought you should know. Also because of the over heating my car has cut off at times where my life could have been taken (at lights and intersections) have a good day!
Overheating and coolant leaking Into cylinder block causing misfire in engine. Could cause stalls and potentially a fire from overheating. Known issue from Ford they are only offering to repair up to a certain. Mileage
Coolant Intrusion. Coolant is leaking into the head gasket, causing car to say coolant running hot. Also causes car to lose speed. There was a recall for this same model, a month before my model was built, but clearly the problem was never fixed.
