Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Answer: I did notice an unusual behavior, like minutes before the fire the AC fan suddenly turned up blowing a non cold air, I attempted to turn off the vehicle 2 or 3 times until the fan and the vehicle completely turned off. I turned it back on to have AC again and it was good, after like less than 5 minutes I turned off the vehicle to get out of the car with my kid to drop him in his school. Minutes after I returned to the car, there was already smoke, had to call 911 after that. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle stopped accelerating, heard pop in vehicle behind me, all lite dash symbols flash and displayed message, stop vehicle safely now. Next morning, turn on vehicle to place into neutral to load onto tow truck to take to dealer, kept going back to park, while pulling vehicle onto tow truck, cabin filled with smoke, opened trunk, filling with smoke and then call 911 and fire dept extinguished fire. Have fire report, video and photos. Opened case number with Ford, been over a month and they state it is with the office of general council, unable to make contact with that dept. and customer service at Ford states they can not talk to me besides note i call. It is case number CAS-40994553-Q9P8R4
It all started with a cylinder 3 misfire warning code, spark plugs replaced, coils replaced. Then a coolant leak. No obvious signs of a leak no cracked tubing no puddles. Just coolant leaking. Was informed I have a coolant leak intrusion and need a new engine block. I still owe $14k on this vehicle and am past my warranty. This repair is going to cost $12k. Researched and found out this is a problem for these vehicles that ford had an engineering problem with these engines.
my shifter linkage bushing broke on my 2019 fusion when i went to put car in reverse leaving me stuck in the middle of a road. This is a known issue but the recall isn’t for later year fusions even though it has the same failure and defective bushing.

Known Coolant intrusion issue came up with the 2.0 Ecoboost. Began to lag on takeoff causing unsafe acceleration profiles. Took to dealership who confirmed poor design was the root cause.
Bought my car in 2019. Was unaware of coolant intrusion problem on my vehicle. Check engine light came on and mechanic just quoted me $13,000 to fix.
While driving we noticed the engine light came on so we took it to our local mechanic. He said we were leaking coolant and it was too extensive fro him to fix so he suggested we put coolant in every few days. We researched the problem and found that these cars had a recall for this exact issue yet our VIN does not show it. We went to Ford Dealership and they confirmed we need a new engine as they connected the IDS. This vehicle was built at the Hermosillo plant, has the same 1.5L EcoBoost engine, and has experienced the exact coolant intrusion failure that Ford recalled or extended coverage for on other vehicles. I am asking Fotrd to reconsider my case because my vehicle has the identical defect despite my VIN not being included. My kids purchased this car for my wife and I in October 2025. I also included a VIN Report based on my VIN Number and if scroll to the bottom of that report maybe page 23 you will see the Recall.
