Description of the problem | Our well maintained 4 year old fusion with 1. 6l ecoboost, started making noise, engine completely died while driving on city street, smoke came pouring out. Ford determined crack in engine by cylinder head to be the cause. Ford informed us our vehicle was not involved in a recall, and over warranty miles (80k). We have researched and learned of the 1. 6l ecoboost engine recalls because of risk of cracked cylinder head/engine. Our local sm told us ford was likely to cover all but $700 of the repair, then the next day informed us ford would only agree to pay 1400 toward new engine, with us responsible for the remaining cost. Ford refused covering our rental. We have been without the vehicle for nearly 3 weeks now |
