Description of the problem | Accelerating down the highway when vehicle suddenly became unresponsive and sluggish. Check engine light began flashing. Pulled off highway. Had it towed to a ford dealer. They confirmed that it was a known and common issue on the 1. 6l and 2. 0l ecoboost engines where coolant leaks into the number 4 cylinder causing low compression and potential overheating rendering vehicle undrivable. Ford quoted me $6,500 for a new engine, as they stated, is the only fix. Consumers should not be on the hook because of a clear and obvious design flaw as stated by ford included in the 1. 6l ecoboost recall, but has not issued a recall to include the 2. 0l ecoboost engines. (see attached link regarding possible class action suit as prepared by a nashville law firm) countless others have complained on here and other forums. A recall needs to be issued immediately to include the 2014 fusion 2. 0l ecoboost engines!!! Please refer to below link... Https://www. Newsom. Law/ford-engine-overheating-lawsuit. Html. |
