Description of the problem | We have a 2015 ford fusion se. We were the 2nd owner and purchased from a dealership. While driving the car it started sounding like fluid in the dashboard and the car started shaking. Then it started blowing out tons of white smoke out the tail pipe, then the check engine light came on. We pulled over, parked car. Let sit and cool down. There was oil, transmission fluid, and coolant in the car. We have done all oil changes and maintenance regularly. We had the car towed to the dealership. After several days they came back stating it is a manufacturer defect and that basically the car sucked in coolant through the engine and was burning (reason for white smoke). It ruined the engine. The manufacturer warranty was over at 60k miles........ We have 65k and ford is refusing to cover the issue even though this is a defect that on their end. Also the intake manifold was replaced at 46k miles. How can ford state that they are not responsible? We paid $16k for a car we have had barely over a year and now a pile of scrap metal. |
