I have a 2015 Ford Fusion with 67,000 miles on it that seems to have the same problem as prior years engines with coolant leaking into the head. I now have to replace my engine as a result. I brought my car to the dealership and they said that they had another car - exact same as mine - with the same exact problem. The car wasn't starting and was running roughly, with liquid swooshing around in the car. Engine · reported at 67,000 miles
Car began leaking coolant, overheating, smoking (white smoke) and misfiring on cylinder #3. Based on my research, this is an issue Ford knows about due to it being a defect in the design, yet I'm being told I have to pay to replace the engine. We replaced the spark plugs, coils, and nothing helped. We took it to a mechanic and were told we need an entire engine replacement and it won't be covered by Ford. Engine
