2019 Ford Fusion

I have a 2019 Ford Fusion. The bolt holding the steering wheel to the steering shaft has come loose. in May 2018 there was a recall for this same loose steering wheel issue on 2014-2018 versions of the Fusion. There is no loose steering wheel recall for the 2019 Fusion. Ford's remedy for the loose steering wheel was replacing the bolt holding the steering wheel to the steering shaft with a longer bolt on the 2014-2018 Fusions. I would expect the longer bolt was used in production in my 2019 Fusion steering, and that's why it is not recalled. But that longer bolt has also come loose like the older shorter bolts. This would make me suspect the repaired older recalled Fusion steering wheels could eventually come loose again just like my steering wheel did.

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.

My backup camera often freezes after I shift from reverse to drive. The screen turns blue and at time will have a live video of me driving showing what’s behind my car. Also my engine loses power and doesn’t accelerate as it should. There is a powertrain and censor error that shows due to the Che k engine light being on. I had the issue fixed once at a ford dealer however the issue was not resolved. It started up again 48 hours later.I have noticed that all other ford fusions have the same two issues and were included in the recalls but the 2019’s are not ? Please assist I have been trying to have these issues resolved for years with no success.

The vehicle experienced engine failure due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders on the engine. I've experienced engine misfires, rough running, check engine light, and I'm worried I'm going to see an eventual engine failure requiring engine replacement. The BIGGEST issue is I've had total loss of power in my engine while on a public road more than once, before the check engine light ever came on. Its terrifying. It is dangerous. And Ford is aware it is dangerous. Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 for certain affected vehicles due to this exact issue, but my vehicle is past the warranty so it's SOL. The failure appears to be caused by a defect in the engine design allowing coolant to enter the combustion chamber. This is clearly a widespread defect as Ford had to create their limited warranty for it. This is something that needs to be recalled for all affected vehicles experiencing coolant intrusion and engine failure because it is not safe to be on the road.

My 2019 Ford Fusion 2.0L EcoBoost (89,000 miles) experienced a sudden, severe engine malfunction due to a known manufacturing defect. The vehicle exhibited severe engine shuddering and a harsh cold-start misfire upon ignition. A diagnostic scan revealed trouble codes P0316 (Misfire on Startup), P0302 (Cylinder 2 Misfire), and P0304 (Cylinder 4 Misfire). A mechanic verified that these codes are the result of internal coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders, exactly as documented in Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 19-2346. The structural design flaw in the engine block allows engine coolant to breach the cylinder head gasket area and pool inside the combustion chambers. This presents a critical safety hazard: the vehicle is at risk of sudden engine stalling while driving on public roads, a complete loss of motive power in traffic, and potential engine hydro-lock, which can cause catastrophic mechanical failure or an engine compartment fire. Ford is refusing to address this safety defect outside of warranty, leaving a hazardous vehicle on the road.

My 2019 Ford Fusion has been diagnosed with the prominent EcoBoost Coolant Intrusion defect requiring a newer 2020+ redesigned engine replacement. Ford is refusing to replace it or provide any discounts even though it's clearly a engineering defect. The vehicle has just 38,500 miles in 7 years of ownership. It has been regularly well maintained & not driven hard. This is inexcusable that Ford is not standing behind their product that has a plethora of well documented failures on these particular flawed design engines, namely the 2.0L EcoBoost that came in this vehicle.

The vehicle experienced engine failure due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders on a 1.5L EcoBoost engine. Symptoms included coolant loss, engine misfires, rough running, check engine light, and eventual engine failure requiring engine replacement. The problem has been confirmed by Ford and is consistent with the known coolant intrusion defect affecting many Ford 1.5L EcoBoost engines. Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 for certain affected vehicles due to this exact issue. The vehicle has approximately 76,000 miles and is under the mileage limit referenced in Ford’s program, but Ford denied full coverage and only offered partial financial assistance toward the repair. This issue creates a serious safety concern because the engine can lose power, misfire, overheat, or fail unexpectedly while driving. The failure appears to be caused by a defect in the engine design allowing coolant to enter the combustion chamber. I believe this is a widespread defect and should be covered for all affected vehicles experiencing coolant intrusion and engine failure.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2 in my 2.0L Ecoboost engine. This gives a rough engine start and a misfire code for cylinder #2 on cold starts. After warmup, the engine code is not active and misfire goes away when the coolant is burnt and sent through the exhaust. This also caused the car to overheat as the coolant was dropping to a low level. There was no indication of the low coolant level until the overheating.

I have a 2019 Ford Fusion hybrid titanium, and it is exhibiting issues of a recall that Ford has issued for my year making model. But not specifically for my Vin. The recall is for the A.P.I.M. module and is a software glitch that although leave the infotainment system with a black or blank screen or right after using the backup camera, the backup camera will stay on the screen for some time and it states on the recall that it is a safety concern due to being a distraction for the driver on top of that, it will not remember any device I pair to it via Bluetooth, it will not remember navigation presets or any destinations I previously routed to with the navigation system. Every time I turn my car on for some reason it starts the navigation system with the route to my parents address. Also sometimes the screen will be unresponsive and unusable untill next ignition cycle. It kills my 12v battery because the screen will stay on after vehicle is turned off. This happens every ignition cycle

This 2019 Ford Fusion (2.0L EcoBoost, 6F35 transmission) has had THREE identical flexplate/flywheel failures (GSAR code 6375), each diagnosed by a different Ford-authorized dealer. FAILURE 1 (Nov 2021, 51k mi): Lost power at highway speed on interstate. Coasted to stop, would not restart. Broken flexplate. Ford repaired under warranty, reimbursed all expenses. FAILURE 2 (May 2022, 59k mi): Would not start, starter whined. Same diagnosis - broken flexplate. Ford repaired under warranty, reimbursed all expenses. FAILURE 3 (Feb 2026, 133k mi): Broke down on busy road. Police responded with emergency lights until tow arrived. Same diagnosis - broken flexplate, free spinning. Ford REFUSES repair despite confirming Customer Satisfaction Program 22N12 applies to this vehicle. SAFETY: Each failure causes sudden complete loss of drivetrain function with no warning. Failure 1 was at highway speed. Failure 3 required police response on a busy thoroughfare. The manufacturer issued CSP 22N12 acknowledging this defect. A manufacturer rep confirmed on 3/20/2026 that the program applies to this vehicle, then refused coverage citing mileage. The flexplate part was revised (suffix D to E) between failures, indicating the manufacturer knew the original design was defective. Three dealers, three techs, identical diagnosis each time. Vehicle is at dealer, available for inspection.

Vehicle has a known Ford 2.0L EcoBoost coolant intrusion / head gasket defect per multiple complaints on different forums on recently googled searches. At approximately 126,000 miles, vehicle began losing coolant with no visible external leaks, producing white smoke on startup, rough idle/misfires, and check engine light. Vehicle also began overheating intermittently. Heating system stopped working, indicating coolant flow failure. Symptoms are consistent with internal coolant intrusion into cylinders due to head gasket failure, a widely reported defect in Ford EcoBoost engines. Issue presents a safety risk due to potential engine failure while driving, loss of power, and overheating. Vehicle requires major engine repair or replacement. This failure occurred despite regular maintenance and appears to be a premature engine defect, not wear and tear. I was recently at the dealership on December 8th with no other issues detected after they replaced a part on my car that failed that I had to pay for ( a P175B-00 ). This had nothing to do with what is going on currently, they ran tests at this dealership and did not detect anything as of December 8th. This was at a ford dealership. Tests were ran and inspected by manufacturer. Fast forward to a week ago I started having the above symptoms and this was diagnosed by family-friend auto mechanic. I have had multiple issues with this car. The transmission blew at 50 thousand miles, the sun roof leaked ( the seal for the sunroof was defective) into my prnd control shifter causing thousands of dollars in damage, a P175B-00, causing my car to not be able to park, causing chaos for weeks. I have only owned this car since December 2020. I still owe 7 thousand on this vehicle and I am at a complete loss. I really just want ford to take accountability for this make and model as it never fits the guidelines for recalls on anything. I want justice for myself and others with these multiple issues coming from ford cars.

Known issue with flex plate: rattle noise that gets progressively worse over time and especially when in colder weather, the cold start & when idling causes the rattle noise to be worse, over the past two years the rattle noise is still there but now with some vibration as well. In 2023, took in to ford dealership & told rattle noise was normal & not significant enough to replace (mentioned the Ford CSP notice of the issue), progressively over the last two years rattling has been getting worse (especially when idling), took it to different ford dealer and they confirmed it has been the flex plate (but now is outside of the CSP coverage). No engine warning lights were on, which is more concerning as the rattling and vibrations worsen over time. Was told that if not fixed the whole car could stop & break down, which poses a safety risk. Multiple other customer complaints about safety issues and concerns with this known issue of flex plates cracking that ford is not taking responsibility for as the CSP doesn’t cover vehicles over 10yrs old or over 100,000 miles— leaving drivers with unsafe vehicles with crack flex plates.

I am reporting a serious safety defect involving the transmission system of my Ford Fusion, specifically related to the valve body and torque converter. The malfunction of these components causes sudden, unpredictable surges or lunges in acceleration, even when the vehicle is being driven at steady speeds or when lightly applying the accelerator. The issue appears to stem from improper pressure regulation or fluid flow within the transmission valve body, which causes erratic shifting and delayed engagement. When this malfunction occurs, the torque converter can fail to properly manage torque transfer, resulting in sudden and forceful forward motion of the vehicle. While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly lurched forward aggressively, as if it had downshifted or received a surge of power without any change in throttle input. This caused the car to rapidly accelerate momentarily, nearly causing me to lose control. The unexpected forward thrust startled me and forced me to take immediate corrective action to maintain my lane and prevent a collision with a nearby vehicle. In another instance, while slowing down to a stop, the car lunged forward again instead of decelerating smoothly, nearly causing me to roll into an intersection. This created a dangerous situation for myself, my passengers, and surrounding traffic. This defect creates a significant risk of collision due to the vehicle’s unpredictable acceleration behavior. The driver cannot reliably control speed or anticipate when the car may suddenly surge forward. The issue compromises both vehicle stability and driver reaction time, particularly at higher speeds or in traffic. If this problem were to occur in a congested area, at a stoplight, or near pedestrians, it could result in a serious crash, injury, or fatality. The failure of the valve body and torque converter in the Ford Fusion represents a critical mechanical defect that directly impacts safe operation of the vehicle.

According to Auto Zone, after being placed on scanner, the power train system (P0456) has a evaporative emissions system leak (very small leak) diagnosed at 76,919miles. Ford dealership says they cannot find a problem. When I put gas in the car I have to sit and wait at least 10 minutes before my car will start again. It takes a couple of tries and much hesitation, but it will start. Once you get started it has difficulty accelerating or may slow down on its own. Again, Ford dealership reports they can't seem to find a problem. When I told them the problem, they came up with a price to charge me to fix something they could not find. Ridiculous!! My ford app clearly states check engine problem detected, but nooooo they cannot find anything wrong. Two different dealerships. Thank God I keep my paperwork because others are complaining of the same thing. They have to put the pen to the paper or we will never get a recall.

Check engine light was on and off intermittently for a few months starting in march of 2025. No immediate problem then, vehicle had 89 90k miles. In August. The vehicles coolant was leaking into the engine . Rendering a misfire in the cylinder and blowing the head gasket after mechanical diagnosis but not checked immediately due to symptoms not occurring till after a few weeks in August.Car not once over heated but then would not start. The car would then not go past a 40 mph without the transmission pushing very hard. After 3rd party mechanic diagnosis, I looked into potential recall on Fords website and in fact there was one but I was never notified of. So I contacted ford . The said yes, your car is under warranty, however after taking it in, they refused to repair the damages since the problem occurred 10k miles passed the mileage listed on the warranty for the repair. The car is unsafe and not drivable and the issue, which they knew would occur, did not happen till 10k miles passed Fords set parameters in which even if I took it in at that timeframe listed, the problem was not noticeable to be fixed. Very unsafe and unfair to the consumer.

Risk: An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Owners are advised not to plug in their block heater until the vehicle is remedied. Dealers will replace the block heater, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded blanking plug, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed December 3, 2025. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated September 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SA4.

Remedy: Owners are advised not to charge their vehicles until the remedy is completed. Dealers will replace the battery and update the BECM software for free, or Ford will repurchase the vehicle. If your vehicle is currently operating normally, Ford has authorized dealers to replace the fuse block and a software update as an interim repair before the availability of remedy parts for the final repair. This repair will be free of charge (parts and labor). As an alternative remedy, Ford is offering a vehicle refund. Please see Ford's owner notification letter or contact Ford for full details.
