I CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR BELIEVING THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE, I ALSO REPLACED THE BELT WITH IT THINKING I MIGHT AS WELL. STILL BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR THINKING A NEW CAR WOULD BE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR MY FAMILY AND TO GO BACK AND FOURTH TO WORK WHICH HAS BEEN NOT THE CASE. I HAVE HAD OLD WAR HORSE TRUCKS WITH OVER 200K MILES RUN AND DRIVE BUT KNEW THEY WOULD NEED TO UPGRADED TO A NEWER FAMILY CAR. I REALLY DO NOT THINK FORD IS TAKING ACCOUNT FOR THE REAL ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING WITH THEIR NEW VEHICLES THEY ARE SELLING TO THE PUBLIC WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND WITH CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT JUST ISN'T RIGHT. BASIC MAINTENANCE IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT TO HAVE ALL OF THESE ISSUES JUST SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE.

Potential Consequences:
MY 2017 FORD FUSION SE IS EXPERIENCING A P0301 ENGINE CODE ALONG WITH MAJOR COOLANT LOSS. THE ERROR CODE RELATES TO AN ENGINE MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. THERE IS ALSO WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2018 AND HAS 69,000 MILE ON IT. UPON STARTING THE CAR IDLES VERY ROUGH FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN SMOOTHS OUT. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN VERY POOR AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING HIGH ENGINE TEMP ALERTS AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO BRANFORD FORD IN BRANFORD CT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 1 AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE COST TO REPLACE IS $5700.00!! THIS A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT NEEDS AND ENGINE REPLACEMENT?!? I DID A TON OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS JUST LIKE THIS, SOME IN WARRANTY AND SOME NOT. FORD DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE 1.5 LITER ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO BASICALLY I AM BEING TOLD I AM STUCK WITH THE BILL. I AM LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM FORD TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE CONSUMERS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN "ENOUGH" DOCUMENTATION TO WARRANT ACTION BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU , [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC
