I purchased my 2016 Fusion 1.5L EcoBoost in July 2019 with 30,000 miles. In August 2020, low coolant light went on. Antifreeze was extremely low but there were no apparent leaks. Added coolant. In September 2020, engine light went on. Our local mechanic said cylinder 3 was misfiring. We brought it to Ford dealer in October 2020 to be told there's coolant intrusion and needed engine replacement. Car was at 54,000 miles. The warranty I purchased with car covered full replacement. I thought it was a fluke. Fast forward to August 2023, with 42,000 on NEW engine, same exact situation. EXACT. Except this time warranty won't cover it because I have 96,000 total miles on car and my warranty expired 6,000 miles ago. Ford Corp won't help because I'm beyond the time and the 84,000 mileage limit they had with their customer service one-time replacement program that, unbeknownst to me, went out in June 2022.
So I've owned the car for 4 years and it now needs a 3rd engine for $8500 which is more than the resale value of the car. It's sitting in my driveway. Don't know what to do. And still have 10 months on my loan. So frustrating.
