I usually use an automatic starter to start my car so I did not notice when starting the car that it was shaking for a good 30 seconds after starting the engine until one day I got in my car and started it normally the whole car shook for about 30 seconds then stopped and the check engine light came on. I was on my way to dinner driving on the parkway and my engine started to over heat and I could not accelerate. I pulled over and googled what to do when your dashboard says "engine coolant over temperature" , So I rolled down all the windows and blasted the heat. After ten minutes when the engine cooled off I tried to acclerate slowly and the car would not accelerate. I had to leave my car on the side of the road to let it cool down for hours, I went back to get it two hours later. Thankfully driving slowly I made it off the parkway and managed to get the car to a local shop. They informed me that the coolant had leaked into the engine causing the engine to fail and it needed to be replaced. I began looking into it and found that there was a recall on all 2014-2018 ford fusions for that exact issue. I called the dealership, and they of course tried to make it seem like it was my issue and I needed to have it towed over so they can look at it. The dealership has been absolutely no help for a faulty engine, If I didn't do research and look into the current lawsuit against the company they would have made me pay for the brand new engine $7000+. They are fixing the engine for no

The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one week later the engine light came on and I took the car to the local mechanic.. The mechanic said cylinder 1 was again misfiring.

The dealership informed me that the engine coolant was empty and that the engine needed to be replaced and cited the TSB. Research showed that Ford Motors has known of this problem affecting the 2.0L EcoBoost engine for many years but has not taken steps to discontinue manufacture of the type of engine affected and continued to use it in other models and year vehicles.

Engine failure as described in TSB 22-2229, confirmed by local Ford dealer (Bill Brown Ford in Livonia, MI). This issue is not a normal wear & tear issue, it is a combination of Design & Manufacturing flaw (known by Ford) however Ford Warranty will not provide me with any financial assistance for the repair. An engine should never have the wall between the piston cavity and cooling cavity break down ever. This issue should be under a recall.

The steering wheel has become loose and unstable. And was told my vehicle wasn’t on the recall list for the same problem as the other vehicles.

The transmission jumps, doesn’t want to shift gears, revs up on its own. The recall for the fusions year models 3013-16 is the same thing my car is doing.

Android Auto is incredibly unresponsive to user input. Using a Moto G Power cell phone (~2 years old...no performance issues when not using Android Auto), the screen lags for 5-10 seconds between inputs, requiring the user to make many attempts to press the cars Ford Sync 3 Infotainment screen. This is forces the user to take their eyes off the road for way longer than is safe. The quality of Google and Android Auto is considerably worse than Ford's native Sync 3 system...frankly Android Auto is dangerous. Tried this with multiple cables, and even other phones, and in other Ford vehicles and it is just as unresponsive. I don't understand how something so unregulated (Android Auto) is permitted to be used natively in vehicles. I believe car infotainment systems are supposed to be using "Realtime OS's", and I highly doubt Android Auto is doing this.
