2019 Ford Fusion Engine Problems

Your engine was destroyed because coolant entered the combustion chamber due to what appears to be a design flaw in your 2019 Ford Fusion. This caused internal engine damage that likely required engine replacement or major repair. The issue may involve a faulty gasket, head seal, or coolant passage design allowing coolant to leak into areas where it shouldn't be.

Your 2019 Fusion is losing coolant internally with no visible external leaks, producing white smoke on startup, rough idle, misfires, and an illuminated check engine light. Your heating system has stopped working and the engine is overheating intermittently—all signs pointing to a head gasket failure allowing coolant to enter the cylinders. This is a serious issue that could cause engine failure, loss of power, or overheating while driving and will require major engine repair or replacement.

Your engine has been losing coolant over several months, starting with low levels in October 2024. By June 2025, you experienced misfires in cylinder 3, which required spark plug replacement and later a cleaning kit, but the problem persisted. In October 2025, a Ford dealership discovered coolant was leaking directly into the engine, requiring a complete engine replacement—which Ford's warranty will not cover. This is a serious safety issue because low coolant levels could potentially cause engine overheating or fire.

Your car's coolant is leaking into cylinder 2 of the engine, which the dealer confirmed using pressure and visual inspection tests. This is a known issue that Ford has documented. The repair will likely involve removing the cylinder head to seal the leak and potentially replace the gasket or other sealing components.

Your car is leaking coolant directly into the engine cylinders, which is causing white smoke from the exhaust, rough idling, and failure to start. This is a known issue affecting multiple owners of this model year. The repair will likely involve replacing the cylinder head gasket or other internal engine sealing components to stop the coolant leak.

Your 2019 Ford Fusion has coolant leaking into the engine, which your Ford dealership confirmed during a diagnostic visit. This appears to be a known issue affecting Ford Fusion models. The repair will likely involve identifying the source of the coolant leak and replacing the affected seals, gaskets, or cooling system components.

Engine coolant intrusion in cylinders 2 and 3. This is a known issue with my particular build of car (4 cylinder 1.5L eco boost engine)

Coolant is intruding into the engine, with no sign of a leak. There was a TSB 22-2229 issued that my car falls under, but ford claims they are not at fault to pay for it. This was a manufacturing error, and was at no fault of my own. My car has less than 60k miles on it. A check engine light came on for cylinder 3 misfire. There was no warning signs that an engine failure was occurring. The car is not driveable as it could overheat at any moment.

The vehicle is having issues with not starting, white smoke coming from exhaust, multiple misfire issues, can not accelerate as car lags out in power. I had a mechanic do some diagnostic testing on it and he confirmed coolant is leaking down into the motor and the engine block is cracked. It currently is not drivable. Engine light started to come on and said it was the coil packs misfiring we changed them and it did not fix the issue. Put a brand new battery in as well and still won't start often. I have reported this to a law firm handling the case against Ford for this known issue. I have kids and do not feel safe putting them in this car as it is unreliable that could cause us serious injury.

Internal coolant leak into cylinder heads causing overheating and engine failure. dealer confirmed diagnosis in writing. this matches ford TSB 19-2346, but ford refuses coverage since over 100k miles. This creates a safety hazard; vehicle overheats suddenly and can stall while driving.

The vehicle had 115,000 miles and was diagnosed with an engine coolant leak which caused the need for the 1.5L Turbo EcoBoost engine to need to be replaced. However, my VIN for some reason unknown to me, was not included in the Engine Coolant Leak recall (21N12). I contacted Ford and was told I would be put in the Customer Satisfaction Program but only to find out the the representative I had spoken with gave me incorrect information and I was not able to be included in that Program. I’ve had to pay for about 2 years now a car payment on a car that has not ran and have been unable to get the car fixed. This needs to be addressed by Ford and taken care of and paid for by Ford in my opinion. I don’t know why my vehicle wasn’t included in this recall but clearly there were many more vehicles with this problem and a lot of customers are probably suffering as I am, still stuck paying for a vehicle that I cannot afford to get the engine replaced in. Shame on FORD!

Yesterday, [XXX], I was driving my vehicle on [XXX] in rural Kansas, to drop my mother off at the airport, and my [XXX] daughter was in the vehicle. My vehicle's temperature went directly to warning status, and I was no longer able to accelerate. I immediately put my hazards on and tried to make my way to the nearest exit to ensure we were in a safe position. Ford knows that coolant intrusion is possible in the engine block. While discussing with Ford today on the phone from 11:07 AM until 11:34 AM, and being escalated to a supervisor, they said that nothing could be done on their end, and advised to contact NHTSA. The safety of myself and others was at risk because of the faulty manufacturing of the engine and coolant system, which they report is part of a customer satisfaction program, but this is a major safety concern because, in the event it was not midday and there were more vehicles on the road, there could have been an accident. Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 One-time repair for vehicles included in 19B37 This is a known issue Ford recognizes through their customer satisfaction program. They are unwilling to assist, although in 2022, I was under the mileage specifications included in the customer satisfaction program.

Coolant leakage (no warning light/alert for driver) cause significant damage to engine block. Damage lead to cylinder misfiring and oil leakage. Oil leakage/check engine light occurred same day, prompting scheduling service at Ford dealership. Ford service center states short block needs replaced and car is not safe to drive. Upon research, this is a known issue for this make/model/year and has an open customer satisfaction program that covers the cost of repairs. However, both service center and Ford Customer Service state this vehicle's VIN number is not included in the repair program, despite acknowledging this is the same problem addressed in the repair program. Ford Customer Service recommended submitting this problem and the car's VIN to NHTSA for possible inclusion in the outstanding recall.

A check engine light came on and our mechanic ran diagnostics to find that there was antifreeze leaking. He said it could be the head gasket but we needed to take it to Ford dealership. We took it in and were told that it is indeed leaking coolant into cylinder due to a crack in the cylinder wall. I am the original owner and have kept up with all maintenance in the 6years I have owned the car. I was told that Fors is “aware” of these issues.

In 2020, I received a notice from Ford that my 2019 Ford Fusion had a Customer Satisfaction Program repair. I took the vehicle to an authorized Ford Dealer in April of 2020 to have the repair completed, which to my knowledge was completed by the service technicians at Ford. Today, my car broke down while I was traveling to work. I was able to get it to an authorized Ford service dealer and they informed me that my engine was going to need to be replaced due to coolant leaking into the engine. According to Ford, they are not willing to help with the cost of fixing the engine, since my mileage is past what is stated on the CSP notice, even though this was supposedly fixed 5 years ago, way before the mileage that was required and the car was still under warranty. Now, I'm stuck trying to figure out how to pay for a new engine, when Ford knew about this issue and is unwilling to help their customers even when they do the right thing.

coolant intrusion in engine with less than 7 years of life and under 84k miles. wont replace engine with the program because it didnt get the pcm update beforehand. Never got a letter for it and my vin doesnt say im apart of the program even though my car was build in the time frame and plant that they had this coolant intrusion issue.

Coolant intrusion that Ford knows happens with these cars even with maintenance now they want me to pay 10k to get a new Engine with an updated part.

Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engine. 2017-2019 Fusion. Also, in 2 other Ford and Lincoln models. I bought 2019 Fusion used and car has just under 69000 miles. Due to a known engine defect there can be coolant intrusion into a cylinder. In my case #2 cylinder. See TSB # 22-2229 from Ford. Check engine light came on. took to dealer and replaced 1 ign coil and 4 spark plugs. Thought issue resolved until check engine light came back on. Returned to dealer and advise that engine needed replacement. If continued to operate engine could lock-up while driving thus creating a safety for myself and others on the highway. Ford knows of this defect caused by their design of the block.

In 2023 I was experiencing engine issues. There was a check engine light that continued to come on signaling a cylinder misfire. I replaced the sparkplugs and coils however the issue persisted so I made an appointment to bring it to a Ford Dealership. The Ford dealership contacted me to advise that the issue I was experiencing is a known issue with the Ford Ecoboost motor where coolant ends up leaking into the cylinders causing a failure. This is a huge detriment to safety because I could have had a vehicle fire, or my car could have seized up on the highway while I was driving had I not gotten this to a dealership. I contacted Ford regarding the issue and their response was alarming. Since I was slightly over my warranty my vehicle was not covered for any repairs and they would not address the issue despite it being a known problem with these motors. I was stuck with a 7,000 dollar repair bill and "save your receipts and hope for the best" from Ford. Their negligence was alarming and after doing much research I have found that there still was not a recall issued and many people have experienced this issue.

This vehicle has a known issue by Ford. In Ford TSB 22-2229 it acknowledges "P0300, P0301-P0304,P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly." When explained, it states that this issue could cause reduced engine power which obviously be a very dangerous situation if the vehicle is traveling at highway/interstate speeds. The replacement of the long block engine assembly is a complete engine replacement that Ford is not assuming responsiblity for either from a safety or cost standpoint. We are regularly receiving these diagnostic codes now and a recent diagnosis from a Ford dealership confirmed the need for a long block engine assembly replacement which is extremely costly and right now is cost prohibitive, especially for a vehicle that is only 5 years old and has less than 100,000 miles on it.

The engine keeps cracking which leads to the coolant mixing with the oil. Eventually it causes the head gasket to blow.

I am second owner. At just before 110,000 miles the motor expirenced shuddering, with misfires, from P0303. I was able to get it to a Ford Service Center. Diagnosis with a borescope reveled coolant into cylinders 2and 3. Almost 8,000 dollars later, a new motor. In my Opinion, the cost of the actual motor should be free, or at least less then 2,700. I do not think it's very fair for Ford to profit from their own defective design. Thanks.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder number 2 is beginning occur on my 2.0l ecoboost engine. I know this because I am getting misfire codes for cylinder 2, losing coolant in the reservoir that I have to replenish, and seeing white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Ford acknowledged that this engine has a design flaw that allows for coolant to enter the cylinders over time and gave the solution of replacing the long block, as stated in Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229. With the 2.0 engine suffering from the same design flaw that the 1.5l ecoboost engine suffers from, Ford created a recall for the 1.5l engine to replace the long block, as stated in the Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12. Since this sets a precedent that this flaw needs to be recalled and replaced by a newly designed long block, it should mean that all engines that suffer from the same design flaw should be recalled and fixed. If not fixed, it is reported that over time, the coolant intrusion can cause engine failures and misfires and eventually can trigger a full-blown fire of the engine. With this information, it seems prudent that Ford extend the recall for coolant intrusion to include the 2.0l ecoboost engine and other engines that suffer from this design flaw.

Once there I was informed by the advisor the car was in recall and they would provide me with a loaner until repairs were done. I drove the loaner for two weeks only to be called by the advisor and informed that my car would not qualify for repairs and he needed the loaner back right away because he was possibly in trouble. I had a conversation about why, what etc but no good news. I returned the loaner and took my car home where it has been because I don’t have $7000.00 for a new motor.

I have 69,400 miles on my car. Last week, out of no where, the engine started shaking and clicking very loud. The repair shop said the flex plate is cracked and it’s a common issue with Ford. I went to the dealership and they even said it happens all the time. This is nearly a $2000 job. Why isn’t there a recall?!

A few months ago, I began to notice that my engine would shake a little upon startup but would stop and run normally after a few seconds. This wouldn't happen every time I started my vehicle so I didn't pay much attention to it until my check engine light eventually came on one day after startup. I brought my car to an auto parts shop to have the OBII read and it came up as a misfire in cylinder 4. I contacted my Ford dealer and made an appointment for the following day. Upon taking my car to the dealer, they informed me that my car is leaking coolant into cylinder 4 and that is why it was misfiring. They told me that this was an issue that Ford was aware of but did not have a fix for, aside from replacing the engine. I was told that I could take the car home while they reached out to Ford to see if they were willing to cooperate in taking care of the cost of repair, that the car was safe to drive and was only burning off a tiny bit of coolant when starting. A few weeks went by and one day I was stopped in traffic when my car got another warning on the dash that my engine oil was over temperature. When I was finally able to pull off the road safely, I opened my hood and found that my coolant reservoir was completely empty.

2019 Ford Fusion Titanium coolant infusion into cylinder #2. I Took the car to the dealer because the coolant reservoir was always low. I always had to add coolant in a weekly bases but I never notice any leaks. The dealer told me that since there was no check engine lights on it was something normal. I continued to add coolant every now and then. About six(6) months later, the engine stopped. My father came to help and after checking my car told me there was coolant mixing with the motor oil. He asked me if there was a check engine light on or if the car heated up at any moment. No, my car never heated up and there was never a check light on. He towed the car to Tropical Ford, Orlando Fl. The Ford dealer told me I need a new engine and the repair was gonna be $6,261.00 We researched the problem and found the 2014 - 2019 Ford Fusion vehicles equipped with 1.5L or 2.0L Ecoboost engines came with a defect in the engine block and that is why coolant was intruding into the engine cylinders. We found that this is well known issue on this but Ford never told us about it. There are hundreds of complains about this same issue; Coolant infusion into the engine cylinders due to a factory bad block. The Ford Company corrected the factory issue by making a new engine block for the same engine but they refuse to accept responsibility that the original block is in fact, defected. My question to them was; Why would Ford make a new block for the same engine if there was never a factory problem with the original block? The answer is simple. There is a factory problem with the original block and ford knows/knew about it. https://www.carproblemzoo.com/ford/fusion/2019/engine-and-engine-cooling-problems.php https://www.newsom.law/ford-fusion-overheating-lawsuit.html
