I am the original single owner of a 2019, paid-off, gas Fusion with less than 54,000 miles, a spotless maintenance record, and no accident history. The vehicle suffered a sudden, instantaneous total loss of motive power. The loss of electric power steering assist and loss of power brake assist while driving through a live intersection with no warning lights or prior engine shuddering nearly caused a severe, life-threatening, or even fatal collision.

I have an overheating problem in the engine, after visiting the dealership and repair shops it was brought to my attention that this was a constant problem with the eco-boost turbo system associated with certain ford models, I could smell a mixture of antifreeze, oil (smelling like rotten eggs) and white fumes coming from the exhaust pipe and also the air vents. This also causes the engine to overheat and triggers the check engine light.

It all started with a cylinder 3 misfire warning code, spark plugs replaced, coils replaced. Then a coolant leak. No obvious signs of a leak no cracked tubing no puddles. Just coolant leaking. Was informed I have a coolant leak intrusion and need a new engine block. I still owe $14k on this vehicle and am past my warranty. This repair is going to cost $12k. Researched and found out this is a problem for these vehicles that ford had an engineering problem with these engines.
