Andyg98 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Unfortunately, I fell victim to coolant intrusion on my 2016 2.0. The dealership is still waiting for the engine, 6 weeks after it was dropped off. My service advisor sent me a "parts and labor" pdf so I could see an estimate of what its gonna cost me. The "service engine assembly" part number is FP5Z-6006-AARM. It doesn't say "remanufactured" or "new". Can anyone tell me if this block is going to have the same coolant slit in the cylinder head, or will it have the weep holes? I definitely don't want to fork out $7500 just to have the same issue 2 years down the road. TIA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 That part # is a for remanufactured engine. See: https://www.theoemparts.com/oem-parts/ford-engine-fp5z6006aarm Supposedly, the engines being used for replacement are an improved design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcohenusa Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Sorry to hear about your engine. How many miles? I still have 3-1/2 years remaining on my Ford Protect plan on my 2018 2.0. I have low miles so maybe I will never see it in mine and will probably get rid if it at the end of the Ford Protect warranty.

TIA Ford extended the engine warranty on my 2017 1.5L EcoBoost to 84 months and the 2.0L has the same issues. So, you'd best check to see if your warranty was extended similarly. You should NOT be paying for a new engine, Ford should. It's their screw-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the car with pretty low mileage in 2019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) 2016 Fusion Titanium 2L ecoboost coolant intrusion at 102,000 miles. Not worth the cost of replacing engine. Known problem and Ford doesn't care about customers stuck with this paperweight. Edited November 13, 2023 by Abe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia and Hyundai have even worse failure rates and that's saying something since the 2.0 is up there. Lot's of people with loans on these cars too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybourbon Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Does anyone know if the 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0 ecoboost is susceptible to this coolant intrusion issue? Mine has 173k. Just picked it up and now I'm really regretting it. Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can input your VIN in the NHTSA website to see if it is/was subject to a recall here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls In addition, if your engine was one susceptible to coolant intrusion, it would have occurred before 173,000 miles. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but...Look at NHTSA going after Nissan with over 400K defective VC-Turbo engines that fail. Just this past week. They'll force a recall and it'll sink Nissan. But WHY didn't NHTSA go after Ford on these 1.5L and 2.0L EcoBoost engines? I have to assume that Ford paid them off and that's disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Nissan avoided any recalls on their terrifying CVT transmissions, no chance they will face a recall of those engines. Even if they did, it would take years to even begin to satisfy any claims in any real amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to assume that Ford paid them off and that's disgusting. NHTSA recalls are issued for safety issues only. The Nissan Variable Compression engine failure can be catastrophic, thus causing loss of vehicle control as well as oil being dropped on the roadway, causing a hazardous condition for other drivers. The coolant intrusion issue in Ford EB engines does not cause them to stop running. Hence, not a safety risk. What's "disgusting" here is you thinking that Ford paid off NHTSA officials. Ford had the most recalls of any auto manufacturer in 2022 and leads in that dubious distinction for the first half of 2023. If they were paying off NHTSA, do you think that would be the case? Educate yourself on what a NHTSA recall is: Quote A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ford's broke they can hardly pay their bills. I just don't see a recall or this or the floodgates would have to open to include Kia and Hyundai since they are the leaders in building terrible engines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had their share of recalls due to engine failures. Again, these are considered safety issues, which the coolant intrusion in Fords is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
