Only issue I can say that I've noted is there have been several newer ones through the shop needing flywheels replaced, and this has been on AWD models. Have also see rear shock mounts needing replacement on a few too, though that hasn't been an overwhelming issue; I think it really subsided after pothole season passed.I drove a company owned Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost SE model. New car 2014 model - I put 77k on it before retiring and a buddy continued on the job with it until they “retired” the Ford at 112k. Lots of power, but you have to refrain from stomping on the go fast peddle as the mileage really dropped.
No major engine problems - mindful of the speeding issue you will be ok. It was my second new Fusion and both were built in Hermosillo Mexico - very good build quality and it got a lot of attention as it was a sharp looking ride. ✔
DO YOU KNOW IF THE LEAKING CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED ON THE 2.0 ECOBOOST?Read my comment on another post. I work at a dealership and have not heard of this issue. It may be regional due to certain conditions, or that we've not seen it or heard of it, a complete anomaly to us. I'm just thankful that the engine offered as base or optional isn't the 1.5L. If I remember Monday, I'm going to check as see if any dealers in the area even stock the manifold, this could say something.
Well, from what I’ve researched on this exact problem, Ford has changed the 2.0 block starting for the 2020 models. Hopefully this will correct the coolant intrusion problem with some of the twin scroll versions of the 2.0 made from 2015~2019. I currently own a 2017 Escape , 77,500km, with the twin scroll 2.0 and as of yesterday, my Ford dealer confirmed that I need a new long block, due to coolant intrusion into #2cylinder. Luckily I still have my factory PT warranty that ends next month, so Ford is eating the $9000 cost to replace it. Yeah, this is way too close to my warranty ending, way too close.DO YOU KNOW IF THE LEAKING CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED ON THE 2.0 ECOBOOST?
Sorry for the delay.... Been tied up quite a bit. As some have indicated, they have supposedly more recently corrected the problem. Initially when I restarted working at a Ford dealership I had only really seen 1.5L engines, but knew there had been a couple 2.0L, too. More recently, there's been a number more of them; but while the 1.5L has been consistent, the 2.0L seems to go in little spurts. BTW, it's not the gasket, it's the block. In the 1.5L, you receive a new short block; in the 2.0L you receive a new long block.DO YOU KNOW IF THE LEAKING CYLINDER HEAD GASKET ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED ON THE 2.0 ECOBOOST?
