The 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6 EcoBoost faces issues like high oil consumption and overheating. It's advisable to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles, change the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, and replace standard spark plugs every 100,000 miles, while copper spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles. Engine problems like loose gaskets, detached spark plugs, and oil leaks are common. Engine overheating is a critical issue that can lead to fires and explosions. Additionally, excessive oil use may necessitate more frequent oil changes.
Take off the hood, install a heavy-duty shop fan directly above the engine, and set it to the highest speed to maintain the engine's cool temperature. This way, you can enjoy your ice cream without the dashboard vents circulating hot air from the engine and causing it to melt.
In 2012, Ford announced a recall for their 1.6 L EcoBoost engines due to issues of overheating, with some instances of the engines catching fire being reported.
