My 2017 fusion just suffered a coolant intrusion at 72k miles and I need to get the engine replaced. This is a well known defect and ford issued a recall to address this a few years ago, which I had performed. Ford also issued a 7 year/84k warranty for those who had the recall maintenance performed.

How likely am I to be approved for goodwill coverage given that I’m 3 years outside the warranty window but still within the mileage limit, have a long service history with Ford, have bought 3 new Fords in the last 10 years, and Ford is currently facing a class action lawsuit over this exact issue?

So my 2017 just got the infamous coolant intrusion issue the other day and it doesn't look like I have any good options from here. The spark plugs are burnt into the sockets and unable to be removed, and my warranty is long expired. I can either pay >$5k for an engine block replacement or try and sell the car for whatever it's worth.

Any advice here is much appreciated, is it better to repair or sell?
