There is coolant intrusion in cylinder 3. My engine needs to be replaced and it has 95,000 miles on it. Ford only covers it to 84,000 miles.

For the last few months, I’ve noticed that my vehicle’s brake mechanism hasn’t been stable, also audible /noises coming from brakes at time, vehicle has an EVAP leak, causing vehicle not to start after refilling with gas. Yesterday, 6/11, while traveling, there was a notice that said engine was overheated and to stop vehicle safely. I was on a restricted highway on a very slim shoulder, very traumatized, but after 3 hours successfully has vehicles towed to a repair shop. No work has started.

When I am driving my 2017 Ford Escape SE 2.0L Turbo EcoBoost, the engine seems to hesitate/skip when I am driving along at speeds from 25-55, once it accelerates from 55 to 70, the skipping doesn't seem to happen. It feels like the engine is skipping or gear shifting is skipping. This has been happening for a long time since it passed 60,000 miles and it's at approx. I was told by an independent mechanic that the transmission needs to be flushed, but flushing it wouldn't necessarily stop what's happening. I am now at 140,000, the car seems to still operate, and the engine light has never come on indicating an issue/malfunction. It's even had a part fixed in the transmission from a recall and the issue continues. However, recently I noticed when I am coasting down a hill and I tap my brakes to slow down and usually during this time braking triggers the hill assist function, the RPMS have been racing up to 3,000-4,000 RPMs and it usually won't go back down unless I press the gas to get it to shift gears. Usually this makes me have to accelerate instead of slowing down or keeping my speed at the legal speed limit on that road the hill is on. I was recently told that there is an engine block recall on 2017 Ford Escapes, and I am not sure if this could be the issue. But if it is, I would like to have my vehicle looked at by a Ford garage and have it replaced at no cost.

I purchased my Ford Escape SE eco boost 2017 new. and now the engine light came on and I had ford checked to see what was the issue. once diagnosis was done they told me I had to replace my engine for eleven thousand (insane ) my coolant was leaking into my cylinders and engine. I looked up this issue and found that there are thousand of people with this issue. Ford is aware of this yet will not recall these engines. hard working people like myself are stuck with a lemon for a car due to not being able to afford this new engine. how is this possible! I really pray for all of us who are going through this and not having any help from Ford. Please Please help.

There is a Ford Technical Service Bulletin (19-2208) that deals with a coolant intrusion into the engine through a cracked cylinder. My vehicle falls into the category of this particular issue. After multiple repairs to my vehicle due to my engine light coming on intermittently my car warning lights came on while I was driving down the interstate and had to pull over. I sat at the side of the road until I could get a tow truck to pick my vehicle and myself up. There has been no notification to owners about this issue because Ford is telling me that it's not a recall but a Technical Service Bulletin so I'm being told I have to pay $10,000 for a new engine. I have 73,000 miles on my 7 year old vehicle which I shouldn't have to buy a new engine. This is definitely a safety issue, I could have broken down at night, fortunately, I got off work 2 hours early so it was still light outside. I'm a [XXX] and this has been a very stressful time due to a manufacturing defect that is not of my making INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The headlights keep burning out, alternating from driver’s side to passenger’s side. The bulbs burn out about every three months but have burnt out in as little as 1 month (same bulbs). A search on the Internet shows numerous persons having the same problem with their Ford Escapes.

At 37,775 miles on Aug 23, 23; 1st check engine light. The cause was unclear, possibly an intermittent purge valve, which was replaced. The second check engine light was at 46,919 miles on Jul 03, 24; and that's when it was noted the coolant level had dropped a little bit. Excessive carbon was also seen in the #1 cylinder and the shop suspected a coolant leak. A pressure test was performed but the result was negative...so all the required and recommended maintenance was performed. The next day, the engine light came back on. On Jul 09, 24; the shop then performed an overnight coolant pressure test, and it showed that coolant was indeed leaking into the #1 and #2 cylinders. This could be a fire hazard and could also lead to a catastrophic engine failure. My autoshop (Accurate Automotive, in Yuma AZ) pointed out the Ford bulletin for my engine...a block defect, (Reference# 22-2229, issued Jun 09, 22) and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership in Yuma... which I did on Jul 10, 24. The service representative (Jesse) did not accept the finding of my shop and said Ford will perform their own assessment. No Ford recall has been issued for this defect. There should be, though. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

While driving on the expressway the check engine light came on and the car started to shake violently. The car doesn't accelerate right away. After inspection, the auto shop provided the following comments: Engine is burning coolant, upon arrival vehicle low 1 gallon of coolant no coolant leaks present. After adding coolant and starting up white smoke coming out of tail pipe smelling like burnt coolant. Codes present for check engine light P0300 random misfire detected P0302 cylinder 2 misfire detected P0316 misfire detected upon start up p0456 evap system lean p1456 unable to bleed fuel fuel tank P2196 02 sensor signal. Oxygen sensors needed due to coolant burning Purge valve needed Engine needed internal damage. After contacting Ford Corporate and a Ford Dealership it was determined that the car would not be under warranty (odometer is 59,225).

I had my car serviced with Ford 6/2024 for the replacement of a steering rack and pinion that cost $3,000. After repair, my check engine light came on. Ford capped all my fluids, but said they didn’t diagnose the check engine light because it would cost another $200 diagnostic fee. On 7/1/2024 I took my car to a local mechanic and he discovered I had no coolant fluid and a diagnostic test showed a misfire in Cylinder 1. He diagnosed this for free in a few minutes, while Ford refused and allowed me to drive back on the road in dangerous conditions. My coolant is leaking into cylinder 1. This is due to a manufacture defect in the open deck design of the engine block. My life was put at risk on the road driving with no coolant causing damage to my engine and reducing my car’s performance. Joes Auto shop confirmed my issue informing that I need a new engine costing around $8,000.

My vehicle is currently with a Ford Dealership and I was advised one of the cylinders is bad and the repair bill is $13,000.00. I have 55,000 miles on the vehicle. This appears based on my research this has been a common problem. Since the 60 months has passed, I am told I have no recourse to address this problem. Ford needs to honor any problems that happen before 60000 miles and not 5 years OR 60000 miles whichever comes first! In this society people work from home and don’t drive cars like they have in the past!

We purchased a vehicle from Tom Holzer ford in Farmington Hills, MI back in 2017. We just took the vehicle in for service and the repair shop stated we need a new motor because it is leaking coolant into cylinder number 1. They are able to see exhaust in the cooling system and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. There is a technical service bulletin and is a known issue for ford escapes. We need to have Ford cover the cost of the new motor and get it done immediately.

I have a 2017 Ford Escape 2.0 w/ a long engine block. Coolant is leaking into the cylinders causing misfires. Apparently this is a known condition, but Ford has only been addressing the 1.5 engines. It’s a slow, almost undetectable condition and a design flaw in the engine. The recall / extended service bulletin that NHTSA sent out doesn’t cover the 2.0 vehicles. But it is happening, and after talking w/ Ford Service Center today, they are refusing to assist w/ repairs. My car has just over 65,000 miles and I’ve kept up w/ maintenance. Ford needs to address this fundamental design flaw in this engine and assist, if not fully cover the cost of repairs. This is a life safety issue. Because this is a slow leak and almost undetectable, I never knew or was notified of the situation. If I had, I could have sought some sort of remedy. Now I’m looking at over $8700 in repairs. Please assist and advocate for myself and others in this situation. Thank you.

Mine was the 2017 2.0L 4-cylinder, with about 86,000 miles at time of incident. Code read as "P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire" Had a crack in Cylinder 3, allowing coolant and oil to get into the cylinder. I got my engine light code around 6 thousand miles before incident. When first addressing the issue, I took it in to dealer i bought it from (Fox Motors). According to their certified techs, the same problem was reported for the 1.5L engines and covered under recall(s), but not for the 2.0Ls. The fix for those cars was a whole new long block motor, approx $7,000. Throughout the next 6,000 miles, while trying to save up for said motor, the butt-end of Cylinder 3 blew out while on the road.

There is a known design flaw in 2013-2019 Ford EcoBoost engines where coolant leaks into the cylinders and causes the engine to overheat/fail. There are currently lawsuits pending about this issue but they are mostly focused on the 1.5L model; however, my 2017 2.0L model was just diagnosed with this issue at only 71,150 miles and the car is done. It needs a new engine and Ford has, as of yet, refused to issue a recall or make this right. All three versions of this engine have the same design flaw. I’m being told that my car is “too old” to meet any of Ford’s requirements for help, so I’m essentially being punished for using my car gently and because the issue did not manifest until after the warranty expired. This issue eventually causes a fire if the driver is not able to safely pull over when the engine begins overheating. Luckily, this did not happen in my case but the car is now undriveable.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR MISFIRED A LITTLE. HAD CAR CHECKED BY MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME THIS VEHICAL HAS HISTORY OF ENGINE COLLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDERS.
