Consumer Description

ENGINE SHOWED HOT AND WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE WITHIN A MILE, TOOK TO FORD THE NEXT DAY THEY RESET COMPUTER AND ADDED A LITTLE FLUID. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE COOLANT LEVEL ON MY TRIP TOTAL TO BE AROUND 1200 MILES. CAR NEEDED COOLANT ADDED ALONG THE WAY BUT DID OKAY ON THE HIGHWAY. ON MY WAY BACK ABOUT 150 MILES INTO MY TRIP THE ENGINE TEMP WENT UP FOR A SEC THEN BACK DOWN SO I PULLED OVER WITHIN A MILE BY THIS TIME YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE COOL FOR A WHILE I TRIED ADDING COOLANT AND IT POURED OUT THE BOTTOM OF ENGINE. FORD TELLS ME IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A CRACKED BLOCK THAT IS BECOMING A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS.
