Consumer Description

This is ongoing issue that Ford is aware of, has been addresses by previous recall related to thermostat sensor. However this does not fix the issue that the car over heats loses all coolant automatically shuts down when driving. This car has been been serviced beginning in 2019 to now with the same problem. Yes all receipts, mileage diagnosis etc have been maintained. I have had hoses replaced 3 times am now on the 4th time (Just 6 weeks later). Car overheated on I294 tristate had to be towed 30 miles December 2022. Currently have my 2nd open case with FORD as they know the ECO boost is a major cause and are facing several class action lawsuits they disregard the fact that someone will be killed by their irresponsible disregard of the known problem. Well into the thousands to address a bandaid and not fix the root cause of the engine/hose/coolant overheating problems
