Consumer Description

My complaint is not about the recall; that is being repaired currently. My complaint is that the engine block on my 2017 Escape has failed at only 57,000 miles. The cost to repair is $10,000 including parts, labor, and tax. I did purchase an extended warranty; however it was for $100,000 miles or 5 years. An engine completely failing at 57,000 miles is a safety issue. I took great care of that car, did not put pressure on the engine, parked it in my garage, rotated the tires, got oil changes on schedule, etc. Ford should be embarrassed about this and issue a recall. I will never purchase a Ford again (which is sad because my dad worked for Ford his entire life). Thank you for your attention to this matter.
