NHTSA Complaint #11549669 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

* Engine coolant leaked into cylinders causing a complete engine failure. This is a known issue and Ford previously recalled the 1.5L version of the engine for the same problem but not the 2.0L. Parts are not available to inspect as the engine has been replaced. * We were fortunate to be at home in the driveway when it gave out but it could have been a problem at speed. * Ford acknowledged that the engine was ruined and that it is a common problem. To the point that they offered to give me a discount on the work, but it still cost me $6,000. * There was a warning light which came on in the driveway when the car started and white smoke poured out of the exhaust, no prior lights came on and the car was not driven.
