NHTSA Complaint #11555813 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

Since I purchased the vehicle second hand from a dealer, I've had a recurring check engine light that comes on a couple of times a month indicating a Cyclinder 1 misfire. I've replaced the spark plugs twice and the engine coils for almost $1000. Then, at 75,000 miles, Cylinder 4 caused a blinking engine light and that coil needed replacing for $5000. The cyclinder 1 misfire has remained and the Ford dealership has now taken a closer look and has diagnosed that coolant is leaking into the cylinders and it will require a full engine replacement to the tune of $8000+. The car has 80,000 miles and is 6 years old - there is no way I should need to replace the engine for this. Online (and apparently reported to you), there are countless indications of this issue and to date, Ford has refused to do anything to support their customers who have to shell out $8000 or more, or make the decision to cut their losses with their vehicles. I truly hope that the NHTSA will force them to make this right for the many many customers impacted.
