Consumer Description

On June 25, 2024 my 2018 Ford Escape overheated. I had to get it towed. I noticed there was no coolant in the coolant receptacle under the hood. There was also no evidence of a coolant leak anywhere. On June 27, I brought it into a service station where a pressure test was performed and no leak was detected. I then brought it to a Ford dealership and explained the issue. It was then I learned about the eco boost engine and coolant leaking into the cylinders issue. The fix for this issue is to replace the engine or the long block assembly. I was quoted a price of $8500. to do this by the Ford dealership. My car has only 57,700 miles on it.
