Consumer Description

Warning light appeared on dashboard. Vehicle eventually had a very difficult time moving forward and would not go more than 5 mph uphill. Took vehicle to Ford dealer service center for diagnosis. The report from dealer states, "Verified concern, scanned for fault codes and found codes P01229, P0301 SN P00012. Pressure tested coolant system and found coolant intrusion into the cylinders. The technician advised to correct condition the long block would need to be replaced." (Attaching a copy of the report). Subsequent internet searches demonstrate that this is a known problem with Ford engines.
