Consumer Description

The 2.0 Ecoboost has a known defect than can cause coolant to leak into the pistons causing total engine failure. This could cause an accident due to lack of power and or loss of power while driving or crossing roads or highways. I have spoke to Ford techs and the dealership. Ford has admitted this issue and have failed to provide any type of repair or recall. My current 2019 is not showing symptoms but they could arrive at any moment. This is worrisome, knowing an issue could arrive that would put my family and myself at risk
