Consumer Description
Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. This car is 7 years old with 77k miles and needs a new long block due to defective design. Car started stuttering when started and check engine light first came on and I took it to my local mechanic who said the code was for an engine cylinder misfire. He noticed coolant was low and told me this is a common, massive design defect causing coolant intrusion into the engine cylinder and ruining the engine. Had it officially diagnosed by Ford ASAP and they want $9600 to replace their defective engine. Ford recalled the 1.5 ecoboost for this exact issue. Mine is a 2.0 turbo. Please force Ford to recall these vehicles. Someone will die if you don't and they do not care. Ford denied "customer loyalty assistance" and is now leaving me with a paperweight for a car. We need help from the nhtsa. Contact me if you need more information.
