Consumer Description

Engine service lights on and overheated. Replaced fan clutch, but same issue a week later. Repair shop stated coolant leaked into cylinder, needs engine replaced. I see online that others have had the same issue with 2017 Ford Escapes. I checked with Ford, they said to reach out to you for financial assistance as a safety issue since it is a known issue. Also seen a Ford technical bulletin 19-2139 dated November 21, 2019 for the issue.
