Consumer Description
Was driving home from work in the highway when all of a sudden my check engine not only comes on but is blinking meaning immediate issue and pull over. I went from 65MPH to all of sudden misfiring and having minimal acceleration power and having to pull over as safely as possible without hurting anyone. Once pulled over and now on the side of a busy highway during rush hour, my engine continue to vibrate and rumble before turning the car off. Got towed to the nearest mechanic who checked the engine light codes which were P300, P301, and P303, all of which are cylinder warning codes. After diagnosing and taking a deeper look he said my best bet was to find a new engine for replacement. He mentioned that the 1.5 Ecoboost Engine have a known problem of coolant leaking into the engine causing erosion and other problems beyond simple repair. After searching online I am definitely not the only that has had this happen. This has now been known by Ford with no plans of recall or fixing.
