Consumer Description
I purchased this 2019 Ford Mustang Ecoboost 2.3L brand new in July 2019. It has been well maintained, regularly serviced by the authorized Ford Dealer where I purchase the car. It has never been in an accident, and has only 36,100 miles. This vehicle passed inspection last month. The check engine light came on, and then had rough cold starts. I have been informed by the service station that antifreeze is leaking into the engine, and a new engine is required (estimated cost of $11,000). After researching this matter, it appears that there is a design flaw with this vehicle, given the high number of similar occurrences with 2015-2019 Ford ecoboost vehicles. It is my understanding there is even a class action lawsuit related to this issue. Luckily, there was no accident resultant from this engine malfunction in my case, but the NHTSA should investigate this issue, given the high risk it poses to highway safety!
