Consumer Description

Total Engine Failure due to coolant leak into the 2.3L Ford motor. This is a KNOWN issue with the Ford motors and it is not covered. This eventual coolant leak makes the owner have to buy and replace the engine with one that has similar issues and costs $8300+. This is unacceptable and Ford needs to cover and address. Never had an engine do this to me before and it’s horrible. Please hold Ford accountable. Navy AD and with the shit down, this will be an expense I can not cover with 3 children, one in college. Was planning on keeping this car till the filter falls off… not anymore I guess.
