2017 FORD ESCAPE Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle shuddered for a couple of seconds. The contact restarted the vehicle and the warning light was disappeared. The failure reoccurred a few days later. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure as a manufacturer defect coolant leak into the cylinder block. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,543.

IT STARTED OUR AS THE OCCASIONAL MISFIRE AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL MEINEKE WHERE THEY SAID 1 OF THE COILS (I BELIEVE COIL 2) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ALSO REPLACED ALL 4 PLUGS AT THAT TIME AS WELL. MAYBE A MONTH LATER IT STARTED MISFIRING AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT SHOWED THE SAME COIL AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THEY RECOMMEND I TAKE IT TO FORD FOR BETTER DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY TELL ME I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE FOR UPWARDS OF 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS... SEE PICTURES FOR FORDS DESCRIPTION.

2017 2.0 L ECOBOOST FORD ESCAPE HAD ROUGH IDLE AT START, STEADY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. DEFROST WAS NOT WORKING DURI G COL SNAP. CHECK OF RESERVOIR SHOWED FLUID LEVELS BELOW MINIMUM, HAD TO PULL INTO SERVICE TO GET FLUID LEVELS UP TO MINIMUM LEVELS. UPON TAKING CAR TO FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE CONCLUSION WAS FAILED ENGINNE DUE TO COOLANT INFILTRATION INN ENGINNE. WAITING ON ENGIN REPLACEMENT 3-4 MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNINGS. TRIED TO GET RESTARTED BUT UNABLE AND HAD TO PUSH OUT OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET. TOWED TO CORWIN FORD AND ENGINE WAS EVALUATED BY FORD SERVICE TECH VAN LAMONTHE. "SCAN=MANY CODES INTERNAL ENGINE NOISE. PERFORMED RELATIVE COMPRESSION = #2 CYLINDER HAS LOW COMPRESSION. NEEDS NEW ENGINE."

WHILE DRIVING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, AFTER I GOT GAS, THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING HOME, I GOT A "HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING, PULL OVER SAFELY" ALSO MY HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN, A TUNEUP WAS DONE AS WELL AS ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD RADIATOR COOLANT WAS LOW. AFTER A FEW DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, TOOK BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THAT THE COOLANT IS LEAKING BUT FROM DEEP INSIDE THE MOTOR AND WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND I WILL BE BETTER OFF TRYING TO TRADE IN MY CAR.. THIS IS A KNOWN DANGEROUS FORD ISSUE AND THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED SINCE I GOT IT 2 YEARS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT HAD A MANUFACTURER SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVICED AT LAKELAND FORD PARTS (1430 W MEMORIAL BLVD, LAKELAND, FL 33815). THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALER, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH AN ENGINE BLOCK FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO AND MY DOOR CLOSES BY ITSELF WHEN I'M TAKING THE GROCERIES OUT OF TRUNK

MY 2017 FORD ESCAPE 1.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE BEGAN TO SKIP AND LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AFTER FIRST BEING CRANKED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN SHELBY, NC. THEY SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4 AND THAT THE BLOCK WAS CRACKED CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER. QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $8600 TO REPLACE THE LONG BLOCK OR $5100 TO REPLACE THE SHORT BLOCK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HOPED TO SEE FORD DO A RECALL SOON ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS WAS THE FIFTH ONE THEY HAVE SEEN THAT IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. THEN I READ ON THE INTERNET WHERE THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH THESE SAME TYPE YEAR MODELS AND ENGINES. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 75681 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT WILL POSSIBLY GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF...

COOLANT LEAKING INTO ENGINE CYLINDER RESULTING IN LOST COOLANT AND OVERHEATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH CODE P0302. RECENTLY BOUGHT VEHICLE UNKNOWINGLY OF THIS ISSUE AND ARE NOW STUCK WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE FROM FORD ESCAPE OWNERS. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE

SPARK STUCK IN CYLINDER CREATING A MISFIRE CAUSING ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF CONTINUOUSLY

WHITE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST RUNS VERY ROUGH AND ANTIFREEZE LEAKS INTO FIRST CYLINDER. ONCE TORE DOWN VISIBLE DIVOT IN BLOCK THAT APPEARS TO BE MANUFACTURED THAT WAY. CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALMOST 6,000 OUT OF POCKET. WARRANTY PURCHASED WITH VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AGO WON'T COVER REPAIR

ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO FORD ISSUED A NOTIFICATION FOR A UPDATE THAT HELPED KEEP COOLANT FROM INTRUDING INTO THE ENGINE. A WEEK AGO MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL, FLASH WARNING LIGHTS, AND WOULD BARELY GET ME OFF THE ROAD. UPON HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THE ENGINE HAD BEEN DAMAGED FROM COOLANT IN THE ENGINE, THE EXACT ISSUE STATED IN THE NOTIFICATION RECEIVED A YEAR BEFORE. NOW THE DEALER STATES THE SHORT BLOCK MAY NEED REPLACED. WHY HAS FORD NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT COULD TURN DEADLY FOR SOMEONE ELSE? THIS ISSUE IS VERY POPULAR WITH THIS CAR.

4 YEAR OLD, 73,500 MILES, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR WAS BUCKING, STALLING, BUCKING, COULD HAVE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DROVE TO DEALER. GASKET LEAKED AND BLEW ENGINE. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED $8000.00

FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS, INTERMITTENTLY, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THEN THE HILL ASSIST LIGHT, THEN THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WOULD DISENGAGE, AND NOW THE PARKING BRAKE FAULT LIGHT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AS IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEY DON'T ALL FAULT AT THE SAME TIME. IT SEEMS EACH CONSECUTIVE DAY THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS GROWS. MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THAT NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE THROTTLE WILL BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN. TWICE TODAY IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM FILING THIS REPORT JUST IN CASE I GET INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE I CAN HAVE IT CHECKED BY A FORD DEALER.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ,SO WE TOOK IT TO SATELITE FORD DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM, WEEK LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WOODY ANDERSON FORD WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND NOW THEY SAY THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED! AFTER DOING SOME ON LINE RESEARCH ON LINE IT LOOKS AS IF FORD HAS A PROBLEM CHILD ON THEIR HANDS. THEY ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANNY IN 2014 -2018, THIS ESCAPE ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT NOW. WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN ONCE THE MFG. WARRANTY RUNS OUT ? ARE THERE ANY RECOURSE ACTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE. THE ESCAPE IS A GREAT CAR OVERALL ,WE OWN 2- 2017;S NOW. WE ARE NOW CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE OWN 2 THE SAME YEAR!

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS. THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THEN WENT BACK TO RUNNING NORMAL. I DROVE TO MY FORD DEALER AND LLEFT THE CAR FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND TOLD COOLANT HAD SEEPED INTO THE #1PISTON. THE REPAIR WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I DO ALL SERVICE AT FORD. THE CAR ONLY HAD 67K MILES. IT IS ONLY 4.5 YEARS OLD AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. FORD TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE FOR FORD AND THE READING I HAVE DONE SHOWS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. I AM ANGRY.

ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO AUTO-RESTART AFTER AUTO-STOPPING. WHEN WORKING PROPERLY, THE FEATURE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN STOPPED (LIKE AT RED LIGHT) AND THEN RESTARTS WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO START MOVING AGAIN. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART. SOMETIMES IT FAILS TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING, OTHER TIMES IT DISPLAYS A MESSAGE THAT SAYS 'SHIFT TO PARK TO RESTART ENGINE'. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY OR AT AN INTERSECTION, AS THE CAR WILL LITERALLY TURN OFF AND NEED TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK TO BE RESTARTED. TODAY IT DID THIS AT ALMOST EVERY INTERSECTION WE STOPPED AT. OUR BATTERY WAS RECENTLY REPLACED, ALTERNATOR AND CHARGING SYSTEM ALL CHECKED AND NO ISSUES. APPARENTLY THIS IS A RECOGNIZED ISSUE BY FORD, ALTHOUGH THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX...

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TELLING ME IT WAS OVERHEATING AS SOON AS I WOULD TURN IT ON IN THE MORNING(12+ HOURS AFTER NOT BEING DRIVEN) AND BEGAN SHAKING. I WOULD TURN OFF/ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT DROVE FINE. EVENTUALLY THE ISSUE BEGAN WHEN I WAS PHYSICALLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE, LEADING ME TO PULL OVER IN A NEIGHBORHOOD TO HAVE IT TOWED. FORD DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO MY CYLINDER HEADS(1.5L ENGINE). THEY QUOTED ME AN ESTIMATE OF $6K TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT YET MADE THE DECISION TO GO AHEAD WITH THE REPAIR AS I AM WEIGHING MY OPTIONS. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2.5 YEARS WITH ZERO ISSUES. BOUGHT AT AROUND 40K MILES AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT AROUND 82K.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RECEIVED CODE P0302 MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. REPLACED PLUGS AND COIL DIDN'T CORRECT PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TOP READING IT WAS RUNNING HOT. CALLED A TOW TRUCK FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AND DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. HAS 50,200 MILES ON IT. FORD DEALER SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT BUT I HAVE TO GET IT TO THEM. SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE JULY OF 2019. I FEEL LIKE FORD SHOULD GET IT TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOT PUT BANDAID ON IT.

BOUGHT CAR IN DECEMBER 2019. IN APRIL 2019, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WITH 35,000 MILES, AND WAS ADVISED COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO CYLINDER 3 AND 4. FORD REPLACED ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. DECEMBER 2020, WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH, AND CAR WOULD PERIODICALLY JERK/LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WITH 62,000 MILES, AND WAS ADVISED COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO CYLINDER 1. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FIRST ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 35000 MILES, AND THE SECOND REPLACMENT IS NEEDED AT 62000 MILES, LESS THAN 30000 MILE DIFFERENCE

AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF I COULD HEAR COOLANT RUNNING THROUGH THE ENGINE. TODAY I STARTED THE CAR TO LET IT WARM UP, WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND THE CAR WAS OFF. THE DASHBOARD WAS SAYING THAT THE CAR WAS OVER HEATING, CALLED AND HAD IT TOWED TO GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE WILL FORD COVER EXPENSES

THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND STARTED ROUGH. THE CODE FROM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A CYLINDER MISFIRE. AFTER FIXING THE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO WORK. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE VEHICLE RAN ROUGH AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND ROUGH IDLE. FOLLOWING THIS, THE ENGINE OVERHEATING INDICATOR CAME ON. THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR, AND NO SIGNS OF LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FORD GARAGE WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE VEHICLE NEEDS THE LONG BLOCK ENGINE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,042.

TONIGHT, 11/16/2020, MY ESCAPE STARTED TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE TACHOMETER WOULD GO UP AND DOWN BY AT LEAST 500 RPM WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER. THE DASHCAM I HAVE MOUNTED TURNED OFF. I TRIED MAKING IT HOME AND IT JUST DIED. LOST ALL LIGHTS. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE LEFT TURN LANE. WHILE DOING THIS, THE AUTO START SYSTEM TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISABLED. I TRIED TO START THE CAR MANUALLY, ABOUT FIVE OR SIX TIMES. IT FINALLY STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I TURNED OFF THE HVAC AUTO FEATURE, MY DASHCAM AND RADIO IN CASE IT WAS A VOLTAGE ISSUE. JUST ONE MORE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONIC PACKAGE IS FINICKY AND HORRIBLE. IT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE DEALER DO THE SERVICE BULLETIN...

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A CITY STREET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE TO CHECK THE CODE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE AND THAT I NEEDED REPLACE A SPARK PLUG. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC , I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY DUE TO OVERHEATING. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION I FOUND THAT MY COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH A GALLON OF COOLANT AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, WHICH WAS NOT NORMAL WITH MY VEHICLE ONLY BEING AT 60,000 MILES. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE...

VEHICLE KEEPS OVERHEATING. WE CONTINUE TO ADD COOLANT. WE'RE ABLE TO ONLY DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO OVERHEAT AGAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC FORD LINCOLN (8540 TYLER BLVD, MENTOR, OH 44060) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT NEEDED TO BE ILLUMINATED BEFORE ANY REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY REPLACED THE FRONT CYLINDER IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE SHORT BLOCK BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS THEN...

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 1 YEAR AGO WITH 52K MILES ON IT. LAST MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AT 62K MILES. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS CODE P0302, PISTON #2 COMPRESSION AT 90 PSI, ALL OTHERS PERFORMING AT 190 PSI. HE CONTACTED FORD WHO INFORMED HIM OF TSB PERTAINING TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE LIST OF PARTS REQUIRED FOR REPAIR IS 6 PAGES LONG AND MOST PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CONTACTED FORD TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR WHAT THEY KNOW IS EITHER A FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN OR FAULTY MANUFACTURING BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP. THEY DID OFFER TO SELL ME AN EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY WHICH WOULD NOT COVER THIS REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE A TICKING TIME BOMB.

FORD 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF A CYLINDER CRACKING AND COOLANT LEAKING IN. OVER 125 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THIS ISSUE IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD UNDER TSB 19-2028 BUT FORD DOES NOT ASSIST THE CAR OWNERS IN REPLACING THE ENGINE. THIS ENGINE CRACK OCCURS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE (50K-60K MILES) WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICULE AT A STATIONARY STATE. STARTED UP THE ENGINE, GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE AND PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER $7,000.00.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST WITH 113,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER TWO TRIPS TO A FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE OF NEW SPARK PLUGS AND 2 NEW IGNITION COILS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. AFTER DOING AN OVERNIGHT PRESSURE TEST, THEY DISCOVERED COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER WALLS OF THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WILL NOW NEED REPLACED! APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD ENGINES AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED LIKE THEY HAVE DONE TO OTHERS, BEFORE IT CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN IT FREEZES UP!

MY TRUCK GOT HOT AND HAD WATER AND NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THE WATER IS PASSING TO THE ENGINE PISTONS AND IT ONLY HAS 72 THOUSAND MILES AND I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR ARTICLES THAT SAY THEY ARE FORD ENGINE FAILURES

APROXIMATLY 3 WEEKS AGO A WARNING SIGNAL CAME UP SHOWING THAT I NEEDED TO GET TO A SAFE AREA AND STOP THE ENGINE, IT SHOWED THE TEMP WAS ALL THE WAY UP TO HOT. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND THEN ADDED SOME WATER IN THE RESOVOIR AND IT RAN OK FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS AND THEN IT DID IT AGAIN, SAME THING NO WATER IN RESOVOIR. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A LEAK, BUT THE MECHANIC THERE WAS DEFINITLY A LEAK. THEN I HAD SOMEONE ELSE CHECK IT AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS A CRACKED HEAD GASKET. HE THEN WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THERE IS ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE AND MODEL WITH IT OVERHEATING. I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT GETTING HOT, I KEEP A GALLON JUG OF WATER IN CAR AT ALL TIMES.

AUGUST 2020 I WAS TOLD MY RADIATOR HOSE CAME OFF. $500 TO PUT BACK ON, 3 DAYS LATER HAD TO REPLACE THE LAINSCOTT TURBO CYLENOID $1700, 2 DAYS LATER CRACKED FLEX PLATE, UNKNOWN AMOUNT $ DUE TO POWERTRAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE. 2 WEEKS LATER TOLD OIL IS LEAKING INTO VALVE COVERS. AS OF TODAY OCT. 3, 2020 FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS POWERTRAIN AWD MALFUNCTION COULD NOT GET AN APPT AT FORD UNTIL OCT 6. LAST SAT ENGINE FAILURE NO RADIATOR FLUID. THERE IS MAJOR MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS CAR DUE TO HURRICANE SALLY WE LOST A BRIDGE HERE I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE I10 IN MAJOR TRAFFIC AND I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY

ENGINE HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE CYLINDERS. HAD TO HAVE NEW SHORT BLOCK INSTALLED. CAR IS STILL IN THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. OVERHEATING ISSUES STILL OCCURRING. CAR HAS BEEN AT FORD DEALER FOR 5 WEEKS. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. OVERHEAT WARNING GOES OFF YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER FAST THEN ENGINE IS AT REDUCED POWER. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS 1.5 ENGINE

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND ENGINE MISS FIRING. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 57K MILES. I TOOK IT TO FLAMMER FORD IN SPRING HILL FL. TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK FROM THE TURBO THAT GOT INTO THE HARNESS. THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE $2,700 AND THE HARNESS WAS ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 1 MONTH TO OBTAIN THE PART AND REPAIR. FOR A SIMPLE $30 PART (THE TURBO SENSOR), THE REPAIR COST IS $2,700.00 AND OUT OF SERVICE FOR 1 MONTH! WHY IS THIS PART BACKORDERED? I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN FAILURE BY FORD. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE TURBO SENSOR PART REPLACED. I NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE WHOLE REPAIR BILL DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PART.

MY CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER , COOLANT LEVEL DROPPING. NO COOLANT ON GROUND THOUGH. CAR DID NOT OVERHEAT. HOWEVER I COULD SMELL THE BURNING ANTIFREEZE WHILE PARKED, IDLING AND WHILE DRIVING . FORD DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO ENGINE. THEN HAD ANOTHER TECHNICIAN TELL ME IT'S JUST A WATER PUMP LEAK. I CONTACTED LAWYER . AS SHOULD YOU. WE NEED TO START CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. THE PROBLEM IS COOLANT GETTING INTO ENGINE AND ALL THROUGH OIL. CONTACT BAD PRODUCTS LAW PLEASE ! I AM HOPING FORD WILL DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND NOT BAND AID REPAIR MY CAR. HOPEFULLY NO ONE HAS TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS ISSUE .

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON FREEWAY AND MY SUV STARTED MISFIRING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING THEN STAYED ON HAD CODE ENGINE MISFIRE DISCOVERED THERE WAS OIL IN THE SPARK PLUG WELL ON ALL FOUR CYLINDERS

THE CAR STALLS ON AN OCCASIONAL BASES AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER SITTING AT THE LIGHT FOR A BIT. TAKING THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE DOES NOT START THE CAR UP. I PURCHASED A MACHINE TO DETECT CODES AND NOTHING CAME UP.

COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDERS, WHICH CAUSES ENGINE TO START ROUGH FROM COLD START AS COOLANT IS IN SIDE OF THE CYLINDERS AS FUEL IS BEING INJECTED IN. AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED ONLY COURSE OF ACTION IS REPLACING OF LONG BLOCK. CAR WOULD STILL BE DRIVABLE, BUT COULD AT ANY POINT FREEZE UP AND COULD CAUSE MAJOR HARM TO DRIVER AND NEARBY VEHICLES. HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS AT BETWEEN 80K AND 86K MILES, NO HELP FROM FORD AS PAST WARRANTY.

ENGINE KEPT LOSING POWER AND BOGGING DOWN. TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE RADIATOR COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO THE CYLINDER HEADS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON THE NEW ENGINE AND MY VEHICLE "SHOULD" BE FIXED BY NEXT FRIDAY. *FINGERS CROSSED*. THIS APPARENTLY HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, ACCORDING TO SOME FORUMS, AND LAWSUITS ARE BEING PUT INTO PLACE BECAUSE OF THIS SERIOUS ISSUE WITH FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES, RANGING FROM THE YEAR 2013 TO 2019. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. PEOPLE CAN GET HURT FROM THIS..... ESPECIALLY IF NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

ON AUGUST 16, 2020, RED WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED WHILE I WAS DRIVING INDICATING CAR OVERHEATING, PULL OVER. THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY CLOSE TO A SPLIT EXIT. I PULLED OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. DID NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO A SAFER LOCATION, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. MY CAR WAS TOWED AND THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN STARTING. TOOK TO SHOP, DETERMINED ENGINE PROBLEM FORD WAS AWARE OF BUT HAD TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER TO BE "OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED". TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY FORD BUT NO RECALL. TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE, $7200 IN A VEHICLE LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FROM FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HUTCHESON FORD SALES (308 N OUTER RD, SAINT JAMES, MO 65559, (573) 265-7015) AND AN UNKNOWN SENSOR WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC PERFORMED AN AIR INDUCTION SERVICE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THE DTC CODES WERE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO HUTCHESON FORD WHERE THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

AT 68,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THE LONG BLOCK ENGINE ASSEMBLY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IDS CODES P0301 AND P0316 - MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-392-3673) BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST SINCE I AM PAST THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (#19-2346) OUT FOR THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT FORD DOES NOT INFORM THE CONSUMER OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS. I AM NOW FACED WITH SPENDING $6,000+ TO REPLACE THE LONG BLOCK ENGINE ASSEMBLY.

60000 MILE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY, VEHICLE WAS AT 51000 MILES MY CAR WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND LOOSING COOLANT WITH NO EXTERIOR LEAKS TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 6/1/2020 DIAGNOSIS: CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK, ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED NOT RETURNED TO ME UNTIL 7/7/2020 (OVER 1 MONTH LATER!)

RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AND WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY CLAIMING IT WAS A LOOSE FITTING AND THAT ALL COMPONENTS WERE CHECK AND IT WAS GOOD- WRONG I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND RECEIVED AN ALERT TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. THAT WAS FRIDAY 7/10 AFTER HOURS TOOK IT BACK WHEN THEY OPENED MONDAY 7/13 AND THEY TRIED GIVING IT BACK TO ME ON 7/29 AFTER IT WAS ' READY' BUT THE DRIVER HAD TO TURN AROUND BECAUSE THE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. IT'S NOW 8/7...

COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE. CAR WILL NOT OPERATE. OIL IS FROTHY/MILKY
