Problem not resolved with Customer Satisfaction Program 19B37, which was known cause of coolant intrusion, instead only delayed issue by putting a bandaid on it with reprogramming of the Powertrain Control Module. Advised not to drive vehicle for possible engine fire or worse.

Replacement of all swollen lug nuts. And was told the replacement lug nuts would go bad again, wasn’t offered a safer or better choice for my 2017 escape. This is a sad day for Ford. A family generation of Ford owners. I was told my escape is not safe to drive until this is corrected. Ford manufacturers you can do better very unprofessionally. Sad.

The car would not get into gear without warning. The car would not produce power when I would press the gas. Then, moments later, without warning, the engine would rev without input, however, the car would not accelerate. I had to pull over and the turn the car off multiple times. I ended up getting a warning light indicating to service the transmission, but when I turned the car off, the warning light would go away, but continue to not get into gear and then jerk, especially at low speed. i ended up taking to the car to a mechanic and got an error code indicating that the car could not get into 5th gear. I was told that the vehicle needed transmission fluid change, which I did. I then drove for about 200 miles without issues. Then suddenly while driving at about 70mph, I the service transmission light came on. i pulled the vehicle over and turned off the car. About 20 minutes later, I again started driving at highway speed for about 5 miles, and the service transmission light did not show and I had no additional issues. I then parked the car over night and then started to drive to the highway. Approximately 5 minutes of driving at highway speed the car would no accelerate when I pressed the accelerator, and i attempted to accelerate the car, but the vehicle would not rev the engine nor provide power, I had no warning lights. When this happened, the car started to decelerate as if the car was in neutral. I ended up having to get the car towed and serviced. i am currently awaiting the results of what is wrong with the car.

Ford dealership verified that check engine light coded P0304, engine misfire due to coolant intrusion caused by crack in cylinder. This is a known and well-documented problem with 2.0 L EcoBoost Escapes and Lincoln vehicles that use same engine (MKZ/MKC). VIN # of this particular vehicle matches those known to have the problematic engines. Ford is clearly aware, having released multiple Technical Service Bulletins on this subject of Engine/Coolant issue.

On August 13, while driving in stop-and-go traffic I noticed the car was handling funny. It was hesitating when I pushed the gas causing me to accelerate in an unpredictable way in traffic. That weekend I took the car to my mechanic who told me that he couldn’t replicate the issue but if I had the issue again to bring the car back. There were also no error codes so any issue couldn’t be diagnosed. On August 30 while driving home, I attempted to accelerate at an intersection (across 6 lanes of traffic) and the car would rev but not exceed 25 miles per hour. I literally limped into my mechanics shop but once again there were no error codes. However it was clear that something was completely wrong with the car. The car was towed to a transmission shop who inspected it and told me I needed a full transmission rebuild. They also couldn’t explain why the car wasn’t displaying any error codes. In the end I was without my car for 2 weeks, paid over $4,000 for the job, and had to borrow cars just to get to my teaching job. My car is well maintained. It is only four years old but has 100,000 miles – obviously past the warranty. However, I have never had a transmission fail on me. This is also the first time I’ve ever purchased a Ford.

I have a 2017 Ford Escape EcoBoost 2.0L vehicle. We had engine issue with coolant disappearing and engine misses at idle and Excelleration. We took it a local Ford dealer and they diagnosed coolant in cylinders 2 & 3. They informed us the engine could not be repaired and said we needed a new engine and turbo, so we had the replacement done. I later found out this issue has plagued Ford since 2013 and they still sold it to me. The repair cost me $7800.00. See attached recall information I found on the 1.5L EcoBoost engine they are doing but nothing so far on my 2.0L. This is nitpicking. It was very hard coming up with that money when it should have been recalled. This was the only car we have. Please help!!! I have also notified the Bureau of Automotive Repair of California of the issue and they said to also file a complaint with your department. Thanks for any help you can provide.

My car has just reached 60,000+ miles and it began to jerk, as if shifting gears and decelerate while driving, and has even come to a complete stop while driving. This has happened while in motion on the freeway and main streets, posing a risk to both myself and my child to cause an accident. When taken to the dealer, they did not see a problem after running many diagnostic tests, and offered to "reset" my vehicle for almost 200 dollars. This posed a great risk, as it came back again to a complete stop on the Main Street again while my family was in the car. Once this reset was done, it showed a "transmission fault". However, this should have been caught before and how is a transmission at fault at 60,000 miles with excellent maintenance? This incident would occur whether it was 35 mph to 70 mph

Engine started out running roughly a couple days later it overheated the car gave me a notice to pull over safely I turned the car off the oil looks milky , It only has 71,000 miles on it

Engine light kept coming on. Eventually stopped in traffic and went into limp mode. Took it to the local Ford dealer and they said it was a coolant leak into the engine and that they've seen it before and that it would cost $8,000 to replace the engine. We were able to get an independent mechanic to replace the faulty engine with a pre-owned engine with 11,329 miles for $5,000.

A couple of months the "check engine" light turned on. After three appointments, two diagnosis and almost $1,000 down the drain I was told that the coolant is leaking into the engine’s cylinders which is being caused, according to a Ford authorized dealer service department, by an engine design issue that has been apparently ignored by Ford for many years. I contacted Ford directly and they simply talked to me about "offering financial options to cover the cost" which ascend to almost $9,000, for a 5-year old car with less than 50K miles. They stated that this isn't covered by any warranty, that it's impossible to extend the warranty, and that there's no recall despite the many indications that this is a known issue. I found further information about this exact issue on: https://www.motorbiscuit.com/overheat-fail-fire-big-ford-ecoboost-class-action-lawsuit/ https://www.classaction.org/news/newer-ford-lincoln-vehicles-plagued-by-ecoboost-engine-defect-linked-to-coolant-leaks-class-action-says http://www.fordproblems.com/ecoboost-fires/ https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2020/ford-ecoboost-problems-class-action-lawsuit.shtml

The coolant leaks into the spark plugs creating miss fire cylinder “3”

I made a left at the light onto 1100 Town East Blvd and a truck side swipe on the passengers side in the back . The other person failed to stop to exchange information. The glass part of my tail light has been busted.

Check engine light came on at 60,240 miles with a cylinder 2 misfire code. Took it to the dealer and they said it has coolent in cylinder number 2. It is no longer safe to drive the car. The car needs a new engine. Tbs 20-2100, they have a technical service bulletin that stats this is a common problem. They want $9,200 new engine block.

The car was overheating so I brought it to the dealership to have it looked at. I was informed that there was coolant leaking into one of the engine cylinders causing the car to overheat with the possibility of it even catching on fire.

Upon parking the vehicle in my driveway, the vehicle would not turn off after turning off he ignition and removing the key. All the dash lights were on as the would be normally and the engine remained running. Tired everything including in and out of gear, driving, turned key on and off several times, tired both keys. Googled and seen there had been similar issues with earlier models that resulted in a recall, but this is a 2017. Found some online suggestions and after an hour figured out where the fuel pump fuse was and removed it and the engine stopped. The dash still stayed lit up and had a warning to get engine serviced. Put key in ignition and turned to run not start position and vehicle cranked and tried to start. Could not get dash console to power down or look the doors, the horn would beep twice every time I tried to lock the doors. Ended up disconnecting the battery to kill the power to everything. Plan to take it to Ford today if I can get it started again.

My 2017 Ford Escape began letting water inside of the tail light assembly, eventually filling up to the point that it shorted the brake light. When I went to replace the bulb, I found out that it is not replaceable unless you replace the ENTIRE tail light assembly, a $750 fix. Ford refuses to fix this for free, as they deem condensation not a reason. Upon doing research, it’s come to my attention 1,000s of people have had this exact same problem. The tail light assembly, the seam on top of the assembly has faulted. Not only did Ford produce a faulty product, they produced a light that costs $600 to replace. This is highway robbery, not to mention unsafe since the brake light does not function.

I had left my home about 4 arrived at mall 4:30 all was great a usual day. I push button start my suv out of nowhere all these panel warnings appeared. Engine sign, hill assistance not available, air conditioner stop working, 4 wheel Fault, etc.,Pictures below

I was driving along, approaching an intersection, and suddenly my car had no gears! The rpm's went sky high when I pressed on the gas but I had no drive. Thankfully I was able to coast to a turning lane and into a parking lot without incident. There had been no warning lights or funny noises and this was completely unexpected and could have caused an accident! I had to call a tow truck and the ford dealer that I took it to is now telling me the transmission needs replaced and that this is a common problem with this vehicle! And this is only 4 months after they replaced the engine that was bad! Shame on ford for not recalling this vehicle!

Purchased 2017 Ford Escape SUV preowned with 56,948 miles. Decided on the 2.0 engine due to the many issues with the 1.6 engine. Drove for seven months and only 6,000 miles. Engine light came on, immediately took the car to an auto mechanic who performed a diagnostic test. The engine was mixing antifreeze in the oil which will lead to a catastrophe engine failure creating a dangerous safety incident. The mechanic informed us that the Ford Escapes have been having ongoing issues with the engines and is currently in a recall program and recommended we take it to a local Ford Dealer. The Ford dealer diagnosis matched the auto mechanic, acknowledged the antifreeze was mixing and recommended they replace the engine. They also acknowledged Ford was doing a recall to replace engines for a similar problem but not on the vehicle with our VIN number. I'm a first-time car buyer who spent $21K on a car, drove it for 6,000 miles, there’s clearly a defect in the engine, the Ford dealership quoted a $8,500 engine replacement but said their hands are tied since our VIN is not on the recall list. Car is sitting at the dealership as we sort through this mess.

The problem with my 2017 Ford Escape began in June 2021 (mileage 65652) when the engine warning light came on and there was white exhaust smoke. Our local mechanic tried various actions to determine why the engine light was on, such as performing a GDI treatment for carbon buildup, but over the summer months none of his actions were successful but each action was an incurred expense. By August 30, 2021, a new warning appeared “High Engine Temp. Stop Safely”. At this point our mechanic found a Technical Service Bulletin regarding the 2017 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost engine coolant in cylinders and my car was towed to our local Ford dealership in Prince Frederick, MD. The Ford dealership verified our concern as follows: “Tech Notes: Verified Concern, Check Engine Light Missfire Code Cylinder #3. Remove Plug, Coolant Fouled. Coolant Intrusion. Ford Assisting Customer on Repair. CAS-33032232-M8C9Z8. Remove and Replace Long Block Assembly. Test Drive After Repair. Concern Corrected.

My car is losing water and the 2.0 ecoboost has a habit of catching fire. Mine is still driveable but very dangerous. The car has 125000 miles in it and is 4 years old and Ford has basically told me tough luck. The dealer verified the problem which is a very common issue with the 2.0 ecoboost.

In January 2021 it began with the check engine light coming on. The #2 spark plug and ignition coil were replaced by local mechanic. About a month later the check engine light came on again. Again there was an issue with the #2 spark plug. It was fixed. Another few weeks goes by and the light comes on again. I take it in and the check engine light goes off just before I drive it there. We decide to wait for it to come on again. Each time I got the sense from my mechanic that this was slightly unusual. June 2, 2021 on a cool evening, I notice the heater isn’t working. The next day the check engine light comes on. On June 5th I get a warning light that says my vehicle is overheating and to pull over to a safe spot. My kids and I pull over to a parking lot and I have to have it towed to my mechanic. Today, June 11th, the mechanic finally has a chance to look at it and discovers that coolant is leaking into the engine. He uses a borescope to show me the coolant in the engine. He then pulls technical service bulletin 19-2346 which indicates that the exact symptoms my vehicle is having has been know since at least December 2019! The result is that I need a new engine. It has just over 100,000 miles on it. The vehicle isn’t even paid for and I have to replace the engine! Other than the check engine light, there were no warnings that the coolant was low. When the check engine light came on, I did occasionally have white smoke and it chugged when running like there was a blockage. Why on an issue as serious and as expensive as this has Ford Not issued a recall of this engine? If I get it replaced, will the engine installed have been re-engineered to have fixed the problem? If the company has known about this issue for this long, I should have been notified of the potential problem.

On May 30, I received the Engine Service Light that remained on constantly. I contacted Ford chat since I was 300 miles from home, determined it was safe to drive home since car ran fine with no vibration or gas smell. Took to dealer on June 1. Car only has about 53K miles. June 1: Dealer said a plug, wire, and distributer coil were bad, replaced it, but during test drive the car shook so badly, they recommended it not be driven and was not safe and should remain in shop. This may be an unnecessary repair costing $549 (attached), but only document received to date. June 2: Tech determined must be bad fuel injection system. Parts must be order. June 7: Injectors replaced. Car started and car shook so badly that the tech and dealer refused to even take it out of the shop and said it would be a danger to take out on the road. More troubleshooting would be needed since they did not know what the issue was. June 8: Still unsure, but believe a total engine replacement may be needed but until further consultation with other experts and troubleshooting occurs, they will not give me a diagnosis. They continue to assert that engine issue does make the car unsafe for highway use.

Misfire in cylinder 2 coolant going into cylinder # 2

At 19,500 miles, we stopped at a rest stop. Turned car back on 5 mins later, pulled out into traffic and the car would no longer go above 10-15 miles per hour. RPMs would shoot up, but car wouldn't go accelerate. Appeared to be "limp mode." Could still go into reverse. No warning lights on at this time. Stopped, turned car off and back on after a few minutes. No change. Eventually tried 'sport' mode just to see. At this point the car recognized an error, warnings came up and read "service transmission now." Towed car, mechanic read out error code P0984. Tech replaced valve body, filled transmission, and reset computer. At 21,250 miles, while in large amount of stop and go traffic between 45-10 MPH in left lane of interstate, car without warning again suddenly lost power and wouldn't go above 10-15 MPH and RPMs would shoot up with no acceleration. This time warning lights immediately lit up with "service transmission now" again. Had to maneuver across three lanes of traffic to pull over. Tried turning car on and back off several times. Could reverse, but could never get above 15 MPH. Towed car home. Three days later, go to drive car to mechanic and suddenly it was working normal again, no warning lights. Went to mechanic anyway, again read out P0984 error code. Mechanic did entire transmission replacement, stating he's seen this before and entire transmission replacement was only way to fix and guarantee this would stop happening. Completed work. Sold car at 23,000 miles.
