This should definitely fall under a recall. It's a design flaw in the engine and not the result of typical wear and tear by the customer. The company should be held responsible. It's disgusting that aren't being held responsible but instead forcing the customer to foot the bill. I'm a Ford guy but this is just unacceptable. Definitely making me change my mind on future purchases. Great video! Thank you

Yesterday we found out our 2019 Ford Escape Titanium with 2.0L EcoBoost Engine needs to be replaced. Our Escape had the engine light come on earlier this week at 49,701 miles. We immediately got it to Rowe Ford Westbrook and it was diagnosed with several misfires, all 4 cylinders had fluid in them, and the coolant tank was almost empty. Thank goodness this is warranted and that we have an awesome dealership that has ordered a new engine. We were given a brand new Ford F150 loaner until its fixed. Thank you for showing us exactly why our engine failed. The poor design of the engine block caused the head gasket to fail. They have since redesigned this. We hope Ford has learned their lesson and stepped up to the plate with a recall. There are a lot of these engines still on the road and costing people thousands of dollars if not still under warranty.

@ranckie5055 3 месяца назад

You. like I, were lucky that you found out about that coolant intrusion issue just before your warranty expired. I have a 2017 Edge Titanium 2.0L Turbo and found out about my leak in October of 2020 at 48,051 miles, and Yankee Ford covered my new long block replacement at no cost to me and gave me a new 2020 Escape for a loaner. I learned in earlier research on that coolant issue that most of those whose warranty had expired ended up paying from $8k to $9K for new engines out of their own pockets. That clearly should have been a recall on the part of Ford. Shame on them!

@ranckie5055 Месяц назад

@karenleemclane5904 Another 300 miles on your Escape and you wouldn't have been so happy with Rowe Ford because they would have denied your claim. Your power train warranty expired at 50k.

2014 Fusion 2.0 ecoboost: noticed burning coolant smell and running slightly hot. Discovered coolant level was 1.5” below max. Then noticed some white smoke smells of coolant in exhaust when starting cold. Oil smells a little more gassy than I’ve ever noticed, but no signs of coolant in oil, no sign of oil in coolant. What can cause this? What can I do to confirm what the issue is? Is it safe to drive if I keep levels topped off? 143k miles.

It not necessarily the engineering. I was a master tech at Lincoln Mercury in the seventies and some genius Ford accountant/ cost cutter decide the drilled hole in the connecting rod on the 2.0 L engine could be eliminated saving a manufacturing operation and a few pennies per engine. Unfortunately that hole lined up with the crank journal oil hole and lubricated the cylinder/ piston skirt on every revolution. I lost count of how many scored piston skirts I saw. I had a pile of them after warranty repairs with " DRILLED" replacement rods and pistons.

I watched your videos on the maintenance and issues with 2013 Escape's 1.6L motors and 6 speed transmissions. I bought my FWD 2013 Escape new. I currently have 97000 miles on it and never really had any issues until recently with the transmission making a noise on hills after 2 second or third gear [might be the transfer clutch] and had no warning lights. I had the transmission serviced unfortunately for the first time [i was under the impression that it could not be serviced] at a local FORD dealer in hopes that it would fix the issue. They performed the service and also found that it needed a low fuel flow sensor after a computer scan. $850 dollars later I still have the noise. Yesterday I added 12 ounces of Lucas transmission fix, and the noise is better but haven't tried starting out on any hills yet. I have also been noticing that the coolant level seems to go down over time [weeks/months] and I add coolant to keep it filled. This is our second car now and it only gets driven on a couple of 20-mile short trips every week. I have learned a lot from your videos and probably could have done the transmission service myself. Oh well, too late now as they say. Thanks for providing me and others with all of this valuable information regarding this model year Escape. My question is should I just keep the Escape until it has some major failure to the motor or transmission or sell it now while it is still running and can get some value for it???????? Please advise and I value your opinion. Thanks Rich

What sucks is Ford didn't recall of these motors once the flaw was determined. Ford should make it right for all of these owners, or at least meet them halfway, or provide the engine custy pays for the labor.

@blue.5058 2 года назад

Ford has a reputation of not recalling a damn thing unless people are killed (re; Pinto). And even then they’ll rather go through the lawsuits as their been-counters determined that dealing with lawsuits from fatalities was more cost-effective than the cost of recalls. Dodge is no better- they outright screwed owners of RAM 1500s with the 4.7 OHC motor (which I owned at one point) which was a magnet for head gasket and electrolysis issues resulting in coolant intrusion and premature engine death. They (Daimler-Chrysler at the time) let the lawsuit drag out until Cerberus (the hedge fund group that bought out Chrysler), which resulted in all the class action lawsuits going poof. As a result, everyone with a bum engine was stuck with no recourse. I’ll keep my Crown Victoria Police Interceptor over any new Dodge or Ford product.

Our 2017 2.0 Escape failed 4 weeks ago @ 52K miles. It had a week left on the original power train warranty. Coolant in cylinder 4. Had a misfire on 4 at 40K, but only once. No issue found then. No white smoke. The failure was an instantaneous dead misfire while on the highway doing 70 mph. No light at low throttle, but light would illuminate with any medium acceleration. Ultimately it would only do 50 mph as I limped it back to the dealer. Ford replaced engine and it’s great now.

My 2014 Focus ST had about 187k miles when it suddenly started losing coolant summer of 2020. I had to fill it almost completely every other day. If I had known what the issue was for sure & that there was a definite fix, I would have loved to keep it. My main concern was paying for a new engine to just have it happen again. I'm fairly sure the dealership would've just put the exact same model as the one that went bad, & I'd have the same problem in the future. So I went from a car I loved that was paid off, to a new one. Settled for a simple naturally aspirated 6 cylinder in hopes of keeping any issues to minimal headaches.

Someone please answer this question I have - the 2.0 in our '18 MKC failed at 37K miles due to coolant intrusion, the dealer replaced the engine in MAY 2023 (assembled in March 2023), and this July, the REPLACEMENT ENGINE ALSO failed from coolant intrusion after ONLY 4,000 miles. The second replacement engine in it right now was manufactured this April and has the SAME exact block part number (J2GE 6006 AC) as the failed first replacement engine at 4,000 miles. The block part number on the original engine (assembled in December 2017) has the block part number HV 206 AA. Has Ford not solved the coolant intrusion problem despite "supposedly" redesigning the block starting around the 2020-ish model year?

@jamesnewhall 6 месяцев назад

It turns out that the 2017 have these issues of having the head seal leak into the engine and since the block is made of aluminum it would require a complete engine replacement. Don't bother about getting it from another distributer, it has to bought by Forde at $5,000 and the rest is labor. I had originally purchased new in 2017 and it was under warranty until the 60,000 miles. It is known that this is an issue and that there is no recall on it.

We bought a used Ford Edge Titanium with an Ecoboost 2.0 engine that had 74,000 miles on the clock. About a month after purchasing the vehicle it bagan lighting up the CEL. Codes were p0316 and p0304. Our local independent shop replaced the spark plugs with iridium plugs and cleared the CEL. Since then the CEL lit up again so they also replaced the ignition coil with a Standard brand unit on cylinder 04 and cleared the CEL. We are now getting CEL lighting up and the code is p0304. The CEL lights up a few days after I clear it and then stays off for another few days. The vehicle has also experienced minor coolant consumption with no coolant on the garage floor. Yesterday I made a 2 1/2 hour trip with a 1 hour stop in the middle and the coolant level went down 1/8th on 1 inch. Should I suspect carbon buildup or are we candidates for eventual engine replacement?
