ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Coolant leaking into the engine cylinders - it's a known problem with 1.5L and 2.0L Ecoboost Engines for Ford Escapes and other vehicles manufactured between 2013-2019, ours is a 2017. Ford was sued with a class action lawsuit for the 1.6L engines but no fix or recalls for the other engines experiencing the same problem. Please help! this is very dangerous as it can cause the engine to seize and no warning! More details here: Engines in their Ford vehicles overheat due to an internal coolant / antifreeze leak that allows coolant to enter into the cylinders of the engine. In many cases, the defect is alleged to have caused total engine failure and to require replacement of the engine block. While some consumers report the check engine light comes on to alert them to the issue, others state they got no warning. Similarly, some consumers note they saw blue or white smoke coming from their vehicles to alert them to the issue. Several observed that their vehicle misfired when coolant leaked into the cylinders. The most common vehicle PCM codes reported as associated with misfire related to the internal coolant leak are P0316 and P0302. Consumers additional report that the prevalence of the problem has caused replacement parts to be on backorder, causing significant increased wait times for vehicle repair. Ford previously recalled certain 2013 and 2014 Ford vehicles equipped with the 1.6L engine for a similar issue under recall campaigns 12V551 and 17V209. No such recall has been made, however, for vehicles with the 1.5L and 2.0L Ford Ecoboost engines presenting similar problems.

With no warning the suv over heated and I took it to pep boys to see what was happening. They simple told me that I needed to replace the entire engine. This isn’t fair because I didn’t even get a warning. This suv has other problems as well that Ford should have issued recalls for but there’s so many to list. I would just like my suv to be fixed as I’m a single mom trying to make it through this trying times and now I have no car to get work, take my children to school, or even the day to day things that we need like a grocery store trip. I don’t 6,000 to 9,000 to repair my truck and I can’t afford to lose it either as I’m still paying the note on it. Can you please help us, I’m only trying.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On 6/23/22 while driving in heavy stop and go traffic, the engine starting turning high rpm's. After about going 1/4 mile with this issue, the transmission failed. We were able to pull into a parking lot and out of traffic. The car displayed a transmission fault code on the display. Car has been well maintained, and at less than 82K miles, transmission has failed. We first started having an intermittent engine skip about 2 weeks ago. Our mechanic could not confirm the issue as there were no check engine lights or codes being displayed. We had the coil packs replaced at their recomendation, since this is another common complaint with the Escape. The transmission and engine issues seem to be common with this model, but Ford has not issued a recall. We are going to be out of pocket over $6k to repair a car with less than 82k miles.
