ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The oil pump failed due to the coolant intrusion into the engine, causing low pressure and sludge. My mechanical breakdown warranty inspected it and will not cover the replacement due to the sludge. The check engine light came on and off after I hit 70000 miles, and I was alerted to a recall when I got my last oil change in March of 2024, but the Ford dealership stated I had no warranty and no recall to address.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine has failed at 79k miles due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. The catalytic converter has also failed and needs to be replaced as a direct correlation. Yes it is available for inspection upon request in the near term, as it is currently at the Ford service center. The scope of the problems either match directly or are very similar to Ford's Technical Service Bulletin 22-2229 and/or 22-2134. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The check engine light indicator was only illuminated for 2-3 days before service. The severity of potential engine failure as well as loss of coolant could cause an engine fire that puts my family at significant risk and danger. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes confirmed by both and independent service center as well as a dealer. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A check engine warning lamp appeared briefly in late July 2024, for ~1 day, before no longer showing. The check engine reappeared for 2-3 days in mid November 2024, and was then immediately scheduled for inspection at my nearest service center.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine design is flawed and has a known coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Ford only issued a tsb for this and not recall. I’m the second owner so I have no way to remedy this now as the mileage is over what ford offers. Ford should be covering their bad design. At this point I’m stuck with it since it would cost me about the cost of what I paid for this vehicle.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The Ford Escapes are having issues with cylinder misfires. This is prevalent in model years from 2012 to 2019. This impacts engine power and possible engine failure. This has been reported to the local Ford Dealership. The service advisor even acknowledged that this is a common problem, and he then proceeded to check if this issue has an open recall. It does not. I had my mechanic replace: all coils, spark plugs, fuel injectors, camshaft sensor, and crankshaft sensor. This did not fix the problem. Yes, the check engine light comes on. I purchase vehicles from auction sites. On inspection reports for Ford Escapes, the majority of them have cylinder misfires as code P030_. This cannot be to lack of maintenance. This is an issue with Ford ENGINES.
