Torque converter this is the 2 nd time 14 months apart that I need to replace the converter. It causes the car to not accelerate or stop driving with a warning.

The vehicle very briefly showed a high temp warning (as in, the indicator came on, and went off just as fast, the temp gauge on the instrument panel went to high, and immediately back to normal). Later, the vehicle showed a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and a runs rough condition. Diagnostics by a local repair shop as well as the dealership verified that this was due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder, and as a result, I now need to pay $7,100 for a new engine with no help or relief from Ford.

Service center diagnosed my check engine light ON resulting to coolant leaking into cylinder. Determined to be TSB 22-2229 and need to apply engine long block replacement for coolant intrusion.

2019 Ford Escape w/ 30,000 miles. Regularly maintained, no accidents, no previous owners. Engine coolant leak which resulted in the dealership stating we need a new engine for $13,500. Cylinders were filled with oil and car was not drivable. This is relevant to the ongoing class action lawsuit for EcoBoost engines. We are 3 weeks past our 5-year warranty and were told we are out of luck. Ford is not accepting any responsibility and won’t even provide a loaner vehicle considering we are 3 weeks past warranty. Should have gotten a Toyota.

Ford Escape coolant intrusion TSB. Car has been running rough, check engine light came on. Called dealership and didn't get a return call. Took it in next day and the light wasn't on.

This is basically what the extended warranty should cover." Steve Yun - VP of Operations,Decatur Auto Repair and Body Inc,301 Dekalb Industrial Way,Decatur, GA The vehicle is now with Ford FIve Star Dealership in Stone Mountain, Georgia and they are refusing to repair the vehicle because it is not covered by the extended warranty.
