a 2023 Ford Escape. while driving at approximately 76 MPH, I observed a warning chime dinging, the power train warning light illuminated, and the low engine coolant message was displayed. I received a notification via the Ford Pass APP stating that "There was a failure with the vehicle and to see the dealer'. I contacted the dealer, and they stated they did not see any warnings. Anytime I exceeded a certain rate of speed it still does this. The first time it happened, it had less than 800 miles on it.

HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON 2 WEEKS AGO. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM AND INSPECTED CYLINDER BORES. DEALER ALSO CHANGED THE OIL AT THAT TIME. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY'VE HAD SINCE LAST FRIDAY AND NOW REPORT THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A REPLACEMENT ENGINE BLOCK. VEHICLE HAS 10,565 MILES AND IS JUST 13 MONTHS OLD. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER SIMILAR INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET.
