Ford fails to recognize the coolant leaking issue with the 1. 5l ecoboost engine. Did a patch job fix 2 years ago and failed to repair when technicians stated the engine needed repairs. There is coolant in the 4th cylinder of the engine for the second time in 2 years.
I noticed that my heat stopped working while idling. After doing some research, I checked the engine coolant levels and discovered my engine coolant was pretty low. I filled the coolant and the issue was fixed. A few days later; however, I noticed the issue again. Upon checking my coolant level again, I saw that the level had dropped again. I checked everywhere for leaks but saw none. I then brought my car to a mechanic who also checked for leaks. He told me there were no external leaks. The coolant was leaking into engine, a common problem they see with Ford vehicles. They told me it was not worth it to fix the problem, and that I was better off trading it in for a new car. I'm so upset because I took exceptional care of my vehicle and now need to car shop during a pandemic with poor credit due to pandemic circumstances. This is not right that the company will take no ownership over the issues and puts it on the customer to deal with the issues.
Purchased a new 2015 Escape have had it in the dealer multi times for turbo replacement and the heads replaced. Was smelling coolant in the car took it to the same dealer for repair. That was over 7 weeks ago. Fords will not approve the repair that was caused by the coolant leaking into the engine. I have a active powertrain and Ford esp warranty.
My 2015 Ford Escape: warning light �engine fault - service now� that would go away when I stopped/restarted the engine. This happened 2-3 times. Dealer service rep said it wasn't a problem unless the light remained on. The car ran well at all times. Two weeks later the light would come on every day, but disappear when restarting. I brought it to the dealer again (capital Ford 4222 oleander dr. Wilmington, nc) and diagnosis showed a coolant leak into engine cylinder #3. Dealer states that I need a new engine, but parts are on back order with no estimated delivery date. Preliminary estimate of repair is $9,242. 81. (this is app $2,000 less than the trade in value of the vehicle).
