1 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2020

My car began losing power , coolant level dropping. No coolant on ground though. Car did not overheat. However I could smell the burning antifreeze while parked, idling and while driving . Ford dealership originally told me they thought coolant was leaking into engine. Then had another technician tell me it's just a water pump leak. I contacted lawyer . As should you. We need to start class action law suit. The problem is coolant getting into engine and all through oil. Contact bad products law please ! I am hoping Ford will do the right thing here and not band aid repair my car. Hopefully no one has to be injured or die before they recall this issue .

2 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2019

Owner of 2017 Ford Escape and ongoing issues with high temperature engine indicator - low coolant level. Bought car new Feb 2018 and within one year and 8030 miles the car required service for this issue in April 2019. Repairs made to water pump and coolant bypass hose assembly. Now again in Dec 2019 with 14,444 miles, I have the same issue with coolant level below the minimum mark and high temp engine on dash gauge. Added coolant myself and schedule service for Dec 16 2019. The reservoir cap was fitted tightly and there was no indication of a leak when checking the floor of garage or anywhere under the hood. Obviously, there is a problem since the coolant is leaking out and causing high temp of engine which is not normal vehicle operating conditions for a vehicle with 14,444 miles to have this same issue recurring. Recap: 02/23/2019 miles 7009 serviced for vehicle checkup, oil change, tire rotation and multi-point inspection. 04/13/2019 miles 8030 serviced for high temp. Engine indicator and coolant level below minimum mark 12/16/2019 miles 14,444 high temp. Engine indicator and observed coolant level is below minimum mark on coolant reservoir. 12/17/2019 car is schedule for appt to inspect issue with coolant leaking.
