Check Engine Light On problems of the 2019 Ford Escape

Coolant water intrusion into the cylinder block. Coolant intrusion due to manufacture default. Long block necessary to complete repair. Repair is not under warranty. Check engine light appeared. Obd warning code p303 suggested cylinder 3 misfire. Coolant level was noted to be low. Vehicle was then taken to the Ford dealership promply. After dealer inspection coolant water intrusion was found. If this problem was not diagnosed early it could've caused engine failure while driving.

Purchased vehicle in October of 2019, in February 2020 had engine light come on and the code p0496 which is a purge valve error and took to service and they stated that Ford had to have this happen twice, so on March 17, 2020, it happened again and was taken to service again and it was replaced. Almost 1 year later, on February 27,2021 the check engine light came on and was taken back to service on March 2 and was replaced again. No recalls on this vehicle , but there should be. This should have happened on a new vehicle nor should it continue to happen! it is now on its 3 rd purge valve!!!.

Bought this car as certified pre owned from a Ford dealer with 28k miles. Approx. 4 weeks after purchase the engine starts running rough and check engine light came on with an error code p0303 misfire. Took it to dealer and they diagnosed coolant in cylinder 3 with the fix being a new short block engine replacement. It was still under warranty but very frustrating this happened to a car with low miles. After doing research this is a very common problem with the Ford 1. 5 liter engine.

I bought my 2019 Ford Escape brand new in March of this year, it had little under 25 miles. As of November 11th I auto started my car- when I went to get in it was running funny and check engine light was blinking. Took it to dealership, on November 13th they call and tell me my engine is bad. This is unacceptable, my car has 11,647 miles on it & needs a new engine. Ford needs to do a recall on these Ford Escapes - I know 3 people now who have had the same issue. Very unacceptable for buying a brand new car.

The vehicle started running rough and missing at 75 mph with about 5000 miles on it. Check engine light came on, cruise control shut off. I took it to the dealership and they said I had 3 trouble codes but I don't know what the were. They reprogrammed something a gave me the car back a week later. Two weeks after that I started getting another check engine light with the code p0420. The local dealer says they can't fix it or honor my warranty because it's a us spec vehicle and I'm in europe. I have a brand new vehicle that I have to clear the code every other day. To make matters worst the small door that covers the odb port won't close correctly. I'm sure it wasn't designed to be opened every other day.
