I was driving my car home from work and my engine temperature light came on. The car lost all power and lost all coolant with no apparent leaks. We filled up the coolant twice and within minutes it had all disappeared.

My car was idling very rough at start, and was misfiring severely. No check engine lights were coming on. The problem would subside after driving for a couple of minutes, but if the car sat and was allowed to cool for any period of time, the problem would return. I immediately took it to a service center at which point the car the car would not start anymore. I went to start the car in the parking lot and it would turn over but never fire and start. After investigation the shop found the cylinder head had cracked and my spark plugs & cylinders were all full of coolant due to a leak. After minimal research I found this is a known issue of Ford ecoboost engines, and there was a nationwide recall in the uk due to this issue causing cars to combust into flames while driving. However, when I contacted Ford they told me there was no recall in effect for the same cars in the united states. My car is less than 5 years old and has a catastrophic engine failure that will require a complete rebuild, and could have caused a fire in the engine compartment if I did not immediately take it for service. The shop is building a quote for me that I will upload once available.

While driving the temperature was at the highest level without any warning from the sensors. I turned around and went home and let it sit for a few days. Car would not start. Towed it to the dealership and they said the coolant leaked into the cylinder head and I would need a new engine. I have read other accounts where car stalled or caught on fire. This has had more attention in the uk and Ford is doing something about it without issuing a recall but not doing here in the us.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Ford Fiesta. While driving, the vehicle was leaking coolant. The vehicle was taken to donley Ford-Lincoln of ashland (1641 claremont Ave, ashland, OH 44805, (419) 281-3673) and they repaired the hose that was leaking the coolant. Fifteen minutes after leaving the dealer, the temperature gauge illuminated again and the contact had to pull over from the highway. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer and they found a crack in the engine that caused the failure. The dealer stated that the only remedy was to install a new engine and the repair cost was quoted at $5,000. The vehicle's extended warranty expired at 100,000 miles. The failure mileage was 107,000.

According to the VIN search, my 2015 Ford Fiesta st 3fadp4gx5fm144615, is not included in safety recall 17s09. However, I am experiencing the exact same problem. The fluid level dropped unexpectedly in my car, causing severe overheating, requiring the car to be shut down. There are no leaks, and it is unclear where or how the coolant level dropped. There was no warning from the car computer. An engine running properly should not burn coolant. I am now being charged to have the coolant system examined, even though this sounds exactly like the recall and associated complaints.

Low coolant level came on (where did it go?) filled up coolant. Still low. Car wouldn't start. Towed to dealer and they said "found #1 cylinder has no compression. Removed spark plugs, wet with coolant. Bore scoped cylinder, found wet" they say I need new engine (with a $4800 quote). Why did coolant all of the sudden leak into engine without warning? car was in motion.

While driving on the expressway my car began smoking and began to overheat which caused a cracked cylinder head that sprayed oil all over the inside of my hood sparking a small fire under the hood. The computer began to shut the car down and displayed a warning message that stated sudden loss of oil pressure, please prepare to pull over safely. Just as I read that message the brakes started to lock and the steering became harder to turn as I tried to get off the next exit from the expressway. I reinjured my broken ankle in trying to keep stop and control the car. Once pulled over the car continued to smoke and no longer started. I filed a claim with my insurance and it was denied as they found the cause was due to recall mechanical or electrical breakdown still under powertrain warranty. I went online and found on the Ford motor company mediacenter website this recall notice date 3/29/17. My VIN # was not on this list but to the letter is what I experienced: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2013-15 Ford escape, Ford Fiesta st, Ford fusion and Ford transit connect 1. 6-liter gtdi vehicles for under-hood fire risk Ford is issuing a safety recall in north America for approximately 230,000 2014 Ford escape, 2014-15 Ford Fiesta st, 2013-14 Ford fusion and 2013-15 Ford transit connect vehicles equipped with 1. 6-liter gtdi engines. Ford's investigation of these vehicles has identified a risk of under-hood fires. In the affected vehicles, a lack of coolant circulation could cause an engine to overheat, resulting in a crack in the cylinder head. A cracked cylinder head can result in a pressurized oil leak. Oil that comes into contact with a hot engine surface increases the risk of a fire in the engine compartment. Ford is aware of 29 reports of fire associated with this issue in the united states and canada. No injuries have been reported.
