There is a leak coming from the water pump which is in the engine. It's on average a $1700 fix which is extremely expensive. From what I've been told by multiple mechanics is that it is a design defect the Ford did for that year. My mechanic said he's been fixing the same issue on Ford escape, Lincoln mkz, Lincoln Mks, and some Ford trucks that are 2013. My car is below 75,000 miles and this is typically a fix that doesn't occur until 120,000 miles. If this is a design defect than Ford should be paying for it not me. The car is not old nor does it have a high miles. This outrageous.
