2019 Ford Escape

My 2019 Ford Escape has had engine coolant leak into the #2 cylinder and has caused engine damage and I am being told that the engine needs to be replaced. I have questioned Ford and the dealership has confirmed this damage and I am being told that Ford will not assist in replacing the engine. The vehicle has 81100 miles and in looking at other complaints this is an ongoing issues with these vehicles over several years. I would like to have Ford pay to have the engine replaced as this should be a recall condition due to ongoing issues.

I have had this car for a year and a half and it only has 38000 miles on it. The check engine light has come on numerous times, and has been fixed 3 times. Yesterday I got an a,eat that it was overheating so I limped home and had it fixed again. There was no coolant in the engine and from the reviews I am reading apparently this is a known issue with this vehicle. This needs to be a recall by Ford! I’m going to have it fixed one more time then sell it as it’s not safe to drive! No excuse for such shoddy workmanship by Ford. I’ll stick to Honda or Toyota from here on out.

My check engine light came on in my 2019 Ford Escape Titanium Sport Utility 4D. I took it to the Ford Dealership to have it checked out. They informed me that the engine had coolant in it and that the entire engine would need replaced. They informed me that the car was not safe to drive, that it was out of coolant and could over heat and even potentially catch fire. They then informed me that there was already a technical service bulletin from Ford about this issue. This is a known issue for this car and Ford has not put out a safety recall. This could had significant potential to put myself and my children at risk.

The ERG or Purge Valve failed, causing a hole to be burned into my intake manifold, which caused my car not to be able to read my fuel properly which caused air and heat to build which caused my catalytic converter to melt. The danger is my car could’ve caught on fire, a check engine light came on and we went to AutoZone and they said the code read O2 censor, but nothing ever indicated ERG or Purge Valve. Ford of Dalton said he’s never seen one do this kind of damage.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. After refueling the vehicle, the contact had to depress the accelerator pedal to the floorboard then turn the key in the ignition until the vehicle started. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the EVAP failed, making it difficult to start the vehicle. The certified mechanic cleared the warning light. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

For the past few months I have been noticing a hot coolant smell from outside the vehicle. After investigating, I noticed the coolant level was low and there was residue on the valve cover. Afterwards, I refilled the coolant reservoir and continued driving for another week to make sure the coolant was leaking. Afterwards, I inspected the vehicle further to check for any external leaks and could not find any, but my reservoir was much lower when I check again. I then made an appointment with the dealership to see if they could find anything. They kept my vehicle for a day to run a pressure test, but oddly enough it passed the pressure test and they could not find any leaks. I only have 3000 miles left before the warranty expires and the service manager told me it would be fine to drive on our trip that we were getting ready to take. I did not take it on the trip because I was worried something catastrophic to the engine would happen. The dealership did not fix my problem at all. They just said it would be fine. I have to add about 1 quart of coolant every week to two weeks, which is definitely not “fine”. Ford has a service bulletin for my engine and they need replaced! They are intentionally trying to get away with not fixing the engine while it is still under warranty. There is even a class action lawsuit with this as well, as people are being scammed into paying for a whole new engine when it should have been paid for by Ford Mo Co. To add to this, mutiple vehicles were there for the same issue as mine, including new Broncos. There needs to be a recall in place!

Car has been acting up and making noises. (Engine rattles). Was driving and made a turn as I was speeding up, my car revved and then started sputtering like it was going to die. Was a 1/2 mile from home. Made it home and restarted car, it sounds like it is missing something and engine is still rattling super loud. Have 68000 miles on car, engine was replaced due to previous recall of coolant leaking into engine at 27000.

The failure mileage was approximately 65,900.
