  1. What?? are you saying that is "not bad at all" to get 150k out of a Ford engine? Wow
  2. My 2017 2.0 failed around 26,000 miles. Engine was replaced and I now have 58,000 on the clock. Noticed my coolant is low. Uh-oh. Pictures of my current engine sticker as well.
  3. To answer your question, I don’t think you can just turn off the backup sensor. If you had the tow package you might be able to fool it. I have the tow package and when I plug in my trailer it disables the backup sensor.
  4. I believe the OP is asking about the backup sensor, not park assist.
  5. Are you sure? The 1.5 and the twin scroll 2.0 are open deck designs. These are the main culprits of coolant intrusion that has plagued folks, and the topic of this thread.
  6. OMG, you folks are so missing the point. You guys are all talking warranties and expectations. That is NOT the point. The point is a SYSTEMIC problem that is affecting a higher percentage of vehicles that is way outside the;norm. Engines failures at the 15,000 to 70,000 range is a serious and unprecedented issue in a 21st century engine. Come on folks. I don’t understand why people are defending a well publicized issue.
  7. Go ahead and flame me all you want. You sit there on your high horse and act like all of us have money coming out of our ears and we can just switch cars. Your missing my point. Ford has a history of not honoring their defects. I'm talking about consumer advocacy here. If I didn't come on here and start this thread and gripe, then who would? Your self-gratification of all things Ford just feeds the corporate giants mentality that they can do whatever they want and get away with it.
  8. And to top it off, reports are starting to come in about coolant intrusion with the 2020 three cylinders.
  9. Yep, it’s just a steady stream of folks that have this issue. Just go talk to any Ford dealer.
  10. That statement is pure crap. Ford is NOT covering many people out there that have coolant intrusion. They are just barely past the warranty and Ford is telling them to go pound sand. That is why their is a class action lawsuit. Get real man.
  11. Here’s a good explanation of Ford coolants and compatibility.
  12. Are you still sure you don’t want to join a class action lawsuit?

  14. Just wondering how many have had their engines replaced. Mine was replaced at 32,000 miles or so. The numbers are ticking up and dealers are short on supplies with vehicles backlogged on their lots. My service advisor told me they had replaced a couple dozen engines.

  15. Would love to put it behind me, but how do I know it won't happen again? Lots of Escapes are going in for coolant intrusion, and apparently so are other models with ecoboost engines. Its a huge issue.
