jcartwright99 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I bought an extended warranty just for this on my Fusion. 94k (roughly 10k left on warranty) and still running strong. Just changed the plugs, flushed coolant, and cleaned throttle bottle. Runs like a top. Hopefully, it will keep running till I get whatever 2023 model I order.

ddakoske Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We also had coolant intrusion. 2017 Escape Titanium AWD 2.0L ecoboost with 90k miles at the time. ESP payed for itself that time. New long block. Dealer had vehicle for about 5 weeks if I recall although Christmas was included in there in their defense. Loaner was provided for about half of it. They didn’t have any loaners when we first dropped it off. Lots of white smoke upon start-up after sitting. Rough idle on most start-ups and some days while driving. Mis-fire engine codes. We were told new design block was installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited March 6, 2022 by Escapism photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Its been more or less common knowledge that Ford has engineering goals of no major failures on the engine before 150K miles. The average distance driven by someone a year is about 14K miles-so the engine should last 10+ years before a major failure. I don't see an issue with that and saying getting 150K out of an engine before a major end item failure. I'm sure you can get more, but sometimes shit happens.

Dang, I got 225,000 miles out of a 1985 Bronco ll and sold it still running. It had a main seal leak and needed a new short block, but still ran well. It was a Cologne built V6. Sold my 15 year old Taurus V6 still running like new with no drop off in fuel mileage. New engines at 75,000 miles is very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2L Ecoboost engine was something new and shit happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they ever will use one of my AZ plans again. If things fail, need to be sure it ends up being fixed. And no BS run around from the dealer or zone office.

But it does...what about the transmission issues Honda has had or countless other problems other car makes have had with design issue with something? I can make a list of different issues over the years that other makers have had...it just seems like that when it happens to a domestic car maker and that customer moves on to another make an has an issue, they can't admit that it is happening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, CRV for a few years was having big time engine issues starting with 2018 MY. Hearing about more issues with Subaru engines. RAV 4 fuel tank issues and my wife's 2010 RAV4 had 18 recalls. So go figure why Ford is always singled out and other auto brands seemingly ignored and/or forgiven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd refill and change the cap. See how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 Any updates on this? My 2017 escape 2.0 has this same issue. I’m still under 60k miles but over the 5 year on the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. Dealer is telling me my extended warranty wont cover the engine replacement which is $8k. Are there any other actions I can take? This is now two ford’s in a row that have had major issues before or around 70k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford's NA motors are rock solid reliable for the most part, it sounds like Ecoboost just isn't working out for your specific needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a written warranty, I would read it myself in lieu of taking the dealer’s word that it’s not covered; and if language is too difficult to understand, I’d seek help, even if it means seeing an attorney.

After the engine on my 2018 Escape was replaced under warranty, due to coolant intrusion, I purchased a Ford extended warranty, just for additional peace of mind. Below is the exact language of what is covered under the PremiumCare version that I bought. What does your paperwork say? HRG This appears to be the latest TSB, issued in June 2022, after the 2021 cut-off date. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214126-0001.pdf Edited February 2, 2024 by HotRunrGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor recently inherited a low-mileage like-new Escape that I wanted to buy, but I passed solely due to 2L EcoBoost. Reading T-dubz’ post reinforces that I was probably justified for my needs. I don’t mind taking some risks, but idea of $8k or having to replace a turbo that I don’t need in the first place is enough for me to avoid all turbo engines, not just Ford. I’d rather pay a little extra on gas monthly, or make do with less power. We may be the exception, but wonder if a significant number of buyers avoid turbo engines for fear of repair costs (whether justified or not doesn’t matter — just wonder if it affects sales).
