2017 Ford Escape

I was having to go to stl to see my sons in the NICU in Creve Couer, and when doing so anytime I got over 70 mph for maybe 5 minutes, it would pop up with "Transmission fault, service now." I have to pull over, turn the car off, sit for 30 minutes, then turn my car back on and stay under 65 the rest of the way home. As a mom of a [XXX] little girl and a mom of twin boys I don't have the money to have it repaired right now, but I wanted to let someone know what is going on with my vehicle.

I purchased my 2017 escape almost a year ago. It only has 73000 miles on it. Check engine light turned on. I took it into the mechanic and was told that my coolant was leaking and that I needed a new engine. From what I have read this can lead to the engine catching on fire or engine failure while driving. I was told by the mechanic that I can drive the vehicle because the light was not flashing but how am I to know how safe that truly is. I can not afford a new engine and it is my only vehicle so I will be driving it. I have also read that Ford is aware that this is a manufacture defect but no recall has been issue. Does someone have to get injured before this issue is dealt with? There are thousands of these vehicles on the road as ticking time bombs. Before someone loses a life this should be recalled

Restarting the engine would normally solve the issue. The diagnostic code indicated "P0302" as a Cylinder 2 misfire.

Vehicle started running rough and had no power while trying to get on to a highway or leave from a stop. When the "Check Engine" light cam on I took it for diagnosis and it had a misfire in 2 cylinders and losing excessive amounts of antifreeze without any leaks showing. It was later diagnosed as have a bad motor and that this year and model motor is know to have this problem. Ford even has a service bulletin on it.

I had a check engine code on the car #p0304. I took it to the dealer. They told me I need an new engine for 9000 dollars. They said it was coolant intrusion on the #4 cylinder. Now I've found out that there are thousands of 2.0 litre engines with the same problem. Sounds like a recall issue to me. My car only has 81000 miles on it and in great shape. Now it is basically worth nothing. Unless I come up with 9000 dollars to fix it. I have never had anything like this happen before. Please make them recall these engines. They built them badly.
