2017 Ford Escape

On June 15th I took my car to AllStar Ford in Palestine Texas because my check engine came on flashing and I started my car it was running rough and having trouble accelerating. I was called later that day and told I needed 1 new spark plug. I told them to replace all of them and they also did a tune-up. I picked my car up on June 21st and it seemed to be fine. The next morning my check engine light was flashing again. I took it back and was later told there was a cracked spark plug. Skip to July 14th and my check engine light was back on. I took it back to the dealership. On July 20th they called to tell me there was a leak in my coolant reservoir and they found coolant intrusion in cylinders. Now I'm being told I have to replace my engine. There has been a recall on 2014 to 2019 Ford EcoBoost because of the very same issue. For some reason my car was not part of that. I have researched this issue and found a lot of owners having the same problem and being told the cost is on them. There are also class action lawsuits in California for this problem. Had I know these cars had this severe problem I would have purchased something different. My car could over heat and blow the motor and even catch on fire. I owe less on my car than what it will cost to fix and that doesn't guarantee it won't happen again.

Engine failure. Check engine light came on and then went back off a day later. Took it to multiple places to get it checked out. They all told me it was a faulty engine and Ford knows about it. My car really started smoking. Took it to a Ford dealer ship and the even tried to get me some help. The are now denying to fix my car so I took it somewhere else. I'm just glad my engine didn't catch fire. Ford didn't seem to care. In the last 3 month I have paid 16,000 dollars to get it fixed.

Transmission started having trouble shifting gears at 68,000 miles. Took it to Greenwood Ford and they acted like it know what I was talking about. Then I took it to B & B Tires in Bowling Green and had their mechanic do the 60,000 - 75,000 mile recommended replacement of transmission fluid and he told me that the torque converter is failing. He also said this a common problem. After some research, I realized that Ford know this. They redesigned the torque converter in the years since 2017. Why is there not a recall on their transmissions? I called Ford customer service and they know it is a problem but don't care. Many of the testimonies I read online said that they didn't even get a warning light until the transmission failed. My car is drivable for the moment but I am afraid the warning light is going to come on and my car is going to slow to a stop and I will stranded or worse. Please look into this problem and force a recall on the transmissions in 2017 Ford Escapes.
