Coolant was leaking into the engine creating a need for a full engine replacement. Signs of the issue included check engine lights appearing on dashboard twice in two weeks and no coolant remaining in the vehicle. This issue has been reported multiple times by other owners of Ford Escapes with no recourse from Ford. Issue was reported to me by an independent car mechanic. Engine is being replaced this week, therefore no receipt for repairs is yet available, but estimate was $9000.

Bought vehicle (used 91.5K miles) from Hyundai dealer and on drive home the check engine light illuminated, checked it at home and was P0301 (misfire on cylinder #1). After back and forth with the dealer I agreed to bring in the vehicle for them to diagnose. On the trip to dealer the vehicle overheated and I had to add water and wait roadside before I could continue. At the dealer the problem was diagnosed as coolant leaking into the #1 cylinder at the head gasket (i.e. per TSB 22-2322 and related TSBs) and the fix was a new long block.

My child and I were driving in the car when it suddenly overhead to extreme temperatures. I've only had this car 2 years, come to find out there's a faulty design to the engine cylinders causing coolant to seep in to the engine, also causing the head gasket to blow. This is ford's fault and there's currently class action lawsuits because this can cause the engine to combust, incredibly dangerous. There needs to be recalls

I was driving home from my second job, when the "check engine" light came on. I thought "no big deal". As i got further along, I noticed a "skip" in the engine. The "skip", or misfire, continued. Several more miles down the road, there was a sudden jolt with the car. A message with an alarm suddenly displayed on my cockpit instrument cluster; " Service Required, See Dealer now". By the time I arrived home, the engine was misfiring quite regularly. I parked the car, called the closest repair shop to set up appointment, and they told me go ahead and bring in car. The car would not restart, so I had car towed to repair shop. The next day, the repair shop called saying vehicle had "Blown Head Gasket " and would take a major repair. The car has not been repaired yet because of the major expense.
