2017 Ford Escape

I bought a Ford Escape 2017 and noticed it started having engine problems I took it to a repair facility and they told me the coolant was leaking into the cylinders. They told me to fix it I would have to get a whole new engine for $8,000, this is so much for a car I just got; I can't get it fixed through Ford since there is no recall. I have already wasted so much money trying to fix it for what the mechanics thought it was, on top of that $2,530 for taking apart the engine to diagnose it. Ford needs to recall these vehicles, this is a manufacturing error on their part and they should pay to get it fixed along with the maintenance people have paid to try to fix this issue.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2. This car is 7 years old with 77k miles and needs a new long block due to defective design. Car started stuttering when started and check engine light first came on and I took it to my local mechanic who said the code was for an engine cylinder misfire. He noticed coolant was low and told me this is a common, massive design defect causing coolant intrusion into the engine cylinder and ruining the engine. Had it officially diagnosed by Ford ASAP and they want $9600 to replace their defective engine. Ford recalled the 1.5 ecoboost for this exact issue. Mine is a 2.0 turbo. Please force Ford to recall these vehicles. Someone will die if you don't and they do not care. Ford denied "customer loyalty assistance" and is now leaving me with a paperweight for a car. We need help from the nhtsa. Contact me if you need more information.

Request for Immediate Resolution of Vehicle Issue I am writing to file a complaint regarding my vehicle, which has less than 40,000 miles and is under 7 years old. Recently, it displayed the error codes PO303-00 and PO316. I took the vehicle to the dealership, and they recommended replacing the entire engine, quoting a cost of $11,500. To seek a second opinion, I consulted a machine shop, and they informed me that these errors should not occur on a vehicle this new with such low mileage. I am deeply concerned, as this vehicle is relatively new and should not be experiencing major issues like this. I rely on my car for daily activities, including taking my child to school, and would appreciate a prompt resolution to this matter. Please assist in addressing this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention and assistance.
