2017 Ford Escape

Vehicle started shaking a little upon cold start. This did not happen every day and would only do it when first started of a morning. Took for service and was told vehicle needs a new engine. No check engine lights ever came on and vehicle has had no other problems. We are shocked at this news! Researched and saw numerous reports of recalls, etc. on this particular model and engine. Never received any information about recall on our engine.

The check engine light continuously came on and would go off. I also noticed that the coolant was needing refilled extremely often. I took the car up to the check engine, light reader, and it informed me that cylinder was misfiring. I cleaned out them out using product from Autozone. There have been two incidents where my car overheated while driving when coolant was just refilled (within a month). After researching online, many others have this exact situation.

Check engine light came on, and then car started misfiring. Took it to dealership who stated coolant was leaking into the engine and was a result of TSB 22-2322. Technician said if the engine is not replaced it could result in engine malfunction such as overheating and leading up to a fire. Received an estimate of repair from the FORD dealership which confirms issues.

While I was driving on the highway at 70mph all of a sudden the car started to shake and slowed down, could not go over 35mph. At 91k miles, the car developed a misfire in coil 2. It was recommended to replace the spark plugs, which we did (all 4). The code received is P0302. Still having having issues, upon further testing, it was found that there is no compression in coil 2. After researching - there are tens of thousands of complaints of this same issue. Talking with a dealer, then to Ford's customer service, I was told there is nothing they can do. I need a new short block which will cost upwards of $8,000. This is a known issue with Ford and thousands of complaints, yet no recall has been done. Ford said the warranty is 7 years or 84,000. While I am within warranty for the years, I am just over the mileage. However, a car that is just at 90,000 miles and only one owner (myself), driven about 3-4 days a week for work should not be having this problem. There were NO notifications or messages that there was a problem. There still is NOT a check engine light or other notification. We had to have a scan put on it to learn of the P0302 misfire in coil 2. There is a class action lawsuit starting up and we will join.
