I have a 2.0 ecoboost 2018 ford escape that has currently loosing coolant with in a week, after inspecting the issue it was found that engine coolant intrusion has began and white smoke is coming out of the back of the exhaust, and have a misfire code for cylinder 3 and 4. The spark plug on cylinder 4 upon pulling it out was wet. 104,000 miles is currently on my car, and is parked because I can't come up with that type of money for either a new engine or head gasket to be fixed. There is no coolant leaks, so there for it has blown a head gasket, amd ford needs to issue a recall.

My 2018 Ford Escape that I got under 3 years ago needs a new engine. It has the ecoboost engine. There should be a recall for this car because so many people are struggling with this. I know that there are others out there struggling like I am with a lot left to pay off their lease and not having the ability to buy another vehicle or afford a new engine. My first check engine light came on and was a cylinder 3 misfire. The spark plugs were all replaced. The engine light came back on after a week and it was a cylinder 2 misfire. The light came back on after a few days of getting it inspected/looked at. Took it back to the shop and I was told the engine must be replaced because leaking coolant getting into the engine causing many issues. Their ecoboost engines are faulty and they should be held accountable.

There is an Internal coolant leak inside of engine took it to a ford dealer they said it was not doing it when they checked it. This problem is getting worse blowing thick white smoke out of tail pipe and losing coolant rapidly. I looked this up it is a known problem /recall for this engine , make and model of vehicle. I have been trying to get this fixed for a while now and ford just gives me the run around. I had my mechanic test it and it came back as blowing combustion gas into the coolant system indicating blown head gasket or internal leak.
