This should definitely fall under a recall. It's a design flaw in the engine and not the result of typical wear and tear by the customer. The company should be held responsible. It's disgusting that aren't being held responsible but instead forcing the customer to foot the bill. I'm a Ford guy but this is just unacceptable. Definitely making me change my mind on future purchases.
Great video! Thank you
I think the reason it isn’t is because it lasted so long. Need to be a class action lawsuit like with the Chevy dod/afm to get them to do something/ compensate the owners.
There is a class action lawsuit being launched
Ford has not done a recall.
There are class action suits for this. Google it and join one if you're having issues
Why don't they send out a recall?
Whew, glad I found this video. I'm seeing early signs of this issue in my 2017 FE... How in the world does this NOT fall under a "Recall" ... Ford should cover this!
How does ford not cover this, it’s criminal
Yesterday we found out our 2019 Ford Escape Titanium with 2.0L EcoBoost Engine needs to be replaced. Our Escape had the engine light come on earlier this week at 49,701 miles. We immediately got it to Rowe Ford Westbrook and it was diagnosed with several misfires, all 4 cylinders had fluid in them, and the coolant tank was almost empty. Thank goodness this is warranted and that we have an awesome dealership that has ordered a new engine. We were given a brand new Ford F150 loaner until its fixed. Thank you for showing us exactly why our engine failed. The poor design of the engine block caused the head gasket to fail. They have since redesigned this. We hope Ford has learned their lesson and stepped up to the plate with a recall. There are a lot of these engines still on the road and costing people thousands of dollars if not still under warranty.
You. like I, were lucky that you found out about that coolant intrusion issue just before your warranty expired. I have a 2017 Edge Titanium 2.0L Turbo and found out about my leak in October of 2020 at 48,051 miles, and Yankee Ford covered my new long block replacement at no cost to me and gave me a new 2020 Escape for a loaner. I learned in earlier research on that coolant issue that most of those whose warranty had expired ended up paying from $8k to $9K for new engines out of their own pockets. That clearly should have been a recall on the part of Ford. Shame on them!
You scared me a bit. I have a 2 liter '15 escape 216,769 miles still runs good but i think it needs the intake cleaned like you showed. Thanks for all the great info.
Many other manufacturers use this kind of steam management, but the Eco-Boost has just too little "meat" for the gasket to seal. Ford should help these customers.
As a Ford technician well over half the Escapes, Fusions, and Edges I do long block and short blocks with 2.0 and 1.5 are warranty. Ford is trying to clean it up at least that's what we are told. They screw us on the warranty time. So the customer isn't the only one suffering because of these engines.
@@Silent_Shadow So they aren't helping their customers at all with this issue?
@@Silent_Shadow My 2016 Ford Edge has a crack in cylinder one. Technician said need a new engine and Ford didn't help at all. Still runs so tomorrow I will trade in for something better than Ford.
@@Silent_Shadow I agree. Did warrant claims for over 20 yrs. You techs have taken it in the shorts.
Had Ford stood behind our Fusion we would probably be driving it today and buying future Fords, but they did not so now we drive Toyota and will be buying Toyotas going forward so what is better Ford eating the cost for a bad design and keeping a customer or making the customer eat their mistake and losing future sales? Too bad Ford Toyota loves you:P
Thank you Brian, I always look forward to your videos. Being a tech myself, when ever I have a Ford in my stall, its nice to know that I have a solid source for good Ford info.
Sounds like a Class Action Lawsuit to me.
I sent my papers to a firm but there's not enough people to push it further I think.
I'll be adding this
200%
Looking into this now too!!! Bullshit!!!
I had to buy a new longblock for my sons car with 71,000 miles.
Just got my 2018 Escape back from the dealer with a J2GZ 6006 E replacement engine. Car had 53000 miles on it. Thank goodness for that extended warranty!
Our 2017 2.0 Escape failed 4 weeks ago @ 52K miles. It had a week left on the original power train warranty. Coolant in cylinder 4. Had a misfire on 4 at 40K, but only once. No issue found then. No white smoke. The failure was an instantaneous dead misfire while on the highway doing 70 mph. No light at low throttle, but light would illuminate with any medium acceleration. Ultimately it would only do 50 mph as I limped it back to the dealer. Ford replaced engine and it’s great now.
great for a while at least huh?
Thanks for this video Brian! I have a 2017 Escape 2.0l with 30,000 miles. Owned since new. Oil changes every 4k-5k miles and tranny dump-n-fills every 15k miles. I was hoping to keep it for a long time. I'm selling this sucker and not waiting for it to fail outside of warranty time.
Great topic. This is a very true issue for all the manufacturers. We get calls on the dps6 daily. Tried the dorman control moduels. That is so true. You will definitely put 2 to 3 of them on before you get a good one. Recently been buying good used. The supply chain issues are definitely hurting the whole automotive repair industry and the quality control of aftermarket parts is lacking.
Always waiting to see what you have to say about the next issue ! Well Done 👍
These continuing quality control problems is why this life long Ford customer bought a new Lexus GX. I miss the days when some of my old Fords would easily hit 150k miles before its first proglem would surface.
Great info Brian..Thanks for your expertise..much appreciate your hard work man.
thanks so much also showing how they fixed this issue in 2020 with getting rid of the slit between cylinders.... everyone is screaming how bad the eco boost engine is (and the old design is) but no one is saying it was fixed in 2020
I have a 2018 Ford Fusion 2.0L ecoboost with a misfire in cylinder 2 & 3 with only 27.5k miles that is less than 6k a year and dealing with this issue.dealership only offered a 3 year - 30k mile warranty..replaced spark plugs and coil in cylinder 2 and played around with cylinder 3 to see if it was any other cylinder but problem stayed with cylinder 2 and 3 after all the tests...this should be Fords problem not mine....should count towards the lemon law
I'm happy that I have a 2015 Fusion Titanium 2.0 Ecoboost (since late 2018). The 2017 model I looked at was just too much money, so I bought a 2015. Good thing I didn't buy a 2017 one, seriously. At 8 yrs old my Fusion currently only has 47k miles and is in excellent condition overall. So far I'm happy with it.
Issues like this should be covered regardless of miles/age! It’s obviously a design flaw, why should the customer have to pay for Ford’s poor engineering. I’m actually a Ford guy but this type of thing really gets me pissed!
I dumped Ford. I still have my beloved edge in my garage that gulps coolant. Ford told me to pound sand since it's out of warranty. Totally wrong. I'm a toyota gut now. All my toyota friends always told me my engine would blow one day. It did!
What does the dealer charge to replace the engine?
7,000 for a new engine in the escape is what a dealer wants. Just got a quote for a new engine for a 2017 escape
For a second there, I thought you filmed this video yesterday, that is my exact car with the exact mileage and the exact same problem cylinder number three ugh! It is at the local Ford dealer right now. Getting a new engine put in it covered by warranty thank goodness, at least now I know the problem will be fixed, thanks for your very informative video. You helped to put my mind at ease. Thank you.
It not necessarily the engineering. I was a master tech at Lincoln Mercury in the seventies and some genius Ford accountant/ cost cutter decide the drilled hole in the connecting rod on the 2.0 L engine could be eliminated saving a manufacturing operation and a few pennies per engine. Unfortunately that hole lined up with the crank journal oil hole and lubricated the cylinder/ piston skirt on every revolution. I lost count of how many scored piston skirts I saw. I had a pile of them after warranty repairs with " DRILLED" replacement rods and pistons.
The expert solves another headache!! Awesome job bruh
Thanks for showing us the difference between the old and revised blocks! I have a 2018 with 62k and so far it hasn’t went out on me… YET. But it will so it’s nice to know what to look for in the replacement engines.
Mine went around 103k. Good luck!
Trade it before it happens is an option
@@michaelcrossley4716 mine went at 62K ugh!
Mine went out at 32k!!
Mike just went out at 58k
It's one after another in my shop, there are 3 of us just doing various engine replacements right now. It really sucks for the cust because it's taking a while for the engines to arrive.
Thank you for the info, I’m not a mechanic but I’m trying to learn how to do this myself.
Know it’s not the best thing to do but it’s my only option currently my warranty ran out a month b4 the transmission went and I had it fixed for 6grand then this happened and it crushed me after spending that much on repairs.
I do not have enough money to fix the car in fact I still owe on it, and it’s annoying, I’m paying thousands for a car that’s not valued more then a grand. I can’t work full time or maintain a job without a car.
It has kept me up at night for almost a year now.
God Bless you for your generosity!
Glad they fixed this, I bought a 2022 Ford Maverick with the 2.0 turbo motor!
I got my 2017 Escape in June of 2016 and just hit 22,000 miles. Being 72 and retired, it could outlast me anyway. If not, I live in Chicago so I might look you up!
Thank you for sharing this information. My wife's 2018 Ford Escape 2.0, 37,000 plus miles is doing fine but I plan on trading this in 2023. She wants another Ford Escape 2.0. Thanks
I've been busy replacing engines at my workplace. After I finish this Transit 3.7L V6 engine replacement, I've got my third 2.0L to replace this month.
2014 Fusion 2.0 ecoboost: noticed burning coolant smell and running slightly hot. Discovered coolant level was 1.5” below max. Then noticed some white smoke smells of coolant in exhaust when starting cold. Oil smells a little more gassy than I’ve ever noticed, but no signs of coolant in oil, no sign of oil in coolant. What can cause this? What can I do to confirm what the issue is? Is it safe to drive if I keep levels topped off? 143k miles.
good to see they are finally updating the 2.3 to basically be brand new. would have been interesting to see/hear that running with the misfire and or white smoke. do the 2.3's blow up from too much coolant getting in the bore and hydrolock which then bends a rod/windows the block?
Good video , I see, I've seen this in tractors and small engines as a dealer a few years ago, thin material actually between cylinders and pushrod gally always blew out and lack of head bolts in that area of coarse ,.....
Reading the TSB you showed only list the Edge up to year 2018. Do you know, did the 2019 Edge go to the new thick wall design? Really appreciate all your videos and information you put out on this, I forward to all my friends that have these engines.
Going through this exact issue right now. 7 year old car that cost 40 grand, Now They want to replace the motor, NEVER EVER AGAIN will I buy another FORD ......
Happened to me too
I bought 2017 edge with 80.000 miles, at 83.000 miles the check engine light come on, and the coolant level was below minimum. The dealer scan it and found misfire in cylinder #3; coolant intrusion. Thank God I took an extended warranty (3 year’s). Right now they are installing the new long block on it.
This is going on with mine. Number 3 cylinder. Thanks for the video.
I'm thinking of buying a 2015 fushion at the auction on tuesday. Glad to know it has the older block design.
Thanks for this video, this is exactly what I have going on, every thing you said to a T is exactly what I observed. Thanks greatly for your information!!!
Thank you for an excellent explanation of what the cause of the problem was and how Ford fixed it. I also had that intrusion issue but caught it early enough that Ford had to cover the cost, but I always wondered until now what the cause of the failure was, and how it was fixed, and your video explains it well. I'm guessing that the new engine shown in this video is the one that they put into my 2017 Edge. Thanks, as always, for a great video.
@@ranckie5055 I wouldn't count on it. When they replaced the engine on my '17 Escape, I asked the technician if Ford actually fixed the problem or do they just hope it doesn't happen again before the warranty expires? He just smiled and said "We hope so".
Great illustration. Has Low compression been an issue with these motors? And what should the compression in psi be across all cylinders? Mines a "15" 2.0 with 109K on the clock.
Thanks guys 👍👍👍
As we speak the 2.0 eco boost on my 2017 Edge is being replaced with only 45k miles on it. Luckily it is being covered by warranty. I hope the new long block being installed is the improved design.
It won't, ford is putting the same garbage right back on
@@SwingArmCity wrong,there is a revised long block.Please watch the video to the end
I've contacted the dealership an spoke with my parts rep as well as the service manager and according to them the service engine for 2017 is the same engine it has always been they do not show a revised or updated part number. This is my concern. I saw the end and heard the updated engine but do you have to buy a service engine for the newer model vehicle and will it go right in or are other parts/ changes needed to make it work?@@jasonbrushett2005
I watched your videos on the maintenance and issues with 2013 Escape's 1.6L motors and 6 speed transmissions. I bought my FWD 2013 Escape new. I currently have 97000 miles on it and never really had any issues until recently with the transmission making a noise on hills after 2 second or third gear [might be the transfer clutch] and had no warning lights. I had the transmission serviced unfortunately for the first time [i was under the impression that it could not be serviced] at a local FORD dealer in hopes that it would fix the issue. They performed the service and also found that it needed a low fuel flow sensor after a computer scan. $850 dollars later I still have the noise. Yesterday I added 12 ounces of Lucas transmission fix, and the noise is better but haven't tried starting out on any hills yet. I have also been noticing that the coolant level seems to go down over time [weeks/months] and I add coolant to keep it filled. This is our second car now and it only gets driven on a couple of 20-mile short trips every week. I have learned a lot from your videos and probably could have done the transmission service myself. Oh well, too late now as they say. Thanks for providing me and others with all of this valuable information regarding this model year Escape.
My question is should I just keep the Escape until it has some major failure to the motor or transmission or sell it now while it is still running and can get some value for it???????? Please advise and I value your opinion. Thanks Rich
It would be worth very little in trade but probably a little more than junk value.
My 2017 Fusion had it's EcoBoost 2.0 replaced with only 38K in Sept 2019 for this issue and fortunately they used the improved design long block.
Bought a Ford extended warranty on our 2015 Edge once I heard of this problem. We have the 'Cleveland' engine that is supposed to have this engine. So far no problems with 65,000 miles.
I made a post about this happening to me...... update: 2.0L eco boost, i had the head removed and cylinder 2 and 3 where clean as can be and blew the piston rings off cylinder 3, remind you it only had 27k miles....dealership would not do anything to help so i went to another ford dealership more respected and was able to get the new engine and seals for 4k with a core exchange of 1k so 3k. Had a buddy install it for $800
So the thing about recalls are the from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to get a recall, we need everyone to report this issue to them
We need too because these people are not trying to fix the engines
First off I want to thank you for all you do for us Ford owners. I currently just sold my 2020 Escape for 22 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0. Is the newer block Incorporated in the Bronco Sport Badlands?
Mine was cylinder 1 and what I found from TSB was the blocks or engines made in Spain had the most issues
This "design flaw' goes back to at least 2014, as I am watching a video right now showing it in the 1.6 4 cyl. This is really unbelievable... and the Ford dealer sold this to us, 10 years old, knowing this issue existed and said nothing. Now it is swallowing coolant like crazy.
Just had a friend with this failure. As a long time Volvo fan, I see where they pulled some of this design from Volvo, IMO. Those 2.5L 5 cylinder turbo engines suffer from this same failure. The 2.3 has thicker cylinders and is stronger even being open decked. Some have shimmed between the cylinders. The cross drilling solution is cool though.
I recently diagnosed a 1.5L EcoBoost and found cylinder #1 with coolant intrusion (it leaked so bad to the point where the spark plug ceramic cracked in half and turned dark orange) . I would agree with you that the majority are #2 and 3 coolant intrusion. You can usually see a mark on the block or head gasket itself.
Well that sucks, I thought the 1.5l 3cyl was the one with few issues like this.
@@Bills96TA sorry, I was talking about the 1.5L EB 4 cylinder. I had to replace a 1.5L EB 3 cyl as well, but because the oil pump belt broke internally, the engine seized on the customer.
@@Bills96TA There are 2 different 1.5Ls that Ford has out. Hopefully the newer one 'Dragon' won't have this specific issue.
Thank you for that very important piece of information!
What sucks is Ford didn't recall of these motors once the flaw was determined. Ford should make it right for all of these owners, or at least meet them halfway, or provide the engine custy pays for the labor.
Ford has a reputation of not recalling a damn thing unless people are killed (re; Pinto). And even then they’ll rather go through the lawsuits as their been-counters determined that dealing with lawsuits from fatalities was more cost-effective than the cost of recalls.
Dodge is no better- they outright screwed owners of RAM 1500s with the 4.7 OHC motor (which I owned at one point) which was a magnet for head gasket and electrolysis issues resulting in coolant intrusion and premature engine death. They (Daimler-Chrysler at the time) let the lawsuit drag out until Cerberus (the hedge fund group that bought out Chrysler), which resulted in all the class action lawsuits going poof. As a result, everyone with a bum engine was stuck with no recourse.
I’ll keep my Crown Victoria Police Interceptor over any new Dodge or Ford product.
@@blue.5058 Lifelong Ford guy who has a love and hate relationship with Ford. I daily drive a 2011 Grand Marquis. Never get rid of the Panther. You won't find a new car that checks the boxes that these cars do. The rest of my Fords are all old, mostly 80s with V8s. I'm really sickened at what every manufacturer is putting out these days. They all have a slew of problems caused by .gov standards and stop gap measures.

Thank for sharing it
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Holy cow, today, May 12, 2023, I was just informed by Ford that my 2017 Ford Escape 2.0L, ecoboost needs a new engine. Thanfully, I have the Ford ESP Premium and all I have to pay is a low deductible. I had no clue this was a problem with these vehicles.
Smart man!
Another great video did the new motor get a new purge valve I know south main auto if my memory serves me correctly had a customer who needed a new one but there indefinitely in back order but was able to get a aftermarket that actually did work because of the clip design
This just stung us at 85K miles. Covered under extended warranty, and dealership has been awesome to do all the right things.
Thank you for such an excellent video, Brian.
I was hoping to be able to DM through here but I'm not able to. I wanted to ask you, what is the quoted total price for this job with parts included? And are you near northern New Jersey? Also, how long does this job take (rental estimates)?
So I just purchased my lease 2019 escape titanium .
Had no choice. But I do love the car. Is this inevitable?
And is there anything I can do before it happens. Thanks for the great videos
I have a 2017 Escape SE with a 1.5 liter Ecoboost. So far no issues with the engine. It has 28,000 miles and is regularly maintained.
Mine went bad at 75,000 miles.
My 2018 Ford Escape with a 1.5 liter went out after 50,000 miles. On 6/16/23 Ford put in a new engine. Ford gave me 3 days of reduced rental fee but the new engine didn’t show up for 5 days so I had to pay for a total of 5 rental days at 30 dollars a day. Ford rep said that they may be paying for these additional days so hang on to your receipts for a possible Ford reimbursement. Ford did the right thing.
Any chance you could elaborate on what all engines are affected? I see the years the 2.0s were affected in this video. You’ve mentioned the 1.5l on here. Were all the 1.6s the old design, or did certain years of that motor have the issue? Is the 2.3 part of this in the Mustang, Ranger, Explorer, some Lincoln models?
These turbo engines are great at generating power since there are no V6s due to emission mandates. However, turbos and turbo chargers add more stress in these smaller engines. I avoid turbocharged or supercharged engines, that extra power is not worth the headaches or the cost of ownership.
There are still V6 engines…the 2.7L, 3.0L, 3.3L, 3.5L & 3.7L are still used.
The brighter the bulb burns, the shorter it lives. You can use CGI blocks, forged cranks, moly rings, and more, but we're at the point where we're asking too much from these little engines. Dial all of them back to sub 200 hp and they'll all live much longer.
Can I disable the turbo?
@@s99614 no, it’s part of the exhaust/intake system. Even if you could just turn it off, your car would lose most of its power.
Toyota never slapped a turbo in and said mandate fixed! 😂
I’m happier now that I bought a 2.5 Escape, even though I would have liked more features available with this powertrain.
Ford tech Makuloco, Can you please tell me of the brand new 2.3L ecoboost engine that is in the ranger has the cross drilled design to prevent a blowout? Thank you for your time
It'd be interesting to see if the same issue affects Australian built FG - FGX Ford Falcon's with the 2.0L EcoBoost 4cyl. Because they came out around 2012 - 2016 so it's hard to know for certain wether they're Gen 1 or Gen 2 or wether the blocks changed.
Most likely they're ok. I believe they switched in 2017 to the Open Deck Cooling system so any engines from 2012-2016 ( 2016's could have a few depending on built date and location )
Hello Brian, thanks for your video, viewing from Angola 🇦🇴. My ford escape is from 2013. Of I buy a new engine do you believe it will already have the leakage issue fixed?
Thanks for clearing that up!
U keep on scaring the crap out of me regarding boosted gas engines!
Great information Brian 👍
My 2017 Lincoln MKC had the same issue. It was water intrusion into cylinder 2. It had around 55,00 miles when it started to have symptoms. It received a new engine already.
What did that cost? I have 2017 MKc
How much was the total repair?
It was under warranty and cost me nothing. The total bill was nearly $8,000 total.
Brian do you change the cats when changing an engine that consumed antifreeze and oil?
If they put three brass tubes with a Couple or more rolled grooves in a indentation molded spot for the brass tubes with rolled grooves, and the out side ones at 90% of the way during the sand casting molding process. Then sand cast the last 10% of the sand mold, and finally pour the molten aluminum in to make the block. Then let it cool and remove the sand they would have descent coolant passages that are corrosion resistant.
I diagnosed one at work the other day, 2017 Edge with the 2.0L, coolant intrusion on cylinder 4, it’s a used car lot that just bought it at auction, still waiting on approval if he wants us to replace the motor or not. O and it’s only got 73,000 miles
hey, any idea why they have us do a short block on the 1.5 but a long block for the 2.0? Since the block is the issue for both...
That is alot the old chevy vega engines design that caused coolant usage problems ( back in the 70s). No turbos back then, that is why they did not grenade sooner. History repeating itself.
I have a 2017 ford escape eco 2.0 I have 146,xxx I haven’t had any issues other than having to replace my wiring harness , imma have to look at the date mine was made.. bc this makes me wanna trade it in!
I have escape model from 2017 but the production date on the plate is 04/2016. Will this also apply to me? because the video says 2017-2019 but this includes the production date or model year?
Great video. If I’m buying a replacement engine from Ford, what P/N am I looking for to ensure I get the upgraded one. Thanks
My y'17 Edge needed a new engine at 49K, I got a new engine for a $100 deductible. So far, all's good.
Thank you so much I’m going to tell my boss to stay away from those at the auction👍🏻🇺🇸
My 2014 Focus ST had about 187k miles when it suddenly started losing coolant summer of 2020. I had to fill it almost completely every other day. If I had known what the issue was for sure & that there was a definite fix, I would have loved to keep it. My main concern was paying for a new engine to just have it happen again. I'm fairly sure the dealership would've just put the exact same model as the one that went bad, & I'd have the same problem in the future. So I went from a car I loved that was paid off, to a new one. Settled for a simple naturally aspirated 6 cylinder in hopes of keeping any issues to minimal headaches.
The focus st and rs had head gasket issues. You were smart to get rid of it.
@@Rvp5150 RS had gasket problems. With the ST-s, only modded ones going bad. Stay stock and all will be fine. But find a stock ST might be tricky.
ST has the closed deck. You must have been driving it hard in the morning before everything warmed up .
Great video, thanks
Is there a way to determine if it's a gasket or a cracked block without disassembly?
I use to buy FordMoCo products.
I have this unreasonable expectation that at 100K miles all I should need to buy is oil.
Not a ($4500?) long block.
Just think how much the environment was saved by running this engine (until the engine was shot). That extra .1 or .2 MPG is well worth it.
What type of oil do you run?
@@dlewis9760 Bingo. All of this is due to government screwing with good things again. Name me one problem they ever solved that wasn't their own making. (we could shorten that to "name me one problem they ever solved")
Hello, your video is very interesting!
Can you tell me where I can find the circulation diagram for the coolant system of the 2.0 ecoboost, I have some trouble with my engine and I would like to understand what is going on.
Thanks in advance.
Julien
2.3L Eco 2017 Mustang with only 23,000 miles with this issue. Ford needs to make good on this one. Talk about a pampered car only to have coolant in the #1 cylinder. Misfire P0301.
I enjoyed driving my Ford, but had several issues with it. Unfortunately, I had to go with an import this go around to help avoid the headaches. Domestic cars are just not what they used to be!
Always a great, concise presentation!
What did ford expect, the upper cylinder pressure is flexing the bores . If you look closely at the head gasket you can see that the where the bore is moving against the head gasket.
I assume 2 and 3 are wearing more because of more heat being generated inside the engine? Just wondering. Good video.
Great video like always makuloco
Very interested in the camera you using for this is that a Milwaukee?
Nope just a regular old iPhone 14 Pro.
FWIW my 2.0L 2019 Fusion is in the shop right now (awaiting parts, of course) for coolant intrusion
Nice video with the three CAD versions to show how the actual problem came about and what the fix was.
Do you know what date your Fusion was manufactured? I also have a 2019 Titanium
Is there a way to block off that slot. With a thin piece of cork gasket and keep coolant from flowing in there.
I'm experimenting on the wife's cars which has the crack between 1-2.
Could the over rich condition be cause by the over temp? More fuel to cool the cylinders?
Fords motto : “the customer is a beta tester !”
Can a thicker head gasket made from softer material hold this off? Also, is this the engine with twin-scroll turbocharger or earlier single-scroll design?
Thanks for a great explanation of this issue and showing the new block design. I've seen one RUclipsr suggest that the 2.0L engines that have the coolant intrusion issue were the one assembled in Cleveland, while the Valencia engines seem to be fine. What are your thought on that?
Nope they all have the issue.
If they all have the issue.. why is the 2017+ only mentioned here, when in a previous video and now here you’re saying they all do. I have a 2016 Valencia 2.0, thought I was good now I see this comment… hmm 🤔 😢
I am speaking of the different build plants, not specific models and engines.
@@FordTechMakuloco Sorry.. just to confirm then I should be ok, contrary to your last video re: the 2.0 and this one pre-2017… being I have a 2016?
My mom's 2017 Edge with the 2.0L Ecoboost is in the shop getting a new motor at 74k miles. 🙃
It's sad that Ford won't stand behind them because other than that I love my 18 escape
Go figure that I find out this is a known issue AFTER my wife purchased a 2017 Escape 2.0 Ecoboost AWD Ti.. She wasnted an Escape really badly, we got it with 60K miles, and hopefully the Lifetime powertrain warranty will cover this IF it happens in the future..
Appreciate the knowledge....
Hey Brian, this is Richard I have a 2017 F150 2.7 eco-boost that has the same issue Ford has approved to replace my long block for exactly the same issue you’re saying was wondering if it’s just a one time thing or is it common also in the 2.7 eco-boost? And my pickup has 64,000 miles only
