[XXX] Recall ON YOUR VEHICLE, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING IS DAMAGED OR MISSING. my car can't be used for ride-sharing, which is how I pay for the car. I've been informed that my vehicle has an open safety recall due to recall, which prohibits me from sharing on ride-sharing platforms. This is causing me financial hardship. Also, if it's unsafe for ride-sharing, it's unsafe for my family and me to ride in. I was informed to visit the NHTSA website to search vehicle VIN for safety recalls. The local dealership cannot fix my car for there are no solutions. I need to find a fix so I can resume working and making payments. If not I need to sell this car or return the car to Ford.

Engine coolant getting into cylinders with symptoms of coolant loss, white exhaust smoke, rough running engine, and engine light on. This leads to rapid loss of coolant. I need to refill the coolant at the end of each day of driving, creating a potential further engine damage and risk of fire. A Ford dealership inspected the vehicle and determined these facts to be the case. The repair they deemed necessary is a new long block -- on my vehicle of only 45,000 miles -- at a price of $8,500.

I believe the component that is causing the intermittent issue is the throttle body, however the issue is very hard to diagnose as it is very intermittent. There has been another case on the same engine (just a different year) that I have found online. While entering a highway on multiple occasions now, the vehicles engine entered a limp mode, and the entire dash had lit up with service messages. The Wrench, Check Engine, Service AdvanceTrac, Blindspot Monitoring, and many more lights were present. This is unsafe because in both situations I was unable to accelerate to get out of the way of oncoming traffic let alone safely pull my car to the side of the road. In one instance I had to pull off on the only shoulder I had just as I was entering a major highway and ended up being half in the lane of oncoming traffic on a bend where oncoming vehicles could not really see me stopped. Ive been at a dealer twice, and there are no codes present, the issue goes away after a simple vehicle restart.

A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling sound from the rear of the engine, sounds more prevalent at idle and when shifting into gear, loss of power to wheels, and no other systems have issue after incident. Vehicle is currently at Herlong Ford (SC Ford Dealer) awaiting diagnostic and possible maintenance after the incident. I would assume the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. After conducting research, we are now aware of a known recall on this specific vehicle for its age and time of manufacturing. The owned vehicle falls into the criteria for the recall but it is unknown why it is not noted on the vehicle history/Ford recall center. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant, falls within the recall years 2013-2018, and has shown all symptoms pertaining to the recall that is open on other vehicles.

head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine maintenance records follow this car - no fault of consumer - this is 100 percent Ford's fault. These need to be recalled immediately before a fatal accident occurs.
