My warning light went off for misfire in plug 3, then proceeded to set off warning light that temperature was too hot to stop immediately. Took to mechanics, something with the coolant system and it blew my motor. Second motor put in, it was not compressing correctly now waiting on 3rd motor. Also there is no sound coming from my speakers and my radio module will not allow me to change from am to fm. Bluetooth will connect but with no sounds

I was driving on I 95 and my check engine light came on, then the transmission light came on followed by No hill assist light.As I was driving home all of a sudden without warning my SUV dropped to 10 miles an hour while driving at at speed of 55 miles per hour.. For safety reasons I pulled over on to the shoulder, shut the SUV off a waited, and then I restarted the engine. The same lights came on and again I couldn't drive over 10 miles an hour. After sitting for over 5 months waiting for a recall because Ford said that's the only way they will fix the problem. I hired someone to look at my SUV, I called the Ford Hotline and asked if there was a recall, Because I remember 2 months before it broke down someone came out to my home to fix the bushings that were also being recalled. I was told no, but was advised to wait to see if there would be a recall. Within the last 2 weeks I asked a mechanic to look at my SUV, I was told the issue is an electrical problem, something about control module/ that caused the computer system to fail. The compute is telling the SUV that it's in park., that's why the SUV went into limp mode and won't go over 10 miles per Hours the problem has been determined by a mechanic.

2017 short block was replaced in the engine. Only to find out recalls for engine coolant has been leaking into the engine again. Year models built Sept 17, 2015 to year April 8,2019 at lewyviell Kentucky. Ironically my car was made at this location where the cars have been recalled from March 25, 2017. My car was made and the only thing ford company did was replace the short block not the entire engine. And not with the new engine recalls that started on June 9, 2022. That I already mention was the series of cars made at that plant.

Vehicle have an engine light went in for service It was leaking coolant in number 3 cylinder Due to a bad design on Engine needed to replace hole engine

- West Chester, PA, USA

Brakes have failed twice and been repaired. Several sensors have failed and been repaired. The engine failed and had to be totally rebuilt. The vehicle has only 45000 miles. Minor, but paint has peeled down to bare metal. The engine has just been repaired by dealership - it was a bear to get that accomplished. Ford Corporation would not assist but the dealership itself was very proactive. When the incident happened several warnings came on but did not stay on - stopped right in the middle of a street which in my view created a huge safety hazard. We were able to restart and get off the road but had to have it towed. It would not go faster than 5-10 mph. I have done much research on the vehicle to find out that this failure was due to a design and numerous manufacturing flaws - coolant leaked into the engine block and cracked the heads. Ford Corporation has known this for a long time and was not forthcoming when the other repairs were done. The paint and the brakes are also well known problems. The vehicle is now repaired but the question is - for how long? It was inspected through Sam Galloway Ford in Fort Myers FL. I don-??t feel like I can even sell/trade the vehicle and pass these issues on to someone else. Ford is certainly not being fair to other drivers who are having the same EcoBoost engine problems.

Rear passenger brake light failure. Available for inspection upon request. Car system did not alert upon start that there was a malfunction. Safety of myself and others at risk. Was nearly rear ended and the other party shouted at me to get my taillight fixed as they did not see me brake due to passenger taillight outage. Inclement weather was occurring. No police involvement or report. Upon closer inspection rear passenger taillight was filled halfway with water. When taken to dealership they advised nothing was wrong but the taillight needed exchanged. Upon investigating online it seems THOUSANDS of customers are dealing with this issue and it is an inherent safety risk to many.

Both rear side/outer brake lights have failed. They are BOTH full of water. The plastic fused/welded seam along the top has completely separated and allows the unit to FILL with water. This has then resulted in electrical short, water in wiring plugs/harness, failed LEDs. The vehicle will end up with NO easily visible brake lights. It is a MAJOR safety issue. 2017 Ford Escape SE. This should be IMMEDIATELY evaluated and a recall/replacement program issued. Thank you.
