In 2020 we received a bulletin in mail and my engine has done everything that letter stated it would. I have receipt showing we got it looked at in 2021. My engine misfired on the interstate and in getting spark plugs replaced cylinder 3 was not working. The mechanic could see coolant leaking out from engine. We took to a dealer to get diagnostics done and they claim it needs a whole new engine. It has been there since last week.

They called yesterday stating the piston was also damaged by coolant leaking. I had someone look up my vin and this seems to fall under a engine defect for 2017 model. Now the price increased another 1,000. I am so frustrated because we took it in for the recall and now we are having a whole new engine replacement. our house flooded back in 2016 and we bought 2 of the same vehicle. Brand new because 80 % of the parish was under water and we didn't want to chance getting a flooded one. We paid for the extended warranty but I understand that ran out at 6 years. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place spending more than it is worth.

Engine Light came on and immediately with a few days took the vehicle into the dealership and asked for a tech to do a diagnostic on it. It came back with "requires engine replacement", it showed the following codes - P0301 and P0316.

If you are located in Canada and this has happened to you please contact the Transport Canada to issue a formal Complaint - it is easy and quick - enough people do it and they will need to issue a RECALL, which should have happened a few years ago - I can't believe Ford has known about this Failure and done nothing about it for almost 9 years.

Ford gave me NO Assistance what so ever! They left us hanging out to dry - they offered reduce the cost of the New Engine from approximately $13,500 Canadian Dollars or buy the car back at a discount. We had a quote done several months earlier where the value was estimated at $14,500 now they will give us $7000 to get us GONE. Ford Canada was not help their Customer Assistance Line was a JOKE. Remember folks its Ford.
