My vehicle was scheduled to have Customer Satisfaction Program 19B37 completed which would have found that Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 needed done and Corwin Ford of Reno pushed my service out by months causing those programs to expire. Due to that my now 5 yr old SUV with 66,634 miles needs a new engine per the diagnostic quote I received from the auto shop that Corwin Ford sent me to because they also couldn-??t fit me in for a service.

The engine developed a crack in the block. Antifreeze is pouring into the cylinder causing the vehicle to not accelerate properly. It-??s a very dangerous situation when you try and pull out into traffic. Ford knows it-??s a problem with 2017 to 2019 2.0 liter eco boost engine. Why haven-??t they been made to fix this situation"?"

Defect in engine looses coolant could cause overheating and engine lockup

- Kalkaska, MI, USA

Had scheduled a service to repair back latch. The day prior the check engine light came on. Upon diagnostic from Ford service center, it was determined that coolant had leaked into a cylinder and caused miss-fire. The Service center informed me that it was just a matter of time until all cylinders were compromised and would seize. I was quoted roughly $7,500 to replace the engine on a vehicle that is only worth $7,000 ( per the Ford service center sales team ). After looking into this type of problem, it seems to be a re-occurring problem for many of the Eco Boost engines. Currently there is an active Class-Action Lawsuit against Ford for this exact problem. I then contacted Ford Motor and was told by 2 different people & 1 supervisor that there was nothing they could do, and to go to the NHTSA website and put a complaint in. I have yet to have the vehicle repaired. Vehicle has roughly 122K miles.
