We took our car into Ford dealership because we noticed the heater was blowing only cold air. No other problems were evident, car was running fine. The dealer called and told us that the engine was destroyed because the coolant leaked into the engine block. Car did not indicate there was coolant leak, of which we were totally unaware. We had no idea we were driving a vehicle that could have had a sudden power failure or engine could have caught fire. Our dealership and Ford are working out the details of our financial obligation to have the engine replaced.

Car was overheating, took it to Ford Taylor they said coolant leak in the engine, and the customer satisfaction program had ended so we have to pay for repair 6k. We agreed to pay but they never repair the car we keep calling and they didn't fix it. The car was in Ford for 5 months no repair then they called that the repair cost is now 14k, we had no choice than to pick it up. Car in our house for 10months now, car not moving no one want to buy it. So sad we have to go through this.

After my car started and I tried to go, it shook a little, and the check engine light came on. I got it checked at a service station, and they said my coolant was low and my engine was shot, it appeared that there was a leak in the coolant that was leaking into and ruining the engine. I do not feel safe driving the car in the case that is breaks down, and with only 32,000 miles on it this is not standard for the car.
