2019 Ford Escape Limited 2.0L Ecoboost - 36,478 miles, out of warranty due to time. No financial assistance form Ford Good Will Program even though I am a loyal Ford Customer (owned 2005, 2008, 2010, 2017, and now 2019 Ford Escape Limited), low miles, and have all maintenance records. The excuse for not providing funding was - "it is proprietary".

Only solution was to replace long engine block per Technical Service Bulletin with my own money - no responsibility from Ford even though it was their design that caused this according to the Ford Technician: "Kelly, I asked the technician about the new engine vs the original. He replied, THE OLD BLOCK HAS A SAW CUT IN BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS FOR COOLANT FLOW. AND THE NEW ONE THAT SPACE IN FILLED AND HAS A DRILLED HOLE FOR COOLANT FLOW INSTEAD. SO THE NEW BLOCK HAS MORE MATERIAL IN BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS FOR RIGIDITY. AND THE CYLINDER HEAD IS MACHINED TO MATCH. YOU SHOULD NOT EXPERIENCE THE COOLANT INTRUSION WITH THE REDESIGN."

In December 2024 I purchase this 2019 Ford Escape SE. I paid 19,000 of my hard earned money for this car. Starting around the middle of January 2025 the engine light starting coming and I used to obd code reader and my codes read P0301 P0301BD. Which meant a cylinder one mis-fire. This continued coming on at least 5 or 6 times in January 2025. I decided to take it in for repairs; changed my mind when I found out the cost. I just been keep and eye on. After a few months I decided to have the spark plugs and ignition coil to see if that would fix the engine light problem; but it did not. During my last oil change this past May 2025, it was found that I needed to have a compression test to see if I had anti-freeze leak. But the test was never done due to money matters. I came across this site and decided to be apart of this lawsuit.
