problem #1

Jun 182018

Fiesta SE 1.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 78,000 miles

While driving my 2014 Fiesta one day to work, the thermostat light came on, went of, came on, went off. I checked the coolant and it was low. Topped it off. There seemed to be reduced power and some sputtering. Next day, coolant was low. I couldn't figure out where it was going. I stopped to check on coolant and the car never started again. Blew a white puff of smoke out the exhaust when I tried to start it.

I had it towed to dealer and they said #1 cylinder had no compression. Removed spark plugs, which were wet with coolant. Bore scoped cylinder was found wet. They said I needed a new engine with a $4800 quote. I'm not paying Ford that money - I'm gonna get it fixed elsewhere. Why was there no warning of low coolant/hot engine before the damage was done?
