This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
I was driving on the freeway taking a buddy back home because he had to get ready for work in a few hours. As we were driving, about 15 minutes into the trip the dash does a weird beep i had never heard before and it said charging system failure. So i clicked ok and then went to see what the vehicles voltage was on the in dash display. Before i could even get to that screen, another pop up occurs stating that the vehicles cooling system is over heating. I immediately pull off the freeway and pull the car over, at which point i get out and look under the hood to see that coolant has sprayed everywhere under my hood. i tried to turn it back on after it had cooled and it still had the exact same issue. So i then called AAA to come and tow me to my buddies home just so he could get to work still, however they did not have a tow truck that could seat him as well as myself for another 45 minutes. So in order to ensure my buddy got to work on top i called him a uber from where we were. Then the tow truck came and took me to the dealer. I have a lot of miles on this car already. It is really upsetting though that something like this has to happen so soon after purchasing and on top of that i am most likely going to have to cover it out of my pocket since i am over my warrantly as far as the miles go.
I have a laundry list of other smaller complaints i am going to be updating this site with because i could not find anything on the web about any issue this car has had and i can assure you that i have had plenty.

After 3 days, battery is dead. The car will not start. This is abnormal.
