Ford EcoBoost Engine Replacement Issue with These Model Years You Need to Know

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer I just put a motor in for this problem with eco boost coolant problem

I have 2015 Ford focus eco boost with only 31,484 miles and is sitting can't drive and still owe on death trap! Cannot get anyone to do the right thing. I have over $12,000.00 and still owe and cannot drive. I am just asking for buy back. Almost died on highway and have reported to Ford Corp, NHSTA and FTC and still nothing. I just want Ford to do the right thing!!

"...due to design engineers trying to improve on a design that already works to improve its performance, it can sometimes turn into one of those 'the best laid plans of mice and men' type of thing..."

With all due respect to the author, the quote above is pure jibberish and needs to be rewritten. The editor should never have allowed such a meaningless, ridiculous sentence.

James, were you offended? Go pound sand, Karen!

I just reached 75,000 miles, went for a ride on the highway round trip less than 100 miles. On the return trip my car was not accelerating like it’s supposed to. At first, I thought maybe my foot is not on the gas pedal. It wasn’t me it was the car. I was so scared and prayed all the way home. Thankfully I made it safely. I get my car towed to Ford shop, they did a diagnostic, came back with crank shaft and cam shaft code, they asked if they could take valve cover off to check for slug. I said yes, then they came back with “jump engine” I asked what does that mean and the said I need a new engine. What.??? My suv is a 2016 that I purchased in 2018. The Certified Warranty expired in October 2022. I asked what caused this, the reply “this happens”. The repair bill is quoted $7,900. This doesn’t make sense. I have no car, there's no loaner available AND a new engine was ordered and it’s going to take a month to arrive. What do a person do when you invest in a supposedly good American made car and your engine goes?

My daughter just had her 2016 Edge looked at, same issue. I talked to the guys at the shop, I've done business with them for 35 years, and they said they've done 3 replacements in the last couple weeks and they were all 2016 And fairly close in VIN numbers....

I bought a 2015 ford edge titanium in June of 2016 in March of 2018 it broke down I was told the flex plate broke and it took out my motor I took it to ford in dushore pa where they replaced my motor at 72k miles and charged me 5400 bucks because I was 3 months out of warranty. I proceeded to have the same issue occur but I knew the sound to look for and got it "fixed" before my engine went again. Now I have been in limp mode for over a year and it's coming up turbo issue but somehow I do not have a turbo. How does that happen??? Nothing but issues with this vehicle. I contacted ford corporate when it happened they told me verbatim " oh if you were a more loyal customer we would help you like if you bought 7 or 8 brand new ford's I was 32 at the time that would have been a brand new ford every 2 years from the time I was 21. I've had it to shops that have had it for 3 weeks then told me to come pick it up because they couldn't tell what the issue was. And how was it not caught the 2nd and 3rd time I had to have the same issue fixed. Disgusted

What does Ford plan to do? Will they pay to replace a 2.0 eco boost engine in a 2018 Ford Edge with 53,000 miles on it. I certainly cannot afford to replace the engine, I am still making payments on it. The Ford motor company should stand behind their products.

I bought a used Ford Edge. I was told about the active recalls and took it to the Ford Dealership and they are saying Ford or my warranty won't cover it. They say anything over 100000 miles they won't cover I bought the car with 99106 miles. I've looked up the guidelines on Ford recalls and seeing it's the Flex plate which is a safety recall they are required too fix it at no cost but the Ford dealership is statijg they won't pay for it.

Dealer says we have to.replace the engine

I have a 2016 Ford Edge. In November 2022 (with approx 114,000 miles), I had the acceleration problem and white smoke. The local dealer diagnosed it as needing valve cover and gasket replacement with a few other smaller issues. I learned of al the issues with this engine and contacted Ford Corporation. They paid 80% of my bill. However, the local dealer took over 3 months to get the job done! I said many times that I suspected it would need a new engine. They test drove it for 60 miles after their repairs and said no lights were on so it was good. I drove it for 2 weeks and the engine light came on. Yes, I needed a new engine. It has now been with the local dealer for over 3 weeks and still not complete. I contacted Ford Corp again and they said it's "not related" to the first issue and basically gave me a run around. They are paying 60% of my bill this time. I said many times this should be a recall!

So, I, too, have the dreaded 2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L EcoBoost.
I have driven this car like a grandma. I have only now just hit 52k. I have kept perfect maintenance. And now I'm. looking at a car w misfires in cylinder 3 and 4, they replaced my spark plugs. coils were ok, and replaced fuel injector on 4. Did a leak down test bec codes will still wonky. c
Compression still messed up on 3 and 4. Air escaping from piston rings. Told I need a rebuild of top of engine; valve job, etc. $5500. gtfo, r u kidding??!!
Of course my car has been paid off, I got a great deal bec of Ford A plan. And now, the car I took such good care of has me in a nice spot. I am about to call Ford tomorrow and see what they say, threaten lawsuit if needed bec this is ultimately their engineering issue. It's funny bec my mechanic told me 2 years ago, he noticed coolant missing but couldn't figure out why. And he nor I wasnt troubled by it bec the car ran well, no smoke, no temps issues, no check engine ligh ever. I thought I had my dream car. Wish I had known about these ecoboost motors previously. They seem to be junk from all I've read. I'm prob gonna get a rebuilt w this issue resolved in it and hope the great warranty on the motor out lasts me driving the car. But I am going to persue Ford and the class action lawsuit bec this should not happen. BTw, when I called the dealer to make an appt when the check engine light came on...service guy immediately tells me its a coolant intrusion issue as soon as I tell him model and motor. What a joke. He said it was a 5 week wait for service. So disgusted.

I had to replace my 2017 ford fussion 2.0 engine out of pocket. Does anyone know if or when ford will start replacing or paying for the replacement engine it only had 40,000 miles on it

Ford! My grandparents, uncle, mom, etc are all life long ford customers..until now..: just out of college trying to make it on my own and my new/used 2015 Fusion 2.0 eco has the same issue at 111,067 miles and only 13 months into loan… I can not afford the repair!!! Any suggestions on how to best cut my loss? Or get help with costs?

I purchased my 2016 Fusion 1.5L EcoBoost in July 2019 with 30,000 miles. In August 2020, low coolant light went on. Antifreeze was extremely low but there were no apparent leaks. Added coolant. In September 2020, engine light went on. Our local mechanic said cylinder 3 was misfiring. We brought it to Ford dealer in October 2020 to be told there's coolant intrusion and needed engine replacement. Car was at 54,000 miles. The warranty I purchased with car covered full replacement. I thought it was a fluke. Fast forward to August 2023, with 42,000 on NEW engine, same exact situation. EXACT. Except this time warranty won't cover it because I have 96,000 total miles on car and my warranty expired 6,000 miles ago. Ford Corp won't help because I'm beyond the time and the 84,000 mileage limit they had with their customer service one-time replacement program that, unbeknownst to me, went out in June 2022.
So I've owned the car for 4 years and it now needs a 3rd engine for $8500 which is more than the resale value of the car. It's sitting in my driveway. Don't know what to do. And still have 10 months on my loan. So frustrating.

I have a 2017 2.0 with 105k miles. After trying to diagnose the issue for over a year, even taking it to Ford, it finally blew a head gasket I guess and white smoke just came billowing out of the exhaust (took it several minutes to stop even after turning the engine off). Somebody alerted me to this issue and I had it towed to Ford and quoted the TSB. It does seem to be the exact issue and I need a new engine. Turns out I am lucky enough to have purchased an extended warranty but am waiting on Ford Corporate to respond to the dealer and approve the repair. Should they be paying the entire cost or might I still be hit with a several thousand dollar bill?

2016 Ford Explorer 2.3L under 50,000 mileage. Got exact same problem: coolant leaking into the engine. Dealer quoted $12k for engine replacement. Ford says not our problem. This is ridiculous!!!!
