"Coolant entering cylinder 3. Common problem on 2.0L Turbo engine built 2017-2019."
Anonymous, TN (2018 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"In June 2024, my car wouldn't start. The motor needed replaced at 83,000 miles. Ford paid for the replacement motor. It took 5 months for them to fix it! I had to purchase a new battery because mine died while the car sat at the garage for 5 months. I had to buy another vehicle while my Ford was being repaired because I needed a car for work."
Anonymous, PA (2018 Ford Escape SEL Unsure)"Cylinder wall cracked. One cylinder was demonstrating a misfire"
Anonymous, NJ (2018 Ford Escape SE 1.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"the engine started going very slowly and then stopped completely. TSB 19-2346:2.0L states that the long block engine assembly can fail. Ford did not acknowledge their own words on paper and did not re-imburse the $8,982.52 in repair costs. I do not know where to go from here."
