8/25/2023 0 Comments Engine coolant leak repair cost![]() We noticed it's when you start driving with a "cold engine" or when you increase speed on a highway - which is a huge problem since I drive daily on the highway to work. We thought it just needed an oil change and new spark plugs. My engine trouble started in May 2022 - the rumbling, engine chugging, the feeling that your car was just going to die on your. If Ford doesn't fix this, there will never be another Ford in my driveway. I also own 3 General Motors products and all there have over 160,000 miles on each of them. These vehicles are junk and Ford is not standing behind them. I'd like to join a class action law suit. Customer Service gave me the run around and said to keep my receipt in case something changes. I towed car to a Ford dealer and was told it needed a new engine!!!! I CAN'T even repair engine!!! Dealer said they couldn't cover cost $7,000, it was up to Ford customer service. I removed number 3 spark plug and found antifreeze in number 3 cylinder. There were extreme amounts of white smoke again. I noticed the antifreeze reservoir was low. I put my code reader on it and the number 3 cylinder had misfired. I restarted it, it ran extremely rough and check engine light came on. Drove the car a few miles and turned it off. There was an extreme amount of white smoke from exhaust. ![]() On September 10 my car, 2017 Escape, 2.0L, had trouble turning the engine over. They don't want to take responsibility for this problem then they can own it.Good luck to all who have this problem My solution I am taking car back to Ford today and trade it in on a 2021 used Toyota Corolla. It may take some time before this will happen so in the mean time to fix problem is $8000. They have admitted many complaints about this issue with the 2017 Ford escape titanium but as of now no recall. We have no idea what to do if they say we are responsible for this I see that many others are in the same boat as us and plan to call the Ford dealership to inquire about recalls. We still owe 17000 on this car and now have this huge bill. We were quoted the repair would be over $7000. When we took car to the second mechanic we were shocked when we were told we needed a new engine and that coolant was found in cylinder 3 and 4 and the car had a blown head gasket. At first I thought the first mechanic had overlooked the checking of the fluid for the coolant. No signs of any leaks were found on driveway. When I checked the reservoir I found it completely empty. I found that engine coolant was a big cause. We had the car towed back to the house and I began to look online why this light would come on. One day prior to this day my wife took car to store when the engine shut off on her and a red light filled the screen saying that the engine had high heat. We made an appointment to take it in but had to wait a week until they could take it in. We asked if the car was ok to drive and was told no problem. After one day we were told that we needed to take it to a specialist because they could find any problems but said it may be the spark plugs or fuel filter but instead of guessing at what it might be to take it to another mechanic. We immediately took it in to get serviced. 2 weeks later the engine light came on and noticed the engine running ruff when starting up. In Augwe took it into our mechanic for oil change and 21 point inspection which included checking and topping off all fluids. This is my wife's car who has always taken great care of it and had it serviced every 3-4 months for oil change.
