Engine failure while driving. due to defective material or bad design of semi rigid coolant hose allowed system to boil out coolant slowly and damage engine by the time any temperature indication, and if gauge not noticed a right time, coolant boils out leaving the temp senor in air, that doesn't show as over temperature. exactly as described in the following link from ford's uk web, same engine and coolant system: https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/faqs (scroll down to see the "ecoboost 1.0 engine issues) dealer determined entire engine must be replaced. can only talk to ford customer care who only take info and send on. dealer says they can only do the same, ford told dealer since i'm "not original owner" they won't do anything. replacement part exactly the same design and material. many have had this issue. this is a defective product and remedy should not be contingent on owner, it is the product that needs fixing regardless of who owns it. *dl

My car was idling very rough at start, and was misfiring severely. no check engine lights were coming on. the problem would subside after driving for a couple of minutes, but if the car sat and was allowed to cool for any period of time, the problem would return. i immediately took it to a service center at which point the car the car would not start anymore. i went to start the car in the parking lot and it would turn over but never fire and start. after investigation the shop found the cylinder head had cracked and my spark plugs & cylinders were all full of coolant due to a leak. after minimal research i found this is a known issue of ford ecoboost engines, and there was a nationwide recall in the uk due to this issue causing cars to combust into flames while driving. however, when i contacted ford they told me there was no recall in effect for the same cars in the united states. my car is less than 5 years old and has a catastrophic engine failure that will require a complete rebuild, and could have caused a fire in the engine ...
While driving the temperature was at the highest level without any warning from the sensors. i turned around and went home and let it sit for a few days. car would not start. towed it to the dealership and they said the coolant leaked into the cylinder head and i would need a new engine. i have read other accounts where car stalled or caught on fire. this has had more attention in the uk and ford is doing something about it without issuing a recall but not doing here in the us.
Saturdat july 30, 2019my vehicle overheated.vehicle was taken in for cooling maintenance. radiator thermostat and cooling reservoir was checked. i was advised to monitor the coolant level. on aigust 10, 2019 while driving 75 mph, the temperature gauge displayed "overheating". i pulled over and opened the hood. when i open the hood the coolant was boiling. i waited 20 mins for the boiling to subside. i slowly removed the cap and the coolant level started to rise which was the same issue as before.

Takata recall my a/c started to fail with no warning. after putting my car in park, smoke started to rise from the roof and a dark color liquid (perhaps oil) started to leak from underneath the car. i took the vehicle into the ford dealership, and they concluded the coolant was low and it might have caught contact with the engine, causing it to smoke. this initial conclusion from the ford dealership than led to them claiming; the tubes had a hole, the fan needed to be replaced, and the belt was heat damaged. i purchased the vehicle in cash from the ford dealership as used, but a "ford certified" car; meaning it went through a rigorous 172 point inspection where they examine the cars coolant, engine, transmission, breaks, etc. however, this is far from the truth because months after purchasing my ford certified vehicle the transmission blew out and ford had to replace/fix it for free. i've only owned the car for a year and a half, and i've already have had two major car problems! i requested for a buyback and ford says they aren't able to do so. i am frustrated that i paid for this ...
2014 ford fiesta 47,000 miles now not only has a transmission problem but suddenly a leaking water pump. according to several car sites, there was a class action lawsuit against ford for the water pump leak. i just got off the phone from their corporate office and they are claiming that too bad, i'm out of luck and will have to pay $724 out of pocket to get it fixed. this car has had too many recalls and it was barely driven to have this problem. ford needs to pay up and make better cars. this is unacceptable. they have lost a customer for life.
