Within the last 6 weeks the engine had run rough a couple of times and check engine light had come on, my mechanic ran the code which was for misfiring, it stopped happening and the light went off though it turned on and off 1-2 more times over the next few weeks. On July 4th, while driving, I got a large warning that the engine was overheating and to pull to the side of the road. Thankfully I was in a place where I could safely do this though I was about 3 minutes from getting on a major highway and it was midday. To me this is a major safety issue as I could have at minimum been stranded anywhere at any time of day or night. I was able to get the car to my local mechanic a couple of days later and they confirmed that the coolant was almost gone and was leaking into cylinder 4 and that at least one of the codes from the engine light matched that listed on a Ford issued Technical Service Bulletin about the coolant issue. Since I can't afford to be stranded I have gotten a rental car and have not been driving it to take it to a Ford dealer yet. But based on research, this is a known issue and the TSB solution is to replace the short block and the head gasket which will cost me several thousand dollars since Ford will not cover saying it is out of warranty.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
