I took it to the dealership in diberville, MS first and scheduled the current recalls to be fixed.  I was told my engine needs to be replaced because there is evidence of coolant in the cylinder head causing a random misfire but couldn’t tell me if that was it for sure without breaking down the engine to diagnosis properly.  I bought an extended warranty policy incase there was an issue in the future. I was actually told by one dealer to “clear the code and trade it in immediately or wait till the engine blows up”. They didn’t even fix the recall because they had to order the parts… The same problem kept happening randomly this time with the engine light coming on and then going off while I am waiting parts to come in, it was a “cold start” type of engine sound when starting up first thing in the morning. I then took it to the dealership in Gulfport,ms and they said they thought they knew what the problem was and my extended warranty would cover it. Turns out they do not cover the block and that is what the mechanics said the issue was, because it is not a moving part and it seems to be a manufacturer quality of the block. Since it was not caused by moving part damage. How can I get this addressed by ford? I have seen that a similar engine from ford had a recall for this and my engine has the same block as that one. (2.0 ecoboost ford escape) I have the 2.3 ecoboost ford explorer. I also have knowledge of another explorer with the same issues and a total engine replacement through diberville MS dealership. My car still runs but the cylinder no longer builds or sustains the pressure for the engine to run properly causing a safety risk during operation.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"EXPLORER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
