The vehicle had been experiencing an intermittent engine light, coolant loss x 3-4 months, rough start up, and white exhaust. An OBD code of P0302 was noted one week prior to the dealership appointment and was verified during the inspection. The dealership performed a cooling system pressure test and borescope on the cylinders, and identified coolant intrusion. Along block replacement was recommended at a cost of $7900. I contacted Ford Motor Company for help, as this is a known engineering flaw of the Ecoboost engines that causes (per Ford Motor Company) coolant intrusion in the 2015-2019 Escapes. My extended warranty had expired, and I still owe ~$8500 on my auto loan. I was told there was no help available for me, but to keep receipts in the event of an issued recall. I continued to keep my coolant reservoir filled after each trip ( I have a 35 minute trip to and from work), and the dashboard indicators all came on 2 weeks ago while driving to work (had no other option except to keep using my vehicle). The engine will now not turn over. Luckily, I now have a family member's car for driving to/from work. My question is when will Ford finally issue a recall for the 1.6 & 2.0L Escape engines, as they did in 2022 for the 1.5L engines?? Lots of folks out there with these engines are in the same boat as me, unless the engine is still under warranty. And coolant mixing with the engine oil after the head gasket fails? A fire hazard, correct?  Ford needs to step up and take responsibility for this issue already. I have been a loyal customer (my Escape is my 5th Ford vehicle) and have always followed manufacturer recommendations. This will be my last Ford vehicle for sure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
