Upon startup my car began to buck/idle roughly. Then my check engine light came on. I brought it in to be checked and was told that I had a cylinder 3 misfire. All coils and spark plugs were replaced at that time. The rough idling returned 2 days later and when checked the mechanic informed me that it may be a coolant intrusion. He kept it over night and sure enough he found a coolant Intrusion in cylinder 3. Per Ford, replacement of engine is necessary. Of course I was shocked to read that this has been a major known issue that Ford is aware of and not correcting. I read online that \u201cwhile not officially recalled, many 1.5L and 2.OL EcoBoost engines in this model year are known for a design flaw that allows coolant to leak into the cylinders. This often results in rough idling, white exhaust smoke, or total engine failure. If you experience these symptoms, contact your local dealership or an independent mechanic, as it may be covered under a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB).\u201d The TSB # I was given is 22-2229. The Ford dealership is now wanting me to pay over $11,000 for a new engine on a 9 year old car. I only have 50,000 miles on it and take amazing care of my Escape. It looks brand new still. I think it is absolutely absurd that Ford has not recalled all 2017 Escapes to fix this manufacture defect! They are leaving consumers to pay completely out of pocket and it has made me never want to buy a Ford product again!","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
