Shortly afterward, the check engine light began flashing. I immediately stopped driving the vehicle and had it inspected by an independent repair shop.  The shop diagnosed the vehicle with a cracked engine related to coolant intrusion, requiring an engine rebuild estimated at approximately $4,000. The vehicle is currently inoperable and remains at the repair shop awaiting repairs.  The vehicle has approximately 84,000 miles. I contacted Ford and opened a customer assistance case requesting goodwill assistance because I understand there have been widespread reports of coolant intrusion and engine failure involving the 1.5L EcoBoost engine. My request was denied.  I am submitting this report because I believe a sudden engine failure accompanied by heavy white smoke and a flashing check engine light presents a potential safety concern and may be related to a defect affecting other vehicles with the same engine.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
