I have barely had my car now for 2 years and have had nothing but problems with it since the day I bought it it spends more time in the shop then any other vehicle I’ve owned! I’ve had to relaxed the coils 8 times now in the past year 5 of them in the past 5 months! The coolant continues to leak into the fuel system calling it an COOLANT INTRUSION which is causing havoc on my cold my engine my catalic converter to get extremely hot and causing my coils to burn and melt leaving me stranded alone on dark freeways costing me hundreds now thousands from having to have it towed to time in the shop parts and labour not to mention countless hours and days missed off work unable to get there or being late already lost one job and on the verge of losing another! The lady 2 coils that I had to replace weren’t lasting more than a week to a few days! I know there are countless complaints about this issue and major problem! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT YET WHY ISN’T THIS BEEN RECALLED ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEIR STATUS ON FIRE AND BLOWS UP?? I’m ready to start Law suit this is not right nor ok! We trust these manufacturers to build safe reliable vehicles and if not then they need to replace or repair them! This is the only vehicle I have and I’m disabled and can’t just go out and buy a new car let alone continue to pay for repairs I shouldn’t ever have to pay for over and over again! Please help?! You want dates? I have several dates!

The check engine light came on while the vehicle was being driven during a vacation. This happened after the vehicle had a maintenance-required tune-up performed by the dealership on May 19, 2026. The vehicle was not having performance issues at the time, but I did not want to drive home with the check engine light on. The very next business day, I took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The dealership advised me that the vehicle had coolant intrusion involving cylinder 4 and that the engine would need to be replaced. Because this was a serious diagnosis, I then took the vehicle to another reputable automotive repair shop for a second opinion. That shop also advised that the engine needed to be replaced due to the coolant intrusion issue. This creates a safety concern because coolant intrusion can lead to misfires, engine damage, overheating, loss of power, stalling, or engine failure while the vehicle is being driven. I was more than 250 miles from home and had to avoid driving the vehicle because of the risk of further engine damage or possible failure on the road. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue was inspected by the dealership and by an independent automotive repair shop. No crash, fire, injury, or death occurred. The check engine light came on while driving during a vacation. No other warning message is known at this time.

The vehicle experienced engine failure due to coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders. The issue presented with engine misfire, including diagnostic trouble code P0302, rough running, and coolant entering the combustion chamber. The condition was confirmed by a dealership, which determined that the engine has internal damage and requires full engine replacement. There were no external coolant leaks observed. This failure occurred at approximately 88,000 miles and was not consistent with normal wear and tear. The issue developed without significant prior warning other than engine misfire and rough operation. This condition may create a safety risk, as engine misfire and internal damage can lead to loss of power, reduced vehicle performance, or potential engine stall while driving. Technical Service Bulletins have been issued for similar vehicles equipped with the same engine, including TSB 19-2172, TSB 19-2208, and TSB 22-2229, which describe coolant intrusion into engine cylinders and require engine replacement. This suggests the issue is not isolated and may affect other vehicles with the same engine design.

The coils kept popping up check engine light. And turns out it was an injector failing, and cause my car to jerk a lot, and not accelerate when needing. My car would almost try to stop accelerating while on highway and jerk so much that it felt like I was going to wreck on the middle of a freeway.

The problem began in early August 2025 when the check engine light came on and the vehicle misfired. A Ford mobile technician inspected it before 8/23/25, confirmed Diagnostic Code P0303 (Cylinder 3 Misfire), but said it was likely just a bad ignition coil. Based on that, I went to Midas on 8/23/25 for a tune-up and coil check. On 9/29/25, the check engine light returned and for the first time the coolant over-temperature warning illuminated. Midas confirmed coolant intrusion into Cylinder 3: borescope and pressure test showed leakage, leak-down test failed with air entering the coolant reservoir, and visible coolant loss was present. At 80,445 miles, the engine was deemed unsafe and required full replacement. Hawk Ford confirmed no warranty extensions or programs applied. The repair cost was $10,500 out of pocket. This defect matches Ford TSB [XXX] , is widely reported in EcoBoost engines, and creates a serious safety risk since the vehicle misfires, overheats, and may stall while driving.
