The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact replaced the spark plugs; however, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they replaced the vacuum pump and hoses. A few weeks later, the check engine warning light returned and the vehicle failed to start up after several attempts. The contact also noticed that coolant needed to be added more frequently to the reservoir. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was discovered that coolant leaked into the cylinders resulting in engine failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 17V209000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that her vehicle was not included in the recall; the contact was then referred to the federal safety agency for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.

Car displayed low coolant on display. Added coolant and coolant light went away. A few days later, the check engine light came on and the car could not drive faster than 20 MPH. Took to the ford dealership and was informed that the cooling system had overheated and caused the oil to end up in the cylinder. The cooling system overheated 1.5 years ago and had the thermostat replaced under warranty. Now vehicle has 71,000 miles and out of warranty. Ford dealer says that the whole engine needs to be replaced. It has 1.0l ecoboost engine which apparently has many issues.

My engine blew a head gasket because of the engine overheated. The cooling system overheated. So I had to purchase another motor for my vehicle. The motor that was installed is doing the same thing. The cooling system is overheating and when it does I have to stop the car and wait until it cools off. I am not satisfied with this vehicle. I am paying for a vehicle and cannot drive it a long distance without it overheating. I drive 50 miles from my job and cannot drive my vehicle that length of distances without my gauge showing overheating. Attached to this is a copy of the invoice that shows proof that I have had another motor installed and the reason it was installed.

Pulling into driveway vehicle runs hot. Everything points to coolant sensor reading incorrectly. Search recalls and find that my vehicle isn't effected yet there is a safety recall for same vehicle and engine size using the same exact sensor. Worked for ford for 20 years. How and why are you allowing for to lie as to the problem with a potential fire being a head gasket and not the faulty sensor that is having to be replaced? Let me answer that. So they do not have to recall every single car that has the sensor which is every single one. Let's add to this the fact that ford can then claim that everyone left with an overheated engine with cracked heads is responsible for the damage and not the sensor that incorrectly adjust for the system pressure and incorrectly reads the temps. Thanks, thanks for looking out for the consumer. Now I am left with the choice of paying off 7grand on practically new model or replace the engine...and sensor of course.
