Ford 2.0L Ecoboost Engine Misfire and Coolant Consumption Issue Fix!

This should definitely fall under a recall. It's a design flaw in the engine and not the result of typical wear and tear by the customer. The company should be held responsible. It's disgusting that aren't being held responsible but instead forcing the customer to foot the bill. I'm a Ford guy but this is just unacceptable. Definitely making me change my mind on future purchases. Great video! Thank you

Issues like this should be covered regardless of miles/age! It’s obviously a design flaw, why should the customer have to pay for Ford’s poor engineering. I’m actually a Ford guy but this type of thing really gets me pissed!

Yesterday we found out our 2019 Ford Escape Titanium with 2.0L EcoBoost Engine needs to be replaced. Our Escape had the engine light come on earlier this week at 49,701 miles. We immediately got it to Rowe Ford Westbrook and it was diagnosed with several misfires, all 4 cylinders had fluid in them, and the coolant tank was almost empty. Thank goodness this is warranted and that we have an awesome dealership that has ordered a new engine. We were given a brand new Ford F150 loaner until its fixed. Thank you for showing us exactly why our engine failed. The poor design of the engine block caused the head gasket to fail. They have since redesigned this. We hope Ford has learned their lesson and stepped up to the plate with a recall. There are a lot of these engines still on the road and costing people thousands of dollars if not still under warranty.

Sounds like a Class Action Lawsuit to me.

Many other manufacturers use this kind of steam management, but the Eco-Boost has just too little "meat" for the gasket to seal. Ford should help these customers.

Thank you Brian, I always look forward to your videos. Being a tech myself, when ever I have a Ford in my stall, its nice to know that I have a solid source for good Ford info.

How does ford not cover this, it’s criminal

Whew, glad I found this video. I'm seeing early signs of this issue in my 2017 FE... How in the world does this NOT fall under a "Recall" ... Ford should cover this!

Great topic. This is a very true issue for all the manufacturers. We get calls on the dps6 daily. Tried the dorman control moduels. That is so true. You will definitely put 2 to 3 of them on before you get a good one. Recently been buying good used. The supply chain issues are definitely hurting the whole automotive repair industry and the quality control of aftermarket parts is lacking.

You scared me a bit. I have a 2 liter '15 escape 216,769 miles still runs good but i think it needs the intake cleaned like you showed. Thanks for all the great info.

The expert solves another headache!! Awesome job bruh

Always waiting to see what you have to say about the next issue ! Well Done 👍

Great info Brian..Thanks for your expertise..much appreciate your hard work man.

For a second there, I thought you filmed this video yesterday, that is my exact car with the exact mileage and the exact same problem cylinder number three ugh! It is at the local Ford dealer right now. Getting a new engine put in it covered by warranty thank goodness, at least now I know the problem will be fixed, thanks for your very informative video. You helped to put my mind at ease. Thank you.

Thank you for the info, I’m not a mechanic but I’m trying to learn how to do this myself. Know it’s not the best thing to do but it’s my only option currently my warranty ran out a month b4 the transmission went and I had it fixed for 6grand then this happened and it crushed me after spending that much on repairs. I do not have enough money to fix the car in fact I still owe on it, and it’s annoying, I’m paying thousands for a car that’s not valued more then a grand. I can’t work full time or maintain a job without a car. It has kept me up at night for almost a year now. God Bless you for your generosity!

I'm thinking of buying a 2015 fushion at the auction on tuesday. Glad to know it has the older block design.

Thank you for sharing this information. My wife's 2018 Ford Escape 2.0, 37,000 plus miles is doing fine but I plan on trading this in 2023. She wants another Ford Escape 2.0. Thanks

Thanks for showing us the difference between the old and revised blocks! I have a 2018 with 62k and so far it hasn’t went out on me… YET. But it will so it’s nice to know what to look for in the replacement engines.

I got my 2017 Escape in June of 2016 and just hit 22,000 miles. Being 72 and retired, it could outlast me anyway. If not, I live in Chicago so I might look you up!

thanks so much also showing how they fixed this issue in 2020 with getting rid of the slit between cylinders.... everyone is screaming how bad the eco boost engine is (and the old design is) but no one is saying it was fixed in 2020
