My dad just bought one of these with approx. 70k miles. Gonna make sure I mention this to him tomorrow before he takes it to the ford dealer to get that recalled transmission bushing part replaced, so they can make sure the seals are alright and coolant wont get in. Would hate to see that thing break on him, he was really lucky to get one at an auctiom for 6300 that was pretty meticulously maintained and serviced regularly. Thanks for making this video!!
-
Had this problem happen to me at 38k miles. Thankfully was saved for the first time by the warranty
-
Replacing the long block is cheaper than buying a new car. I just had this problem at 62k miles 😫 probably just get a new car but this sucks. Thanks so much for the information very helpful video.
-
Looking at the ctlinder de k, I'd say most if not all will need a replacement block.
-
At least where I live this problem has been taken care of. We have a 2018 Escape SEL. Bought it with 3400 miles. During the first 7000 miles it leaked half the coolant into cylinder #2 and burned it. Ford replaced the short block assembly and the warranty continues. Fair enough. The thing to take from this is the issue is defective engine blocks, very unlike Ford. Henry Ford was all about durability.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. My 2017 2.0 long block was replaced at 32,000 miles. Didn't have to pay a dime and the dealer was lucky enough to get a long block fairly quickly. The 1.5's were on back-order, so like 6 of them were waiting on short blocks. From what I understand, a long block is alot easier to swap. A short block is kinda a PITA.

U r such a great tech u will b successful wherever u go. Ford might not like your honesty. This channel will grow like crazy!!
-
Great video and well explained. So it doesn't affect the 2013 1.5 ford fusion engine?
-
Thanks...a true revelation
-
Sorry to hear that for the rest of you. 2018 escape 1.5 here with 65,000 miles and not a hiccup one
-
Damnnn I really wanted to pick up a blacked out escape but I don’t think I can take the risk with the 1.5L. Any idea on how hard/expensive it would be to drop a 2.5L in? Thanks! Really enjoying your content man gives a great insight
-
If I have this engine in my 2018 Fusion SE, but have yet to have any symptoms from this particular issue, would the way I drive make a difference? Or is it just inevitable??
-
I have fixed it with a little hole on coolant cap. Coolant goes without pressure, the leaking has stopped. I use one that starts boiling at 138°C, so no problem about no pressure, no need of changing anything, just a hole. 1.5 ecoboost with 80k milles and running good.
-
yep, I blame all my 2017 ford fusion se 1.5 eco boost problems on you! should've made this video before July 2020 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for all the info lol
-
On the positive side the coolant into the cylinders keeps the combustion chamber and valves nice and clean which is beneficial for the direct injection turbo engine.
-
84,000 trouble free miles on my 18 escape with the 1.5. Traded in a 17 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 for it. That ecoboost would put that 2.0 Hyundai to shame any day. Such a snappy little engine. I love that escape.
-
I had one this week should be wrapped up Monday morning
-
I owe you an apology Mason. My 2018 Ford Fusion 1.5 liter piece of $hit had coolant intrusion into the short block and the Ford delearship is now giving me a new engine. Luckily its still under warranty. You were absolutely right.
-
I watched your video at work. Yes at Ford🙂. Got home said babe get your car we going to go trade it in and get you a new bronco. Yes she is very happy. Thanks for the update
-
Is there and prevention to this like just changing your head gasket before the problem arrises? Or will coolant just leak into them cylinders whenever it pleases no matter what ya do:(
