2017 Ford Escape Complaint Log

Coolant intrusion cylinder 4 no indicator light extremely low coolant level. A pressure leak down test was performed and it's getting in through the head gasket/cylinder wall.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and lost motive power. In addition, while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The check engine warning light and TPMS warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the oil, causing the engine to fail. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the residence and had not been driven since the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

My 2017 Ford Escape had the check engine light come on, on Dec 15 2024, and then it went away. It came back on on Jan 7, 2025 and I took the car in to Ford and they told me after doing a pressure test on the coolant, that I need a new engine. The cost is $9800. There was a cylinder 3 misfire and coolant was low. I have the coolant intrusion issue that is a known defect. Ford Corporate is not willing to help I was told. I had a 96 month extended warranty but it ended on 11-29-2024. The car has 93K miles and all service and repairs have been done at the Ford dealership.

I was driving home from work going through a small town so I was only going 45 MPH when my engine started to rattle and smoke started to come out and I was able to immediately pull off the road safely. I noticed straight away that the engine was leaking and would not turn back on. When I had my vehicle towed to my Ford dealership, they had informed me that my engine block was cracked and the engine threw a rod that had impacted my starter. The engine has metal shaving in it so that has to be replaced, including the starter and turbo which was going to cost me $15,000. Also my Escape was just maintenance 2 weeks prior to the event so its unfortunate that the Ford mechanics "Missed" that big crack in my engine block.

Transmission failed and burned after only 80,000 miles. Bought car used and only drove for 30,000 miles before it failed. I almost crashed on a busy road. The issue was confirmed by 2 service centers. Only 1 warning light saying oil change required the same day appeared.

The Nuna Revv we own is a rotating convertible car seat. When we first installed the car seat, we heard metallic rattling from inside the car seat and base when driving. I went to inspect the car seat and found excessive movement between the car seat and the base. This motion is well over a quarter inch of travel in all directions regardless if the car seat is in the locked or unlocked position. This movement appears to be a safety concern and I do not trust this car seat to safely restrain my child in the event of a crash. We contacted the manufacturer about our concerns and they said some movement is expected but did not quantify how much movement is acceptable between the car seat and the base. The manufacturer offered to send replacement parts, but this car seat and base are not made to be detached from each other and I find it concerning that the manufacturer expects a customer to disassemble the internals of car seat. There are also no instructions on how to remove the base in the car seat user manual. No one has inspected the car seat in person.

Vehicle burns out low beam headlights at a rapid rate. I’ve been the only owner of this car, and have replace the headlights 8 times in 168k miles. I do not drive abundantly at night, primarily during the day. In the span of the past two weeks I have replaced the headlights twice. I have come to a point that I keep spare headlights in the glove box for when they will go out again. Researching the issue online lead me to many forms of drivers with the same vehicle going through the same issue. The vehicle causing the headlights to go out at such a fast rate has presented a dangerous nighttime driving scenario when combined with the daytime running lights that give off enough light to make it unknown if the headlights are truly functioning or not. Given the consumable nature of bulbs the issue has not been taken to the dealer for, only serviced by replacement of bulbs.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine overheated. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road.

The engine blew up while driving down the road full of traffic. Smoke bellowed out of the back. I managed to move over 2 lanes to get out of the traffic into a parking light where it died. It could have been much worse as no one was hurt no colisions. we had it towed to by son's house who confirmed that a hole had been blown thru the block. It would not start. Pieces of metal and oil on the inside. It would of course not start. Other technicians have confirmed that there is a design fault in those engines that causes the engine to fail in this manner. There was mo previous warning , no oil or coolant leaks no warning signals.it is presently available for inspection but I have not taken it to a dealer because they have not offered any help other than oh well...my Vin has no recalls and they want $200 to look at it and $8500 to replace the motor. What are my options. I want to file a complaint at the least. If I get rod of the car I assume I will have no option but it's not worth that cost to repair it.

Blown Head. Is available for inspection. Check engine light came on and private mechanic noted cylinder 2 issue. Shortly thereafter car seized.

Check engine light came on while normal driving on highway and car immediately started running rough, power cutting out, engine sputtering. I immediately exited highway & pulled into a Ford dealership that was right off the highway. They hooked up a code reader & got a P0301 code error, misfire in cylinder 1. They said it could be a number of things wrong but couldn't get my car in shop for 2 weeks. Replaced spark plugs& coil, no difference, checked fuel injection & pressure seemed ok. Did some research found that there is a known issue with the 2017 escapes 1.5 liter eco boost turbo engines involving coolant leaking into cylinders causing the same exact problem I am experiencing with my vehicle. I have done regular oil changes & other maintenance on the vehicle since purchasing in 2020 and haven't had any problems really other than having to replace the water pump prematurely in my opinion at much higher costs than I have ever seen for such repair. I still owe a decent amount in the vehicle and this break engine issue is a great hardship to me personally as it is my only vehicle and is greatly hindering my ability to travel to & from work. I cannot afford a high repair bill and by my research I'm looking at a minimum of $750 and possible engine replacement at estimated $10,000 which is more than I owe & more than the car's estimated value. Ford has always been my family's preferred choice of vehicles so I'm counting on that confidence in Ford motor co to determine if my vehicle could indeed be included among the models affected by the published recalls on the 2017 escapes so that my vehicle can be repaired at no costs and I can get back on the road and otherwise avoid losing my job & having to voluntarily surrender the vehicle in lieu of repossession. I understand that repairs are sometimes required but the issue with my vehicle seems sudden with no prior warnings and with so many same model & year escapes having the exact same problem a recall seems very likely.

Vehicle had coolant intrusion in the engine causing irreversible engine damage as diagnosed by a Ford dealership's service department. Apparently this is a well known issue on these Escapes. Ford states that although there are some recalls on this vehicle for this issue, they are only covering certain VINs. I was advised by others to submit my information here in hope of Ford expanding coverage for this faulty engine. We are left with a paperweight as a result of faulty engineering and pitiful customer service.

Vehicle misfires. I have taken this vehicle to my mechanic for the same issue 3 times. Each time it has be diagnosed as cylinder 3 problem. My mechanic did an investigation and found that this particular engine has been identified as a problem motor with coolant leaks into the motor, causing failure in the cylinders. Ford has not issued a recall but is aware this is a major issue. I have to check the coolant constantly and there are not leaks in the coolant system. Mechanic has stated the only way to fix the issue is to replace the engine.

Internal coolant leak into engine

Vehicle overheated due to low coolant level. Coolant was escaping cooling system and penetrating the 1.5L engine block, which required engine removal and replacement of short engine block and cylinder heads. My case#: CXH03199782 Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin (#20-0010) which covered the cost of this repair through November, 30, 2022. This is a known problem caused by poor design of the cooling system. Ford will not cover the cost (over $5,000) for the engine repair now, even though I work at a Ford dealership. I had purchased my 2017 Ford Escape pre-owned in 2022 from a Hyundai dealership. Did they have an obligation to disclose that service bulletin to me?

Coolant is leaking internally into motor. All gaskets, seals, hoses and radiator are operational with no issues. This is a hazzard and could/will result in damage and potentially serious harm. Dealer has indicated everything checks out and leak is internal intrusion. This is a known issue with Ford and they are unwilling to correct

Coolant leaking into the cylinders. This issue is linked to the engine's open deck cooling design, which can cause premature gasket failure or cracks between cylinders. Coolant is leaking into the cylinders and Ford knew about the design defect and did not issue a recall. Request NHTSA issue a recall.

2017 Ford Escape SE Ecoboost engine failure. Check engine light came on, engine did not overheat, but continued to misfire and make strange noises and motions during idling. After diagnostics, it was seen as a coolant leak issue, they later found pistons in my oil pan. Cost is $11,000 and they won't help cover any cost despite class action lawsuits and recall campaign. My car is out of warranty by year. I only have 78,000 miles on it, again should not be happening to a vehicle with this mileage. This is an obvious manufacturer issue and huge safety issue that Ford should be held accountable for.

2017 Ford Escape SE Ecoboost engine. Engine gasket broken. Vehicle only has 78,000 miles on it. Just out of the original warranty range. Consequently piston pieces ended up in the oil pan, ruining my engine. Dealership wants us to pay for it, $11,000. This is a common manufacturer problem that I've seen reported, there is potentially a campaign to get this recalled. I've also researched to where there is class action lawsuits against it. It is currently at Walker Ford in Clearwater, FL.

The car experienced a sudden loss of boost power and, at the same time, and MUCH more concerning and dangerous, a total loss of brake power assist. The brakes were firm (hard), but had ZERO power assist, and I could barely stop the car at idle in my driveway, much less on a highway or open road. I thank God that my son, who was driving at the time, was not in a dangerous situation when this failure occurred. It turns out, a single vacuum pump, mated directly to the camshaft, applies vacuum boost to the turbo (power loss) and brakes (catastrophic brake failure). I replaced the vacuum pump, but the problem persisted, so I had to take it in to the dealership for evaluation. I was told the problem is the bolt that mates the vacuum pump to the cam shears off when the vacuum pump seizes. I subsequently read of many cases of this problem on the Escape, but also on the F-150 (for which there is apparently a recall???) -- really, any Ford with an Ecoboost turbo engine. Additionally, the bolt shearing and vacuum pump disintegrating, leads to metal shavings that destroy the turbo. How this VERY serious road hazard caused by a terrible engineering design flaw (single point of catastrophic failure) hasn't resulted in a MAJOR safety recall for all these Ford Ecoboost engines is totally shocking and beyond me. This is coming from an engineer who has spent 50+ years working on cars. NHTSA has absolutely failed in not addressing this terrible safety and design problem.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that upon starting and driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle hesitated with a misfire in cylinder #2. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the engine. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

2017 Ford Escape with 66,000 miles, garage kept, well maintained. My steering wheel started to shake when shifting from park to drive but after idling for 30 seconds in park it was perfectly fine. Check engine light comes on, take it to a Ford dealer and they tell me the engine has a small coolant leak and the shaking was because the coolant was soaking a spark plug and it was burning it off. They told me the only repair they could do was replacing the engine for $10,000 or I could trade it/sell it to them and get $2,500 for it. And it is not covered by warranty and not recalled, but a known issue in these models/years. In this day and age a car should last more than 7 years and I’m not sure I understand if it’s a known issue why it isn’t recalled. Now I’m expected to pay out for something that was an engine defect and nothing I did/created as the driver. We are taking the $2,500 and never buying a Ford again.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the steering wheel became stiff and failed to turn to right while attempting to enter a McDonald's parking lot.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

UNKOWN Was Driving my sons car to dealership, because there was an oil leak and transmission fluid leak. I checked the levels before i left and made sure everything was up to the required levels. After leaving it, I got a call a few days later and they told me they were surprised the car didn't catch on fire due to how bad the issue was. The dealership called in the warranty claim to car shield which I have a contract with and they told me it was denied because there was a technical service bulletin number 22-2229 released on June 9'th 2022 stating the following "Summary This article supersedes TSB 22-2133 to update the Parts List. Issue: Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the long block engine assembly." Carshield told me the reason there wasn't a recall about this was because there are no safety concerns with this type of issue, but as I was told by the dealership they were surprised my car didn't explode as I was driving it there, I thought I should make you aware of this before a serious accident really does happen to someone. I feel there should be a recall out on this vehicle to address the issue before someone does get hurt. I am not happy with Carshield obviously, because they denied my claim for something I feel should be covered, but I feel this is a serious safety concern for individuals trying this type of vehicle. Thank you

Engine service lights on and overheated. Replaced fan clutch, but same issue a week later. Repair shop stated coolant leaked into cylinder, needs engine replaced. I see online that others have had the same issue with 2017 Ford Escapes. I checked with Ford, they said to reach out to you for financial assistance as a safety issue since it is a known issue.

Engine design is flawed and has a known coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Ford only issued a tsb for this and not recall. I’m the second owner so I have no way to remedy this now as the mileage is over what ford offers. Ford should be covering their bad design. At this point I’m stuck with it since it would cost me about the cost of what I paid for this vehicle.
