60 thoughts onFord recalls vehicles with EcoBoost engines
In 2021 .. Our company sent our Ford 2008 F550 for a new FORD OEM 2021 motor installation at Cocalico Automotive and we spent over $29000 in tow bills and repairs. It ran for about 3 weeks total after the new ford motor installation and then broke down countless times. It spent at Cocalico Automotive for repair that they left the hood open over the winter. then finally said it needs to go to Ford for Motor warranty and the Motor is at fault. Then Ford in New Holland Pa states there is rust and they wonโt honor the warranty. But it was a brand new motor !
I am no mechanic, but feel these problems have been happening much longer than 2021 and 2022. I think that Ford and the Ford motor installers, just rarely admitted fault. We still can not use our truck.
Are the ecoboost engines different in the Escape vs the ones in the recall? Asking because I have an Escape
Because it doesnโt have the same engine as the vehicles in question. If your experiencing power loss you should definitely bring your escape to a dealership or other trustworthy mechanic.
Ford needs to include the escape and fusion in this recall. A lot of people with the 1.5 eco boost having loss of power issues too. I have a 2018 escape AWD that has issues starting up and accelerating. Iโve been working on the car myself because a mechanic quoted me nearly $4k to fix it. Meanwhile dealer said it needs a new engine. Ford should be held accountable for selling a vehicle with the engine that I see had issues going back to at least 2013 model(s) year. I was told when buying the Escape that all the issues were โfixedโ for the 2017 model year. Of course most people having issues around 60k miles. My issue started at around 85k miles.
F150 LARIAT NEED TO BE IN THIS RECALL AS WELL
2019 ford edge titanium. Transmission goes bad. I called a warrenty company and even they knew about 2019 transmission are bad. There is no known recall for this year and model.
2018 fusion 1.5L eco boost
Worst car ever. One issue after another & currently still have to pay on it while Ford donโt fix or recall the problem when they are fully aware of the problem. Itโs awful people buy โdependableโ vehicles & put their families in there that could potentially cause an accident.
2015 ford mustang ecoboost motor needs replaced
What about transmission on 2015 Ford Explorerโs! Less than 95,000 miles, and already needs replacing!
I have a 2018 ford escape se,2.0 ecoboost engine, 86,000 miles, blown head gasket
2015 and same issue
2013 Edge All wheel drive back up camera is backwards motor on the tRear whipper blades donโt work had it replaced still donโt work
I have a 2017 I had to have dealer ship put new motor in, because of the eco-boost, the anti freeze was leaking down the cylinders into the oil pan, my idiot lights was not working, not even when you started the car. My back window also imploded from the hot and cold, than you have all the recalls15. The second motor also blew, I donโt know how you can sell cars with all these problems
