20k miles on this engine and it broke down on the highway doing 70 mph. Suddenly it started losing power and sputtering, then the check engine light came on. Had it towed back to the dealership. Car turned on and off - it's not the battery, alternator or electrical. Replaced spark plugs, wires, coils, etc... but nothing. 2 cylinders are misfiring and 1 is not firing at all. It has now been at the Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks with no resolution in sight. I mentioned the Ford service bulletin for this engine regarding leaking coolant and the service manager assured me that was not the issue.
It seems to me there is a bigger problem with this engine than Ford is owning up to, considering like many people on this page, the next steps will a full engine replacement. I am then concerned that if a recall is not issued, I will just get another "faulty" engine that will be back in the shop after a few thousand miles.
I had the car for 3 weeks and I'm being told it will be a month or longer before I get it back. This is beyond just a consumer complaint, there is certainly action that needs to be taken on Ford's behalf.
Update from Oct 25, 2019: Update I received a call today that the entire engine needs to be replaced. Oh, but there's a back order on engines because everyone else's Escape engines are bad too. So in 2 months - maybe - I will have another faulty Ford engine that will start sputtering after 20k miles. WHY is there no recall?
