2017 Ford Escape Engine Problems

Your car experienced multiple cooling system and engine issues. After initial repairs for a leaking auxiliary water pump and faulty ignition coils, your car developed a severe internal coolant leak that caused the engine to overheat, with no visible coolant leaking underneath—indicating the leak is inside the engine itself. Your mechanic determined the engine block needs to be replaced, which requires extensive repairs costing over $10,000 and leaving your car undrivable for at least two weeks. This repair will likely involve removing and rebuilding or replacing the engine block, cylinder head, and related cooling components.

Your engine may have a coolant leak that allows coolant to enter where it shouldn't, potentially causing serious internal damage. This appears to be a known defect affecting multiple vehicles of this model year. You may eventually need a complete engine replacement to fix this problem.

Your engine started sputtering and lost acceleration while driving, with a warning light appearing on your dashboard. The problem was caused by coolant entering the engine, which is a known issue with this model that typically requires a complete engine replacement. Ford has not issued a recall for this defect, leaving owners responsible for the full repair cost.

I experienced a sudden and unexpected water pump failure on my 2017 Ford Escape while driving in active traffic. The failure occurred without warning and resulted in rapid coolant loss and engine overheating, causing the vehicle to lose power while in motion. This created a hazardous driving condition and required me to pull over to avoid a potential collision.

Prior to a transmission recall repair, my vehicle experienced severe drivability issues, including sudden jerking while driving, loss of power on the highway, unexpected stopping, and shutting off at traffic lights. These incidents nearly caused multiple accidents and placed me and others at serious risk. The transmission was later replaced under recall by a Ford dealership.
