2017 FORD EDGE

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn’t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford.

2016 FORD FUSION with 160000. miles

Car began running hot while on interstate and immediately slowed to 40mph in 70mph zone. Barely made it off interstate without being hit. After waiting for over an hour and filling with water i was able to make it home before it ran hot again. Codes P1299 and P0303 are showing. When i called Ford i was told they have had to fix hundreds of cars with the same problem which is internal coolant loss, overheating, and misfire of cylinder #3. This costs thousands of dollars i was told. I just fixed a faulty purge solenoid and can't afFord to pay thousands more on things Ford should have recalled!

2015 FORD FUSION with 68000.0 miles

I drove to work no problems and parked my 2015 Fusion 2.0 ecoboost. When i left work i started the car and a billow of white smoke rolled out from the exhaust when i pulled out of my parking spot. It quickly dissipated so i drove down the road a few miles. I then got an overheating warning on the dash followed by a P1299 code. When i parked the car it was idling rough so i turned it off. I let it cool down and noticed the coolant reservoir was low so i filled it up and started the car, it idled just fine, at first, with little smoke then after a few moments it started idling really rough. It sucked the coolant reservoir dry so i filled it up again and went inside. When i looked at it half an hour later the coolant reservoir was empty yet again. I then noticed a huge puddle under my car with it dripping from the muffler in the middle. I don't know the problem. I only have 68k miles.

2014 FORD ESCAPE with 89400.0 miles

Ford fixed a recall on my car regarding the coolant sensor and my car hasn't been right ever since. Same day that i brought it home the coolant sensor said coolant level low even though they had just filled it up and there was plenty of coolant in the car. Yesterday on my way home from work my car over heated and, lights on the dash said for me to pull over safely as soon as possible. The car automatically slowed down to barely 5miles/hour on it own, it would not accelerate. Now the car is not drivable as it overheats within 30 seconds of starting the car up. Dealerships near me will not service my car for another 2 weeks and they don't have a loaner car that i can use in the meantime, and on top of that it's going to have to be towed to the dealership because it's non-drivable. According to the diagnostics ran on it the code that came up was - P1299.

2013 FORD ESCAPE with 70000.0 miles

Defect code P1299 says engine overheating but just started it and it is 6 degrees outside when it happened so hardly hot.... I pulled out of work parking lot and car entered 'limp' mode - i could not even back up to get back in the work parking lot. Let it 'cool down' for 15 minutes and then tried again to get it to the dealer just 1/4 mile from my work. Died again on the main road - pulled to the side and waited another 15 minutes (did i mention it was 6 degrees?) then started and flew to the dealer and it limped the last 100 feet again. The dealer did not have time to look at it the next day so i had it towed to another service station and they found the code. But engine is not overheated...No sign of leaking or anything but the code - we wiggled all the wires on the sensors and car started and is running with no issue. ... Yet. Going to get the sensor replaced now and hope it solved the problem.

2013 FORD ESCAPE with 133331. miles

I have a Ford Escape sel 2013. I am having problems with the coolant leaking. I had an diagnostic test done and it came up saying "error code P1299, cylinder head temperature sensor detected engine overheating condition". I called Ford company and a Ford dealership to question about the sensor and was told there was no recall on my particular suv. My friend and i took to the internet to see what was wrong with the suv and under Ford and nthsa there has been recalls on this particular issue with the Ford Escape 2013 sel. We called Ford and the same dealership again and was told there is no recall for this issue on my Escape. I called nthsa and was asked for my vin number and was told also there is no recall on this part. I don't understand how my vehicle is not part of this recall when other 2013 Escape sel's are. I would like to have this further investigated because my suv is doing the same thing as the other Escape sel suv.

2007 LINCOLN MKX with 150000. miles

I recently submitted a letter to ford/Lincoln company as well as the nhtsa dated 9/11/19. I reached out to Lincoln/ford company last week in regards to stated letter and the error codes of P0356 and P1299, which has to what i have been told by (2) different care repair shops that these are common error in ford edge and Lincoln Mkx. These codes are related to the pcu module and the ignition coils not be read by the pcu module. I took the liberty of researching and i just went back to 2013 and found that over 100 other consumers have the same issue. I repaired mine twice already and its still an issue because of the pcu module , which is priced at over $800 alone. I was conversing with lisa relaford, who is the concierge service manager at Lincoln client relationship center, who basically stated that if the car is not under warranty that they can not assist with any financial assistance,. Which is clearly a lie. I have recently had a recall on my airbag and a fuel pump via Lincoln, at that time my truck was not under warranty, but they were replaced. So, that is clearly a contradiction. This is obviously a faulty part that over hundred of people have had and i am inquiring as to why it was never recalled or the part replaced. I have changed my ignition coils twice , which cost about $80 each ($160) and the idirium spark plugs that are required for my truck which cost about $20 each ($40). I would thibnk that someone, while driving whose truck loses power on the highway, ususally going at about 60 mph, is a major concern and in some ways life threating. Which is exactly what happened to me . This matter is of high importance and needs to be addressed. Please refer to the letter that was submitted in september by me and get back to me with an answer , as soon as possible because once again my truck is not driveable.
