Went into Sound Ford, my local car dealership where I purchased my car, because my check engine light was on. After they diagnosed the problem, they said it was the purge valve, coil and spark plug needing repair. After $2100 the check engine light came on again and I was back at the dealership. The tech took a look at my car again and said that coolant had gotten into the engine block, and I needed a new engine. Even though this was a known issue at FORD with this model and year of vehicle, it was not covered under the recall that FORD did because my car wasn't made under in the plant that was known to have created these issues. So after only 5 years and 80,000 miles I needed to purchase a new engine and basically there was nothing anyone could do for me.
My Son bought his first car on his own and started having to carry antifreeze because it is using a lot. We took it to Ford and was told that antifreeze was leaking into the cylinder and that is why it is using antifreeze.
Did some checking online to see if others are having this problem for 2.0 ecoboost engine and found out that it is a major problem with some of the engines. Checked with Ford and was told that they know about it but will not repair it. Come on it only has 78000 miles on it.
