OK this is part 2 of my previous issue:

January 5, 2021 we took the car into the Ford Dealership because after 20 minutes of driving the car started to shudder and jerk and hesitate. And this happened at 50 MPH. The check engine light came on and we could smell what we thought was exhaust in the car.

They used the diagnostics and determined the number two ignition coil as bad and needed to be replaced. The spark plug was also replaced. Also while the car was being diagnosed the battery died and had to be replaced. Cost $484.

*We were back at the dealership on February 8th with the same issue. This time they informed us that the number 2 and 3 cylinders were misfiring and that there was there was coolant intrusion in the engine. I was informed it would cost about $900 just to take the engine out and do further diagnostics and that the engine may need to be replaced. They only offered $375 toward the expenses.

After seeing all the remarks about the issue with the Ford Eco Boost engine, I hope they will do a recall and fix the problem. The car is currently parked in my driveway.

I was on my way home after dropping my husband off at work when my Low Tire Pressure light came on. I turned around and headed to the nearest gas station with free air. I drove for approximately another 10 minutes and was only two blocks from the gas station. I was stopped at a red light on a main road during morning rush hour. The light turned green. From a dead stop, I accelerated to about 25 mph, just got past the intersection, when the engine light came on and the vehicle suddenly lost power and the gas peddle stopped working. I only had enough momentum to make it about 50 feet before the vehicle stopped completely. Luckily, I made it almost all the way into a left turn lane. The traffic passing was so close that my car shook each time I was passed. I was terrified I'd be struck from behind by a passing vehicle.

I called the dealership to inform them of what happened and that I'd be having my car towed to the dealership. Having no idea what had happened, I wasn't sure if I'd do more damage by trying to start the car again, so I called a tow truck. The dealership did not offer to tow my vehicle for me and I had to pay $75 for the tow. After the dealership looked at the codes, they told me the Electronic Throttle Body had failed and had to be replaced. It cost me just under $400 in total for the repair. My vehicle is not under warranty anymore, so this was 100% out of pocket for me.

After doing some research online I found that many Ford owners have experienced the same problem, some even had repeated instances of the same ETB failure! I have a 2016 Ford Escape and did not see any other complaints from people with vehicles that were the same year as mine. So I figured that maybe people should know that this has been happening to Ford vehicles for years and is still happening, even with newer Fords.

The car stalled out on the freeway. Prior to stalling, the car was shaking and then stalled. This was so dangerous but thank goodness I was able to pull on the side of the highway without getting into a crash! It's very awful because it could be a potential of injures or even fatal for me or other drivers! When you buy a brand new car you expect to have no worries at least during the first 3 years or when your mileage and poor maintenance are high, but come on!! What's the sense of having a new car that could put you or your life on risk?

engine stalled when i closed the drivers door

I started my car from the passenger side today, as I placed my lunch box on the passenger seat. The car was running with the A/C on for appox. 5 min. I took off my work boots behind the car ect. Then when I got into the drivers seat the car was still running. As I closed the drivers door to get going everything just shut down. Then it started back up as if nothing had happened. Really odd and concerning considering this is happening to people while driving.
