On Aug 10, 2017, our 2010 Ford Flex was struggling to go up a hill while the cruise was set. On the next hill, the engine began to shudder aggressively. At the bottom of the hill, we pulled into a local store. The engine was turned off, then back on with the same result. When in neutral, it seemed to shudder less at higher RPM's. The vehicle was not driven after this point and towed on a flatbed truck by CAA to a repair shop in Trenton, Ontario. Upon inspection, there was oil found on the spark plugs and the truck was smoking heavily out the tail pipe. Upon completing a compression test, there was no compression in cylinder 2. A new engine was advised. This vehicle has been serviced regularly with scheduled oil changes completed on time. When reviewing forums of other Flex owners, this seems to be a recurring problem in the ecoboost engine, catastrophic failure of the engine and no compression in a cylinder. I am unsure of the status of the coolant, but this appears to be related in many instances. Repairs are upwards of $10K CDN for a new engine and the required 2 turbos. This is unacceptable and I would like compensation for this obvious defect in the engines, otherwise, we will be pursuing class action lawsuit.
