My engine is overheating, causing my steering wheel to jerk while on the highway. Took to dealership and they said loss of coolant and could potentially cause a fire if not treated. Looked online and saw that Ford is aware of the problem but will not correct it. The dealership is asking me to pay $8,000 to fix it for Ford initially putting in a faulty engine. I had to stop my car because smoke was coming out the tailpipe. The car isn-??t safe to drive.

In April 2022 my steering wheel started jerking and I felt my car starting to drive unusual. By the end of April my check engine light was on so I went and got it checked out. Code P0217, P0302, P0316 showed up. I thought this must be a mistake so I took it to the dealership for another look and they told me that this is a common problem with my vehicle and I got the short end of the stick with this vehicle. THE LONG BLOCK NEEDS REPLACING FOR COOLANT INTRUSION INTO CYLINDER 2. I need a brand new engine.

Purchased cpo with 38K miles on it. A week after owning smoke emitted from exhaust, check engine light came on and car was rough to start, idling hard. Car melted strongly of antifreeze but no visible leaks. Lincoln did inspection and says needs a new engine due to coolant leaking into cylinders and pistons failing. Engine is on backorder for two months. This seems to be a known problem. We are extremely unhappy. Haven't even had the car two weeks before this started happening. We want out of this car!

Power loss when accelerating hard on the freeway (65mph+). power is significantly reduced, making me a hazard on the road! the vehicle continues to 'limp' until car is turned off and restarted. When I took it to the garage, the valves were found to have major carbon buildup and the #1 cylinder had a cracked spark plug.

Vehicle stalls/loses power once fuel reaches below half tank of gas. Ford has issued tsb's on this very issue on many of their other engines, but I've been unable to find a tsb for this issue for my vehicle specifically. Here is the tsb for Ford Focus's with this issue: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Ford Focus vehicles with a 2.0L gdi or 2.0L gtdi engine. The canister purge valve (cpv) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. Tsb # 18S32. When pressure is being released from the gas tank via the fuel door opening, gas sprays out of the opening and goers stuck/hardened to exterior of car.

While driving in heavy traffic on the interstate attempted to change lanes and accelerate, car suddenly lost power and the "see manual" light illuminated with tool - fortunately was able to coast car off exit ramp safely and pull over, at which point the engine chugged and stalled. First restart "see manual" light still on, sputtered and stalled. Turned off vehicle. 2nd attempt same as 1st. 3rd came on and ran without engine light and seemed to rev up higher than normal, then came back down. No other indications appeared other than "no use of auto brake available"
