So dont let them fool you into thinking they are a reasonable choice for a vehicle when there are other options out there The engines should not be failing so early, it is poor design, and partly luck.

Injectors, fuel tank, tank pump, water-separator, fuel filters, fuel line, fuel rail, EVERYTHING. In the event that the failure damages the engine, you may have to replace it also.

Poor lady. The kms on the dash stay the same even if the motors been changed!

[@mrjim1973]

Stay away from all Ecoboost engines! Especially the 2.7! Naturally Aspirated engines are your best bet regardless of the manufacturer. Direct injection systems are also very troublesome! They have carbon issues. Multi port, naturally aspirated engines are the most reliable. Highly recommend a quality used car today. 1998-2014 are some of the best built cars & trucks.

[@Rusty-wheel]

I think you should check your facts....2.7 has less issues than 5.0 and 3.5

These companies need to be forced by law to stand behind their cheap built poorly designed junk parts and labor included

I gave up on Ford! I lost my 2017 Ford Escape at 122k miles due to engine failure. I put the money the engine replacement would cost and put it down on a 2023 Subaru Forester.

[@woohunter1]

I have a 2019 Tacoma and a 2022 Mustang GT, one of these is very fun, the other one is practical and extremely reliable.

[@sporttourersss]

I've owned fords for decades, but after reading about all their problems and lack of responsiveness I bought a new Mazda last month.

[@bluelightguy1]

Have you driven a ford lately

[@nikm4253]

Still no replacement for displacement

[@davidhollfelder9940]

Turbocharging smaller engines are inherently problematic. The EPA is too restrictive and needs to roll back standards, allowing the re-introduction of the classic, reliable and more cost effective, naturally aspirated engines.

[@javierjavier7291]

$60,000 paper weight lol I have one also in a form of a Chevy Volt…. 105,000 miles and they casually tell me it needs a new battery at $20,000 plus installation 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@NickChemist-yf6oj]

Do your research . Chevy Volts are not great cars …

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

More proof that Toyota and Honda are the way to go.

[@yesnomaybe1220]

I have had a horrible time with Ford Escape. It was on a timer.....paid off.....engine goes

[@cam5955]

FORD...Fix or repair daily...

[@heheharhar2]

Ford's product quality and reliability going downhill. I'll stay away from this manufacturer!

[@ILGlocker]

I will say that Ford has a widespread engine problem. Are you kidding? I have a 2012 F150 with the first gen 3.5 Ecoboost. At 75K miles I had the startup rattle issue. This is very widespread. I was over the warranty but after much pressure I got most of the repair covered. Now guess what....at 150K miles the rattle is back. The first repair was not what was needed and fixed things for a while. It is $4000 US for the repair. This is after the first $1500 repair. There is no way I am buying another vehicle with these supped up 4 or 6 cylinders.

[@franw51]

Get the 5.0L V8. You wont have issues

[@mwh3227]

How about the automatic transmissions in the Ford Focus? It's a $2,500 repair! Ford knew that their design was flawed and made the transmissions anyway!

[@josephfraley4432]

They obviously need competent engineers.

[@chaddobson7056]

I don’t see how the auto industry is going to make it we definitely can’t bail them out again.

Are we not in America 🇺🇸 Do we not use Miles

[@jamieplumber]

My 2017 Ecoboost Ford Transit’s check engine light comes on every month or two. It’s crazy!! This van is garbage. Been like this for years. I’m going to get rid of it
