“Under normal driving conditions, engine had severe misfires, flashing check engine light, and vehicle had to be pulled to side of highway. Took several hours sitting on highway to get tow truck to tow to dealership. Dealership confirmed coolant in pistons and deemed it a catastrophic engine failure. Problem appears to be widespread with many reports of the same, and a known engine defect that causes the problem.”

“Engine has been shaking/misfiring and white smoke coming from Exhaust. Took it to ford and they said it was a coolant intrusion problem on the first cylinder. Learned there is a design flaw in Fords eco boost engines. There is currently a class action lawsuit with Ford. Was told by Ford that a new engine is needed. Approximately $9,000 for repair”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 81 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
