    I just wanted to thank you for your help , yesterday I took it to the ford dealer and they kept it over night to do the coolant test and I called this morning it indeed was coolant intrusion and the motor has to be replace . I have had it at the dealers 6 times over the last year and no one could figure out what was wrong . I felt like I was going crazy . The coolant intrusion starts off on my car as a shake a only highway speeds when it was cold and then as months went on it got worse and worse to the point I was just going choke up my loss and get a new car because i didnt feel safe in the escape anymore so again thank you very much and keep up the good work and to give a little extra info I over service my car with 65000 I had the trans serviced twice , fuel induction done twice , all brake fluid changed and I change my motor oil around every 3500 to 4000 miles with synthetic Mobil 1 oil .

    It makes you very unhappy when a dealer can’t figure out what is wrong with your car. I had a Dodge Ram van with a V8. One of the spark plugs didn’t fire. The computer jacked up the voltage to the coil. Burned out at least 3 ignition coils before some mechanic in a small town figured it out.

So I did a lot of research and troubleshooting. I then found the broblem myself. It was an electrical problem. I will never take my vehicles back to Ford. I will never purchase another Ford. The way they handled the situation was really suspicious.

    If you want ethanol free fuel for your gas jug and the gas station uses the same hose and nozzle for the ethanol free gas and the "up to 10%", put 2 gallons in your car and then by this time the hose should be pure gas. I see guys pull up and get 1 gallon of ethanol free gas in their little lawn mower gas jug and the truth is on those shared hoses, they didn't get any ethanol free gas.

    Well done dude! You are a super top tier technician. These DI turbo engines are so complex compared to the old engines. And there is little margin for error when rebuilding them. I will say one thing about the 1.5L in my 2020 Fusion.. that oil does not smell like gasoline anywhere near close to what my Kia 2.4L would smell like. Even after a fresh oil change in that Kia and driving 5 miles, the oil smelled like 50% gasoline. I know all these DI engines have fuel dilution issues but it seems to not be as bad in the Ford 1.5t than in some other cars.

New vehicles have great longevity and reliability for so many models. I fixed dozens of knocking small block Chevy v8 trucks and cars in the late 70s and early 80s for loose valve guides or loose main bearings, or both. I replaced a lot of Toyota and Honda engines with 70-80k miles when head gaskets would blow and they’d run hot and burn oil after head gasket was done. The good old days had damn few vehicles with 200k miles without engine, trans, rear end, and steering box replaced.

I know a lady with a 2008 Ford 500 and ask if she has had any problem with her engine and she said, no. The plus with it too, is that its port injected and no turbo.

    @Cragified 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There will be a lot more fuel issues right now due to the trouble there is delivering fuel to stations atm. As the bulk tanks go empty the fuel produces less vapor pressure and thus more atmospheric air and its included water vapor enter the tanks and cause condensation. ALL under ground fuel tanks (Which are federally required now in the U.S.) have a 'dead bottom' that the pump pickup doesn't reach. This is where free water will collect so it can be drained off through the sump discharge. However, on a tank that gets empty often due to lack of deliveries then it can reach the pickup before a sample is taken and it's drained off.

    Heard about fuel issues years ago when ethanol blends were starting to be common in gas stations. Petro gas & ethanol separates especially if car sits undriven for a length of time .As heat of day dissipates and condensation happens in fuel tank, since ethanol is heavier than gas, and attracts water ,sits, at bottom of tank- where the pump pickup is, causing cold start/ drivability issues ,. More prevalent in low octane gas. Ford H.O's generally reccomend a good high octane for good drivability, and is usually a decal In. Fuel nozzle door or port.and printed in model handbook

    Bad fuel/wrong fuel is a real issue, I've had non-flex-fuel cars come in with 40% ethanol content that threw all kinds of weird codes. I've also filled up my own truck and noticed a sharp loss of power a couple blocks the road. When it happened to me, I hooked up the scanner I keep in the center console and sure enough the knock sensors are off the charts, octane adjust ratio is maxed out, and my truck is running half the ignition timing it normally runs. I filled up with 93oct at a branded top-tier station when this happened, I'm not sure what went wrong but I've never filled up at the station again.

    my friend is a fleet manager for a multinational freight company, and he orders fuel in bulk from specific refineries, as he knows which produce the least ethanol content.
    He says the ethanol content can often trump price variances. His example is 1% extra ethanol = 3% less mileage and reduces the periods between servicing by months. He also says by paying 5% extra for fully synthetic oils/lubricants he averages over 10% saving on service costs.

    Wow, I'm impressed by all of your efforts. I have a question for you. My 2017 Ford Escape EcoBoost had to have it's engine replaced at 70,000 miles due to coolant getting into spark plugs. I hear this is a very common problem. Thankfully I purchased the extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle with 47,000. Since I got my car back after the engine replacement, it just is not running the same. I have gone back to Ford a few times and they tell me everything is working as it should. My question, are you aware of any other problems that may have occurred with this vehicle when the coolant got into the spark plugs? Could something like that have affected the EcoBoost or the transmission at the same time? I'm wondering if I should contact the lemon law lawyers. Ford knows that it has problems with these vehicles and, instead of dealing with them, they are just waiting and hoping that nothing happens until the warranty ends. My first Ford . . . . not sure if I will ever purchase another. Thanks, M

Also, When gas prices here in NY was over $4 a gallon a few years back, I tried to save myself some $$$ on close to 36 gallons of fuel..That was a HUGE mistake.. I put either 87or 89 in her, and boy, she let me know she wasnt happy with it... I put nothing but 93 octane in..Now i could do 91, but for the few cents difference, I just go with 93 and purchase my fuel from Sunoco..ALSO, on 1 of my oil changes, over 75k miles, they decided to put full synthetic oil in her..I left the shop, and in a matter of 20-30 mins of driving, I instantly notice she was running rough, hard..I KNEW right then, it was the oil.. ALL my oil changes, prior, had been a blend... Went back to the dealership, and they were kind enough to redo the oil change with the blend at no cost to me.. Its AMAZING how the type of oil, gas and even oil filter can corrupt your vehicle performance...

    All my cars are over 20 years old - 91 ethanol free for all of them (hurts when I fill up the suburban) but all cars start and purr hot or cold. Fuel is VERY important and really, 5-6 bucks each time you fill up isn't going to kill you but some emmission equipment that fouls will...

    there are two fuel stations I purchase from local and the same brand when traveling. I never buy the lowest-priced fuel I find and not from any other brands. I learned that lesson from my boss in Florida as he would buy the lowest-priced gas and always had misfire problems. he started using one brand of fuel from particular stations and the problem went away. he never varied his purchases from other stations and did not have fuel issues again.

    We live in Rural Tennessee, I avoid Ethanol fuels due to consistency. Ethanol is hydrostatic and evaporates. So we use 93 marine no Ethanol. We see better fuel mileage and better oil life avoiding Ethanol entirely.

    Yeah I wish my Ford dealership mechanics were as thorough ...I have a 2016 Escape that had a wire cut on the right signal which I had them repair , which they caused in replacing a bulb why they didn't just splice the broken wire instead of cutting the good one to show me why the turn signal didn't work is infuriating to say the least , in doing so they had to remove the windshield washer reservoir . They didn't put it back in proper it wouldn't hold any fluid . Needless to say I've lost any faith their service dept . I've gone to another. Nondealership mechanic they don't call them stealerships for nothing . I have a 7 year extended warranty which so far has saved me zero dollars on repairs . The service manager never called them EVER

    Very nice job with this one! I’ve heard everyone say that the 1.5 is a nightmare engine. I bought my 18 escape brand new, and aside from oil changes every 4,000 miles that little engine hasn’t needed a thing and it still runs like brand new. It’s at almost 100,000 miles. I must have got a good one. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The first time, they put a new torque converter in. She got it back and drove it for 30 minutes and the transmission fault service now flashed on the instrument cluster. again. It went back to the shop they rebuilt the transmission. She got it back, drove it for a day and a half and the message short up again on the instrument. Do you think it could be the transmission control module? Or do you have any other ideas? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I'm not sure if it matters which gas station you go to. I know that one offs are not the best. But if you've had good luck in the past with them then it shouldn't be a problem. 2 stories. Back in the 80's it was late on Sunday and I needed gas to get to work on Monday morning. The only station opened was a big change station. So I paid the extra and drove home. The next morning I start up the car and back out of the drive. It dies in the street. Roll it back in the drive on the starter. After the sun comes up. I find no fuel in the carb. Put a 60 watt light bulb in the fuel pump and go inside. Car starts up I put in a can of dry gas and drive the tank tills it's below half and refill at my usual station. The other story. Right next to the Ford dealer. Big chain gas station. Somehow diesel was put in the gas storage tanks. Dealer made a bunch of money cleaning fuel systems.

My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy buying name brand (Shell, BP, Exxon in that order preference) when she only fills up at Costco. Yes Costco sells gasoline that meets the minimum requirements thus the cheaper price. You get what you pay for. Besides, I sneak a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment in her cars tank after every fill up.
