People in the U.K. have had problems with those tiny Ford engines for years. I wish I could say just buy Toyota but they have their own problems starting in the 2024 model year with their trucks!
Sounds like what I was thinking, I see future Toyota, Nissan or Subaru customers in this video. Now if only Toyota, Honda and Nissan would quit using failure prone transverse front wheel drive based powertrains.
Which model year ? I have a 2005 Ford Taurus SE with 167, 000 miles . I had transmission work . Other repairs have been brakes and suspension components with wear . There's no way I would buy Ford now with all of these major issues and no sedans being offered .
When I heard the 2021 2.7 bronco was dropping valves 2 years ago I sold my 2021 2.7 bronco back to Ford. Just didn't want to risk that happening after my warranty ran out. Ended up buying a 3rd gen Tacoma. Glad I did. Now Ford is recalling the 21 bronco.
We definitely need better consumer protection legislation on all fronts. We as Canadians may hold our heads high that we aren't Americans but they definitely have better warranties/consumer protections. We recently had a new Samsung fridge die. Two months beyond our one year warranty in Canada. In the US the unit would still be under the Samsung 5 year Refrigeration Warranty protection.
@@DF-et4gs As an American, I view Canadians as hypocrites. Crying how Americans are self centered, thinking we're superior ( we're not by the way), and here we are, they think they're somehow better. Yes on some aspects. No on others.
My friend ordered a new 2024 Ford ranger raptor waited a year to get it. He had it for 3 days and it died in his garage it was stone dead electrically. They sent a Ford tech to his house to try and get it started. No luck they tow it away now 3 weeks later they tell him that it's unfixable. Because they said it's a software issue and wiring issue and their is no fix for it. So 5 months later still waiting on the check for the buy back
As someone who’s owned a few modified turbo Gti’s I would agree. They shouldn’t be putting them in all of these commuter cars that don’t typically see the kind of care and maintenance that a car enthusiast would typically do.
But that search for better fuel mileage is due to the Federal Government's EPA standards. The Government and Ford are both to blame and the consumer suffers.
Remember to tell your kids, grandkids, friends and to keep this dinner table story alive for generations that the family keeps away from these types of companies that sold out the customer through bad decisions, etc. Make a point to carry this for generations.
I remember when car builders were begging for bailouts and promised to do better and build better, more reliable vehicles. 15 years later and they're back to doing us dirty again, all the while making incredible profits. 🙈🙈🙈
@test143000. True...Of the 3 they were the only ones that didn't outright ask for a bailout. Ford didn't need money from the $80 billion bailout program, Ford did however receive $5.9 billion in government loans in 2009 to retool its manufacturing plants to produce more fuel-efficient cars, and the company lobbied for and benefited from the cash-for-clunkers program as well.
Had a friend had a F150 with the Triton V8 where the cam phasers failed and other damage ensued.....the truck had about 37K miles at the time, and Ford wouldn't warranty the repair. He paid about $10K out of pocket for the repair and drove it to the GMC dealer and traded it in on a nice DENALI. He was a hardcore Ford guy but never again.
Working as an auto mechanic at a Ford dealer, I often saw newer vehicles in for expensive repairs, so it does not always pay to buy new to have something reliable. Especially with how expensive and poorly made vehicles are now Repairs on a Ford are almost more than a European car, and they cost as much or more. 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. Some engines last, I think it is just the luck of the build quality, and partly the owners driving habits and the maintenancep
I have a 2016 Ford Mustang/Roush II and at 72,000, had to replace the engine ($10,000)!!! It is back in the shop for the same engine code!! I have written 2 letters to Ford and NO response.
How about doing a story about all the ram ecodiesel motors blowing up !!!! Mine is a 2019 ram 1500 with 128000lms with a blown motors. Ram won’t help. Many many rams are blowing up Too !!!
I’ve been without my 2018 Ford Focus since mid-March which only has 100,800km on it. A known, faulty engine oil pump which is now under recall for an entire new engine due to the recall but apparently sourcing gasket kits since the updated bulletin has been released is still putting everything to a halt. The guy at the end of this video must be on the take because they’re putting out consistently poor products and leaving people high-and-dry at an alarming rate. I’d write down my entire story but this catastrophe of a situation with Ford but don’t have the time. Check out my Google review for Holiday Ford for the entire background for a case which still isn’t resolved.
At 440,000 miles doesn't sound very new. Past success is no guarantee of present success too many things can change in between. Newer unproven tech or a change in quality of suppliers (cheaper). Most car makers have had great reliable models and others that are money pits. There can be major differences depending on the model build year.
Lol. I bought a 2008 Ford mustang in 2013. With 67k miles it now has 101k miles not a single problem at all. With insane overpriced vehicles now I'll drive that old car as long as I can an gladly replace a fuel pump or alternator which both easy as pie to replace in my drive way.
2018 escape. 1.5 L 4 cylinder Eco Disappointment. First engine lasted 40,000 km. took 3 months to get the parts. It was replaced over a 6 week period. 2nd engine EXPLODED (flames and smoke) 120km later. Third engine is in there but I no longer trust the vehicle and as seniors ,we cant afford to just go buy another one. We use it very sparingly. 1500km last year. Not what we planned on.
These cars companies just love bad publicity. Maybe I got lucky with my Mazda. Transmission went at 30,000km (which sucks). Set up an appointment with the Mazda service dept., went for a drive with the tech. Next day got a call and was told to bring the car in, Mazda Canada was shipping in a new transmission from Japan. Then told to pick up a loaner at their expense (CX5 with about 1000km on it). We had the loaner for about a month, traded in the Mazda that needed fixing and purchased another brand new Mazda. I now own two Subarus but don’t have anything bad to say about Mazda. I would definitely buy another.
That's what you get for using a failure prone transverse front wheel drive drivedrain architecture. and it gets even worse, now in order to appease tha false gods of efficiency, we are being subjected to CVT's and direct injection while the various car companies are saying that these are superior and it's you fault that there are problems cropping up during real world use.
mazdas are good cars and are fun to drive. i wish i had the article but they set up the suspension a little similar to porsche. i forget if its caster camber or toe, only the cars though of course
A long block is just what they call when they sell u the full engine assembly. Short block is when only they only sell u the bottom end rotating assembly without the head. This particular engine has coolant intrusion problems into the cylinders which most commonly will be diagnosed as a bad head gasket. This isn't the case for the 2.0 as its due to a design flaw so the tsb calls for replacement with an update long block assembly to fix the issue.
I had a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium with the powershift transmission. That was a complete failure. Replaced twice, the TCM (transmission control module) replaced twice and reprogramed once. All withing a 2 years span. These transmission is in the 2012-16 Ford Focus and 2011-2016 Fiestas. .
I had a 2011 Ford Mustang with the non-turbo 3.7 liter V6.... Great car and I was able to get 252,000 miles out of it. There is absolutely no way I would buy any of the new Mustangs that have a turbo. It would probably be lucky to make it to 52,000 miles.
3.7L and 5.0L were good engines. The base model 4.6L V8 in the 2004-2010 trucks was a good engine that ran well for many miles. Yet the 5.4L V8 optional and more common engine was very famously unreliable and expensive to frequently repair. In the Escapes, the turbo 2.0L is better than the base turbo 1.5L or 1.6L, but all are bad engines
Good luck finding a truck that’s any different. Ford, GM, Ram….they all have these turbo charged lower displacement engines that have the same kind of issues. Some of the issues is not understanding how cool down and heat soak hurts the engine when people just shut them down as soon as they stop at their destination without letting them cool down while running a few minutes. But the larger issue is that the repeated heat soak causes the turbos to come apart and take the lower end with it when they do.
@@VegasGuy1975 The average consumer isn’t going to worry about a “cool down period”. A soccer mom that goes from store to store simply won’t have the time for it.
Small engines making huge pressures in the name of economy. The EPA and manufacturers work together to make planned obsolescence a reality. This needs to stop.
When Ford needed to recall their Escapes for faulty fuel injectors that leaked fuel on the engine, their 'fix' was not replacing the faulty injectors, they installed tubes so that the leaks were re-routed to a better drainage point. Ford Quality is Job 1
My local Ford dealership service department only does recalls. There's an express lane for oil changes and such where I could try to get a day of appointment to get a part put on my 1995 Ranger that wore out in a reasonable amount of time, but I could not even make a regular appointment to have it replaced.
No matter what you buy, everything is made cheap, costly but cheap. It's designed to fail. They load these vehicles up with tech to entice you but the engines, transmissions and all other mechanical parts are so poorly made nowadays.
I want to laugh here due to the low cost of engine replacement. I own a 2017 F-250. It has a flawed CP4 high-pressure fuel-pump. It WILL fail due to low sulfur diesel (sulfur is a lubricant and we no longer have it here in The USA) and the replacement cost is around $15,000. They replace everything. 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. This brings it to $30,000. Only Ford still uses the CP4. Ram and Chevy both trialed it and went to other pumps.
@@mfwebpea2935 VERY important to make sure you idle your turbo engine after long duration highway speed use for at least a few minutes to prevent oil coking! Some engines have a timer from the factory but many still do not.
$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 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The company that doesn’t care about quality and just wants the next customer, THAT IS WHO. Also while paying a cheap young mechanic worth only $20/hour. THAT is who is taking care of your vehicle FYI.
This reminds me of TJ hunt buying a brand new mustang and the engine was misfiring right off the lot. Someone commented they had the same issue and the head wasnt manufactured correctly causing the spark plugs to hit the valves!
Now you know why Ford is advertizing "Employee Pricing". I once had a Ford, back in 1981 and I sold it 17 months later. Drove a Toyota and Honda since then and three of them were bought new and kept 12, 14 and 16 years. I do all my own work and never had an issue with them. My Honda is with a friend and 25 years old. Fix Or Repair Daily.
The ending is really a fair shot a journalism. Check the 2:51 mark for a good overview. This isn't a widespread problem, just a few unfortunate situations that happens with any company with this many products at scale.
I i have a 2022Transport with a 3.5 didn't make it to 15,000 before catastrophic engine failure. 6 months later. I am still driving my 2009 E250 service van with 250,000 miles.
I don't know why people are still buying anything other than non turbo Hondas, non turbo Toyotas, and non turbo Mazdas. Even they aren't as good as they once were, but they are the best you can buy.
The issue is 4 cylinder coupled with turbo, too much strain on them 4 cylinder and as wear and tear happens over time and not following maintenance, it will fail. Americans wanted fast cars on small engines, well here ya go.
@@richards1191 That is only major problem Toyota had but Ford, GM, Stellantis had many major problems. Do you know why non American companies cannot compete with USA in Truck? Chicken Tariff imposes any truck made outside North America like 35% tariff. You thought USA is all about free fair trade. That is not incorrect. Now American government is complaining about the unfair trade with China while USA has practiced an unfair trade for a long time.
Have a '79 F150 with a 460 engine with a C6 automatic transmission. 350 k plus miles on original running gear. Doesn't even burn oil. A little thirsty with fuel, but never ever failed me. Simple and strong. Built Ford tough. Don't want an ecoturd.
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.
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!
Only to a certain degree. The overall design has a lot more to do with that than anything else. A well designed and well built powertrain will last forever with nothing but basic maintenance. A poorly designed powertrain will still only live a short life, despite having the best maintenance done to it.

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.
This is the only time we took out a Ford factory extended warranty. We have a 2015 Edge with the 2.0L Ecoboost. Of course that means we won't have a problem with it. 😉 Only like 70,000 miles now and have warranty until 125,000 I think. Of course the years it extended to could get us first.
My wife’s 2016 Escape w/2.0l running great @ 130000Km as is my s.i.l’s 2013 Focus with 220000Km. Never added a drop of oil to either between changes. Oh yes the Focus did suffer from the well documented double clutch problems. These never caused a failure while on the road and were replaced, more than once, with a nice loaner provided. ALL companies suffer some issues. It’s how they handle them that counts. Example of very bad: Toyota’s handling of the corroded electrical cable problem.
People do your research!! This info has been on UA-cam posted by several mechanics for years.

Here I am with my sooner to be discontinued Nissan Titan still going since 2017!
Small engines making huge pressures in the name of economy. The EPA and manufacturers work together to make planned obsolescence a reality. This needs to stop.
Exactly.
And it causes all kinds of issues like head gasket failures and oil dilution, just to name a few
They don't care if they can get out of not paying they will, all of the big 3 are the same, I see tons of comments about GM and they're truck issues.
The eco boost 2.3 have had issues for a while, I’m most sure about other ones but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had issues too.
We need to protect these company for making these junk and wait for the paint job peel off too.
Hyundais had the same issue with 2013-2016 2.0l turbo engines. Huge recall. Its not only Ford.
Kia/ Hyundai is junk
NOT ONLY THE TURBO, THE 1.8L AND 2.4L HAVE ENGINE ISSUE, THEY DO HAVE RECALLS
I USED TO WORK IN HYUNDAI IN TORONTO
In Europe VW has had foulty (turbo Diesel) engines in the T5 and T6 vans. They regularly don't reach 60.000mls.
I was looking at the Escape. Forgot that now.
Lexus or Toyota
Crazy that no one mentions the 3.3 V6 NA port and DI and diabolically they've discontinued it for 24'
They are built not to last, that manufacturer's ideal...
The last decent ford v6 f150 was the 4.2 v6 last sold in 2008.205 hp only but reliable and long lived.
@@StephenRoss-po1rp lots of people with 3 valve 5.4s that have failed.things got worse as the engines progressed.pre 04s were Supposibly best.

When Ford needed to recall their Escapes for faulty fuel injectors that leaked fuel on the engine, their 'fix' was not replacing the faulty injectors, they installed tubes so that the leaks were re-routed to a better drainage point. Ford Quality is Job 1
My local Ford dealership service department only does recalls. There's an express lane for oil changes and such where I could try to get a day of appointment to get a part put on my 1995 Ranger that wore out in a reasonable amount of time, but I could not even make a regular appointment to have it replaced.
Replacing a defective engine with a new defective engine and expecting it to be ok. Insanity.
No matter what you buy, everything is made cheap, costly but cheap. It's designed to fail. They load these vehicles up with tech to entice you but the engines, transmissions and all other mechanical parts are so poorly made nowadays.
Didn't used to be that way many years ago. Planned Obsolescence is mandatory at all companies today
My 2006 Subaru Outback 5 speed has 168,000 miles on it the only thing I have had to do is oil changes, brakes tires and exhaust.
I want to laugh here due to the low cost of engine replacement. I own a 2017 F-250. It has a flawed CP4 high-pressure fuel-pump. It WILL fail due to low sulfur diesel (sulfur is a lubricant and we no longer have it here in The USA) and the replacement cost is around $15,000. They replace everything. 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. This brings it to $30,000. Only Ford still uses the CP4. Ram and Chevy both trialed it and went to other pumps.

These very inconvenient events are undermining the rest of us to just keep our existing cars and trucks, and their money, too!
These auto companies are selling garage now and don’t stand behind their product. Will never buy a new car ever again.
The new car you won’t buy now will be the used car you buy a few years from now.
@@robertpearson8798that’s why you should only buy used Toyotas from a trusted mechanic/ dealer

Poor lady. The kms on the dash stay the same even if the motors been changed!
Cheverolet is having similar issues.
Our ford escape fleet also died at 130,000km, dealer maintained. Ford wanted $11k for their product, we need lemon laws here
Turbos don't belong on passenger cars as the average driver won't have the knowledge or discipline for it to survive
And what is that knowledge, and or discipline?
Watch Dakar desert waste check turbo temperature before puddling
@@mfwebpea2935 VERY important to make sure you idle your turbo engine after long duration highway speed use for at least a few minutes to prevent oil coking! Some engines have a timer from the factory but many still do not.
I have a 2019 Tacoma and a 2022 Mustang GT, one of these is very fun, the other one is practical and extremely reliable.
$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 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Do your research . Chevy Volts are not great cars …
The dollarstore truck
😂😅😂
Still no replacement for displacement
Are there any upcoming layoffs at the Louisville Ky. Ford truck plant?
Who replaces an engine and doesn't test drive it after?
The company that doesn’t care about quality and just wants the next customer, THAT IS WHO. Also while paying a cheap young mechanic worth only $20/hour. THAT is who is taking care of your vehicle FYI.
This reminds me of TJ hunt buying a brand new mustang and the engine was misfiring right off the lot. Someone commented they had the same issue and the head wasnt manufactured correctly causing the spark plugs to hit the valves!
Why doesn't Kia and Hyundai get called out on this as well?? almost every 4 cylinder needed replacement.
THEY DO I USED TO WORK AT HYUNDAI DEALER AT TORONTO
Now you know why Ford is advertizing "Employee Pricing". I once had a Ford, back in 1981 and I sold it 17 months later. Drove a Toyota and Honda since then and three of them were bought new and kept 12, 14 and 16 years. I do all my own work and never had an issue with them. My Honda is with a friend and 25 years old.

The ending is really a fair shot a journalism.
Check the 2:51 mark for a good overview. This isn't a widespread problem, just a few unfortunate situations that happens with any company with this many products at scale.
I i have a 2022Transport with a 3.5 didn't make it to 15,000 before catastrophic engine failure. 6 months later. I am still driving my 2009 E250 service van with 250,000 miles.
I don't know why people are still buying anything other than non turbo Hondas, non turbo Toyotas, and non turbo Mazdas. Even they aren't as good as they once were, but they are the best you can buy.
The issue is 4 cylinder coupled with turbo, too much strain on them 4 cylinder and as wear and tear happens over time and not following maintenance, it will fail. Americans wanted fast cars on small engines, well here ya go.
@@analienfromouterspace Yep
These companies need to be forced by law to stand behind their cheap built poorly designed junk parts and labor included
The problem is that you bought Ford, GM, Stellantis. Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Honda are not perfect but they are better
Toyota has the only real pickup but their new twin turbo v6 is also having problems as well
@@richards1191 That is only major problem Toyota had but Ford, GM, Stellantis had many major problems. Do you know why non American companies cannot compete with USA in Truck? Chicken Tariff imposes any truck made outside North America like 35% tariff. You thought USA is all about free fair trade. That is not incorrect. Now American government is complaining about the unfair trade with China while USA has practiced an unfair trade for a long time.
@@thomaskim5008 China doesn’t make as far as I know a 3/4 or one ton pickup either
@@richards1191 Due to the chicken tariff, Chinese companies like many other companies won’t sell 1/2 or full size trucks in USA.
Toyotas have been chronic oil burners since 1998.
2021 Ford Edge Titanium,was told needed new transmission with only 90,000 miles on it
Have a '79 F150 with a 460 engine with a C6 automatic transmission. 350 k plus miles on original running gear. Doesn't even burn oil. A little thirsty with fuel, but never ever failed me. Simple and strong. Built Ford tough. Don't want an ecoturd.
It's rubish, my brother spent 4500 replacing transmission and again engine on his Ford Focus. It's joke of a company
We've had the same experience on a 2017 focus with only 22,000 miles!
I have had a horrible time with Ford Escape. It was on a timer.....paid off.....engine goes
Recall King Ford works very hard to retain their title and moat.
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.
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!
I have chev spark with 340000kms and i m VERY HAPPY WITH IT
Turbos and unrealistic oil change intervals and lead to failure.
Only to a certain degree. The overall design has a lot more to do with that than anything else. A well designed and well built powertrain will last forever with nothing but basic maintenance. A poorly designed powertrain will still only live a short life, despite having the best maintenance done to it.
Exactly.
My 05 STI still surviving with abuse and normal maintenance.
Original everything.
Leaving Ford worked out very well for me. 🤷
Buyer be ware. Twin turbo. = BOOM
Toyotas.
Stellantis Will Pay Dearly For Their New Ice Platform,

Gooood Luck 😊
@@crlaw75 I never hear about twin turbo Supras failing in such a manner.

I own three vehicles, all 20 or more years old and all have over 200,000 miles on them. They don't make things like they used to.
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
We blew a V-8 in our one ton. Six months, and $15,000 later, it still doesn't run correctly. The truck had 18,000 miles(now 20,000) on it.😬
Probably needs new catalytic converters , if they used the old ones.. they can be replaced under warranty.
@@462ANIMAL Well, they did use the old spark plugs!
@@markdanielczyk944 well , that’s extremely special of them.. plugs are cheap . Need to check the temperature at the inlet and outlet of the catalytic converters. See what’s happening , as for flow

should’ve bought a toyota truck. Way too much time to fix that flawed POS. But hey, FIXED OR REPAIRED DAILY wasnt just a made up word for NOTHING!😂 yeah, I worked on ford’s everyday too.
I don’t see how the auto industry is going to make it we definitely can’t bail them out again.
They obviously need competent engineers.
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.
This is the only time we took out a Ford factory extended warranty. We have a 2015 Edge with the 2.0L Ecoboost. Of course that means we won't have a problem with it. 😉
Only like 70,000 miles now and have warranty until 125,000 I think. Of course the years it extended to could get us first.
My wife’s 2016 Escape w/2.0l running great @ 130000Km as is my s.i.l’s 2013 Focus with 220000Km. Never added a drop of oil to either between changes. Oh yes the Focus did suffer from the well documented double clutch problems. These never caused a failure while on the road and were replaced, more than once, with a nice loaner provided. ALL companies suffer some issues. It’s how they handle them that counts. Example of very bad: Toyota’s handling of the corroded electrical cable problem.
Double clutch - eeeech! We had the same bad experience!
