| Ford are aware of the HIGH engine failure rate with coolant issues, post on their website they will compensate people 100%, but when you go to ford dealer they tell you its not related to the coolant but something else so refuse to cover the vehicle | |

| Wed, 2 Dec 2020 Subject: Ford Executive Office Good Afternoon, Thank you for your email in. Your continued dissatisfaction with the current issue has been noted on your case. The dealership had confirmed that based on the findings on visual inspection this does not look to be eco boost related. Should you wish to have this clarified then this can only be done via a full diagnosis in which would always be at cost to the customer initially in any case. If upon diagnosis it os found that the failure is related to the ecoboost concern, then Ford would again review this and look to assist. However, we do not cover the initial diagnosis first off as if it is still confirmed to not be an ecoboost related failure, then we would not cover this cost. Can you please confirm if there is aything ekse in which you require assistance with regarding this matter? If no further assistance is required, then the case here will be closed pending any further contact. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards Penny Boswell | Executive Office, Ford of Britain and Ireland | 01277 251598 |

| latest update from lee rumsby at gates of harlow because the degas pipe was changed, matrix problems fixed and expansion bottle changed (all related to ecoboost problems?) the engine still runs and stops/starts even though it has lost power we are told because the oil light is on its not a related issue and can only be identified if the engine is stripped down at our cost, never will we own another Ford again |

| https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/5fa950255e693f0a842224a9 our Ford Focus Titanium, you may be aware of this already but there was a recall on ford engines with coolant issues, we bought the car shortly after the recall but didnt receive any details about it we took it for service in 2017 to Ford Gates in Harlow who said water pump and front cover were leaking and would cost £800 to replace, this was not the case as they were fine, however we noted later it was leaking from the degas pipe, which was the major flaw with these engines, later on the heater matrix started to leak so that was changed to, then after that the expansion bottle leaked so that was changed too now the oil light has come on and the engine started knocking on the ford website it says 100% compensation for these issues, when we took it to Gates on 1st November 2020 they said it is an oil related issue not coolant so refuse to repair/replace |
