History Behind the Lawsuit
Ford is facing a new class action lawsuit over allegations that it knowingly sold vehicles with defective EcoBoost engines and failed to properly fix the issue.
The lawsuit, filed in June 2025, targets 1.5L to 2.0L EcoBoost engines found in popular Ford and Lincoln vehicles from model years 2013–2019. Plaintiffs claim that the engines suffer from a coolant intrusion defect, where coolant leaks into the engine cylinders. Over time, this leads to overheating, engine damage, and in many cases, complete engine failure.
Ford owners say the automaker knew about the issue for years but did not inform customers or offer a lasting solution.
Which Vehicles Are Affected
The lawsuit includes several models equipped with small EcoBoost engines:
- 2013–2019 Ford Escape
- 2013–2019 Ford Fusion
- 2015–2018 Ford Edge
- 2016–2019 Lincoln MKC
- 2016–2019 Lincoln MKZ
Owners allege that Ford applied temporary fixes, like installing coolant level sensors, instead of addressing the underlying engine design flaw. Even when short blocks were replaced under warranty, the new engines allegedly had the same defect.
What Owners Need to Do Next
The plaintiffs are seeking damages, reimbursement for repairs, and other relief for affected owners. If you owned or leased one of the vehicles listed above and experienced overheating or coolant loss, you may be eligible to join the lawsuit.
