The Lemon Lincoln MKC is Back for a 4 year update, and it seems like Ford has some seriously big problems when it comes to the longevity of their Ecoboost Engine. I’m kind of glad I got rid of the Focus RS now!

i worked at a ford dealership in the service center, the number of cars that would come through for this was scary, and while its a service campaign, im very surprised there isnt a full recall on that engine
Be a man And buy a copart boat !
So in other words Steve was right, the guy who actually deals with lemon cars, actually knew what he was talking about…SHOCK.
no turbo's for me under any circumstance. too many issues, If i need more power I will super charge or learn to drive slower.
Did the dealership install a new engine?
i currently nought a used 2018 Acura and was completely out of warranty and the torque converter went bad. Acura had a service bulletin on just this issue, and they went good on a new torque converter and everything. cost me nothing.
Time for a Tesla or a Toyota. Take your pick.
That block was redesigned due to the reliefs cut between the cylinders in the block. The 1.5L only gets the short block. Why the 2.0L gets a long block I never got an answer for and no one really knows because they just put the new motor in and ship it. My guess is Ford had a problem with the head as well. Seen a ton of these done when I worked at a Ford dealer.
@samcrac Why are you showing an alfa romeo stelvio in your thumbnail?
If your 2.0 Ecoboost was built in Cleveland this is a big problem. If your lucky and have the same engine built in Saville Spain no problem.
We needed a car in emergency after an old lady rear ended us in a parking lot .
Her insurance refused to pay a rental more tgan 48 hours so we needed an other car!
We saw this 2011 honda pilot who will fit our needs he was at 172000 miles.we did a test drive and told them. Than he made a rattle sound very loud the dealer told us tgat's what normal she needed to get warm. Andvtge car was traded by the mechanic friend and well maintened and checked by this so call mechanic!
We paid 13000$ for it !!!
1 week later the alternator was dead then we brought it in a honda dealership they told us than the sound we heard was the timing belt he told us than the previous owner never changed nothing on it just basic maintenance old change and cheap after market break pads ! It cost us a total of 11000$ to keep in running on the road .and we can't to do nothing because they sell their cars as it is so we draining our savings in this lemon car ! And we have a loan on it so if we trading it for a new one it will be too much to afford 😢
Thats why we stay away from American cars. Junk.
I am here after watching a video samrac made 6 years ago after talking to Steve lemon lawyer.
Here was about to buy a lemon Chevy Bolt EV 1 week ago. My gut told me I shouldn't after doing do research.
@Samcrac What was the end result? Did Ford warranty it and replace the engine?
It's not just the 2.0t engine. My daughter had a 17 escape with the 1.5t 4 cylinder, not the new 3 cylinder 1.5 that did the same thing.

Hey guys, I wonder if any of you can answer this:
1. Is there any way to find information about a lemon car, like what was not fixable, etc …? (besides just what somebody says)
2. Does a lemon car loses all warranty regardless of year and miles?
3. A lot of lemon cars I see are only a couple thousands under the normal price (but often are on the lot for months). Is saving a couple thousands all you can get from those bad cars?
4. Why are dealers selling so high their lemon cars and keeping them for months or more on their lot? (and not accepting low offers)
I own the bluetooth Thinkdiag OBD II scanner for little over 1 month now and it all ready paid for it self. Cause my mom car had the engine light come on and I was able to tell her what the issue was even printed out a report. So she could show it to the car dealership.
Samcrac, please post a link to the smartphone scope camera.
Thank you
Seriously dude you bought a car that had the ecoboom engine? Nobody told you about those?
Great video! Any updates on the MKC?
I have a 2016 MKC 2.3l w/ 58k (Purchased at 55k) & just had to get the trans rebuilt. Think there's a few others issues too 🙁
Shouldn't happen these days with sophisticated computer design and R&D.. Obviously their designs are not tested properly which is inexcusable really, no reason for it
Love all of the hockey shirts!! Go wild!!
I'm surprised every Ferrari isn't a buyback. I guess the key is – the same repair – Ferrari is clever and makes sure it is always a new and different repair.
This a diesel engine? I’ve noticed a coolant drip in 2.0 focus duratec (diesel) no leaks on ground 🥲😢
Was it repaired under warranty?
Well Sam, did they replace the engine in this Lincoln?
Great videos👍. Could let me what model TOPDON scanner you use? Thanks.
I have a 2017 ford mustang premium 302, it's been at the Ford dealer for 4 months now, it started with a vibration around 2000 to 3000 rpms and I immediately took it to ford to have them take a look at it, I did purchase an extended warranty when I purchased it with 7300 miles on it it now has 14300 miles on it and the car was sold as certified through ford I paid 46k with financing, they replaced the clutch and flywheel and the problem did not go away, the replaced the harmonic balancer and the problem did not go away and now they want to replace the whole engine long block since ford is short on their inventory for a small block but I applied for a buy back hopefully they can buy the car back
This stuff is why people buy Japanese now. 😂
Would NEVER buy a Ford vehicle as the quality of their overall designs does not exist. Really sad to see such a nice new vehicle with low miles need intense engine repair. Like the tire pressure sensor problem a little better placement along with a better connector solves the problem. Cost cutting is great but having inferior parts in critical places – this is what you get. So they saved maybe $0.30 on the cheaper connector in 4 places that is $1.20 saved but the head aches caused to customers will drive away business.
There is a group between 2 and 3 + 3 and 4 cut into the block and that's what causes the failure that's why you have to replace the whole thing
New motor time they have a service recall 4 long block because of head gasket leaks due to the block
The way they build cars theses days are junk
Click bait. just another guy trying to sell stuff! 🦨
That Mustang in the background is like a fine painting hanging on the wall
