There have also been instances of the engine catching fire, caused by loss of coolant. The law firm claims the Ecoboost engines manufactured between 2011 and 2017 pose serious threat to passengers’ lives.
Roscoe Reid stated that certain owners had to pay as much as $10,000 to replace the engine. It also accused the carmaker of constantly minimizing its contribution to the repair expenses, despite the frequent complaints. It may be noted that Focus and Fiesta are two of the most popular car variants in Britain.
