Default Ecoboost engine overheating problems 1.0

ECOBOOST ENGINE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS 1.0
If someone has or has the car equipped with this engine should be aware that it has valid warranty extension and / or require deep reviews of the state of the engine. A deficiency is detected in the engine cooling which causes in some cars a peak of overheating of which the panel does not give any warning and burns the gaskets of the motor leaving passing liquid of cooling to the gasoline circuit damaging the whole motor and forcing a repair Which is practically a new engine.
The first symptom is difficulty getting the car to work and losing power without any other indication of the vehicle. Of course, the damage is done right now.
Ford does not assume this manufacturing defect that is already explained in at least one technical opinion of an American company and the owner has no alternative but to undertake a thorough repair in a car that should have a much longer life.
The dealers on their side refer the matter to Ford and say that they only "repair cars" in a very nice way.
Deco has already contacted Ford in my case and they simply ignore the issue by referring only to the fact that the vehicle is not covered by warranty.

BE CAREFUL THEREFORE WITH THESE EXPERIMENTAL ENGINES.
