Gave it a shot! I'll let you know if I hear anything back. Working with my credit union now to get a line of credit that will allow me to pay off the vehicle so I'm not insuring a useless piece of metal sitting in my yard.

Ford said that it's just the breaks. There is zero they can or will do in this situation.

Has anyone had Ford cover the coolant leak problem once the car is outside of warranty? I'm beyond frustrated with this issue which arose after the 8 year mark. Car only has 58k miles. Might tow it back from Ford dealer and try to get it to reset long enough to sell it back to CarMax.

Not sure what will happen but I chatted with Ford directly and they gave me a case number and said they would be contacting the dealer directly. Given that this coolant leak is a known issue, I cannot believe they will just leave owners with useless vehicles regardless of the warranty status.

Same issue here. Got the news today. Owned it less than a year and only 58k miles.

Financed it in February and loved the car. The SSN warning came on and the dealer just called. It is out of warrant and the battery is trashed. Waiting for them to call with whatever "buy back" options I may have. Not sure I ever want another Ford so I may just need to eat the $6k loan and save...
