2024 Escape Coolant Leak or Intrusion

Hey all, I had the dreaded vehicle overheat today. Purchased the vehicle July 2024 and had it towed to my ford dealer. Now reading about coolant intrusion issues and I’m scared. For reference I noticed the vehicle was not blowing warm air last night. I checked the coolant, it was a bit above the min line. Had plans to fill it today but it overheated before I could get the coolant. I checked it at that time and it was empty. My vehicle has 9,906 km on it which is 6,155 miles converted. Is that when escapes start seeing coolant intrusion problems? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am so lost.

Coolant intrusion was the late teens models. 2020 forward is new generation.

Haha good lord no, you have an external coolant leak or the oil cooler has gone or something. and you have full warranty, take it to ford.

Service department says it’s a coolant leak from the block heater I guess.

Get rid of it while u can.

Probably leaking coolant from a part or a hose. You did not notice yellow/orange puddle on the ground?

No but it is very dark when I leave and when I get home. Gonna try to take a look tomorrow in the daylight.

Pray that you are under warranty— that is all.

Out of curiosity, what engine do you have?
