Problem overview

Some Ford Escort owners report experiencing issues related to freeze plug leaks, such as coolant leaks, rust, and debris accumulation. These leaks may indicate that the cooling system has experienced freezing, prompting the need for checks on engine damage and antifreeze mixture. Additionally, some owners find that broken motor mounts lead to excessive engine movement, causing stress on components and resulting in misalignment and increased vibration. If left unaddressed, these motor mount issues can lead to further engine damage. Furthermore, some Ford Escort owners have reported sensor damage due to excessive vibration caused by freeze plug leaks or broken motor mounts, which can negatively impact engine performance and fuel efficiency. It is advisable for owners to inspect and replace any damaged sensors to ensure the vehicle operates properly and safely.
