2018 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0
136,000 Miles just about had the same issue, the trembling and then noticing the coolant tank emptying but no leaks anywhere ????♂️ where we park. But the car still runs good an all. It overheated at first but then I filled up the coolant tank and everything was fine. But now every now and then I have to check the coolant tank to make sure it’s not completely empty and refill it
I have noticed some whiteish residue in the oil cap of the engine so that’s getting me worried. Mechanic told me the head gasket needs to be replaced and total labor is about $3300
Pros: car still runs good
Cons: engine trembling, coolant loss, head gasket issue

At 70,000miles it started making a water sound right after turning it off. Months later I noticed a white smoke coming from the tail pipe. One day it gave me that code and started sputtering. Turns out the head gasket had cracked and was letting coolant into my engine pistons. It flooded it. I needed a whole engine replaced.
Cons: head gasket cracked, engine flooded, engine replaced

I had the same happen with a Ford tempo GLS. Had the 2.3HO engine. Everytime I put water in the radiator the car wouldn't start. I took it in and mechanic said head gasket was shot and so was my engine.
Pros: fun car to drive
Cons: head gasket was shot
