A P0302 code on your 2024 Ford Escape indicates the PCM detected misfires in cylinder 2. The 2024 Escape uses turbocharged 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder engines depending on trim, and as a new vehicle, warranty coverage applies.
2024 Escape Powertrains
The 2024 Escape offers a 1.5L EcoBoost 3-cylinder, 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder, and hybrid options. Cylinder 2 location and misfire characteristics vary by engine. The turbocharged engines are sensitive to ignition system condition.
Warranty Coverage
Your 2024 Escape is covered under Ford's 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Engine misfire on a new vehicle qualifies for warranty repair at no cost.
New Vehicle Misfire Causes
On a new 2024 model, P0302 may result from manufacturing defects in coil or plug, assembly errors during production, software calibration issues, or rarely, damage from external factors.
