Consumer Description

DURING THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE FORD ESCAPE 2013 WITH 1.6L ECOBOOST ENGINE, THE DEALER FOUND OTHER ISSUES OUTSIDE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PREVENT OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THERE IS A FUEL BRIDGE ISSUE OR SOME KIND OF LEAK, IF FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES WHY WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THEM ON THE RECALL, THEY ARE EAGER TO FIX THE ISSUE, SO IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE HIDING OTHER ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE FIRES. DOES NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT THESE OTHER ISSUES? I AM PUSHING FOR FORD TO FIX MY CAR OR BUY IT BACK. IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE SOFTWARE FIX LIKE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THE MEDIA. I HOPE NHTSA IS PUSHING FORD TO COME CLEAN AND TELL THE FULL STORY, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT. ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO BUY TIME, NOT SURE WHY IS TAKING SO LONG FOR MY CAR TO GET FIX WHEN THEY ARE SAYING IS JUST HALF DAY FIX. THEN TODAY THEY SAID IS SOME LIKE AND THEY EVEN MENTION THE FUEL BRIDGE, WHAT IS THE TRUE STORY? *TR
