Consumer Description

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO FORD DEALER DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STUCK ON. DIAGNOSTICS PULLED 2 CODES, P0011 & P0012. THESE 2 CODES ARE MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS!! BOTH SOLENOIDS NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND POSSIBLY HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH CYLINDER HEADS AND CAM SHAFTS IF HEAD AND CAMSHAFTS SHOW WEAR = THUS A VERY VERY EXPENSIVE ENGINE REPAIR COST FOR ME!! THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 60,000 MILES: MY ESCAPE HAD ONLY 63,296 MILES ON 4-2-13, THE DAY I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'M CLIMBING UP THE TREE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AN FEEL I HAVE A "LEMON" FORD VEHICLE!! I WANT TO KNOW WHY FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID NOT SEND OUT ANY RECALL NOTICES TO 2009 FORD ESCAPE OWNERS REGARDING THIS MAJOR-MAJOR ENGINE MALFUNCTION = SERIOUS ENGINE REPAIR COSTS TO ME DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE !! I AM OVER THE WARRANTY TIMELINE BY 3,296 MILES !!! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ENGINE REPAIR !! *TR
