NHTSA Complaint #10608388 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT THAT AFTER MY RECALL SERVICE FOR THE RISK OF LOCALIZED OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD THAT MAY LEAD TO OIL LEAK FIRES MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE STARTED OVERHEATING. THE ENGINE HEAT WENT FROM REGULAR HEAT TO MAXED OUT HEAT IN THE RED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WITH NO WARNING OR TIME TO PULL OVER SAFELY!!!!! I PURCHASED MY FORD ESCAPE 2013 SEL IN APRIL OF 2013 AND USE MY CAR OFTEN FOR WORK SO HAVE PUT ON 23,000 MILES SO FAR. I GOT A LETTER OF A RECALL AND CALLED TO SCHEDULE MY RECALL ASAP ONLY ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT 2 MONTHS OUT. I GOT MY 3 RECALLS OF ONLY ONE I WAS NOTIFIED OF PERFORMED JUNE 16TH 2014 AND PICKED UP MY CAR JUNE 20TH FROM SAN LEANDRO FORD THINKING AND HOPING I WOULD NOW BE DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I REALIZED MY RIGHT HEAD-LIGHT WASN'T WORKING SO TOOK IT BACK TO FIND OUT THE TECHNICIAN FORGOT TO PLUG MY HEADLIGHT IN. TWO WEEKS LATER I TOOK A TRIP OVER 300 MILES AWAY AND HAD NO TROUBLES AFTER MULTIPLE MTN PASSES UNTIL OUR FINAL CLIMB WHEN MY 2013 ESCAPE JUMPED FROM REGULAR ENGINE HEAT TO OVERHEATING AND MAXED OUT IN THE RED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. WE PULLED OVER LET IT COOL AND TRIED AGAIN, OVERHEATED AGAIN AND HAD AN OIL BURNING SMELL WITH FEAR OF ENGINE CATCHING FIRE!! IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT BISHOP FORD. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT FORD DEALERSHIP 6 HOURS FROM MY HOME WITH NO REASON AS TO WHY IT IS STILL OVERHEATING! FORD TECH (CORPORATE LOCATION) WAS NON-RESPONSIVE TO LOCAL TECH AND CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE! WARNING RECALL DOES NOT WORK! *JS
