NHTSA Complaint #11056970 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

I HAVE A 2013 FORD ESCAPE, VIN IS [XXX], I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES ON MY CAR. IN EARLY NOVEMBER I HAD AN INCIDENT THAT SAID MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND TO "PULL OVER NOW" I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE AS I HAD ONLY STARTED DRIVING A MINUTE BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED MY CAR, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT A PROBLEM, I TOOK IT TO A PLACE TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BUT THEY NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM. HOWEVER ON NOVEMBER 20TH I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE HAPPEN AFTER ONLY DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THEY DIDN'T SEE THE ISSUE THEMSELVES. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY CAR MECHANIC AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CHANGED AS PER A RECOMMENDATION FROM A FRIEND HE HAD THAT WORKS FOR FORD. I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK A FEW DAYS AGO AND TODAY I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I DID TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TODAY HOWEVER I AM COMPLETELY APPALLED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD OVER 14 RECALLS.. ALL OF WHICH I HAVE GOTTEN FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2013 FORD ESCAPES THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
