NHTSA Complaint #11061468 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

COOLANT LOSS, ENGINE OVERHEATING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN-CONSTANTLY REPLACING ENGINE COOLANT-A FEW OUNCES- DEPENDING ON MILES DRIVEN, TEMP. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, BUT MY VEHICLE, IS ONLY 1 MONTH OFF RECALLS COVERED FOR EXACT SAME ISSUES? COOLANT LOSS IS NEVER FOUND? FORD FORCED CUSTOMER TO ENDURE DIAGNOSTIC FEES ON ALL 1.6L ENGINES, WHEN UPON REVIEW & JUST A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, THERE ARE OODLES OF CUSTOMERS THAT SUFFER, SOME WHO HAVE EVEN STARTED FIRE & FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. UPON TAKING MY VEHICLE, OF COURSE ALL THE REMEDIES TO FIX ARE THE EXACT SAME AS THE ONES FOR THE 2013 FORD ESCAPE 1.6L ON THE NHTSA RECALL INFO PAGE I REVIEWED FOR THE4X4 MANUFACTURED BEFORE 9/2012, I'M MANUFACTURED 10/2012? COINCIDENCE? WHY MUST CONSUMERS BARE THE BRUNT OF THESE COSTLY REPAIRS & FORD IGNORE THESE ISSUES? THIS HAPPENS DRIVING ALL THE TIME, STREET OR HIGHWAY, VARIABLE SPEEDS & MOSTLY UNDER COLDER WEATHER CONDITIONS. FORD CHARGED ME $112 PRESSURE TESTED & DIAGNOSED NEW DEGAS BOTTLE, STAND PIPE & FUEL REGULATOR, SAME AS EXISTING RECALL FOR SAME YEAR, JUST NOT MY MONTH OF MANUFACTURE? DEALER TO CHARGE MY +$1100 CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO HELP, THEY REFERENCE AN OLD OVERHEAT RECALL NOT EVEN RELATED TO COOLANT THAT SHOULD HAVE REMEDIED MY PROBLEM FROM 2015? NONE OF THE COOLANT ISSUES HAVE EVER BEEN ADDRESSED ON MY VEHICLE, PLS. ADVISE. THANK YOU!
