Consumer Description

A MONTH AGO I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON. IT RAN REALLY ROUGH AND FELT LIKE I WAS GOING OVER ROCKS THE WAY THE SUV WAS RUNNING. ON MY PHONE I HAD AN APP THAT SAID THERE WAS A MISFIRE. THEY FIXED IT SAYING THEY REPLACED SOME WIRES. A WEEK AGO THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AGAIN. I FELT A BIT OF A JOLT COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I DIDNT FIND TIME TIL 2 WEEKS LATER BECAUSE OF MY SCHEDULE.SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. ON MY WAY THERE, THE COOLANT LEVEL WENT HIGH AND I HAD ANOTHER MISFIRE AGAIN. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SEEN THE COOLANT LEAK AND NOTICE THE MISFIRE. THIS FORD ESCAPE IS ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD AND I ALREADY HAD 2 MISFIRE SITUATIONS AND A COOLANT LEAK. I ONLY GO TO WORK AND ONLY DID ONE TRIP TO JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK. IT HAS 23,000 MILES ONLY BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL 30 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A LEMON SEEING HOW THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
