NHTSA Complaint #11082358 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

FORDS 1.5L ENGINE HAS A FUEL IN OIL. EVEN AFTER OIL CHANGE AFTER CAR DRIVEN JUST 30 MILES HIGHWAY MILES OIL HAD ALMOST A QUART OF FUEL IN IT. TURBO IS BURNING COOLANT. EVERY TWO WEEKS HAVE TO ADD COOLANT TO RESERVOIR BECAUSE TURBO IS BURNING IT. TRANSMISSION WHINES VERY LOUD ON TAKE OFFS AND UP SHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFT FOR NO REASON WHEN RUNNING AT SAME HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CARS HAS VERY POOR POWER, BUT EATS FUEL LIKE A V-8. FUEL MILEAGE IS 17 TO 19 MPG HIGHWAY 16-17 CITY. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE 30 MPG THEY CLAIM IT GETS. BOUGHT CAR NEW IN JUNE 2017 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION TO INTERIOR TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WILL TAKE BACK TO DEALER AGAIN TO BE TOLD " THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM". SO I GUESS MOTOR NEEDS TO CATCH FIRE OR SOMEONE HAS TO GET KILLED BEFORE FORD REALLY ADDRESS'S THE PROBLEMS. CAR HAS LITTLE OVER 12,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND PROBLEMS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED. I CONTACTED FORD IN DETROIT, MI ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND THEY COULD HAVE CARED LESS. THE "CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM" SAYING FROM DEALERSHIP SEEM TO BE DETROIT FORDS ANSWER TO EVERYTHING TO AVOID FIXING THE PROBLEMS I AM SURE THEY ARE A WHERE OF. I AM NOT THE FIRST OR LAST PERSON TO REPORT TO BE HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. FORD SEEM TO BE HOPING TO RUN PROBLEMS OUT LONG ENOUGH SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX THEM UNDER WARRANTY AND MAKE THEM MY PROBLEM TO FIX. AFTER A LITTLE LOOKING AROUND THE INTERNET I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE FORD ESCAPES AS I AM AND GETTING BLOWN OFF BY FORD. FORD HAS YET TO ISSUED ONE TSB FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS THEY CLEARLY KNOW ARE HAPPENING WITH THESE CARS AND MOTOR'S. FORD HAS ISSUED BAND AIDS THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR EARLIER YEARS BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM RIGHT. HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE YOU MAKE FORD FIX THE PROBLEM RIGHT? I THINK IT'S TIME TO CONTACT A LAWYER.
