Consumer Description

MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE, WITH A 1.6L GTDI ECOBOOST ENGINE, BUILT IN LOUISVILLE, KY IN MARCH 2014 LEAKS ENGINE COOLANT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON JUNE 6, 2014. I HAVE PUT MY VIN INTO THE NHTSA NATIONAL RECALL SITE AND IT SAYS MY CAR IS NOT RECALLED. HOWEVER, FORD SAFETY RECALL 17S09 SUPPLEMENTAL #1, DATED DECEMBER 13, 2017, AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V209, AFFECTING 230,000 2014 ESCAPES CLEARLY STATES THAT MY VEHICLE, MANUFACTURED IN MARCH 2014, SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN LOUISVILLE BETWEEN FEB 13, 2013 AND SEPT 2, 2014, THE RECALL TIMELINE. MY CAR, LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT, IS EXACTLY THAT DESCRIBED IN FORD SAFETY RECALL 17S09. IN THE PAST 10 WEEKS OR SO I HAVE NOTICED COOLANT ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND HAVE FILLED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR AT LEAST 8 TIMES. AT ONE TIME THE HEATER DID NOT WORK AND THE RESERVOIR WAS NEARLY EMPTY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAUSING THE CYLINDER TO CRACK AND SPEW OIL RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. I CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 39,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS VEHICLE VIN IS NOT RECALLED, I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE A DETAILED ANSWER WHY IT IS NOT SINCE IT MEETS ALL THE PARAMETERS OF SAFETY RECALL 17S09 SUPPLEMENTAL #1 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V209. THANK YOU.
