NHTSA Complaint #11288248 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

MY VEHICHLE HAD BEEN MAKING A NOISE AND STARTED LETTING OUT A GRAY SMOKE FROM TE EXHAUST. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING "OIL" INTO THE MOTOR AND I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS COMING FROM THEREFORE FORD APPROVED A NEW ENGINE REPLACEMENT SICE I AM STILL UNDER WARRANTY ( 31,000 MILES). EVEN IF A NEW ENGINE IS REPLACED. THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING OIL FROM STILL DOES NOT RULE OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND WHEN. ALSO EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP MY CAR TURNS OFF AND DOES NOT TURN BACK ON WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO FINALLY SAY RECALL THESE VEHICLES???? I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN I DRIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY.. MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY IN ON THE LINE HERE. DO FORD CEO'S REALIZE THAT? DO FORD CEO'S HAVE CHILDREN? GRANDCHILDREN? MAYBE THEIR CHILDREN/GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD RIDE IN THESE FAULTY VEHICLES AND BE PUT AT RISK AND THEN MAYBE THEY WILL RE THINK THEIR DECISION OF RECALLING !!!!!!!!
