NHTSA Complaint #11301595 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR 40MI/HR ON DECEMBER 23RD, THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT FLUID MESSAGE CAME ON, AND ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER, THERE WAS A MESSAGE SAYING THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO PULL OVER SAFELY IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR STARTING STALLING AND I PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER PUTTING MORE ENGINE COOLANT, IT WORKED JUST FINE. THEN TWO WEEKS THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT MESSAGE CAME BACK ON AND I TOOK IT TO MIDAS IN WESTLAND, MI WHERE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DETECT A LEAK. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT THE SAME SITUATION WITH THE LOW ENGINE COOLANT SIGNAL, OVERHEATING ENGINE, AND STALLING CAR HAPPENED, FOLLOWED BY MORE ENGINE COOLANT ADDED TO CAR. SINCE THEN IT HAS DRIVEN JUST FINE BUT I'M AFRAID IT WILL STALL OR START AN ENGINE FIRE.
