Consumer Description

LEAKING COOLANT EVAPORATES ON THE HOT ENGINE, THE GLYCOL MAY IGNITE CAUSING A ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. COOLANT EVAPORATED OVER FOUR DAYS TIME, THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION OR ON HIGHWAY. LIGHT CAME ON TO WARN ME. HAVE BROUGHT THIS FOUR TIMES TO MECHANICS, YESTERDAY BEING THE FIFTH TIME TO FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN FIXED PREVIOUSLY TO ME OWNING IT. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2013 FORD ESCAPES. NOW I'M PAYING OUT OVER 500.00 NOT INCLUDING A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I'M VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE HONESTLY THE ISSUE WASN'T FIXED AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT. PEOPLE DON'T PURCHASE VEHICLES TO BE IN THE SHOP CONSTANTLY..
