Consumer Description

I am having to add coolant in the reservoir. There is a indicator on the dashboard states coolant low. I don't know where the coolant is going. They're no visible leaks. I have not had a recall for this matter. Recalled are 2014 Ford Escape. They can overheat due to lack of antifreeze. Lack of coolant circulation could cause the engine to overheat and experience a crack in the cylinder head. A cracked head can cause pressurized oil leaks, oil that can leak onto hot engines. There have been reported fires.
