Consumer Description

I had bought my 2014 escape less then four years ago. Back in June 2023 I had my dashboard light up with engine overheating pull over safely while I was driving. I pulled my car over as best as I could and saw my coolant was low. I was able to drive the five miles or so home after refilling the coolant. The coolant was again empty when I got home. The dealership checked and said no leaks or anything but I still have to refill my coolant every two days. From researching there are many issues with ford escape and coolant leaking. I am too scared to even drive it especially with my family in it knowing this leak may cause a fire or something
