NHTSA Complaint #11542748 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

Check Engine light was going on and off for a month on 2017 Ford Escape SE with less than 60,000 miles. Was driving to dealership to have it checked out. Before getting to the dealership, an audible and visual Overheating Engine warning occurred. The dealership said they could not look at the car for at least two weeks. They replied that the engine needed replacement "REPLACE LONGBLOCK COOLANT IN CYL#4" with a price tag of $9,339.29. Ford knows about the issue and will not issue a recall. Not only is this extremely horrible product and customer service, it is a huge safety issue as the car could have overheated while going at high speeds and/or caused harm and damage to occupants and others on the road.
