Consumer Description
Seems I have one of the Ford Escapes that coolant is leaking into the cylinders, I have 47500 miles on my 2017 Escape. Was informed that the engine needs to be replaced. Car overheated with my [XXX] in the car during a torrential rainfall driving on a highway where people had their hazard lights on because of the rain. By the time we got home there wasn't a drop of coolant. Added some and it was empty the next day, nothing on the road, My mechanic said it's not leaking it's going into the cylinder to the motor. Now I have to go car shopping can't have a dangerous car like this with my granddaughter in the car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
