Consumer Description

I had an issue in 2022 with my 2018 ford escape they said I had no antifreeze left and needed a transmission it took 5 months but never found the antifreeze issue or fixed it. Now engine light came on to be told a TSB came out 3 months after my repair with a diagnosis for the issues I have had since purchased car. They are refusing to fix unless it’s under warranty I had a warranty when I first took car in 2022 but now I am just out a $35,000 car that I can’t afford to replace engine. TSB report Ford don’t care nor want to assist in anyway with an issue reported and brought up before warranty expired yet I am at fault now. Not ok they should be fixing this issue for free but due to entire engine being damaged they are just letting customers lose everything including a job when they don’t have a way to get to work after paying for 6 years and won’t offer help
