Consumer Description
I bought a Ford Escape 2017 and noticed it started having engine problems I took it to a repair facility and they told me the coolant was leaking into the cylinders. They told me to fix it I would have to get a whole new engine for $8,000, this is so much for a car I just got; I can't get it fixed through Ford since there is no recall. I have already wasted so much money trying to fix it for what the mechanics thought it was, on top of that $2,530 for taking apart the engine to diagnose it. Ford needs to recall these vehicles, this is a manufacturing error on their part and they should pay to get it fixed along with the maintenance people have paid to try to fix this issue.
