Consumer Description

Got my escape on christmas eve 2024. Problem started there before we got down the road from dealership. Call dealership explained car was overheatings told to bring back day after christmas. Took back car supposedly repair with new sensors and the issue was resolved. February noticed was loosing water out and overheating AGAIN. Replaced water reservoir and hoses and now car is still saying "ENGINE COOLANT LOW SERVICE RREQUIRED" and it is completely full of coolant. Took to shop had a code pulled on it and it showed thermostat housing and assembly. I called Ford they said not their problem, file complaint. I have had nothing but overheating problems with this 2013 Ford escape.When it overheats it shuts down no matter where you are at very dangerous.
