NHTSA Complaint #11691286 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

After visiting the mechanic 4 times in a month and half and having my spark plugs and ignition coils changed 4 times, they found my 2017 Ford escape had a coolant intrusion which was affecting the engine. Every time I turn on my car it shakes uncontrollably and when it runs it occasionally shakes or stutters. Ford knew of this issue and could of have mitigated by recalling the vehicle for repairs. Especially the financial strain many people face from being told it would cost close to 10k to get it fixed. Without many people having funds to pay for repairs or purchase a new car, it forces people to continue to use the vehicle until it finally complete shuts down. Additionally, many people don't even know of the issue until its too late and it has caused issues. This a significant concern because this issue can cause cars stalling/seizures and significant car accidents because of those stalls.
