2014 FORD ESCAPE Engine Problems

ON FEBRUARY 2017 I BROUGHT A 2014 FORD ESCAPE AT ABOUT 59 K MILES AND NOW IT HAS ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT. I WAS TOTALLY CLUELESS AS TO HOW UNSAFE THIS CAR WAS AND ALL OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/ISSUES THAT CONSUMERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS CAR. ON 09/22/2017, THIS CAR TOTALLY BROKE DOWN. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR WITHOUT MADE A LOUD NOISE, AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING JUST STOPPED/SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. NONE OF THE SAFETY INDICATOR ALERTS WORKED IN THIS CAR SO I WAS CLUELESS THAT THE CARD HAD ANY ISSUES. I ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AT THE TIME AND IT WAS CLEARLY OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION, BAD BATTERY, ABS ISSUES AND POSSIBLY AN ALTERNATOR. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT...

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, AT HIGHWAY SPEED ( MY DAUGHTER GOTTEN ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME ) AND ENGINE FAULT LIGHT CAME ON, CAR SPUTTERED, SERVICE NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY SMOKE STARTED TO COME INTO THE CAR. SHE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND RAN FROM CAR AND CALLED 911 THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER HOOD. THE FIRE WAS VERY LARGE AND TOTALED CAR. TIME FROM ENGINE FAULT LIGHT TO FIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS TO 45 SECONDS. THAT PART IS AN ESTIMATE. NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR CORP AND THEY GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER. CURRENTLY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS THE CAR BUT WILL PROBABLY MAKE A CLAIM TO FORD. IT WAS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE BECAUSE IT HAD THE SAME KIND OF SPUTTER. THEY ALSO WORKED ON 4 RECALLS AT THIS TIME. WHEN TALKING TO FMC, THE LADY STATED...

MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON I WENT TO THE AUTOZONE TO PUT IN THE MACHINE I AM HAVING PROBLEM WHIT THE TURBO. AND WHEN I LEAVE MY CAR DOOR OPEN TO CLEAN MY CAR MY ENGINE DIE COMPLETELY IT DOES THIS NUMERO TIME. I AM SINGLE MOM I WORK VERY HARD I PAY MY CAR NOTE ON TIME EVERY MONTH KNOW IS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT HOW I WILL FIX MY CAR I CANT EVEN AFFORD IT ALL I AM THINKING ABOUT THE CAR NOTE OR FIX THE CAR, PLEASE FORD HELP.

ENGINE COOLANT SENSOR RE-PROGRAM RECALL. THIS WAS CORRECTED OCTOBER 10, 2017 AT FORD DEALERSHIP IN BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS. ALSO FOUR DOOR LATCHES WERE RECALL AND REPLACED AT SAME TIME.

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PDF. IT IS THE LETTER I SENT TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. MY COMPLAINT FOCUSES ON THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND THE CONSTANT LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE FAULT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND BEGAN TO SEE SMOKE FROM ENGINE. FIRST THOUGHT WAS OVERHEATING OR SIMILAR. WITHIN MINUTES NOTICED FLAMES FROM UNDER HOOD NEAR WINDSHIELD. GOT OUT OF CAR AND WITHIN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS ENGINE ISSUE AND NOT A MAINTAINANCE ISSUE. THIS WAS A FLEET VEHICLE PROPERLY MAINTAINED UNTIL I PURCHASED IT FROM THAT EMPLOYER 1 YEAR PRIOR.

MAR 27,2017 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 17S09 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17S09 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE SEEMS TO BE TAKING A LONG TIME TIME TO FIND AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION. I HAVE TO KEEP ADDING COOLANT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK SINCE 08/26/2015. NO WATER IN THE OIL DURING RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE NOT ONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY KILL ME. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW IN THE STATE OF TEXAS? I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SWAP IT FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THIS IS WHY I AM...

DRIVING MY 2014 ESCAPE TO WORK I WAS ON A 35 MPH STREET, AN ALERT WARNING CAME ON TELLING ME THE ENGINE WAS HOT AND TO SAFELY STOP VEHICLE. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE WAS AT THE HOT. I PULLED OVER AND IT SLOWLY WENT BACK DOWN ENOUGH WHERE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION A MILE AWAY. WHEN CHECKED, MY COOLANT OVERFLOW WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I HAD SOMEONE TAKE ME TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT COOLANT AND REPLACED IT BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND CHECKED THE LEVEL, THE COOLANT WAS AGAIN LOW. THE ENGINE WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH, INCLUDING THE HANDLE TO LATCH OPEN THE HOOD. I REMEMBERED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, 17S09/ NHTSA RECALL 17V-209, AND WAS WAITING FOR THE SECOND RECALL LETTER WHEN THE PARTS WERE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. IT STATED IF THE VEHICLE LEAKED COOLANT OR BECAME HOT, IT...

RECALL 17S09 FOR ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO CRACKS AND RESULTING IN OIL LEAKS. DEALERSHIP CYPRESS COAST FORD IN SEASIDE CA CONTINUES TO CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE RECALL. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND SINCE I DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY I AM AT RISK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T RESOLVED THE RECALL/ DEFECT.

I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FOR MY CAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE DUE TO A CRACKED HEAD. WHEN I CHECK FOR A RESOLUTION ALL I SEE IS THAT FORD HAS A PLAN TO CORRECT.. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT THE REPAIR.. WHEN DO THEY HAVE TO START ACTING ON THE RECALL?

VEHICLE COMMONLY OVERHEATS, LOSS OF COOLANT. OVERHEATING OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING UPHILL AT GREATER THAN 40 MPH WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON, OR IN ANY GEAR WHEN ENGINE SPEED IS HELD ABOVE 3500 RPM AND AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. COOLANT LOSS OCCURS AT ABOUT 20 OZ PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED SPANGLER MOTORS (LOCATED AT 5620 PA-405, MILTON, PA 17847 (570) 742-8725) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON, IT WILL SOMETIMES RUN JUST FINE, OTHER TIMES IT WILL DRIVE FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN DO THE SAME THING. IF IT SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, IT WILL THEN DRIVE FINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL OR WILL NOT COME ON WHEN IT DOES THIS. I HAVE HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP HAVING THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST $900. ALL OF THESE INCIDENCES HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. PRIOR TO THE CAR ACTING UP, THE CAR HAD BEEN IN PARK IDLING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT DATE THIS OCCURRED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN AN ALERT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD: "ENGINE ERROR 1"--- AND, I NOTICED MY BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON. IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE SLOWED, BUT I WAS ABLE TO EEK TO AN EXIT AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK, I NOTICED SMOKE SLOWLY WAFTING FROM BENEATH THE HOOD, NEAR THE WINDSHIELD...AND THEN I SPOTTED AN ORANGE FLAME. I QUICKLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. AFTER THE FIREMEN STOPPED THE FIRE, I SAW THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, HAD MELTED AWAY.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JULY 2013. IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 2014 ESCAPE MODELS MADE. AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING IT (2014), I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON ONE MORNING AND I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "ENGINE FAULT - SERVICE NOW". I PROCEEDED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON, AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I MENTIONED WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE MESSAGE WAS STILL ON THERE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS (2015-2016), I WOULD GET THE MESSAGE RANDOMLY, BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVING SEEMED TO BE THE SAME, SO IT DIDN'T CAUSE TOO MUCH CONCERN. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS (2017), I HAVE NOTICED THE MESSAGE RETURNING "ENGINE FAULT - SERVICE NOW." WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN...

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ANNOUNCED A RECALL REGARDING LEAKING COOLANT, RESULTANT CRACKED CYLINDER HEADS, AND RESULTANT UNDERHOOD/VEHICLE FIRES, ON MARCH 27, 2017. THE MANUFACTURER'S AND NHTSA'S RECALL NUMBER IS 17S09. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE, AS VEHICLE FIRE'S ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN INJURY AND OR DEATH. AS OF AUGUST 16, 2017, FORD HAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE ANY REMEDY WHATSOEVER FOR THIS ISSUE; FORD HAS FAILED TO TIMELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MOREOVER, FORD'S PROPOSED REMEDY, WHICH AGAIN IS NOT AVAILABLE 5 MONTHS AFTER ITS IDENTIFYING THE ISSUE, IS A COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR, WHICH DOES NOT ADDRESS AT ALL THE UNDERLYING ISSUE OF LEAKING COOLANT, AND THUS DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT THE RESULTANT VEHICLE/UNDERHOOD FIRES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, A HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLANT IN THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ADDED COOLANT AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE CONTACT NOTICED LOW COOLANT LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH PREMIER FORD (2120 US-45, COLUMBUS, MS 39705) WHO STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), AND THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED; HOWEVER, THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF THE INCIDENT AND INFORM NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND ADDED COOLANT AND OIL. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE OF THE VEHICLE. AUTONATION FORD TORRANCE IN TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17S09000 (ENGINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000.

MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE HAS A COOLANT LEAK. IT HAS OVERHEATED AT LEAST 3 TIME WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AS A RESULT MY VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED ENGINE DAMAGE. THERE IS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM. I THINK FORD SHOULD REPLACE/ REPAIR THE ENGINE AT NO CHARGE. THEY DON'T AGREE.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY HESITATES AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY FORD ESCAPE HAS BEEN HAVING OVERHEATING ISSUES FOR MONTHS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT ONLY TO HAVE MADE IT WORSE AS THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN DUE TO OVERHEATING. THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND THEIR REPAIR IS A SENSOR TO WARN OF LOW COOLANT. THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE COOLANT LEAKING. WHERE IS THE ACTUAL FIX FOR THAT??? A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T FIX THE MANUFACTURING ISSUE OF LEAKING COOLANT. A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE LEAKING PROBLEMS!!! WHILE IN MOTION, THE OVERHEATING SENSORS TURN ON AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FORD PRETENDED THEY HAD NO IDEA ABOUT AN OVERHEATING ISSUE AND CHARGED ME $800 TO FIX IT AND YET, IT ACTUALLY FIXED NOTHING!!! STILL OVERHEATING, AND I'M STILL OUT $800 AND NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT.

THE DEALER (FRONTIER FORD, 12610 THOMPSON RD, ANACORTES, WA 98221, (360) 293-3105) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN FOR THE "SYNC WITH MY FORD, MY LINCOLN" TOUCH CAMPAIGN, WHICH COVERED ACCESSORY PROTOCOL INTERFACE MODULE APIM.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE FAULT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

ON EACH COLD START, IN PARK, HEAVY PUFF OF BLUE SMOKE EMITS FROM EXHAUST. VEHICLE HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY AND PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED. DEALER SERVICE ADVISER STATES INTERNAL OIL LEAK ONTO ENGINE HEAD, LIKELY REQUIRING ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE TO EXPAND MODELS WITHIN CURRENT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V209000 AND/OR RESEARCH ADDITIONAL ISSUE WITH LEAKS IN CERTAIN FORD ENGINES. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V209000, AND A VIN SEARCH ON THE NHTSA SITE CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO SUCH RECALL; HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN THE SAME DANGER AS THOSE LISTED IN THE ABOVE-REFERENCED NHTSA RECALL EITHER FOR THE REASONS STATED IN THE RECALL OR ADDITIONAL REASONS. THANK YOU.

WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR LESS THAN 10 MINUTES FROM HOME AFTER JUST STARTING UP FOR THE MORNING IN JUNE 27, 2017 UNDER HOOD STARTED TO SMOKE, CAUGHT ON FIRE, AN EXPLOSION SOUND AND CAR BURNED UP . CAR HAD TO BE PUT OUT BY FIRE DEPARTMENT. TOTAL LOSS PER INSURANCE COMPANY . THIS CAR HAS A ENGINE FIRE RECALL AND I WAS TOLD RECALL WORK WAS DONE PRIOR TO SALE OF THE CAR TO ME BY FORD DEALER IN MAY 2017. HOWEVER I NOW FIND OUT THAT THE ACTUAL RECALL PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FROM FORD AND THAT ONLY AN INSPECTION WAS DONE PRIOR TO SALE. NOT AN ACTUAL REPAIR. THE RECALL HAD TO DO WITH ENGINE FIRES ! MAYBE ALL THESE CARS NEED TO BE OF THE ROAD.

I HAVE AN ID# 10971972 THAT I GOT WHEN I CALLED NHTSA BACK IN APRIL, ALSO FILLED OUT A FORM & RETURNED TO WASHINGTON OFFICE IN JUNE THAT WAS MAILED TO ME BACK IN MAY - TOO MUCH TO EXPLAIN HERE, I WILL ATTACH A WORD DOC WITH DETAILED ISSUE INFO

"TAKATA RECALL"......I STOPPED BY 7-11 ATM TO GET SOME MONEY AND OTHER ITEMS...UPON RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE I NOTICED IT WOULD NOT START. THE DASHBOARD SAID IT WAS IN REVERSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK MODE. I SPEND APPROXIMATELY 3.5 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TRYING TO GET SOME REAL HELP. AFTER NO SUCCESS, I WENT THRU THREE DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS WHO WERE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ON HOW TO HANDLE A VEHICLE THAT WAS DISABLED, STUCK IN REVERSE AND WOULD NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COOLANT LEAK. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000(ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY UNTIL OCTOBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,600. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ROUGHLY FOUR WEEKS AGO, I RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING WHEN I WAS PARKED. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW RESERVE BOTTLE AND CHARGED ME NEARLY $300. AT THIS POINT, THEY INSPECTED MY COOLANT SYSTEM AND TOPPED OFF MY COOLANT WHICH WAS LOW. TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND I RECEIVED A SEVERE WARNING FOR OVER HEATING. MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND AN ALARM WAS GOING OFF. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO OBSERVE THAT MY COOLANT BOTTLE WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR NEARLY A WEEK BEFORE THEY DISCOVERED NOW THAT I NEED A NEW COOLANT BYPASS VALVE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL (17S09) TO INCLUDE THE ACTUAL ISSUE OF WHAT IS CAUSING THE LOCALIZED OVERHEATING, WHICH IS A LACK OF COOLANT FLOWING...

THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH MODERATE DRIVING. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL AND IT IS LOW. ONE MONTH AGO, THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS CHECKED, IT WAS LOW AND IT WAS TOPPED OFF. THE COOLANT LEVEL SHOULD NOT GO DOWN IN ONE MONTH OF MODERATE DRIVING. ALSO, LOOKING UP INFO ON THE 2014 FORD ESCAPE, THERE IS A HISTORY OF COOLANT AND OVERHEATING ISSUES. THERE IS A DANGER OF FIRE OR THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKING. FORD'S ANSWER WAS TO INSTALL A DETECTOR TO TELL CAR OWNER'S WHEN THE COOLANT LEVEL IS LOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 MPH AND THE RPMS MALFUNCTIONED BY INCREASING AND DECREASING RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HEAVY WHITISH, BLUE SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED ON FOUR OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL INITIATED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT AND WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL HER INSURANCE COMPANY AND DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR CLEANER WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE HAD BEEN BURNING LONG ENOUGH FOR PLASTIC TO BE INGESTED INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. THERE WAS NO SERIOUS INVESTIGATION UNDERTAKEN AND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE REMAINS UNKNOWN. ADDITIONALLY, FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSED TO FIX THE ENGINE UNDER THE TERMS OF THEIR WARRANTY.

RECEIVED RECALL 17S09 ONE WEEK STATING LOSS OF COOLANT COULD CAUSE CYLINDER HEAD TO CRACK AND OIL TO LEAK OUT ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATCH FIRE. THE VERY NEXT WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD MY ESCAPE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE DRINKS IN THE CAR TO BE ABLE TO GET THE FIRE OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE. TOWED VEHICLE TO FORD SHOP AND CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE KNOWING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME IN REPAIRING VEHICLE.
