Description of the problem | 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. |
