Description of the problem | 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. |
