Description of the problem | While traveling on the highway, my engine suddenly overheated and i was given an alarm displaying that its overheating and stop safely. When opening my lid, i found the coolant level had dropped below minimum. I had no warning that my coolant level was suddenly low and the car had been operating fine the previous day and earlier in the morning. I added water to the system and after returning the car to a safe temp, drove it to a store. The check engine light came on instantly after the heating issue. Ford has a recall for this issue including 2014 ford escape, however my vin does not register as being applicable to the recall (although seems like identical issue.) this is the second time between 50-56000 miles this same issue has occurred. |
