Description of the problem | 2014 escape recalled to fix coolant leak. 6 months later the coolant is leaking and warped the head gasket. Had the vehicle towed to ford, they are trying to deny responsibility, despite the service department directly stating on my invoice "engine coolant leak caused head gasket to warp." my car has been at the dealership for 15 days and they still have not worked on it because they are arguing who is responsible with my warranty company. It seems like a lot of people are experiencing the same poor workmanship. I am now contacting an attorney, with all these cases we may have a class action suit against ford. |
