Description of the problem | 2014 ford escape titanium, 1. 6 ecoboost engine, since around 55000 miles, nothing but issues related to engine and cooling systems... Car had recall that ford did not have parts for, engine froze up coolant and oil all over the inside of the engine and needed to be replaced, ford replaced engine due to the fact that it was documented they did not have the parts for the recall yet and the worst case scenario happened. This shouldn't happen in a car that has 55000 miles on it. They installed the coolant sensor at that time as well. Then at 75,000 miles, the transmission went without warning while driving with 2 children in the car. I had it replaced by my private mechanic for $4500. Last week, used the factory installed remote start x1 in 20 degree new england weather, and when tried to go out to car, the high temp code was on and the engine wouldnt start. Let it sit for 5 hours in the 20 degree weather, clearly engine now cool but still wouldn't start... Had it towed to my mechanic, next am he let me know that the 2018 coolant sensor was blown and leaking coolant... Replaced and repaired at cost of $250... Why should a sensor go after only 2 years? So many issues with this one car all around the coolant and the engine. I have contacted the lawsuit filed in december to join this as well. |
