problem #2

Jan 112020

Escape SE 1.5L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,700 miles

The ford dealership has been 5 star service we got a rental right away. Engine coolant disappeared and the mechanic found it in the oil. Piston valve 2 is what i believe he said. I have no beef with ford but this is the first ford i ever had a problem with. Even minor stuff no problems at all.But kinda weird how there was no visible or sounds of a problem even the day it happened. we had a 2007 f150 we had a 2014 fusion se which was t- boned and no one got hurt. then we have the escape and i guess it wasn't 3rd time lucky..lol I'm not gonna slam ford every car company has their issues but 1 thing that actually led me to buy a ford was.. they never took the bailout they made their product better to sell it and get out on their own!!! props to ford for that!!

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

The car was taken to the dealer and they claimed it was the head gasket, at 30000 miles on a new car that is unreal. They replaced the head gasket for it to happen again 3 days later with the over heating, sluggish and unsafe to even drive that it needed towed in the second time.
