problem #3

Jul 012023

Escape 1.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

Check engine light came on but it wouldn't effect anything. The turbo solenoid valve had failed. The problem would fix itself from time to time. I eventually fixed it but now this one failed. The check engine light is gone for now though... I hope a tornado takes this car away from me this spring.

Escape SEL

  • Automatic transmission
  • 101,000 miles

I was without my car for close to 2 weeks while parts and repairs were done. An ecoboost failure destroyed the catalytic converter. It snowed and the loaner I was given wasn't all wheel drive. It was a huge pain in my ass. I have never received recall info on this issue nor as yet with the coolant issue I've also been experiencing since this ecoboost issue. Which I will be adding a new complain for here. I've only had this car for 5 years and coming from a family of dedicated Ford drivers now vow to never own another. I have dumped close to $8-10,000 into this thing in repairs.
