problem #1

May 032014

Escape SE 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,875 miles

Cheap aluminum heat shield to protect floor pan from exhaust system heat.

Noticed it was hanging down loose about 4 months after we purchased the vehicle used.

Dealership tried to fix, but a while later it was broken again, and more of the shield missing.

Dealership asked for $700 for parts and labour.

I bought the part for $155 and installed it myself in 30 minutes.
