Escape

  • 105,000 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from under the hood of the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and the contact was informed that the water pump was leaking, and that the bearing in the water pump was inoperable causing the abnormal sound. The mechanic recommended the removal of the stress belt and replacing the timing belt. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
