2014 Ford Escape 4X2 overflow coolant tank causing coolant to leak. 230,000 cars have been repaired by Ford but they will not repair mine without a $230+cost. For some unknown reason my serial number is not covered. Lack of coolant leads to overheating and cracked head gasket. The car did reduce power and sound a pull over immediately warning on 2 occasions. The car has 55,000 miles.

2014 Ford Escape recall on the transmission : I recently purchased this car in September 30, 2017 I had the car less than 6 months and the transmission was shifting in and out of gears by itself. I took the vehicle back to the dealership that I had just purchased the vehicle from which is ivory Chevrolet. And I informed the car salesman by the name of ronnie who sold me the vehicle, that the vehicles transmission was slipping. Ronnie then told me that there was nothing that he could do, because the warranty was expired. So I asked him what can be done he then stated that I may have to just drive it until the transmission goes out, which didn't make any sense to me. On May 22, 2018 I was on my way to work when the transmission slipped out of gear which stopped in the middle of the street, this was one week after I took the vehicle back to the dealership ivory Chevrolet. When the transmission slippped out of gear there was smoke coming from under the hood, and the car would not go into drive or reverse. So I had to leave the car in the middle of the street which had a lot of on going traffic. I had to leave the car in the and I had to call my insurance company state farm for road side assistance, to tow the vehicle to residence. I then had to replace the transmission using money that I did not have. On June 1, 2018, I put the vehicle in a transmission shop I had to pay 1300 for the parts and the labor (woody's transmission shop). Once I got the vehicle out of the transmission shop the transmission is jerking and seems like there is still a problem with it after getting a new transmission replaced and it's been almost 3 weeks since I have had the vehicle back and now the check engine light is on, and the transmission is jerking very hard. I seen on fox5 this morning that there has been a recall on the vehicle. Saying that one reason why the vehicle had a

Gas filling problem: When filling gas tank with gas, the gas shuts off repeatedly. This happens at "every" gas station I go to. It takes 15 minutes to fill a 12 gallon tank. Infuriating. This has been an ongoing problem since 2017 thru 2018 and getting worse. Statement below "when did this happen" is wrong because it happens each time I go to the gas station. You should remove the required question below on this form.

Ford recall 17S09 was issued over a year ago. 15 months later, Ford has given me the runaround about fixing the problem. I have been in contact with them for about 6 months, have actually gotten appointments at my local dealership and they have disregarded my problem and will not respond to my needs. I have also contacted Ford manfuacturing. On recorded calls they have failed to either help me with my problem or had a supervisor contacted me as requested. Help?

I was driving on a flat road, traveling 35 mph and my check engine light came on and the car died. I had it towed to the dealership and they said the "wire repair harness 3526 cpd" had came loose. I had not ran over anything at all and the vehicle is in great shape, always maintenanced by dealer, 38,569 miles. I was told my VIN was not covered by recall but online I found recalls for 2014 for Escape for the wiring harness. I paid for the repair but I believe this should not occur on a 2014 vehicle and should have been covered by a recall.

When it rains hard I have a leak behind the passenger seat that comes from the light fixture - I have seen so many complaints about this from 2012 Escapes thru 2017 Escapes - their seems to be no fix - my biggest concern is the headliner (which everyone says not to touch) and the smell Ford suggested I contact you - I would assume this happens when the car is stationary and it does not happen when car is run through car wash. The consumer stated the vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense and now has started to leak again.

My vehicle was overheated for about 3 times and I have reported it to the Ford dealership here in american samoa. I also received a recall notice about this vehicle (safety recall notice 17S09). Up to now, the Ford dealership have not fix this recall issue and I and my family are always at higher dangerous risk due to this unresolved recall. I have paid hundreds of dollars to the dealership for fixing the problem via other replacement parts and still nothing directly to the recall part. The recall part is the engine coolant.

I have a 2014 Ford Escape SE eco-boost, when I start the car, the engine light comes on and stays on. It comes on as soon as I start the car, while driving and sitting still. I have taken it in for service, there is no given explanation for the light to be on. However, I had the 50,000 mile check point on Saturday, December 15, 2017 and the engine light is still on. When I first purchased the car, the dashboard went completely out, I had that repaired. Now the engine light is on and stays on. Is this a sign of the engine going out, I am paying for an extended warranty for repairs. Please help.

I've been having issues with my car stalling out. It began on 11/10/17 when I started the car. I drove about 500 feet pulling up to a stop sign and the car stalled out but all electrical stayed on (I.e. radio). I turned the car back on and it drove fine for a while. The same thing happened again later on the same day. The following day it happened in the same way as I was pulling out of a parking lot. I turned it back on and it drove well for a while. Later that evening it happened again also pulling out of a parking lot. I did not drive the car again till the following morning. The car drove well for 2 days. Until today 11/15/17. It turned on in the morning. I got to my destination. Parked the car. Came back about a half hour later and I was pulling out of the parking lot only driving about 500 feet when the car stalled out again. I turned the car back on it drove to my next destination about 40 minutes away. It did not feel as if it was running as smoothly as usual. I'm afraid to drive my car as I live in a city and take highways everywhere. I would hate for my car to stall out in the middle of the highway and cause myself and others to get immensely hurt.

I first failed a state inspection (9/14/17) due to a small evap leak. I first went to a local business to get that and at the same time, the vehicle would cut off as I was driving. The local business claimed to have fixed the evap leak (after waiting a week for the part (10/13/17), but had no idea about the vehicle stalling. I then took the vehicle to a Ford dealership (10/19/17), where it was first taken in for a week only to have the same repair done with Ford telling me the first repair used a faulty part. Driving home (10/24/17), the vehicle did not stall, but still showed driving issues. The vehicle then stalled while in park idle. I returned to the Ford dealer (10/27/17) and for another week, repairs were made or looked up by a help line indicating that even Ford wasn't sure of the problem. I got the vehicle back again another week later (11/6/17) and the next morning the check engine light has come back on. The vehicle has not stalled, but it has not run the same since September. I do not have full confidence in the vehicle, but can't afford to keep playing guess what's wrong with Ford.

On November 6, 2017, I entered my vehicle after shopping for groceries at a nearby market and after loading the car and securing my safety belt; I placed the car into reverse. However, when I pressed on the gas my car lurched forward, causing me to almost crash into the car parked in front of me, I then hit the brake and placed the vehicle into park. Upon shifting back into park the car would no longer shift into any other gear leaving me stranded.
