Radiator Hose problems of the 2013 Ford Escape

We have had multiple instances of the Escape indicating low coolant and/or overheating/pull over safely (limp mode). Several times, we were in traffic on city streets when it suddenly went into limp mode and pulling over safely was scary. We have taken the vehicle to the Ford dealer multiple times and had the water pump replaced, the heater bypass hose replaced and the cooling system "burped". During the last visit, we were told the "coolant stand pipe" needed to be replaced for a fee of $1275. I understand that part was supposed to be replaced during Ford's 13s12 recall campaign. At this point, the Escape can't be trusted to go any distance without going into limp mode and posing a safety hazard to us and others near us.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal noise upon starting. In addition, the check engine indicator randomly illuminated and there was a constant loss of motor power upon starting the vehicle. The dealer (sunrise Ford of north hollywood, 5500 lankershim blvd, los angeles, CA 91601, (877) 510-8967) was notified of the failures; however, the dtc was not present to replicate the failures. The vehicle was serviced by an unknown dealer for a failure regarding the throttle body prior to being repaired by Ford of north hollywood. The unknown dealer inspected the vehicle, but was unable to determine a remedy to repair the throttle body failure. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel line hose fractured onto the intake manifold near the engine, which caused fumes from the engine and fuel system to enter the cabin of the vehicle. The independent mechanic tested the vehicle and was to provide further technical guidelines to the vehicle owner. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v813000 (electrical system), 14v495000 (electrical system), 13v584000 (engine and engine cooling), and 12v336000 (engine and engine cooling), as well as NHTSA action number: pe18007 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was not repaired and was unable to be driven due to the failures. The manufacturer was contacted to address the multiple failures as well as the two service campaigns (field service action number: 12m02 and 14n02 that had not been received by mail from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was not available.

I bought my Ford Escape 2013 in March 2016 as used car. From the beginning I have problems with engine coolant. Coolant just disappears. I went to the mechanic and he said that heater hoses have to be replaced. I did it. But still I have to add coolant because it evaporates somehow. Nobody knows how to fix it and what is wrong, because it looks that cooling system is ok, but is not. I'm afraid to travel long distances because of this problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the engine had a coolant leak which resulted in his engine smoking without warning. The contact stated that the engine smoking occurred sporadically and at various speeds. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they informed him that his heater hose needed to be replaced. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer to be serviced. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and was informed that there are no recalls on the vehicle, they offered no further assistance. Upon investigation, the contact associated NHTSA campaign number: 12v431000 (engine and engine cooling) with his failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000. Jo.

The vehicle is having engine cooling problems. First, the engine coolant dropped so low the air conditioner stopped working while on vacation (summer 2017). Got the coolant refilled and then the level started dropping again. Took it to the dealership and water pump was replaced (fall 2017). Now the engine coolant light is on again; they say it has to do with hoses connecting the cooling system to the engine. They believe the car is not safe to drive but it will be 4-6 weeks before they can replace the hoses. They will let me rent a car from them (winter 2018).

I have been smelling a burning smell when I run my a/c and then a month later it froze up while driving to kansas. Then winter time came and now my heater is not heating properly. Well I took it to one of the Ford dealerships and they said it was fine even though they cleaned up coolant. I was also smelling coolant in my garage and under my hood of my Escape. So today I took it to another Ford dealership and they said the heater hose is broke. And it's on back order. I could of lost my car due to negligence. There has been a lot of recalls/work already on the cooling system in it. There needs to be a recall on these cars. It's not safe. It sends up red flags since the part is on back order.

Car continuously overheats. Have had it to 2 different mechanics they cannot find anything wrong. No leaks, no bad hoses. Had paid about 500. 00 to citrus Ford of ontario for a crossover valve to stop the over heating. Not yet corrected. Over heated today 10/4/17 while moving about a half mile from where I left in a matter of 5 minutes. I read of a recall on the same model of having cooling issues but my VIN evidently doesn't fall within the parameters. Otherwise unknown reason why it is over heating.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the low coolant warning indicator illuminated. Upon inspection, the contact noticed a puddle of coolant on the ground and the coolant was below the minimum line. The failure occurred five other times. The contact stated that the vehicle only experienced this failure when there was extended driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a hose needed to be replaced. The specific hose was not disclosed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 12v431000 (engine and engine cooling), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
