After the recall with the air condition I still has some problem and now my car is making a very strange noice in front when I drive more the 40 sometimes I'm not getting cold hair.
The seals on the air conditioner evaporator drain box have failed twice in 3 months. This condition allows water that should drain overboard through the evaporator drain box drain hose to leak out of the evaporator box onto the floor carpet on each side of the car. The water saturates the carpet under the drivers and passengers feet. The water creates a potentially dangerous condition of the drivers feet being able to slip off the brake or gas pedal from being continuously wet while operating the car. Ford repaired the car under warranty 3 months ago. The seals failed again and saturated the carpet on the drivers side with water that leaked out of the evaporator box. Ford's service manager stated "the factory Ford repair kit for this condition is not working". He also stated "this seal failure is affecting 33% of the Escapes on the road and other makes that use the same seals and Ford is aware of the high rate of seal failures". Ford told us to keep driving the car because the service department is backed up with these repairs. Why isn't there a recall on these affected vehicles? how many people have to die before Ford issues a recall on the affected vehicles?.
Whenever car is on and parked, not moving, or going slower than 20 mph, the air conditioning does not cool and blows extremely hot air into the car. If I am in traffic, at a stop light, getting drive through, or parking the car, it quickly gets dangerously hot. Right now we have 100+ degree days consistently, with my child in the back seat I fear driving my vehicle in this heat as it is known to kill in texas. My father is an electrician and when I told him he said it looks like an electrical or power problem because he thinks the car idles too low.
