The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle overheated and experienced a coolant leak. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a heater hose failure. Although the heater hose was repaired, the failure persisted.

The coolant replacement valve need to be replaced every 6 months and there are other year of this vehicle that has been recalled but, I do not see it recalled on the 2014. I have replaced this part almost 5 times since I bought this car from my dealership.
