I bought my car in February 2017. Soon after purchasing this (used) I began losing engine coolant rapidly and my car would not get warm when I had the heat on. Also, blue smoke would come from the exhaust. I have taken to my brother-in-law for a look-over and they said this looks like a lemon car. Well, upon research, I see a recall which matches a lot of the symptoms of my cars issues, but no recall has been issued on my VIN. I believe that whatever is going on with my car is a direct result of the same issue being recalled and I need this investigated as soon as possible.

I bought a new Ford Escape in February 2014. Since day one I have noticed an exhaust smell in cabin when the vehicle is put into reverse and occasionally when driving at low speeds. Similar to what other customer complained. I will bring this to the attention of my Ford dealership when it goes in for maintenance service when it reaches 10,000 miles, but maybe sooner to have it looked at.
Leased this vehicle in August, 2013. Since day one I have noticed an exhaust smell in cabin when the vehicle is put into reverse and occasionally when driving at low speeds. I am sensitive to odors in general and my family members only smelled it occasionally, so I disregarded until recently the odors are becoming stronger inside the cabin and not clearing when windows are lowered to air out. I will bring this to the attention of my Ford dealership when it goes in for maintenance service when it reaches 10,000 miles, but maybe sooner to have it looked at.
