Had recall done at dealership to prevent vehicle fire due to warped heads on engine because no sensor to tell you low on coolant. Car has over 100,000 on it never had a problem. Now after recall work is done car is shutting down in traffic saying engine overheating. Brought to Ford dealership and was told there is alot of these coming in. Was told dealership is a month behind on engine work. Dealership had for 7 days kept saying they were going to look at it tomorrow to diagnose. They would call back and say another day. When to pick up and they said not under warranty would be alot of money to fix. This is my daughters car and it is shutting down on freeways and side roads. Not good. Dangerous. Sounds like defective engine.

Ford has a recall for this issue including 2014 Ford Escape, however my VIN does not register as being applicable to the recall (although seems like identical issue. ) this is the second time between 50-56000 miles this same issue has occurred.
The vehicle completely stalled in the middle of driving after a leak recall was made. We took the car and had the necessary recall done. However the engine stalled the car and now we have to shell out $6,000 for a new engine due to a cracked block. Since we already took the car to get a leak recall issue fixed, we are afraid the new engine will get overheated again and the car will stall. Also, we would have to shell out more money for another engine.

It said engine over heating pull over ( or something along those lines) I look down at the tempeture gage as I was pulling over. The needle was in perfect position between hot and cold. After I stooped ( about 30 seconds at t he most) I got out, open the hood and saw flames coming up in the back of the engine between the engine and firewall. I instructed my wife to get herself and the dog out of the vehicle. Then I began throwing snow onto the area where the fire was coming from. In my opinion keeping the fire contained.

The engine overheating warning light came on about two miles down the road with moderate driving. Pulled over and checked the coolant level and it is low. One month ago, the coolant level was checked, it was low and it was topped off. The coolant level should not go down in one month of moderate driving. Also, looking up info on the 2014 Ford Escape, there is a history of coolant and overheating issues. There is a danger of fire or the engine block cracking. Ford's answer was to install a detector to tell car owner's when the coolant level is low. This is unacceptable. Please do something.
