1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2021

2014 Ford Escape titanium, 1. 6 ecoboost engine, since around 55000 miles, nothing but issues related to engine and cooling systems. . . Car had recall that Ford did not have parts for, engine froze up coolant and oil all over the inside of the engine and needed to be replaced, Ford replaced engine due to the fact that it was documented they did not have the parts for the recall yet and the worst case scenario happened. This shouldn't happen in a car that has 55000 miles on it. They installed the coolant sensor at that time as well. Then at 75,000 miles, the transmission went without warning while driving with 2 children in the car. I had it replaced by my private mechanic for $4500. Last week, used the factory installed remote start x1 in 20 degree new england weather, and when tried to go out to car, the high temp code was on and the engine wouldnt start. Let it sit for 5 hours in the 20 degree weather, clearly engine now cool but still wouldn't start. . . Had it towed to my mechanic, next am he let me know that the 2018 coolant sensor was blown and leaking coolant. . . Replaced and repaired at cost of $250. . . Why should a sensor go after only 2 years? so many issues with this one car all around the coolant and the engine. I have contacted the lawsuit filed in December to join this as well.

3 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2018

I have had 3 related issues so far with the engine coolant in my car - resulting now with a leak that is allowing coolant fluid onto other parts of the engine. My vehicle was running with no issues when one day it started but immediately beeped warning that the engine temp. Was too hot & to safely stop the car immediately. The engine temp. Gauge was in the max position, but it was a mild day & there is no way the engine would naturally have started that hot. In addition, the car wouldn't go. I could shift into drive & it would roll forward but there was no going other than rolling. I tried letting it sit & re-starting, but the same error came up, the engine shuttered/vibrated a little, & stayed in that safety mode. I had a repair shop tow it & they thought it was a bad sensor sending incorrect signals that the engine was overheating so they ordered the part & replaced it. Soon after, the low coolant warning lit up, but the shop had just checked the coolant when they replaced the sensor. A few month's later now on a 22 degree morning after my car was parked all night I remote started and let it idle for a few min then got in & hit full-start, it gave me the same error message (engine was overheated) & wouldn't drive. I had to tow it to Ford dealership after I googled the problem & noticed that not only there are similar complaints but also the 2013 Ford Escape 1. 6l gtdi from TN plant was recalled for coolant leaks causing fires! I have same just 1 year newer plus other articles actually said the 2014 model was included with the recall. But, dealer told me there was no recall for mine so I have to pay to fix the problem. . . They're now saying engine coolant liquid was found outside the chamber on the sensors & they want to charge me $560 + $119 diagnostic fee. This is a defect that I shouldn't have to pay for (again), & is also a safety hazard. Please help investigate!.
