The nut connecting the battery cable to the solenoid was cross threaded at the factory causing the vehicle not to start. I feel this is a safety issue and Ford does not agree.
Just purchased a certified pre-owned 2014 Ford Escape se. A yellow check engine light appear. Trouble code p26b7 (dealer specific). It looks like there have been numerous issues with the bypass coolant solenoid or coolant leaks. Also, steering wheel controls only occasionally work.
