Vehicle Overheat problems of the 2014 Ford Escape

Driving on interstate check engine light came on then message board read car is overheated and to pull over and car shut down, then the temp gauge shot up to h. Finally came to a complete stop & car was smoking, opened the hood and saw flames, poured water on it called 911. . . Apparently coollant leaked out and caused the turbo to get hot and started a fire.

This is in regards to recall 17v209000 for my 2014 Ford Escape. I had this fixed in 2019, but I was not happy with the dealership's service. First of all, my car had been overheating, and I had to add coolant constantly, which was a symptom of the recall issue. I took it to the dealership to take care of the recall, which they said they did, but they told me the overheating was not caused by the recall problem, but something else, so in addition to fixing the recall problem, they said they fixed another problem associated with the overheating and charged me $250. I don't believe this, and I'm not even sure if they fixed the recall problem, however, they reported that they did, but they never called me back to have it installed. I believe the recall issue caused a cracked cylinder because last month I had to have a new engine (at my expense) installed. This car is only 6 years old and I have kept current with periodic oil changes and check-ups. What are my options with filing a claim, or some kind of report or recourse for this?.

The vehicle randomly overheats at times and smokes. No matter the amount of coolant that's in the tank it seems like it's never full and it burns it up within minutes. The vehicle can only be driven less than 8 miles before it starts smoking. When driving uphill sometimes it'll say �reduced power due to overheating� even though you just started the vehicle and it couldn't be that hot yet. There's a recall on this exact model of vehicle for the same thing and I believe my vehicle was affected.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 40 mph, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact was informed via an app on his cellphone to pull over and stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the vehicle overheated and caused the engine to crack. The technician also stated that the transmission need to be repaired. The vehicle was taken to gene messer Ford (6000 west 19th, lubbock, TX 79407, (806) 788-2222) where the technician confirmed that the engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired however, the same dealer repurchased the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My 2014 Ford Escape had a recall performed recently 17s09 coolant level sensor system, before this recall was performed on my vehicle, my vehicle was perfectly fine, I've only had issues with the rear door latch, that was broken ( also a recall) and for this reason is why my vehicle was taken to the Ford service department. It was then, when the service tech recommended to have the coolant level sensor system replaced per the recall. Since then, my vehicle has not been the same, the vehicle has been back to the service department with the same ongoing complaint ,the engine light recently came up alerting that my vehicle was overheating, thou the vehicle was sitting in my work parking lot for 10 hrs. The vehicle was taken back to the service department, and after 2 days, I was informed that the tech found coolant in my engine, therefore, my vehicle would need a new engine. My vehicle was perfectly fine before the service department began performing the recall upgrades. This is the fault of the service department for lacking knowledge on how to properly install the recall components, failed to mitigate future damage to my engine. In my research, I found that Ford is aware of this issue and has failed to properly compensate the consumer or protect the consumer from this loss.

I have a 2014 Ford Escape 1. 6l ecoboost. That is not running&Ford will not fix nor admit that there are other vehicle like mine. Before the cooling recall came about my vehicle over heated 2x. I called Ford&they told me there would be a charge to find& fix the problem. Few months later I was notified of the recall. I took my vehicle into hall Ford in elizabeth city nc. First they said they did not know what needed to be fixed. Then the next day they said the problem had fixed after 24 hours of having the vehicle. A year later they recalled the vehicle again for the same thing&said they did not fix the right thing. Now after 100,000 miles the vehicle shifts out of gear. For said there is no recall (but without actually looking at the vehicle) they know it is the transmission. That it will cost $5,000 for a reman transmission or $7,000 for a new one. Remind you they have not looked over the vehicle and that does not include labor. The vehicle pops out of gear after not even driving it for 5 minutes. It is the 1. 6ll 6 speed automatic transmission. I asked if there were other vehicles doing the same thing and they replied no I was the first they heard of. I said well how do you know it is the trans. They replied because we know our vehicles. I asked if it could be from the car overheating 2x before they fixed the cooling issue. They said no because they know there vehicles. I have got 3 different price quotes over the past 6 months. The first quote $2500 reman plus labor then 2500 for just tran to 4-5k for reman trans not including labor. They then asked if I would like to trade in my vehicle for something that was reliable. I answered no because my car was paid for. I said no one can drive it like this. They said thats why you should buy a new car. I started doing research and found that multiple people (hundreds of thousands)have had the same problem with there vehicle as me.

Ford 1. 6l eco-boost failure. Ford knows about this (not mine, but the ongoing problems). My car has only 74k miles and great maintenance. The vehicle overheated for a moment. 2 weeks later, coolant from exhaust, blown head gasket, warped head. This is a known problem with the Ford 1. 6l eco-boost turbo. Ford dumped the engine. Other countries have forced recalls (uk). The NHTSA should do the same. The situation is dramatic and can cause major collisions.

My car was overheating so I took it into the shop and they said it was the thermostat so I replaced the thermostat and it's still kept overheating so I took it back in they ran a test in the heads were blown so they had to replace the heads well from what I understand that this is a common problem with my year of vehicle and the Ford Escapes because there was another Ford Escape with the same issue and they had to replace the heads on it I feel like it should be recalled because it is a common problem and I think Ford is aware of it I don't have the money to replace a head on my vehicle it's a 2014 it shouldn't even need the heads replaced it look like it belongs to.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle overheated and stalled. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to barbee's freeway Ford (4471 e evans Ave, denver, CO 80222) where it was diagnosed that the cooling system sensor failed and needed replacement. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 17v209000 (engine and engine cooling) in April of 2019. The vehicle was repaired in 2018 per an interim repair, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

My car over heated while driving. So I pulled over and let it cool down. I then took it to the shop and I was told I needed a new cylinder head when asked why it over heated they refereed to the coolant system but didn't know why the coolant was getting there. After doing some research online the way they explained everything seems very similar to the recall number 17v209000 or Ford recall number 17s09.

Ford fixed a recall on my car regarding the coolant sensor and my car hasn't been right ever since. Same day that I brought it home the coolant sensor said coolant level low even though they had just filled it up and there was plenty of coolant in the car. Yesterday on my way home from work my car over heated and, lights on the dash said for me to pull over safely as soon as possible. The car automatically slowed down to barely 5miles/hour on it own, it would not accelerate. Now the car is not drivable as it overheats within 30 seconds of starting the car up. Dealerships near me will not service my car for another 2 weeks and they don't have a loaner car that I can use in the meantime, and on top of that it's going to have to be towed to the dealership because it's non-drivable. According to the diagnostics ran on it the code that came up was - p1299.

While traveling at approximately 60mph, at approximately 52k miles, my 2014 Ford Escape suddenly overheated and presented a warning to pull over and stop the car. My coolant level had dropped below the minimum and my car overheated. I added water for the system and had my car taken to a local shop who replaced the thermostat as well as coolant overflow system. Additionally the check engine light illuminated after overheating. Once "fixed" and less than 5000 miles later (approximately 56k), my car overheated again. The coolant levels were low, with no warning of low coolant system ever displayed until I received the warning (again going approximately 60 mph) to pull over and shut down overheated engine. The check engine light was illuminated and I brought the car to shop again. Diagnostic of code read potentially faulty thermostat (which I had replaced less than 5000 miles before) or low coolant (again just filled). I decided not to action (except standard oil change due) and the check engine light went off on its own. Now at 56,800 my car had the check engine light re-illuminated and now is blinking that I have low oil pressure (less than 2000 miles since oil change). Taking to service this afternoon for diagnostic. Very similar to issues documented in other 2014 Escapes under recall 17s09- however, my particular VIN is not considered included, despite build at louiville, ky in April 2014. Therefore, no recall service of coolant sensor can be provided.

My VIN is having the exact same cooling issues as recall. Dealer staes my VIN is not affected although the it broke in the exact fashion as the Ford recall 17v209000. The vehicle overheated and is losing coolant slowly. Car overheated and had to pull over.

While driving the car usually going up a hill the temperature gauge quickly goes up and shows the car is overheating and all kinds of warnings sounds and visual notices go off telling me to stop the car and park safely. This has happened 3 times. The last time this happened 2 days ago I could put the car into gear but it would not engage and go forward or backward and I had to coast to a stop and pull over to the side of the road and have it towed.

My vehicle was overheated for about 3 times and I have reported it to the Ford dealership here in american samoa. I also received a recall notice about this vehicle (safety recall notice 17s09). Up to now, the Ford dealership have not fix this recall issue and I and my family are always at higher dangerous risk due to this unresolved recall. I have paid hundreds of dollars to the dealership for fixing the problem via other replacement parts and still nothing directly to the recall part. The recall part is the engine coolant.
