Contacted local Ford dealership(s) in reference to 2 open recalls on my vehicle: Transmission gear shift linkage and door latches.

Car detected low coolant and coolant was added two days in row.

Once checked, coolant was completely out and refilled again. Took to a Ford Dealership where had to pay for diagnostic because the Recall for the coolant issue was "Fixed" in 2019.

I've had overheating problems where I can't drive my car.

2014 Titanium Escape EcoBoost AWD. NO WARNING LIGHTS RE LOW COOLANT. I have it serviced every three - four months change oil and check fluids. Last service 05/19/2022. 208,000 miles. Car stalled/idle rough in middle of four lane freeway during rush hour. This happened last year in heat wave also. Tonight Landmark Ford in Tigard OR called, said car is totaled, needs to be scrapped or replace engine $18,000 +. Also said torque is twisted and transmission is needed. Asked if this is a known problem. Ashley at Landmark Ford said yes, this particular engine is known to leak coolant into cylinders causing engine failure. I bought the car at Landmark and they assured me they repaired ALL recalls since vehicle was new. However the coolant recall says warning light is installed and THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT WITH LOW COOLANT. Can't afford to pay off loan and buy a another car at 63 years old. Currently searching for repair history to see if this recall repaired. Where is the recall notice on this when there is page after page of exactly the same complaint on nhsta site? Last time I had a known issue Ford dealer refused to repair said my only recourse was to report to nhsta. That doesn't seem to be working for anyone else. There are so many complaints re this here just this year WHY ISNT' THIS RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD!!!!!

Per the coolant recall issued in 2017/2018, I had my car repaired at Ted Britt Ford where I bought my card. I have now had a coolant issue and my car now has been towed to a car repair shop that is stating I will need to buy a new engine due to a crack at cylinder 3 (Which I see repeated over and over for the exact cause on the message boards due to poor recall and that it needs to be recalled again) at a cost of approx $9,000 even though Ford has had these recalls but did not fix the problem as many upon many complaints on the message boards and many phone calls, emails to Ford with no resolutions. I am reaching out to NHTSA in hopes that not only my issue will be resolved whether through a recall. I look forward to a positive, speedy remedy as my car is now sitting in a repair shop parking lot. I have reached out to Ted Britt via email asking for help but once they found out it was due to this recall issue they have stopped responding. The Manager's name is [XXX]. **Update he did respond to me on 9-3-2022 with the 2018 Recall record (which I have uploaded here) and said I need to call Ford directly at 800.392.3673. I will call on Tuesday due to them being closed for the Labor day holiday. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Currently Ford recalled bushing that connects the transmission to the shifter cable in these vehicles can degrade. Weakened, it will eventually snap. I have already fixed my car multiple times for the same reason. Once I paid for a month before recall after recall I returned the car three times to the dealership to fix cuz they didn't do it right. My car gave me several warning signs to that led up to the bushing actually snapped on me my car is doing the same thing it was doing before it snapped and now I'm going to have to pay for it again. Now my car falls within the make and model I don't understand why it's not on recall I don't actually remember the year it happened but I had to deal with the multiple times

At 60 mph without any warning my brakes failed, the brake pedal was really stiff and it took both my feet all of my strength and the emergency brake to get the car to stop, Had there been other cars in front of me I’m sure that I wouldn’t have been able to avoid a collision as the only other place to drive would have been a gully.
