Ford Escape Engine Safety Report | May 22, 2013
Reported on May 22, 2013
| WAS DRIVING DOING 40MPH WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE I RECEIVED A MESSAGE INSTRUCTING ME TO IMMEDIATELY PULL VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT DOWN DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING. NEVER RECEIVED A LOW COOLANT LIGHT, JUST A SUDDEN WARNING TO PULL OVER. HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE INCIDENT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS AS IT WAS A TWO LANE, ONE WAY, STREET WITH NO SHOULDERS. OPENED THE HOOD AND I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO ENGINE COOLANT. ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS IN FACT VERY HOT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS CAUSED ENGINE DAMAGE ON MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR | |
