2013 FORD ESCAPE 1.6L INSTALL OIL CATCH CAN UPDATE
Update from : I just got the car back on 20 March after dropping it at the area's largest dealer on 9 January, The dealer that he bought it at NEW. I've always been a Ford man, but this Escape is testing me! This really scares me about my wife's 2013 Edge with 85k that is beginning to show SYNC issues. My son's 2001 Tribute (escape) is going strong at 18yr and 195k is that all you get from a Ford now?Ģ005 Escape had alternator problems and fried electronics 13yr and 240kĢ001 Ranger developed a knock due to lack of maintenance at 17yr and 260k This is a problem!ĥyr old car with 100k miles. He and I took it to his dealership to hear the same diagnosis, $6,800 to replace the engine. My local shop stated that it needs a complete engine replacement and the signs were showing and leading up to it per the previous repairs. I've known him for well over 15yrs, know that he bought it new, know he goes to the dealer for EVERYTHING and even have the CarFax to back it all up.įast forward 3 weeks of me owning the vehicle and the engine fails. The dealer stated that all was well but had taken 4 trips over 8 weeks to diagnose and repair all the issues.ĭuring the time in the shop he bought a new Subaru and then sold me the Escape. He had the radiator replaced, then the coolant reservoir, then the water pump and finally the head gasket, all at that 95,000 mark.
My youngest brothers good friend bought a 2013 Escape new and drove it for 95,000 miles over 4 years with just a few issues but they were major issues. I did that again daily to get nowhere but in the process in December the vehicle broke down and now requires a new engine as the spark plug came out of one of the cylinders and now no compression after repair. I need to call the manager to make arrangements. After contacting the dealership several times they finally agreed to replace my vehicle. One of them recommended I notify the dealership and ask them to remedy the problem, After calling the dealership DAILY (it’s 3 hours from me), leaving messages and never getting anywhere I went online to the NH BBB. I brought to a second collision place and was told the same results, both will put this in writing.

On the drivers side there is a collision sticker for a shop in the same area I bought the car. I hit a deer the week I bought it and when I went to the collision center, the gentleman showed me how the passenger side door post was bent and the inside of the passenger door has Bondo coming out all around it. Salesman told me it had one owner before me and was never in a collision. I do not think this vehicle is worth replacing the motor unless Ford steps up fixes this design flaw.ĭoes anyone know of any class action suites? Some mechanics i have spoken with think either antifreeze has seeped into the engine seizing it or the turbo booster has gone bad sending metal into the engine. Based on all the complaints with this vehicle, I am worried the Ford dealer will charge me a lot of money for a problem that Ford has created with this motor. I called Ford Customer Service and I am waiting for them to get back to me. I called Haldamen Ford in Hamilton NJ but they never heard of this type of problem and I would have to tow the vehicle in for analysis. The vehicle will not start and not try to start. Each time I tried to start the vehicle all I would get is a clunk type noise once. When I turned the key the dashboard lit as usual but I heard a clunk type noise again and the vehicle failed to start. I let the vehicle parked over night and tried to start it the next morning. I tried again and the vehicle started as it always had except this time a heavy smoke poured from the tailpipes and the engine light came on. On Maat approximately 4:30 pm, I turned the key in my ignition and heard a clunk type noise and the vehicle did not start. The 2013 is the first model year of the Escape's 3rd generation and proves once again that you want to avoid the first model year when at all possible.
As the coolant hit the hot engine there was, once again, a threat for fire. Instead, in a somewhat unprecedented move, Ford sent tow trucks to pick up the affected vehicles and handed out rental cars while the owners waited for repairs.Ī few months later the Escape was recalled again because antifreeze could leak out onto the engine due to a freeze plug becoming dislodged. In July 2012, due to a fuel line that could split and leak, Ford told owners to park their cars because even driving to the dealership for repairs was deemed too dangerous. Within a few months of its release the SUV was recalled three times, twice because of engine fires. Notes: The 2013 Ford Escape has been in the news quite a bit and for all the wrong reasons.
