When it rains hard i have a leak behind the passenger seat that comes from the light fixture - i have seen so many complaints about this from 2012 escapes thru 2017 escapes - their seems to be no fix - my biggest concern is the headliner (which everyone says not to touch) and the smell ford suggested i contact you - i would assume this happens when the car is stationary and it does not happen when car is run through…

Gas filling problem: when filling gas tank with gas, the gas shuts off repeatedly. This happens at "every" gas station i go to. It takes 15 minutes to fill a 12 gallon tank. Infuriating. This has been an ongoing problem since 2017 thru 2018 and getting worse. Statement below "when did this happen" is wrong because it happens each time i go to the gas station. You should remove the required question below on this…

Car caught fire and was totally destroyed. Not getting any assistance from ford as to the cause. I see there is a recall for 2014 escapes with the risk of fire in the engine compartment due to an issue with the engine block over heating. What can i do to get some answers and restitution for my loss? This happened while driving home from work on the side of the highway.

My 2014 ford escape has been recalled for the engine over heating. I have had to get it towed twice now because it continues to over heat due to a lack of coolant (it disappears for some reason and no one know where it goes). I then have to get a rental car for the week or however long it takes them to fix it. Ford does not have a plan to fix the issue instead they will install a sensor to help monitor the coolant…
