I received a recall notice in april 2017 from ford (17s09). In my opinion this recall has not been repaired in a reasonable amount of time. 9 months of driving a vehicle with a risk of starting an engine fire is to long. Does ford have an updated time frame for the repair. Nhtsa recall # 17v209

Well, upon research, i see a recall which matches a lot of the symptoms of my cars issues, but no recall has been issued…

My 2014 ford escape has a coolant leak. It has overheated at least 3 time without warning while driving on the highway. As a result my vehicle has sustained engine damage. There is a recall associated with the coolant system. I think ford should replace/ repair the engine at no charge. They don't agree.
