You may want to investigate this. I own a 2018 ford escape which i purchased new. Two week ago the left rear passenger window was broken out. As i was in idaho at the time, and had to drive back to washington state, i drove the car down the highway at 55 mph with the sunroof open and all other windows closed. No problem. I then closed the sunroof and the car shook violently to the point i thought the back door might be ripped off. We seldom open the back windows so i never experienced this before but it could cause an accident.

Engine coolant is leaking into my cylinder due to leaky cylinder head seal and issues with the engine block. Engine is at risk to overheat, fail, and catch on fire. This damage is the result of a known issue that ford has filed an fsa for. I was never notified of the fsa and now the damage is done.

On 04/28/2021 my remote start on my 2018 ford escape titanium 2.0l, with only 21,833 miles on it, did not work and did not start my vehicle. I got in, started my vehicle using the push button start, at which point my vehicle began to shake and the check engine light came on with no other information. The ford pass app indicated 'malfunction indicator lamp-regulatory' with no other details. I immediately called my local dealer, bell ford but they could not get me in for service until mid-june. I then called the dealer where i bought my car, fullerton ford and got an appointment for today 05/12/21. I brought my vehicle in this morning and after 20-30 minutes my service advisor came to me and said the coolant was leaking into the engine and that the engine needs to be completely replaced. They provided me with a loaner car and told me they will contact me when the new engine is installed, which could take longer than a week.

I have a 2018 ford escape with 13,967 miles .Brought it in for an oil change and was told my rear brakes and rotors were totally bad.Had it serviced last year and only traveled 7,000 miles.I want to know if there has been a problem reported about these rear brakes.As every mechanic i've talked to can't believe this could happen. I talked to the national highway traffic safety administration and he said to ask if this has been reported to you.
