The base of the carseat does not stay locked into position. it freely slides from 5-1 and back. i have video footage showing the carseat rocking forward and backwards when locked. this puts a child at risk for positional asphyxiation and at risk for severe injury or death in the event of an accident. evenflo is refunding the money for both of the carseats that i bought in the beginning of august and refused to replace with the same carseat. there are other reviews online that said this is a common occurence. these seats should be recalled. i drove around without knowing they were damaged for a month with my 2 yo and almost 1 yo.

Just purchased this vehicle on July 3rd and now have Coolant Intrusion and need a new long block engine. I've read online about the MULTITUDE of people having this same exact issue. 2017 Ford Escape SE (2.0 engine) Ford even issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) about it, but refuses to recall the vehicle, which doesn't make any sense. Ford TSB 22-2229

Engine brought up a check engine light. I had the light investigated at a ford dealership. Diagnostic test showed coolant intrusion into the cylinders. Code 304 and 316 present. Engine was consuming antifreeze to the tune of 1 tank of coolant a day blowing white smoke out of exhaust and overheating. This made me afraid of a fire because of coolant loss.

I purchased a 2017 Ford Escape a little over a year ago. My vehicle has less than 95,000 miles on it and it has been undriveable since August 14, 2023. I had it towed to a mechanic who advised that there were several cylinders that are not getting any compression which means the engines needs to be replaced. I have reached out to the local Ford mechanics and they are advising that there are no open recalls for this issue, but this is a common problem for the type of engine that my vehicle has.

The contact owns a 2107 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle vibrated violently, and the engine seemed to misfire. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined there was coolant intrusion into the engine resulting in damage to the engine, requiring replacement of the head gasket. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to Customer Satisfaction Program: 21N12, but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was 82,000.

I was driving to work at 7am on Saturday, August 26, 2023- and it was a mild morning... maybe 50 degrees. As I was driving I heard what sounded like a gunshot- and once I was able to gather myself, I realized that my panoramic sunroof had exploded. Outward. Nothing hit the glass- it merely exploded. There is no point of impact from an outside object. I was driving past a cattle ranch- no trees hanging over the road and there were no other vehicles in sight. I was only 2 miles from home and was able to close the sunroof cover and slowly drive home to park in garage. It is available- at our home, currently, if inspection is needed. Glass did fall on me, the driver. Luckily I did not have any passengers with me at the time. And my nerves were shot from the loud sound. We have tried, unsuccessfully, to have our calls returned by Ford. And we are hesitant to reach out to our insurance as we truly feel the manufacturer is at fault here. After doing some research, this seems to be a common problem with many Ford models with panoramic sunroofs. We appreciate you recording this incident- and if you have any advice on how to proceed, that would also be appreciated.

I was driving to NY from NC when my power steering went out in the mountains of PA there was no warning at all just all of a sudden could not barely turn the wheel. When I pulled over a warning then did come on when I turned the car back on stating steering assist failure needs service. I had to continue to drive because it was late in the evening. When I got to NY I took it to the cord dealer and they stated it is the steering rod that needs replacing and it is costing me $3166 plus tax!! The car only has 53,000 miles on it and of course is no longer under warranty!
