why did i have to replace an engine coolant valve when my 2013 escape only has 50000 miles on it
my 2013 ford escape with only 50000 miles experienced a problem with check engine light going on and off, sometimes with weeks in between. I took it to multiple dealers while it was still under warranty but they wouldn't do anything if the signal was off, which happened frequently because the signal would never stay on. At 50000 miles I just recently had to replace the engine coolant valve which was under recall for all vehicles assembled before 2/13/2013. Guess what, my vehicle was assembled on 2/23/2013....10 days later. Service was denied under the recall because the car was "just" beyond the build date. I can't help but be suspicious because why am I having the same problem that vehicles built just 10 days before mine were covered by a recall. Could it be that the Louisville factory was still using the bad parts because they weren't aware of the impending recall notice? Just 4 weeks earlier I had a major repair done because I kept getting the message "engine coolant low" . That dealership lead me to believe that they were doing the repair out of the goodness of their heart but I later found out that they were paid for it because it must have been covered under the powertrain warranty. What is going on with these cars?
