The next time we drove it our daughter was driving with our grandson in the car and it would not go more than a mile or two without overheating.  We took it to be looked at by a local mechanic and was told that these regularly have head gasket problems, that was the problem with ours and we would have to replace the engine for about $10,000.00.  A quick call to the Ford dealer and a perusal of the internet confirmed what the mechanic stated.  I see information about the faulty head gaskets on the 1.0 liter engines, when I look on line I see at least as many customer complaints about the 1.5 liter engine in the escapes.  These engines both have the same faulty wet sleeve design that is going to fail prematurely.  Why isn't Ford being forced to address the dangerous engines in the escapes as well as the ecosport?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
