VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO EVACUATE AND REPAIR AC COMPRESSOR LINE. EACH TIME, THE LINE BREAKS IN EXACT SAME SPOT. HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TWICE TO FORD DEALER, 3 TIMES TO A MIDAS, AND 4 TIMES TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. LINE HAS BROKEN SAME PLACE EVERY SHOP. AUDIBLE HISSING AND SLIGHT VEHICLE SHAKING OCCURS WHEN LINE SNAPS. LEAKS THE GAS OUT INTO ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO A DEALER AND OTHER MECHANICS TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE AN ISSUE DESPITE HAVING NO LEAK OF OVERHEATING DESPITE HAVING REPLACED NEARLY EVERY PART IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND VERSION OF THIS MODEL I AM ON WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR A FORD ESCAPE. THE ENGINE HAS NOW OVERHEATED AND REQUIRED AROUND 1-3K IN REPAIRS (FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TIME) FOR THE 9TH TIME IN UNDER A YEAR.

THIS VEHICHLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, SWAY BAR REPLACEMENTS X3, I HAVE TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN, LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WOULD LITERALLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE HIT A FEW TIMES, FORD TOOK CARE OF THAT, NOW I HAVE A GAS LEAK IN THE LINE SOMEWHERE, ENGINE LIGHT ON, GAS FUMES SO BAD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS OPEN, NO LEAKING ANYWHERE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST INSIDE THE DOORS AND THE CAMERA DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HAD A FEW FORDS, VIA LEASE, I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AND WAS NEVER AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE IT WAS NOT CHECKED PROPERLY. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW , LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THE WRONG THING WAS WRONG, HAD I NOT GOTTEN A SECOND OPINON I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE WRONG REPAIR, I THEN BROUGHT I BACK INTO THEM AND FELT LIKE I HAD TO DEMAND THE REPAIR, AFTER THEY LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE THAT TIME THEY FOUND THE SAME THING WRONG THAT I ALREADY KNEW. I DID FILL OUT MY SURVEY WITH FORD AND THEY DID COVER THE PROBLEMS. THERE IS NOTHING LEAKING ANYWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE SO FROM MY RESEARCH I AM ASSUMING IT IS SOMEWHERE IN THE LINES, HOPEFULLY I WONT BLOW UP . I AM JUST UNSURE IF IT IS JUST MY TRUCK OR OTHER FORD ESCAPES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU
