2017 Ford Escape 4dr SUV
turbocharged 245hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 10000 mi | Gas/oil smell and intermittently runs poorly. Dealer reflashed ECM with latest code. |
| 3100 mi | 5 false alarms from security system and random auto-start failures. Dealer had to replace ignition switch as it was reading in the memory that car was being forced started. Chime also was sounding on exit (with keys removed) quickly typically before a future auto-start failure. Dealer said on inspection they saw a shinny metal piece of the lock inside moving freely. |
| 7084 mi | Check Engine light came on, took Escape to Ford dealer. OBD2 codes p0071 & p2601 found; OASIS SSM46353 document consulted & trouble-shooting steps followed; DY1160 sensor assembly replaced. Work necessitated removal and re-installation of 'shock absorber cover'; dealer cleared the codes and performed a 4km road test after, then checked again for ODB2 codes, none found. |
