2017 Ford Escape Back-over prevention (rear camera) Problems

“Every once in a while the sync3 system and infomat fails. I lose nav, back up camera, climate control, radio, and handsfree phone control. Took it to the dealership and they said apim needed replacement. Called usual mechanic who say a recall for apim on older models and allot of replacement on my year of Escape. Has happened 5 times since purchase in december”

“The backup camera will occasionally go dark or black and white. I have tried to replicate the issue. However, it happens randomly. It is clean and free of water and dirt”

“Engine check engine came on and found coolant low, refilled, and 2 weeks later coolant low again. I suspected coolant leaking into the engine since no coolant on the ground. Dealership confirmed this and said new engine block is required. It is a 2017 Escape with only 33,000 miles now. It is ridiculous that Ford knowingly went into production with this bad engine design which they redesigned later. I found out that there was a TSB to replace the engine block. Ford knows the engine is an issue and only fixed some of the vehicles as the issue happens. …”
