Hello everyone,

I am having an overheating issue with my 2012 Ford Escape and could really use some help. The temperature gauge keeps climbing, especially when I am idling or stuck in traffic. I’ve already checked the coolant level and it seems fine. I also made sure the fans are running, but the problem keeps happening.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue. I am not sure if it could be the thermostat, radiator or maybe even the water pump. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting or if there is a known issue with this model that I should know about.

I also read this topic on this site https://www.reddit.com/r/fordescape/comments/1ezuuv5/engine_heat_issue_on_2012_escape-golang but I could not find anything.
Thanks so much for your time and advice.

Best,
[Dianna]
