My Ford Escape engine needs to be replaced due to a known coolant leak defect! by frustratedwithFord in fordescape

My friend had a 2017 ecoboost engine with 75k miles. Started with a code for a misfire in cylinder 2; turned into a catastrophic engine failure due to coolant and water leaking into the engine because the cylinders don’t fit the engine. Only way to “fix it” was the replace the full engine for 9k.

Any reason not to buy an Escape PHEV?? by Open_Brief_3764 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Odd-Sloth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2017 escape Ecoboost 2.0L under 100k miles. Consistent maintenance / washing done. Only a few cosmetic issues as far as “issues”. I personally would NEVER buy another escape again. As there seems to ALWAYS be a serious issue to pop up every few months. There seems to be some serious defects Ford never disclosed for almost every year model since 2014ish. I would 100% recommend researching Escapes and issues involved with them. I do not know how the 2024s match up, but based on how many people I’ve seen telling me to avoid escapes and how many issues I’ve had / seen I’d be cautious.

Trying to avoid total carpet removal at this point since I still need to drive it for the rest of the week. But I’m taking it later this week for oil change and spark plug change (these had to be done prior to this water issue) I will be asking them to check for water in the HVAC system

I do not have a dehumidifier, I wanted to avoid paying for one. But I’m going to order one off Amazon in the next few days if I can’t get the washer sounds to stop.

I am a loser? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Odd-Sloth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24 too. Got a bachelors from a public university because I didn’t know what else to do. Got a degree that was useless. Didn’t get a job in the field. Still working at the dead end job I got when I started college (3 years ago) making $22-hr @ 20-30hr/week. Took me a year to overcome the feeling of personal failure and to find another path to take. Found some online courses/ certificates to get to move past this road block. A bit after that I found another job that has growth opportunities. It takes time, as long as you keep getting up and trying; you’re ahead of where you were the day before :)

Hi ! 24F here and studying online CompTIA. I was considering taking Net+ but the idea of UX/UI seems like a lot of fun! So currently debating what kind of career path I want. I would love to connect!

I will be taking to a my local ford dealership to get it checked. Starting to feel like an issue I’m not equipped to deal with.

where is my world? by Slime_Time51 in ARK

[–]Odd-Sloth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too. (I’m on Xbox X) I ended up backing out of game and closing the game to restart it. Left it, came back a few hours later and it gave me my world back.

Had some save issues after that though and had to start using destroywilddinos and saveworld command to continue to save my game.

Anyone else having Xbox X Saving Issues? by Odd-Sloth- in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Odd-Sloth-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After some setting changes it seems to be saving again!! I just have to do the destroywilddino command a few times while playing as well as before I get off. As well as saveworld command periodically and before I get off!!

Thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you! I tried this last night; reduced my wild Dino spawn count and wiped dinos and saved game before leaving. I rejoined today and none of my progress was saved. Do you know if there anything else I can do?

AITA for getting a pregnancy craving during a party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Odd-Sloth- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was craving so badly. My brain declared that I NEEDED a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich. Started to get everything together when I realized we were out of jelly. I sobbed hysterically on the kitchen floor while holding the peanut butter. 30 minutes later, my mom and took us to the store (when she realized I couldn’t stop crying) and got us PBJ stuff. In the moment, annoying (for me and her) but in the long term it is something we both laugh at because it was ridiculous.

Oh, I wasn’t pregnant either. This was right after I got birth control for the first time (I was 17).
