Why does my Ford Escape Beep?
I'm new. I'm looking for answers. I've recently purchased a 2001 Ford Escape XLS.
One problem, it beeps. When it first starts up, it does this: beep,beep,beep,beep,beep,......beep,beep,beep, beep,....etc. etc. until it does that like 5 times. Some days it'll do it, and others it won't. Sometimes I can be going down the road and it'll just start beeping. I can't stand it any more.
Also, some damp mornings it doesn't want to idle. It'll cut of a couple of times before I can get it to run. AutoZone said that it was the EGR valve. The dealership hasn't ever heard of one beeping before. No warning lights come on or anything.
So, I don't know what to do. Can some one help me?

The error code is 27.
Then google (or your favourite search tool) "Ford Escape" + error 27
Good luck.
FWIW, I had a airbag problem, that at the time, could find nothing, then a while later, the same problem came up as the first hit......($257 later.....)
Thanks for any help
it is planted by a competitor.
How about skipping the conspiracy theories and try to address the question?
