2010 FORD Escape

My Ford 2010 has a recall for power steering electric
And my car has power steering assist fault on the dash and even tho same year same make same code is on recall my car isn’t covered!?!

coil burn on number 5 piston change all coil n plug went for a small ride then it stop it shut down now it doesnt want to start also everytime u start this vehicule u must push on the key as u turn n key has to be put the button facing dash

Brake pedal spongy after abs stop , vehicle still stops but goes all the way down to floor. Bleed the master cylinder helped a little but not a hard pedal, so gonna try to bleed HCU next. Nothing has been done to brake system since I’ve owned the vehicle (about 4 years now ). Did a lot of reading online an thinking it is related to recall 19S54 about Dot 3 reacting to the zink coated piston in the HCU valve getting jelled up an valve sticking

Lift gate shattered while driving

Rear windshield shattered after loading the vehicle and closing the rear hatch. The hatch was not slammed and nothing was blocking the door from closing.

Power Steering Assist Failure Fault

The power steering assist has gone out again in this vehicle. There was a recall, and this vehicle had a system upgrade in August 2014 to fix the problem. The same problem has occurred again Nov 2016 & the dealership wants $700 to fix it when it should be fixed under the recall. There should never have been a system upgrade fix for these vehicles, they should have originally fixed the shaft torque sensor, since that\'s what keeps going out in all the other complaints that I\'ve found.

Keep getting fault code for throttle position sensor. When you depress accellorater sometimes it will lose power. You\'ll have to pull over and turn the car off to reset. Throttle body seems to be malfunctioning according to local mechanic! Seems to be a lot of complaints online about this problem!

My car suddenly lost power, my vehicle still functioned (AC, power steering) but went to a very low speed. No dashboard indicator light came on though. I had it towed as I felt it was unsafe to drive. The dealer put my car on the machine and said there were \'no codes\' coming back, they also test drove it and ran it in shop and could not replicate. We asked if there were bulletins out with similar issues or was the PCM looked at, in which I was told no and no. I was sent on my way with with a $200 bill and no issue resolved. One month later my car did the same thing, this time however a wrench code appeared. When you turn off the car and start it again you can drive it for a short period; however, the wrench disappeared and the engine light came on and stayed on. A two second Google search tells me that this is a VERY common issue with the throttle body and that Ford agreed to do a Customer Satisfaction program to avoid doing a recall. This bulletin described the exact symptoms as mine and was common for my make, model, and year. The Ford trained \"experts\" are not able to diagnose an issue unless the machine tells them the code. They are not able to look at the model and year and know there are programs in place for this precise issue. The dealer also failed to advise me that unless a warning on my dash came up, the computer wouldn\'t be able to give the error code – so they essentially charged me $200 knowing it would yield no results. I ultimately took my vehicle to another dealer for this repair because the original dealer that could not find the problem did not return my call.

The car suddenly started stalling out on a busy interstate and was miraculously brought to a safe place off an exit. The local Firestone garage replaced the throttle body, which seems to have fixed the problem. We are trading this in ASAP. Ford\'s response to other complaints was an extended warranty that ended over a year ago.

Back window exploded when I closed the hatch.

After loading the car, i shut the rear gate and the window exploded into shards all over the road.

When shutting rear hatch the rear window exploded. Something in the window latching mechanism failed. When I called the dealership they said they don’t replace the windows but referred me to an auto glass company. They indicated there was no recall on this issue even though multiple occurrences had been reported.

Rear glass shattered for no reason

Rear window exploded for no apparent reason, shattering glass everywhere.

back window exploded during a partly sunny low 80’s degree day. I got a few cuts on my hands.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while driving on a main road at 30 mph, the power steering assist became disabled, and the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn. the power steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. the contact continued to drive the vehicle to the residence. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

Power steering quits working without notice and ford says it’s not a recall in this vehicle but it says everywhere that it’s a known recall issue

Brakes go all the way to the floor, barely could stop. no accident happened. it's very scary to even drive it anymore. i have taken it to 3 shops, 2 of the 3 say it's the abs module. i have read a lot of reviews on this car having this issue. probably nothing to be done since it's not even made anymore. parts are getting obsolete.

Electronic stability control (esc) and antilock braking system(abs) display on the dashboard: when braking at a stop the break skips and struggles to break. when turning while the foot is on the break it also skips. warning lights on dash periodical turns on and off. the break skipping does not always occur. fast breaking can trigger skipping of the breaks. rain also increases the likeliness of break skipping and electronic stability control (esc) making it hard to control steering. the brake pad and rotors have been checks and are normal. ford escape 2010. instances have been happening at random since 2018 at a frequency of 3-4 times a week.

@12:56pm on 2/11/2021, my car suddenly and without warning lost all electrical power, acceleration, lights, pedal/gas completely unresponsive. the time remained on. it was 19* f with no precipitation on dry/partly snowy pavement on highway us31 just s of the north muskegon/business 31 bypass. i was going about 75 mph and adjusted the cruise control to slow for another vehicle shortly before the shutoff. it is not clear if that is related, because the timing was not immediate. i had not changed lanes in more than a mile, although the road does twist slightly in that location. i had on automatic lights, defrost and rear defrost, bluetooth audio, and cruise control. my tank was just below 1/2 full of gas and the vehicle has been maintained but is not stored in a garage overnight. i coasted to an emergency lane on the passing lane, turned the key off (other than the time, audio, and brakes, nothing else would respond.) i started the car again after about 60 seconds, it started without problem, and i could continue to my vaccine appointment with no discernible signs of any other issue or error. it was terrifying.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while the vehicle was taken for service at an independent mechanic for an oil change, the technician noticed that the engine chassis was extremely corroded and informed the contact that the vehicle was dangerous to drive. the vehicle was later taken to moyer ford sales inc. (10111 al-59, foley, al 36535) where the dealer confirmed the diagnosed failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

There's a dunt in the hood from something falling on it

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal knocking sound was coming form the front driver's side wheel well as the abs, traction control, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the mechanic replaced the half shaft and the front wheel bearings. the contact stated that the failure recurred with the power steering assist warning light illuminated. the contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. upon investigation, the contact linked the failures to nhtsa campaign number: 15e045000 (suspension) and 14v284000 (steering). the contact then called tyler ford, ltd (2626 s sw loop 323, tyler, tx 75701) and was informed that the vin was not included. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 182,711.*dt

The car has had issues starting since i brought it from a used dealer last september. over time it got more difficult to crank. i started checking youtube to see if it were just me and came to learn that there is a great multitude of others having the same issue with their ford escapes. the locking mechanism from the key that flips the ignition switch is either too week or it doesn't turn far enough for the vehicle to crank. i have had to remove the covering from my steering wheel and manually use the spare key as an extension of the o e inside the ignition, in order for the vehicle to crank. the same process is required in turning the car off. right now it works, however could be a hazard with all of the wiring in the steering wheel exposed. and who is to say that one day the vehicle won't just shut off in the middle of the highway with the key and ignition switch having an imaginary physical connection?

Steering;at slow speeds and especially at idle the steering wheel jumps back and forth. jittery is how i'd describe it. at slow speeds it feels like a loose wheel when the steering wheel shakes. throttle body; recall is expired. i purchased the car (second owner) about 2015 from a dealership in orange county, ca. i never received any communication from ford about this issue. oem throttle body failed in 2019, which was independently diagnosed and i replaced the defective component. no recourse at the present with either issue. both are significant safety issues known throughout ford forums and including the manufacturer.

First i notice the car just drop gears and nearly stop on the off ramp of the highway. second time i tried to reverse and it would not move and i had to call a tow truck to take it to the garage. ford told me it needed a new transmission. ford dealership wanted to charge me over $ 5000 for the job. i winded up going to a lee myles that charge cost to $ 4000 for the repairs it had done. now few months later and the vehicle is shaking upon start up and idiling. whenever i drive the car it feels like its jerks slightly when going at higher speeds. changed out the air filter, rebuilt transmission and still having problem after problems with this 2010 ford escape.

The vehicle was stationary - the lift gate traps water inside and has caused the lift gate to rust out so badly that it has caused me to replace the lift gate latch actuator motor and assembly on the lift gate 5 times since i purchased this vehicle in may 2010. my service dog has gotten stuck in the vehicle due to the lift gate motor becoming broken. i was unable to open the liftgate and had to take down the seats. in the event this was an emergency my service animal would've died. my service animal is too large to ride up front and she rides in the back. on occasion when my lift gate was not working, i had to rent a vehicle. in order to fix the recent issue with the gate, the shop that i took my car to had to pry open the gate and replace the motor assembly. this issue will continue until the lift gate is replaced and no longer holds water. this is a common safety issue with the ford escapes. additionally, the front passenger side door also holds a lot of water. the mileage indicated is for the most recent repair, but it has happened multiple times prior to this date.

While driving made right hand turn into service station and lost control of vehicle. fortunately had slowed for turn and although scared no one was hurt when tow company jacked up escape to tow it onto flatbed truck we saw that forward frame had rusted allowing front of a arm to separate from frame causing suspension to separate from vehicle.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while driving 30 mph while attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel turned right inadvertently then ceased. the contact slammed on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle from going into a ditch. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the steering shaft torque sensor malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer since parts were on back order. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. the failure mileage was 118,000.

Electronic steering assist is intermittently failing causing loss of power steering. other vehicles of this model and year have been recalled for this failure. my vin is not included in this recall. warning light notification comes comes on dash. power steering is lost. also steering wheel vibrates when stopped at a traffic light.

The subframe is rotted out on the right passenger side which could cause the wheel to fall off while in transit. this is a known problem for the ford escapes that has not been recalled by ford. this vehicle is only 11 years old.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel locked up. the power steering assist fault message was displayed. the contact called the local dealer, but vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated the failure was like nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Loss of. power steering while running. and dash. markers turn off in the highway

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while his fiancé was driving 55 mph, the vehicle drove over a bump in the middle of the roadway and the steering wheel turned to the left causing the wheels to make a squealing sound. the contact stated that the steering wheel remained off center. the driver had the vehicle towed to his residence. the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact was concerned that the failure was related to the front wheel being misaligned. the manufacture was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

I was driving turning right and my steering wheel locked up and i hit a tree i seen my model car has a recall #14s05

Unknown

I was driving on the freeway in the second lane from the left cruising around 60-65 mph when the vehicle started to idle rough and then i lost the ability to accelerate i had to maneuver over to the right-hand shoulder of the freeway with cars flying around me. even though the engine never stalled, the loss of my ability to accelerate left me a sitting duck in danger of being struck by another vehicle or as a dangerous obstacle for other vehicles who might have gotten in an accident trying to avoid me. it also came to my attention while researching the cause that ford was aware of the issue and had already recalled certain vin #'s and sent a letter out to others with an extended factory warranty to replace the part, but only once the part failed. not safe! i previously reported this incident to you in august or september, however i lost my follow up information and don't know what happened with my complaint.

1.2010 ford escape electronic throttle body issue investigated by the nhtsa. 2. hesitations, surges, stalls. ford has issued a csp 13n03 with time and mileage limits. this is a safety issue effecting many ford vehicles and the symptoms may not surface until beyond the csp 13n03 time limits imposed by ford, as in my case. these electronic throttle body hesitations, surges and stalls are very dangerous and result in compromised safety for the driver, their passengers and others on the road. i have come very close to a collision on two separate occasions because of this issue. the nhtsa should force ford to reclassify this issue as a recall with no time nor mileage limits or lift the current program time and mileage limits for people like me who are beyond the time limit who have just recently developed this problem. this is a mechanical defect as well as a safety issue. 3. problem confirmed by ford dealership. 4. dash warnings - check engine light and wrench lights illuminated. in my case, these have gone on and off, vehicle demonstrates hesitations, surges, stalls, then resets itself and the vehicle functions normally. this has happened twice over the last few months. just recently, the warning lights have stayed illuminated and the symptoms are now constant.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel filler door would not open and the contact attempted to use a screwdriver to open the fuel filler door. the contact was not able to refuel the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer performed the recall repair for nhtsa campaign number: 16v777000 (fuel system, gasoline). however, the dealer did not have time to repair the fuel filler door. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was inspected, and the software update was performed. the contact stated that several months later after stopping at a stop sign and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact manually drove the vehicle without power steering to the residence. the local dealer was contacted and informed of the failure. the dealer informed the contact that the recall repair was previously performed and offered no further assistance. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that the sub-frame had extensive rust above the wheels. the contact was unable to pass the pa vehicle inspection. the contact called the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa for assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 149,500.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the power steering failed, and the contact could not turn the steering wheel. the power steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. the contact pulled over and began driving at slower speeds while manually steering the vehicle. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic with power steering failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The power steering cuts out abruptly causing loss of control. the dashboard begins to flash with warning lights and sounds, however when the power steering comes back on the warning lights and sounds stop. this is a known issue by ford but the dealer tells me my car is not on the recall list, the existing recall #14s05 does not cover my vehicle and furthermore it let ford off the hook w/o truly fixing the problem. if you look into it you will find that the "repair" does not work! the nhtsa needs to do something about this as it will cause accidents and possibly lead to injury or death! please - get serious about holding ford accountable. this is a serious problem.

In past couple of years, i had power steering loss while driving. i managed to get car off road but very difficult. i paid $2,000 for a new steering column and was told this was a common ford escape issue. less than 1 year later, i am having same problem again. steering comes and goes.

My power steering went out on a sunday while i was miles away from my home. no warning lights or messages came on the dashboard. i did have very limited steering and i was able to get it home. there were recalls by ford for this particular problem in the year it was made, 2010. my vin # didn't come up for needing a recall. i'm going to take it to a garage to be repaired and i'd like to know what the faulty part is.

The vehicle started making occasional "clunking" sounds upon right hand turns around the 120,000 mile mark as if my tire were falling into a pothole that wasn't there. had one occurrence where a sharp right hand turn resulted into what i'd call a "locked up" steer or loss of steering control and flashing warning light. it then mysteriously resumed normalcy. at 135,000 during a brake job service, mechanic pointed out that the crossmember has prematurely corroded through along with concerns about the subframe and this car was unfit to drive which may be the reason for the above. i'm reading very similar stories of all the same symptoms that have already resulted in accidents with this car which is forcing me to park this.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while parking the vehicle, the power steering fault warning light was illuminated. the contact stated when she returned to start the vehicle, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the vehicle was not drivable. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer was not contacted. upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering) however, the vin was not included. the contact attempted to call the manufacturer but was unable to speak to a representative. the failure mileage was approximately 67,500.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle started shaking abnormally. the contact stated she was safely able to slow the vehicle to approximately 10 mph and proceed back to her residence. the contact stated that on her way to the residence she noticed that the power steering warning light illuminated, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. the contact called an independent mechanic and informed the mechanic of the failure. the contact was notified of nhtsa campaign number: 15e045000 (suspension) and 14v284000 (steering). the local dealer was contacted but the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recalls and that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 140,000.

After a few minutes of driving, the power steering assist began to fail. first, the "power steering assist fault" notification/error appeared in my message center, and steering became difficult, but the error disappeared after a few seconds and i was then able to steer easily. i parked my car and turned it off. when i turned the car on again about three minutes later, the "power steering assist fault" message appeared at startup and did not disappear. the power steering has not worked since. the error code "power steering assist fault" signifies that the power steering control module cannot determine the driver's steering input. because the electric power steering system cannot determine what direction the driver is steering, the eps shuts down. this exact error was the cause of a recall that began may 27, 2014 (see nhtsa campaign # 14v284000) (see also ford recall # 14s05). the recall states that "vehicles potentially affected are certain 2008-2011 model year fold escape & mercury mariner vehicles built at the kansas city assembly plant from august 18, 2006, to september 11, 2010." my vehicle meets all of these criteria; my vehicle also has experienced the specific error mentioned in the recall documents. i noticed no other errors or malfunctions with the vehicle at the time. the vehicle is available for inspection as needed. the error has been examined by an individual with knowledge of vehicle error codes and repair. the first eps system fault occurred while i was actively driving. if the eps had not briefly restored itself, i would have been stuck in an intersection and blocked the entrance to a large parking lot. additionally, i had just pulled off of a highway; if the eps had faulted a minute earlier, i would have been unable to leave the highway and would have been in a more perilous situation.

Noticed the steering on my 2010 ford escape would oscillate back and forth approximately 1/4" when in park. i made an appointment with the local ford dealer to have it inspected. in my own research i discovered recalls: nhtsa 14v284000 ford 14s05. but my vin was not listed for the recall and i have owned the vehicle since new. dealer reported that the steering column needed to be replaced but parts are backordered and it would be safe to drive until then. the next day, driving down the road the power steering failed with code b2278. the recall explains that only the torque sensor needs to be replaced, not the entire steering column. this is a safety issue and should be covered under the recall.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would depress the floorboard without warning. the contact stated that he would have to pump the brakes and engage the abs to stop the vehicle. the contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers where he had the brake lines bled, the master cylinder replaced, and the hydraulic control unit replaced. despite the multiple repairs, the contact stated that extra brake travel time was needed to stop the vehicle. the manufacturer had been notified of the failure and informed him that they could not determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle had yet to be repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I had no warning when i lost control of the vehicle as the power steering just stopped working. managed to get home and park it. message on the dash says power steering assist fault

I drove to a shopping center, parked the car and went to do some shopping. when i was done, started the car and attempted to pull out from the parkin place. the steering system was almost unmovable. using extreme force, was able to crack it a little bit while slowly moving back; however realize i could not possibly drive the car at that kind of effort to steer. pulled back into the parking slot, an proceeded to attempt to re start the car. by the 3rd attempt, the power steering worked normally; i tried moving the steering both directions, and after verifying that it was working apparently normal, decided to drive slowly back home. i parked the car and have not used it for almost a week, i have been trying to find if there were any recalls on this unnerving kind of failure. the steering system.

Power steering failed and information panel shows 'power steering assist fault'. there was a prior recall 14s05 from ford which was completed (software reflash) by previous owner. we purchased the vehicle in november, 2017, with the mileage at 71,000 and the current mileage is 117,000 the steering wheel vibrated off and on without any errors shown beginning about 85,000 miles. i have not taken the vehicle to a dealer yet.

As everyone is aware, ford had a recall on 2010 escape, recall # 14s05 - electronic power steering that i took in to ford 9-20-2016, recently the power steering failed, and i am thankful no one was on a road driving with a hard turn, then losing power steering that could possibly hurt or killed someone, my daughter usually drives this car with my grandson whose 22 months old, if the outcome would have been a fatality of one or both my daughter, and grandson, i would without a doubt have hired an attorney. i am shocked nhtsa is not pursuing this any longer, i hope you change your position, and make ford replace the torque sensor, that its not a matter of if it goes out, but when. my understanding is there are about 1,000,000 cars possibly more, with this issue, if the cost to repair were 500.00 a car for parts and labor, that would be a cost to ford motor co. 1/2 billion dollers or more, i hope its not money talking.

Power steering assist error and there is no power steering. the code has been reset several times but it keeps happening.

Power steering failed while driving at approximately 50 miles per hour. the power steering assist light came on, i was able to pull the vehicle over but it was quite difficult. checked for power steering fluid and this vehicle is not equipped with it, all seems to be electronic. what i didn't realize at that time was when the power steering goes your all wheel drive goes which makes it twice the hazard in the winter. i am thankful the roads were not icy as i probably would have crashed. there seem to be many recalls for this particular issue but not on my vehicle vin.....why is that? do i need a dealer to give me a failure report? will ford fix this? i await your reply, thank you for your time.

The contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated while driving approximately 15 - 20 mph, the power steering assist failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 250,000.

On 12/16/2019, i took my 2010 ford escape, [xxx] to kelly ford, beverly, ma for recall 14s05. electric power steering could fail, due to a faulty torque sensor. mileage was 84,977. i was told that dealer found that new torque sensor was not needed. system was reprogrammed. after this i experienced intermittent failure of the electric power steering. brought vehicle to kelly ford 1/29/2020. mileage was 85,811. they could not duplicate the steering failure. on 1/16/2022, the power steering has completely failed, & a power steering assist fault message has appeared. mileage is now 91,945 two ford dealers told me that ford will likely not cover the repair, since the recall was “closed” after they saw the vehicle. i called ford customer service 1/19/2022, & was told the same. she said that ford does not open recalls. i think this is wrong, since the problematic torque sensor was not replaced during my recall visit. this repair could exceed $2k, since the steering column must now be replaced. i think that ford should be held responsible to repair my vehicle correctly. especially since the vehicle can no longer be safely driven. ford states that upon failure, vehicle will revert to manual steering mode. not true. when power steering fails, it is much harder to turn than a manual steering equipped vehicle, & therefore unsafe to drive. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Hard to turn steering wheel when i driving i-65 have to pull over. that is really danger safety for my family.

The front suspension subframe k-frame crossmember has excessive errosion creating large gaps and holes in the frame, directly under the ac unit on the passenger side. the rust hole on top from the leaking fluid from the ac has continued to pool inside the cavity and caused erosion near the control arm. unknown to me or any daily driver, this excessive rust is not prevalent anywhere else or something i was aware i needed to check. other owners have been contacted and have experienced the same issue, some have had the part completely fail and cause accidents. the vehicle is very close to failure and i was not aware, there are no apparent side effects. i could easily cause an accident when using the vehicle. no other part of the vehicle has excessive rust so it is not a concern otherwise. the k-frame needs to be replaced and a hose needs to be ran from the ac to redirect the fluid being dissipated onto the k-frame as it is.

My wife was coming home from the grocery and before she left the parking lot the battery light came on and stayed until she got home, approximately 9 miles. when she was turning into the driveway, she lost her steering and nearly ran into a tree because the steering was so difficult. after she shut off the car i restarted it and the light was out and the steering worked properly. i searched for open recalls but your site says i have no outstanding recalls but this issue was on a past recall.

Driving down the road started hearing minor noises in the rear, then louder clunks when driving over road patches and bumps. parked in our driveway, and inspected, found out the entire strut tower on the rear driver side tire is rusted from the frame and there is a large crack that has formed in the unibody has well. our local ford dealership in town sent us to the auto body shop and the auto body shop will not touch it and said park it and do not drive it. it is dangerous to myself, occupants and others on the road you can move the entire strut tower. we are stuck with a loan for a vehicle when we bought had no rust marks anywhere until after a few months. also the roof leaks as well which was not visible when we purchased this vehicle of a lot. we took it back to the dealership we bought it from and since we bought as is, they would do nothing. they said they'd help get us in something different and will not return any calls. they had to have known this was a problem when they sold this.

Component: engine cradle/front subframe - (9l8z-5c145-a) large holes rusting in it on passenger side. mechanic recommends replacement as otherwise hole could weaken the structure to the point it breaks, control arm could pop out. seems to have been a known issue on older models like 2001-2004, but any newer models are not covered by ford's recall, despite many people on forums saying they have the same problem. problem noticed by mechanic within the last year or so. some people hypothesize the problem comes from where the ac leaks its condensate.

8-26-2022 - traveling on highway in colorado, clear evening, dry road conditions. while normal driving at 690 mph i came up to a stop light intersection. the light was green and turned yellow while i was coming up to the intersection. i pressed my brake normally and the pedal went to the floor, there was no warning of any brake issues, the brakes are in normal operating condition. had there been any vehicles crossing the intersection, i would not have been able to avoid a serious collision. i pulled off and was able to pump the brakes back to where i could stop the vehicle. i have absolutely no confidence in this vehicle stopping.

My brakes were squishy, so i took it to a ford dealership, where they replaced the master cylinder and the sender twice. after driving the vehicle about 10 times, they became squishy again, when i was approaching a red light. i became afraid that i would not be able to stop, so i started pumping them, and was able to stop. there were no lights to indicate where the problem was located. i took the vehicle to a different repair shop where they tested the replaced components under pressure, and they failed. again, the master cylinder and sender unit were replaced. today, 9-6-2022 a light came on stating the brake fluid was low. i returned to the repair shop where they determined the abs unit needs to be replaced. again, the brake fluid message was the only indication that something was wrong. to me this is a safety issue, and i was afraid to drive the vehicle thinking they could completely fail and i would not be able to stop causing an accident.

My girlfriend's electric power steering went out when she got home. something that it was previously recalled for. also while she was driving she was getting really bad shaking in her steering wheel this is the second time this has happened and it is really dangerous.

Steering wheel began rapidly shaking when parked or when in drive. this shaking began to make steering dangerous as it would make me swerve while operating the vehicle. this began a week before the power steering went completely out and now the dash has a message for power steering assist fault. the vehicle is also throwing code b2278. i have seen on the ford official recall list that there is a recall on certain ford escapes made in certain manufacturing states but i believe my vehicle is affected by this recall.

I found out there is a recall on over 600,000 cars from 2006 to 2010. mainly ford fusion for the same problem i'm having on my 2010 ford escape. there is an abs breaking valve that sticks and the abs module needs to be replaced. this is happened on my car and is not under the recall but it's the same model as the 2010 ford fusion and the same part. why is this? i brought this into my dealer the first time they said the brakes were bad and the rear brakes needed to be adjusted and the valve was sticking but they were able to get it unstuck. they flush the brake fluid as well after $500 nearly $600 i went to drive the car and it was exactly the same. that's when they said it was the abs brake module, the valve sticking and needed to be replaced. this seems to be a pretty common problem with these cars. why is there no recall on this?

I was driving at a speed of less than 40mph. i was going around a curve and the wheel felt as though it yanked from my hand to the right and i went into the ditch and up the embankment. i was unable to control the wheel. i came to a stop partially on my side due to the steep incline. due to the snow and ice in the ditch, many components under my right side were broken and torn off making it difficult to see all the damage. my car was totaled. police responded and i was helped out of my vehicle. the tow company came and towed it. no warning lights were on. i am very lucky to be alive- if i had been going any faster i would likely have rolled my vehicle due to the lack of control i had of the wheel and tires. it felt as though it was "slippery" under my grip, like the wheel wasn't controlled tightly by my steering. i was not majorly injured but am very sore and will need continued chiropractic care of my neck and right hip and shoulder.

While driving my vehicle and exiting the expressway making a left-hand turn approximately 35mph suddenly my steering became extremely hard to turn, and i almost crashed into another vehicle. on the dash the power steering assist fault warning light alerted me. extremely hard to turn the vehicle at lower speeds and dangerous.

I was making a left turn from a complete stop across traffic, and my steering wheel would not turn. i almost got hit by a car, and had to reverse quickly to keep from being hit. i was able to man handle the steering wheel to get home. i had it towed to the local dealership, and they told me it was electrical parts that would cost over $4k to repair. the dealership would not give me specifics on the issues, and i've been trying to reach them all day to get a print out, so i can have a private mechanic look at it. the dealership told me that the steering recall had been fixed way back in 2014 before i took ownership of the car, but i can't find that proof anywhere. the car is running just fine other than that. i did notice after i got two new tires a few months ago, that when i got up around 80mph on the interstate, the car would shake a lot. i had to slow down to around 70mph to keep it from shaking.

Rear frame over rear tires, rusting through frame, i was told by collision shop that the 2008 through 2012 has this problem and ford motor company has done nothing to fix this problem. it is a safety problem and everyone knows about it and nothing has been done. if this area breaks the driver can lose control and kill someone, i don't think this problem should be ignored any longer. i've kept my escape in mint condition and just found out about this problem. i hope you can look into this and resolve the problem before someone dies because of it. thank you from: coy tidwell

Unknown passenger side rear quarter panel rusting above tire well. no other rust on vehicle. in review of online complaints this is common for ford escape’s 2008-2012.

I was sitting at a red light with my foot on the brake. i was behind another car when all of a sudden i hear a chime looked at my cluster and it said "check brake system" and my car was rolling forward. i could feel i still was pressing on the brake and wasn't sure what to do so i put the car in park. once the light changed i turned into the side street and when braking realized that while my brakes were slowing down the car they were not stopping it as normal. i made my way carefully to my mothers home as i was on my way to drop her off when it occurred. while driving i realized i could still stop the car with the brakes but i needed to put more force than usual and the brakes had more resistance. the car also did not stop smoothly but more like hard braking. once i arrived at her home i turned off and on the car and it was still displaying the check brakes. i turned off the car again and pulled on the emergency brake release just in case and when i turned on the car everything worked as normal. i had the car towed home and had a mobile mechanic come and check it out. for him the car worked fine and no codes displayed in his system. i have contacted my local dealership and ford twitter to seek help. as of now my dealership hasn't contacted me after 24 hours and the twitter account states they will look into it. searching online there appears to be many other instances reported similar to mine. possibly related to the ford fusion brake recall nhtsa campaign number: 19v904000. this car was purchased used but has been taken care of and had regular maintenance at both a local shop and ford. i've never experienced this before but am extremely hesitant to drive now as i don't want to cause an accident or be stranded somewhere. if this is indeed related to the fusion campaign there should be a recall as all other incidents reported were also for a 2010 ford escape hybrid.

The car has had issues starting since i brought it from a used dealer last september. over time it got more difficult to crank. i started checking youtube to see if it were just me and came to learn that there is a great multitude of others having the same issue with their ford escapes. the locking mechanism from the key that flips the ignition switch is either too week or it doesn't turn far enough for the vehicle to crank. i have had to remove the covering from my steering wheel and manually use the spare key as an extension of the o e inside the ignition, in order for the vehicle to crank. the same process is required in turning the car off. right now it works, however could be a hazard with all of the wiring in the steering wheel exposed. and who is to say that one day the vehicle won't just shut off in the middle of the highway with the key and ignition switch having an imaginary physical connection?

Power steering went out. unable to turn or control vehicle

@12:56pm on 2/11/2021, my car suddenly and without warning lost all electrical power, acceleration, lights, pedal/gas completely unresponsive. the time remained on. it was 19* f with no precipitation on dry/partly snowy pavement on highway us31 just s of the north muskegon/business 31 bypass. i was going about 75 mph and adjusted the cruise control to slow for another vehicle shortly before the shutoff. it is not clear if that is related, because the timing was not immediate. i had not changed lanes in more than a mile, although the road does twist slightly in that location. i had on automatic lights, defrost and rear defrost, bluetooth audio, and cruise control. my tank was just below 1/2 full of gas and the vehicle has been maintained but is not stored in a garage overnight. i coasted to an emergency lane on the passing lane, turned the key off (other than the time, audio, and brakes, nothing else would respond.) i started the car again after about 60 seconds, it started without problem, and i could continue to my vaccine appointment with no discernible signs of any other issue or error. it was terrifying.

All of a sudden the engine starts to rev up when i am waiting at a traffic light or driving. it scares me that i push on the brake more as i am waiting for traffic light to change or when i am driving i take my foot off the gas pedal because am afraid of going faster.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving 30 mph, the service vehicle soon warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost power. the contact mentioned that the failure recurred on ten separate occasions. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage and vin were unknown.

Cap less fuel system indicates failure on warning system. after continuing to drive engine warning eluminates.

I was with my daughter on our way to take her back to college. while in motion driving westbound on 595 (a major hwy) my vehicle felt to have surged and lulled, surged and lulled a few times as i accelerated pulling on to 595 (an entrance with a slight incline) i continued to accelerate to safely merge with traffic on 595 w within moments the little yellow/orange "wrench" light illuminated on my dash and suddenly i had no control over my acceleration. my vehicle did not respond to my applying gas and i watched the speedometer rapidly drop before my eyes from 68 mph to 16 mph as i did my best to cross over several lanes in fast traffic to an exit for 95 n which was fortunately there. my vehicle "limped" (identically as others have shared) and i safely pulled over onto the grass where i waited the next 1.5 hours for the tow truck to tow me home at 9:00 p.m. while waiting i began trouble shooting my vehicles issue based on what the manual had stated and was terribly disappointed to find all the information regarding the etc and to learn that my vehicle was indeed one of those which was extended and with this defective part. i had not received the letter and so i was unaware of the "recall that wasn't..." it was an unfortunate experience and needless to say i am very disappointed in ford's lack of accountability. from what i've read this could have been much worse. now i am left with having to go to the dealership and hoping they address the real issue at hand and be accountable now and stand behind their vehicles. my ford has never left me stranded until now and sadly so this malfunction/defect could have been avoided had ford focused on customer safety and service satisfaction. i've owned 2 fords and would like to continue to do things the american way. ford will need to step it up and do their part!

This can happen any time the engine is stop, while park at home,shopping any where the engine is stop . to start the key in inserted to steering column opening and it will not engage properly at times it takes to move back and fort the key while inserted and it will start, this is happening more often now. took the escape to grand prairie ford texas and they said it was the steering column lock module need to be replace plus an alignment total for $787.65 understand that the 2009 escape has the same problem but ford has issued a recall on it but not the 2010, this is rather absurd since the know the problem. now i have the choice to repair or drive until the key no longer works, what a choice, i'm a widower , retired and live on ss, thanks ford.

Takata recall / ford defective product low mileage escape involved in a frontal crash and rear ended another vehicle (2005 accura) and the air bag system failed to deploy. $13,000 escape was totaled. this is unacceptable.

Check engine light has come on. displays a error code of p2119. i have been told that this is a problem with the electronic throttle actuator control valve. the symbol of a wrench is also displayed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving at any speed and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lost power. the wrench icon indicator remained illuminated on the instrument panel. the ignition was turned off and restarted. the vehicle was driven home and the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure was not duplicated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

*p2111 throttle actuator control system-stuck open* the first time it happened i was pulling on to the highway from a side road when i went to accelerate my car started to shake and jerk then lost power. i was able to limp it to a side street where i turned it off and then tried turning it back on again, my car wouldn't turn over at first and took three times before it finally cam back on with no problems at all and i took it back home where it stayed till a friend could come look at it. nothing was found at first. the second time this happened i was driving down the road and i started to lose power i was able to pull into o'reily's where they hooked it up to the computer and came up with the code listed above.

When i was taken a left turn, in the middle of that turn the power steering went out. it all most cause a accident. ford had a recall on a software upgrade last year an, because i had this done they will not cover any of the cost for repairs.

Gas pedal becomes unresponsive without warning. brakes work but shake car when i try and slow down. car seems ok after turning engine off and back on. i bought this 2010 escape pre-owned in 2013 and this happened the day we got it. dealership replaced the electronic throttle body and it has been fine until about a week ago when same issue has happened twice in a week. dealership is replacing the electronic throttle body once again for free. it concerns me that this is having to be replaced a second time. if a manufacturer is aware of a known safety issue like this and they replace the part, i'm expecting whatever was inherently wrong with the part causing it to fail to be fixed. now i'm wondering how long until it has to be replaced again or if it will go out during high traffic on the highway putting my wife in harms way without any way to control the speed of the vehicle.

Recall has expired on my suv due to it being over 150,000 miles. i didnt not recieve a letter indicating that i needed this update done to my car until aug 19 2016 when my car started to loose power with the wrench symbol being displayed on the dash. i called customer service on aug 20 2016 and spoke to representive that told me that my car had a recall on it that i needed to have done and said that i had 10 years from the time the car was made or 150,000 miles to have the service completed. i did tell him that my car was over the 150,000 but he told me that the service could still be done due to it being within the 10 year mark and that i should take to a ford dealership. so on aug 21 2016 i had my car towed to the ford dealership in greenville sc where now i am being told that the serive can not be done because i have over 150,000 miles. it will cost me $101.00 to have them check it plus the amount to repair it not to mention i am out of the money it costed me to have it towed to that location. if i had been told the service could not be done i would not have taken it there in the first place. i feel i should get some kind of compensation since i am out of money and never even recieved the recall letter. oh nor have i been able to speak to a manager from customer service.

The wrench light comes on. whenever it does car almost goes into a stall of sorts and am unable to go above 55 mph on highway. i know there was a safety issue with this but no real recall that ended july 2015. the warranty extended from what i have read. can i still get this fixed under warranty?

The ignition switch on my vehicle no longer works and has to be replaced. this is a recall for the 2009 ford escape but not the 2010 and ford is telling me i have to pay between $500 and $600 to fix something they know if broken. the advisor even told me that ford is aware it is the exact same parts in the 2009 and 2010 that is broken but ford will not issue a recall until enough people complain about the issue. what kind of crap is that. so i now have a vehicle i am still making payments on because i purchased it preowned and cannot drive it because ford has defective parts in the vehicle and refuses to own up to it until enough people come forward to complain about it. i spoke with an advisor at the five star ford in plano, texas.

I was driving down the highway going around a turn the abs light and traction control light came on and the steering became hard like no power steering. shut car off when i arrived at destination started vehicle again lights were off drove a little ways same thing happend again

Was driving on the interstate when a power steering sensor lit up. mike at ford is telling us the recall was done on this vehicle in august of 2014, by the previous owner. therefore, ford is not liable, though it is the same problem. we have had two other mechanics look at it. both have said, there are numerous complaints with the same thing.

Everyone we fill up the fuel tank the car fillls up with gas fumes making anyone in the car nauseous. this has been going on for about 2 years and i have taken the vehicle to the dealerahip at least 3 times before the recall and i have taken it once more since the recall but all i am told is that they dont have any fix for it yet. this is a danger to me and my kids and this need to be fixed immediately.

Steering wheel vibrates and entire car shakes when stopped or moving. sometimes you can reduce the severity of it by applying a slight turn of the wheel, but even then it often starts again. it even occurs at highway speed and is very distracting.

Takata recall after fueling the vehicle, the "check engine light" illuminated. the vehicle then stalled and jerked after cranking the engine and stalled out while still. after diagnosing the issue, it was cited the car has a "gross vacuum leak" indicating that the "easy fuel" gas flap is not shutting properly. this seems to be an issue for most ford escape owners and even other ford owners that have the "easy fuel" system. the suggested solution by most dealers and technicians is to eventually replace the fuel fill pump, however the repair seems to be pretty costly for an issue impacting owners based on a faulty "easy fuel" system.

A few weeks ago i began noticing that my steering wheel would vibrate (really more of a jerking back and forth motion) while the car was idling. soon it was doing it every time the car slowed or stopped. now i can feel the jerking of the wheel even while driving. i took the car in to a firestone for service who told me that this was part of a ford recall (14-s05) and that i needed to take it to a ford dealership. the ford dealership is telling me that the recall is closed and that i need to pay $1000 for a new steering column. i called ford who said that there is nothing they can do. this is a major safety issue as the power steering can completely go out (which they know). many others have had issues getting ford to honor the recall and fix their steering column. *tr

I was driving on the freeway and my steering wheel froze, i was not able to move it. it was the scariest thing. there was an immediate ding in my car and it said power steering assist fault, or similar. i was able to get to work (thank goodness) and called the ford dealership, i called my insurance company and had it towed to them because the steering wheel was so hard to turn, i was afraid i would not be able to turn left or right. i do not know if they will honor recalls from reading numerous issues with responses i have read, they are no longer honoring them. i am a 2nd owner of the car and did not know anything about this. this should be an ongoing recall, this was very scary and if my kids were in the car... this is a huge safety issue... without warning it goes out? this could have ended a lot worse. *tr

A recall was issued in 2014 for the power steering. i took my vehicle to the dealer and the "fixed" the recall in oct of 2014. today the power steering failed while my husband was driving the car. he was also making a turn in a busy intersection. had i been driving, i would not have been able to control the car with manual steering and may have caused an accident. i have put less than 20k miles on the car since the "fix" but i am outside the 2 year or 12,000 mile warranty period for the recall. it takes my about 30 seconds to find others on forums that this exact same thing has happened to. i don't think a software fix (which is what was done) was the appropriate fix for a determined faulty part, the torque sensor. ford needs to do the right thing and recall the part and not take the easy way out and do a software update.

My 2010 ford escape has a misfire between the steering or ignition column and the electrical system, the car rides very rough and has lost power steering during driving on a highway, brought into ford dealership and they said no recall for the parts needed to repair, i read thenhtsa reports and read all the facts that happened to my car it said it is the control module and instrument cluster module.. but dealership said no recall.

Takata recall

Fuel inlet light is on. this is a major problem with ford. i need it fixed.

Corrosion of hatchback brackets.i have ownened my escape for 2 yrs and noticed the corrosion of these brackets.i was returning home from shopping and went to open the glass portion of the hatchback when the hinges broke off due to the corrosion over the years.the only thing i can think about is what if this would have happened while i was on an interstate,not a good ending. i have checked other websites and this is a very common problem with these veichles.i have even noticed this problem in shopping parking lots and other ford escapes on the road.please advise what to do this is a very serious problem as well as dangerous.

My vehicle was parked and i was loading my cargo area. as i closed my lift gate, the rear glass exploded. there was nothing that could have poked the glass to shatter it. the broken glass covered me and actually, somehow managed to send shards in front of my front bumper. thank goodness there was no one else within 10 feet of my vehicle.

Electronic throttle body is causing major issues while driving

In july 2014, ford issued a recall (14s05/nhtsa recall 14v-284) for defective torque sensors (for power steering). my vehicle was recalled. ford had an option of re-programming or replacing the part. although i wasn't experiencing a problem at the time, ford reprogrammed my vehicle in july 2014. but in jan. 2017, the defective part failed and the power steering was lost while driving on a local street.. i had to replace the torque sensor at the ford service dealer in putnam, ct at a cost of over $500. i ended up paying to replace an admittedly defective part which should have been the responsibility of ford. i believe the re-programming did not address the issue and that the defective part should have been replaced. *tr

I sent this email to ford in september 2014 i was in an auto accident where by another vehicle hit a deer which landed on the driver side window which shattered into thousands of tiny shards of glass. for over 2 years, i have being dealing with thousands of tiny shards embedded through out my body (face, lips, hands, arms, legs, neck, chest) which over time are working their way out. it is very painful and leaving scars and disrupting my sleep on a regular basis. when the vehicle was repaired, i turned on the heat for the first time and hundreds of shards of glass blew out the heater vents. my vehicle vin number is [xxx]. i think you should test the windshields of similar cars from that lot to make sure the safety glass was properly kilned or whatever treatment process so that others do not potentially experience the same incident. i question also if the impact exploded the glass in a similar way the rear window hatch glass that is frequently found on-line and if the manufacturer of the windshields had some type of quality control issue. at a lost of words given this is the second email i am sending to your corporation regarding this incident. i can be reached at information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

About 3 years ago, we started having problems with the component within in the fuel take that shuts after you put gas in the vehicle. we kept getting an error notice that it was not shutting. we took it in to the ford dealer, where they claimed to have fixed it. about 2 weeks later, we the code came up again. we took it back to the ford dealer and this time, the neck of the fuel tank had to be replaced. this seemed to take care of the issue for some time, but within the last 6 months, we've been getting really bad gas mileage. we maintain our vehicle very well, so this was concerning. we put new tires, did a completed tune-up, etc., but this didn't help. about 4 months ago, our check engine light came on & the code said there was a part that needed replacing; the vent valve. we did that, and then 2 weeks later, the check engine light came on again for the same thing. and then, as we're pumping gas, the gas keep shutting off, as if we are topping it off, when it's actually empty. we were having a hard time just filling up our tank. we finally took the vehicle in to our local repair shop (whom we trust). the vent valve that was replaced was full of fuel. they are having to replace the canister. we are hoping this will fix the problem. if not, they said we'll need to replace the fuel tank, which is currently on a national back order. but i checked my vin# & was told my particular vehicle isn't part of that recall. i love my little escape, but we've had problem after problem with the fuel system for some reason, for the last 4 years. it's very frustrating & ford just shrugs their shoulders at us now. *tr

Steering column not working stationary or in motion

1. difficulty applying the brakes and when their applied the whole back of auto shakes terribly 2. the back door on driver side does not lock and the back hatch door does not open and stays locked.

My power steering broke down and my power steering assist light came on.i called ford about it and they told me the power steering was repaired back in 2014 due to a recall.they told me that they are not responsible for the repair even they repaired it once. so is ford responsible to repair it again because it was recalled once before. thanks...

While making a turn, the electrical steering assist disengaged for a few seconds and a beeping alarm sounded three times. this happened to me on another occasion. after the second time i got the car back home and parked it until i could determine what the problem is. found the same happenings on the nhtsa website. there was a recall on this problem and my escape was one of the recall vins. in 2014, i took it to ford dealership and they did whatever was required at that time. i never had an issue before the recall, and they apparently did the replacement to keep the electrical assist from disengaging. from my understanding, they extended the warranty 10 years or 150,000 miles. my escape is at 191,000 miles currently. ford service says they cannot fix it without me covering the cost, and if another recall is issued, ford may reimburse me. i believe another recall should be required as vehicles today are driven more miles that 150k. it is dangerous when the steering assist disengages as no power steering is available. the steering wheel is almost impossible to turn when the assist goes out. fortunately, i did not hit anything as the steering assist reengaged while still in my turn. if it had not reengaged at that exact time, no doubt in my mind that i would have hit the vehicle in the other lane. i was on a highway at the time it first happened and the second time it occurred i was turning into someone's driveway.

Power steering assit fault - exactly like nhtsa campaign number 14v284000. the vehicle is doing exactly what the summary mentions but ford motor co is saying that my vehicle is not one of the ones recalled even though the manufactured date is during this period (april 2010) when i called my local dealer in exeter, ca. this happened when the car was started and confirmed multiple times.

I was waiting for the green light and when i began moving the steering whell went very hard to operate for a few seconds and began working normally after that. it happened twice with only a few seconds in between. after that it became normal until i turned off the car. next time i turned on the car until today it have never been normal again and it's very hard to operate, even worse at low speeds. the following message is displayed: power steering assist failure.

My power steering went out while trying to leave the parking lot after work. i could barely turn the wheel at all. sensor said power steering fault.

Right front cross member at lower control arm completely rusted prematurely, front end started making clunking noise when driving

Replaced master cylinder, booster front rotors calipers and pads. pedal is soft and goes almost to the floor when braking while stopping.

2010 ford escape was stationary when an error message appeared on the dashboard indicating "power steering fault." the wheel would turn but only with great effort. my mechanic indicated the power steering module needed to be replaced and is covered by a ford recall. further investigation revealed that, while subject to the ford recall, the dealer "updated the software" and ford would not repair the faulty power steering module. power steering modules should not fail. if they are prone to failure they should be recalled and replaced.

Ford escape power assist steering recall just purchased vehicle oct 14 2016. nov 7,2016 the power steering assist went out when making a left turn at 10mph. found out there was a recall on this, took to dealership & they told me no recall on this vehicle was found. dealership wants $700 to fix. contacted ford customer support & was informed that a system update was done in aug 2014 for the recall. on 2nd call to ford cust spt, a "investigation" was opened & sent to dealership to have them try to work with it. after numerous phone calls, both the dealership & ford cust support were both putting it off on the other to work with the issue. i feel that this recall should be an ongoing recall if they are only going to do the system update & not replace the steering shaft torque sensor on the first occurrence, or that the steering shaft torque sensor should just be replaced instead of a system update at no cost to the vehicle owner. there are too many complaints that i've read in the last 48hrs of this happening over & over again to people who've had only the system update. i'm currently waiting on a phone call from the dealership to have this situation taken care of, on their part. i will not stop voicing myself, on behalf of others who've had this same issue happen to them, more than once!!

Like millions of other ford escape owners, i have a big problem with the throttle body on my 2010 ford escape limited v6. first i completely lost all propulsion/acceleration while driving at approx. 35mph. coasted to side of road, turned engine off. turned engine on and voila! runs just fine. several weeks later, at 75mph full loss of propulsion on a major highway, coasted to side of road, turned engine off. turned engine on and voila! runs just fine, until about 5miles down the road when it happened again. then about another 3wks later, it happened again on a backroad in nc at about 60mph. this trip it happened several times and finally once i got parked and turned the engine off and back on (just to check), the check engine light came on. when i left my location, praying i'd make it home, no engine light, but now the wrench light came on. stopped for gas (i had too, i was traveling through the country) and when i restarted the vehicle, no engine light or wrench light indicator. this problem has happened again on two more occasions yet neither problem indicator light has illuminated. i've had the truck "computer scanned" with no error/problem codes showing up. i've called 2 different dealerships, who told me "flat out" ...no problem lights/code...no fix under the "customer service extended warranty. you'll have to pay out of pocket. millions of these vehicles have been given the so called "customer service extended warranty" yet the stipulations it makes it virtually impossible to obtain the necessary repairs of a known defective part/system malfunction. if by chance the indicator lights do show up, they won't even accept a picture, showing mileage or something to verify it's that vehicle or take a document from another reliable source (i.e., advance auto, etc.) we need a recall! please help! *tr

The automatic transmission in my 2010 ford escape started "flaring" between 2nd and 3rd gears "flaring" is a term used by ford to describe when the transmission delays shifting between gears and the engine revs until it finally shifts. . this has not really been a safety issue until two weeks ago. it started "flaring" occasionally between 1st and 2nd gears also. this is a concern because i'm not up to speed when this happens between 1st and 2nd. with traffic being heavy at times, i'm concerned that someone could rearend me when this happens. the dearer along with the ford representative haven't been able to resolve the problem between 2nd and 3rd gears so i doubt they will resolve this problem either. i'm further concerned that it could start happening with 1st gear and i could start to enter a highway and the car would not accelerate when intended and then suddenly accelerate when it wasn't safe to do so.

On 8/24/2016 my ford escape lost power, accelerator not working, while driving 65 mph on freeway. the wrench light came on. after turning off and on engine, it worked fine.it happened twice within 10 minutes. ford dealer fixed it by replacing electronic throttle body for on 8/30/2016. on 10/10/2016 it happened twice again and ford dealer did nothing because they couldn't find anything wrong on it. now it is ok, not sure if it will happen later.

Throttle body "secret" recall: for more than a year my gas pedal wouldn't work when accelerating after being stopped at random times, sometimes going months before it did it again, other times doing it multiple times during a 2 mile trip. it never set off any codes relating to the issue. four mechanics over a year looked at the vehicle including the dealership and fixed multiple things and the car continued to die while i was driving it, usually in heavy traffic. after spending $600+, ford finally decided to try a new part (throttle body), which was free to me because of a recall that was not advertised. after a week, this seems to have fixed the issue. now i have paid $600+ for parts that weren't causing the issue and spent a year trying to solve the issue. *tr

Engine was bucking, stalling at highway speeds nearly causing me to be in several accidents. (customer sat. program 13n03)

While driving around 70 mph on the freeway my 2010 ford escape started to hesitate with the engine running rough, and left me without the ability to accelerate... i was a sitting duck, luckily i was able to make it over to the shoulder without hurting myself or hurting anyone else. after researching this problem i realize that ford had recalled a certain number of 2010 ford escapes as well as 2010 ford fusion for the throttlebody to be replaced. they also back in january 2014 sent out a letter to ford owners stating that it is possible your escape's throttle body could go out; and explained exactly what that would feel like and what they could expect if it was to go out. why we recall some and not recall all; why wait till there is a problem until they can fix the problem. they knew this was a problem and they did nothing about it this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed.

Driving vehicle down highway at approximately 70mph, hit bump from road construction. surface was slightly elevated, steering wheel jerked and then was tilted approximately 30 degrees off center to the left. lifted vehicle and inspected, found k-frame on passenger side was rotting through and had partially detached. causing alignment to change. not much material is holding it on still.

A vibration sporadically occurs in the steering wheel when idling mostly but not only. at first i thought it was related to the a/c unit but it happens whether on or off. temperatures are not affected on gages. i believe this was why the vehicle only had 55,000 miles on it when i bought it in 2018. the vibration occurs when moving or stationary when it happens its seems completely random. it has been happening noticeably for about a year now. at least noticeably. probably unrelated but the vehicle has always had something a little off about the engine when i bought it. it seemed a little louder than it should be and not as smooth i thought it should have been. so it might been an issue the whole time but becoming more noticeable. when it happens it usually happens for 30 seconds to a minute but has lasted longer. once it wouldn't go away at all until i turned the car off and restarted it. i took it into a ford dealership about 4 months ago and explained the issue not as well as i am now since more time has passed and thought maybe it was a trottle body valve issue i read about and they said no there is no issue with that. reading forums it sounds like it might be related to the power steering control. it is causing the steering wheel to vibrate so maybe it is a power steering issue.

I was loading groceries into the window area of the tailgate. when the bracket cracked, appears to have corroded and cracked.

Driving on main local road appx 30 mph when the check engine light popped on, then the car suddenly died, i was able to swerve to park, shut restart car, car sputtered made it ten feet and died again. went to mechanic, he checked alternator, battery, and ran the code test could find nothing wrong, driving again appx 1 week later same thing happens again. mechanic can find nothing wrong. my car does not even have 60,000 miles on it. i am the only owner, and have maintained my car as recommended. if me and my family should get injured or die in this car our blood is on ford.

Alarm goes off for no reason when parked. replaced batteries in key fobs with no change. had issue investigated last year by ford with no satisfaction. was ok during winter but now it is hot outside. heat related?

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn with the power steering assist warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to dahl ford lincoln located at 561 theater rd, onalaska, wi 54650, (608) 779-2886, where the dealer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics who were unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 10v222000 (power train), however the vin was not included. the manufacturer was informed of failure. the failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

I've replaced ignition switch twice, and now having to replace ignition housing. left me stranded several times. i was stationary and vehicle would not start. this made me late for work and school. *tr

My ford escape hybrid is experiencing an issue with the etb which is putting the vehicle in limp mode. this issue was investigated on a number of ford vehicles in 2014 and found that it was a defective part of the throttle body, however hybrid vehicles were omitted from the warranty repair. my ford hybrid is experiencing the same issues that other models had verified and should be included in the warranty coverage.

Steering quit while driving ford denies that the recall 14s05 not only that i almost had accident due to sudden loss they want me to pay $2000 for faulty steering assembly when they know it?s not working. *tr

Steering wheel locks up as if the power steering is going out. started today for the first time turning right into a gas station and i had to slam on my brakes so that i wouldn't hit the guy coming out since i was so unprepared for my power steering to go out! i had the recall fixed years ago and somehow...its back! i see that this is a common issue with these vehicles. *tr

Thread holding seat cover together and seatbelt deterated cause covers to fall off seat and belt to detach from vehicle. *tr

While driving, the vehicle suddenly became extremely hard to steer. the dash displayed “power steering assist fault”. i was over 20 miles from home on a very curvy canyon road. it was very difficult to keep the vehicle in the road. this is very unsafe that this could fail without notice. i saw that some ford escapes have recalls for this issue but not mine. there should be a recall on all these cars if this is going to be a recurring issue. i saw that there were many compliments about this from other ford escape owners. *tr

Steering went out while i was driving down the road almost got into an accident it is an electronic steering device that in other vehicles produced out of the kansas city plant have a recall on him but apparently mine does not i cannot steer my vehicle it just shuts off it's electronically this is a serious safety concern i cannot drive my vehicle yes it is 10 years old yes it has over 80,000 miles but i have several other ford vehicles that have well over 200,000 miles and i have no issue with the steering other than this one with its electronic steering which i do see there are recalls for certain escapes produced during that year out of the kansas city plant and now ford wants me to pay over $7000 that she just fix something that they should've corrected. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that after loading groceries into the rear cargo area of the vehicle, the hatch door was closed and the rear hatch window shattered. there was glass on the contact and inside of the vehicle. the contact was not injured by the shattered glass. the manufacturer was contacted and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle for the failure that was experienced. the contact was referred to nhtsa for assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

My car has an steering assist fault , the steering wheel gets hard to handle , it was going on an off but now on my odometer it shows that it has a steering assist fault, i tried calling ford, but no answer, also i tried the website and when i put my vin number it would show no recalls. *tr

Steering wheel shaking vigorously when idle and low speeds. full power steering loss, with power steering system fault code shown.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, which extended the braking distance. mullinax ford of mobile (7311 airport blvd, mobile, al 36608) was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 125,495.

Turning into a driveway my car started giving a warning beep, on control panel it said power steering assist fault, had no power steering, thought once it was drove and shut car off it would reset but that didn't happen. still have no power steering, saw there had been a recall on this before i got the car but if this got fixed at that time it has happened again. *tr

While driving on county road (cr475) @ 50 mph experienced dangerous loss of acceleration power. wrench and check engine lights comeon. turned engine off and restarted clears lights for awhile, then they reappeared while driving. called ford dealer (ocala, fl) told me issue is know to them but customer satisfaction campaign had expired @ 4 months prior for my vehicle! i purchased and registered vehicle 12/2015, have never received any notices of this issue. they acknowledged that this throttle actuator failure was a dangerous issue said i should replace it myself "if i chose to" and keep receipts "in case they issue a recal in the future" ford dealer gave me compliant # cas26375302.. spent $400 to have this corrected because i believe this could be a life threatening situation if it occurs at high speed or in an intersection. i guess ford will wait for someone to get hurt before acknowledging the severity of this throttle malfunction.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was difficult to steer. the vehicle was turned off and turned on however, the failure persisted. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering wheel needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering) as a solution to the failure however, the vin was not included. matt bowers ford (3724 veterans memorial blvd, metairie, la 70002 (504) 887-8410) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 99,000. *bf*jb

Is it common for my 2010 escape xlt to have a evap code reading having a large leak? code p0455

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while her daughter was approaching a stop light, the power steering ceased with the power steering warning light illuminated. the vehicle was towed to basil ford (1540 walden ave, buffalo, ny 14225) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a power steering failure. the vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering) however, the repair failed to fix the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

The outlined recall for the power steering on this vehicle was recalled. according to the nhtsa website, it has been repaired. despite this, this problem has resurfaced. i am unsure what to do about this. as power steering is a very concerning safety issue. the steering wheel is twitching while driving and while idling. it is getting progressively worse as days go on.

To issue a recall requiring to replace the sub-frame and repair any damage from a bad frame. control arm and other connecting suspension parts will separate from frame and or sub-frame which can result in serious and or fatal injuries. this vehicle has rotting frame/sub-frame and this problem with other ford escapes has been reported many times to ford. this issue should be resolved asap as serious injuries/death will result if not addressed.along with fords reputation of doing the right thing. thank you

We have concerns about a fuel leak and subsequent fire risk for our 2010 ford escape xlt with the li i4 engine manufactured at the claycomo, missouri, plant. there has been fuel odor since september, 2019 upon approaching the vehicle. as of this week, in addition to the smell of fuel, there is a noticeable, visible pool of fuel under the vehicle; on the left side of the vehicle, in front of the rear left tire. a photo is attached. there is a recall on some 2010 ford escapes for a different engine, i would like the recall extended to included the aforementioned vehicle.

Frame on front passenger side is rusted through causing wheel to be detached from frame and also control arm. told not to drive car at all until frame is fixed. safety issue. vehicle is kept in a garage. the vehicle was being inspected.

We've had the brakes fail once before and once again today. we hit the brakes on thhe interstate and afterwards, the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. the last time, we took it to a service station and they couldnt' find anything wrong. it happened again this morning on the interstate. i believe it's related to fsa 19s54 recall and that ford escapes should be evaluated to be included in the recall.

My mother was driving the vehicle today straight on a street and she lost control of the vehicle and almost hit another vehicle (only by gods grace she was spared from a deadly accident). i went to look at the vehicle at her home and found out the right lower control arm where it is bolted to the front suspension cross member was severely fatigued that was corroded badly broke off unexpectedly without any warning at all. i then researched this issue afterwards and there were several complaints on line of vehicle about this same safety issue. i may be seeking legal counsel from todd tracy law firm of dallas tx. for this possibly deadly and severe defect that was not properly addressed from ford and nhtsa to consumers and is a hidden ticking time bomb putting people in danger. why have you not notified people of this issue? i cannot be the first and only one with this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contacted stated that while driving approximately 30 mph when attempting to steer either left or right, the steering wheel became extremely difficult to maneuver. the contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated that the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Steering wheel vibration getting worse by day seat belts in back don't work properly . sometimes dont work at all breaks dont work after carwash.

Was driving down the road in my car started acting funny .my steering wheel would just shack back n forth while drive or in park. when driving after about a week my power steering assist fault comes on .it was on for about three days .i go to get in my car to leave crank up car put it in drive in i can barely turn left to right.

When driving for as little as ten minutes and other times longer, my truck will lose power while driving and i will start to feel the truck slow up. then when trying to accelerate i can only get up to 20 mph. also if i take my foot off the gas, without putting my foot on the brake, it'll come to a halt. it does go over 2,500 rpm on a good day. i cant take off fast even if i wanted to. the only code that has come up when dealing with my issue is the catalyic converter. i have replaced my o2 sensors and got a new converter on but still having the same problem. i even replaced the throttle to see if that would help and it has not. no one has been able to help me figure out the issue. i have taken it to reputable shops and mechanic and spent a ton of money trying to resolve my issues. i am fearful for my safety and my son's safety not knowing when it will lose power. i cant even hold a job at the time being because of this issue with my truck.

Steering wheel shakes back and forth at idle while stationary and parked. my research reveals that it is a symptom of the failure of the steering torque sensor in the steering column. it seems like it would be covered in ford recall 14s05, or recall #14v284000 but a cannot find my vin number included in these recalls

Electric power steering went out with 130k+ on the vehicle. there was a recall for this back in 2014 but because it wasn't "broken" in 2014 they closed the recall. now in 2020, it is giving fault codes and it stopped working all together. ford refuses to replace the system because it wasn't broken 6 years ago when they realized the mechanics of the system were faulty in the first place. the vehicle was being backed out of a driveway when it lost power steering almost causing an accident.

While driving, the steering will shut off suddenly after a small "click" sound and the power steering is suddenly gone. the battery symbol will light up randomly. all of the electric components will fail when the steering does, including the entire dash, heat/ac, radio, heated seats. it has happened when the vehicle is in motion on city streets multiple times. sometimes the car works perfectly, other times the power steering refuses to reengage for a while. it has happened while driving forward and reversing. it doesn't seem to matter what speed i'm going, if it decided to shut off it's just gone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the vehicle lost power steering assist and became difficult to turn in either direction. after turning the vehicle off and restarting the vehicle the message “power steering” displayed on the instrument panel while the failure persisted. the local dealer olathe ford (1845 e. santa fe st. olathe, ks) was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 165,000.

The steering wheel would occasionally shake ~1” in either direction for about 10 seconds while idling for about 2 days; did that 4/5 times each day. it would stop while driving. the 3rd day a sensor alarm went off about 60 seconds apart and by the 4th time, it finally said this error message on the screen ‘power steering assist fault’. all of this part occurred while driving on the interstate, getting onto the exit ramp, onto the main road, through the neighborhood and parking into my driveway. when looking up the code, this was listed for a recall. 1 tech at the dealership said it was a part of the recall. another tech said it was not after all and i would have to pay for it. they insisted it was only for a few vehicles yet it is the same exact recall warning listed. american corporations and government bodies lack common sense while thriving on greed and control. obviously the exact same parts were used and the exact same recall has been listed, but magically due to greed and poor common sense, i am being told to jump off a cliff. let’s finally take care of what needs to be done and build trust to one another. there are thousands of comments stating the exact same thing in which ford refuses to fix this. nhtsa, you are officially on notice to do what is right and necessary and make ford fix this for everyone and not whom they so choose. tired of the government being blamed for everything? me too. so for once do something to truly shove the billion dollar corporations do what they promise to do and stop worrying about a ceo’s 7 figure salary and hurting their feelings. do something productive please and stop waiting for multiple deaths to occur before you have a meeting with a catered lunch and starbucks to discuss your feelings on the matter. common sense says preventative maintenance works!!!!

Steering wheel started to wiggle or twitch when parked or driving. sometimes fast and other times slow. ford should recall under code 14s05. steering is going out because of computer torque misfiring. this is dangerous and is happening to 100s of people.

When driving battery light comes all lights on dash goes out then eventually will come back on, there is a clicking noise on the dash then the power steering goes out n the heat will go off n on periodically. i've seen others complain regarding same issue on blogs. this happens everyday several times

While driving the power train will reve up like it miss a gear and then resume to normal, sometimes it will shift gears on the highway while driving and hit real hard, like a clutch; this happens quite often during driving on the highway.

Power steering was lost while driving. power steering is now in manual mode. power assisted steering has failed. dealer says that this vehicle is not part of the recall that has affected several others. same components as other recalled escapes. as ford dealer charged $150 to diagnose the issue.

Failure of the steering torque sensor b2278. when driving or idling, the steering wheel will turn by itself as the steering torque sensor fails. ford dealership closed the recall without performing the replacement of the sensor based on remedies recommended in recall 14s05. ford refuses to acknowledge that their recall was not completed correctly and will not honor recall to replace failing sensor

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel seized with the power assist fault warning light illuminated. the contact managed to steer the wheel and drive to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the power steering control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. however, the failure recurred multiple times intermittently. the contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering) as a possible solution to the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that no recall was under the vin provided the contact with case#(25442840). a dealer (beyer ford located at 170 ridgedale ave, morristown, nj 07960 (973) 644-3200) was contacted and confirmed no recall was present the failure mileage was approximately 116,000. *ln*jb

Igniton switch fails to work half the time turn key will not start without excessive tries

For the last 2 months or so, when i have turned the key in the ignition, the vehicle would not start. i would have to turn the key back to the off position & try repeatedly to turn the key all the way forward to finally get the vehicle to start. because of past problems with the vehicle engine dying suddenly on me & in particular a couple times when i was turning the steering wheel & my right hand happen to gently brush the key in the ignition.... i now wondered if i could start the engine my simply gently turning the steering wheel. the next time i turned the key all the way forward to start the engine & nothing happened i kept the key turned all the way forward in the ignition & tried to gently turn the steering wheel... the engine came right on. quite alarming & scary to think that you can turn the engine on by turning the steering wheel. explains why the engine easily turned off in the past when my right hand barely touched the key in the ignition & i lost power steering. perhaps ford's safety recall 14v-284 was actually about this problem & not the torque sensor they claimed... that situation involved an electric power steering system fault & loss of power steering as well. a local ford dealer (1-7-2020) charged me $618 to replace the lock housing & the problem has not happened since. hopefully i don't lose power steering again any time soon again. the vehicle has just over a 100,000 miles & has been horribly horribly horribly unreliable. we bought this junk brand new & neither ford nor the dealer have ever reached out to us to right this wrong. nearly $40,000 wasted for an unreliable vehicle that i would be lucky to get $3,000 for on a trade-in not to mention that i am scared a new unaware owner could lose power steering suddenly & not know how to react.... especially @ high speed & in a turn in a road. god help you if your not strong & calm.

Had to make an emergency stop. the abs system engaged and there was no accident. afterwards i had no brake. car has been in four different repair shops and i have spent over $2000. i have had front brakes and rear brakes replaced, master cylinder replaced and a used abs module replaced. still do not have proper brake. found service notice online from ford #19s54 which addresses this issue on some ford vehicles and states a recall is in progress.. escape is not included but problems are the same. similar parts are used on many ford vehicles. escape should be included in recall. my car is useless without brakes.

Fuel inlet light fuel filler neck defective causing a gas leak can not pump gas

Fuel leaking entire fuel system needs to be replaced fuel neck broke.

The power steering failed, making it nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel. shortly before the failure, the steering wheel began to vibrate. the failure occurred while backing out on the driveway and turning to pull out , thankfully not on a public street or while navigating the canyon roads in our area. the date of the incident was december 30, 2019.

I was driving in wet weather and slid on some leaves while braking. this caused an activation of the anti lock braking system (abs). after the abs event i had a difficult time stopping the car. the brake pedal felt spongy and it took all of my effort on the brake pedal to bring the car to a stop. this spongy brakes persisted for several miles. i immediately took my car to my neighborhood mechanic. he checked the brake system and could find nothing wrong. the brake system had returned to normal by itself.

All the warning lights have been persistently coming on since aug. 2019. the speedometer stops working, all the warning lights come on, while driving, i have no clue how fast i'm going??? i can no longer start the car without having to push the thob's security lock buttons to lock/unlock for it to start. i took it to my auto mechanic at sam's auto in waterford, who thought he fixed it no problem, but i drove it off his lot, and its still doing it. that was after several attempts until now. sam and terry think i could be in danger. i spoke to my insurance agent who said i needed to contact you about the recalls on the suv. it's scary, and i've only had this car since 2018 when i bought it. in fact, i am copying this report to my files 12/08/2019, and to send to my insurance company. i don't feel safe in my car, and would like it repaired, so that i can trade it in, or just get rid of it. thank you, i did call you earlier this year about this car. i had been told for sometime by my friends to contact you about this vehicle because of the many recalls.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle experienced a loss of power, jerked, and the wrench icon illuminated on the instrument panel. the contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. the dealer was not notified. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Fuel pump cracked (part #pfs534) in 2010 ford escape hybrid 2.5l engine similar to recall on other ford escapes with 3.0l engine. cracked fuel pump caused vapor leak engine light. vehicle would still operate but strong fuel smell was coming from the fuel tank area and within the vehicle. i was surprised that the recall only impacted 3.0l engine fuel pump and not other ford escapes, especially when it seems like they are having the same problem and likely have a very similar part.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that both the driver and passenger side seat belts malfunctioned and would not retract to secure the occupants. the cause of the failure was not determined. covert ford (8950 research blvd, austin, tx) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 100,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that the steering wheel and front wheels vibrated out of control. the contact inspected the vehicle himself and found that the wheel bearing was the wrong dimension. the contact replaced the driver's side wheel bearing himself. the contact took the vehicle to an unknown dealer for the steering failure and the steering stabilizer was replaced. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering) and nhtsa campaign number: 15e045000 (suspension). the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Exhaust hose under vehicle drive side leaked causing exhaust creep into cabin with excessive strong gas smell inside and outside cabin both stationary and in motion.

Ford very well knows that this is a serious safety issue. the power steering assist fails unexpectedly. they are putting $$$ over safety.

While driving my escape i lost all power steering control. error noted was power steering assist fault.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving, the steering wheel vibrated. while the vehicle was stopped, the steering wheel vibrated again and the power steering assist faulty indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the torque sensor needed to be replaced. the mechanic also stated that there was an unknown recall for the failure. the manufacturer was called and stated that there was no recall, and tried to up sell an extended warranty. the contact retrieved the paperwork with the diagnostic codes from the independent mechanic and went redlands ford inc. (1121 w colton ave, redlands, ca 92374, (909) 793-3211). the dealer stated that there was no recall and offered an extended warranty. the dealer referred the contact back to the manufacturer. the failure mileage was 140,000.

Tl* the contact's friend owns a 2010 ford escape. when the vehicle was started, the power steering failed and the throttle control and power train indicators illuminated. the contact's friend was able to drive the vehicle home. the contact discovered and associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the contact spoke with corwin ford tri cities (1225 n autoplex way, pasco, wa 99301, 509-544-8000) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle; therefore, they would not assist. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 134,402.

Turning the wheel to the right at low speed gave the message “power steering assist fault”. drove home and parked. went to leave later and the power steering was completely gone. diagnosis at mechanic said it is power steering torque sensor. contacted ford dealership was directed to ford canada. ford canada says we can’t help you try your dealership. many calls later they find a document that says since i had the computer upgrade which prevents me from losing power steering while driving i am. or eligible for the replacement of the torque sensor which is covered in fords 14s05 recall of “certain” ford escapes/mariners manufactured between april 2006 and september 2010 (mine is early 2010). mostly out of kansas. though what happened to me is exactly as described in the recall. guess i shouldn’t have had the software update?

Faulty abs module from factory causing 'soft' brakes that limit stopping ability and potentially fatal result. many ford escape owners suffering same issue but there has been no recall despite it being a factory fault.

While driving in a variety of circumstances, (in town at stoplight and accelerating on highway) my 2010 ford escape will just shut off. no warning, just dies. i have been to 4 mechanics including one at a ford dealer just today. no codes show, so every time i am basically told that they "can't duplicate issue" and i am sent on my way with no remedy for what is a very dangerous malfunction. i just called ford and started a case number to see what they will do. judging from other comments i have read on internet, i am not hopeful. i cannot understand why a recall wasn't issued and how i am just learning about the scope of the problem now-after spending $20k on this vehicle.

Only 85000 miles on vehicle - both rear wheel wells rusted through

Pulling into parking spot lost power steering completely. more then once on multiple occasions

When driving my vehicle the brakes begin to make loud noises then it will slow down as i'm trying to accelerate. then it will pick backup with speed. after which i began to notice a burning smell as if the tires are burning..

Replace evaporative emissions

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving 75 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, shifted into neutral, and attempted to restart the vehicle, but it failed to start. the contact quickly shifted into park and powered off the engine. when the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, the engine sounded as if it were about to start, but it did not. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. a friend of the contact's family googled the failure, which indicated to reset the fuel pump switch located on the front passenger side. the fuel pump switch was reset and the vehicle was able to drive normally. on another occasion, while driving and slowing down, the vehicle hesitated to stop. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 137,000.

Vehicle has taken to stalling/dying without warning. this has happened three times in the past week. the car was in gear and going approximately 20-25 mph each time this occurred. fortunately, i was on residential streets with 25 mph limits and no cars were in the immediate vicinity on each occasion.

Window regulator on 3 of 4 windows had to be replaced. cable breaks (loud, startling bang), window "drops" and cannot be raised. one incident occurred while driving in 2017, one occurred while car was stationary and occupied in 2018, and one occurred while car was parked and vacant (6/27/19).

The vehicle flex fuel system is horrible and the vehicle shuts off for no apparent reason. we have have had the vehicle inspected and reviewed by mechanics, who come back with one issue, the flex fuel set up. so we ordered and replaced the flex fuel pipe 2 times now. the engine light still continues to pop back on after a couple of days go by. the car shutting off while driving is a safety issue. this vehicle was purchased for my 16 year old daughter from a dealership less than a year ago. i am scared to death she will crash when the vehicle shuts off on the interstate. the 2011 recall ford issued covered the same type of issue, which in my opinion should be expanded. my daughter just called and stated that the car shut off 5 times in the course of a mile. luckily, she was local.

A year ago brake system light came on/off. had front brake line changed. brake system came on again off & on operating okay until a month ago the abs light with brake system on and vehicle had no brake control forward and backward. had brakes pads changed and hoses for brake system checked. and still abs + brake system came on and no brake control. had car towed from home to dealership. asked if there were any recalls for braking and was told non. luckily most on the non braking functions happened in low speed area, neighborhood, side streets and a little on main 2ndary road. there's lots of similar complaints but no recall for the same problems. safety issue.

According to your vin search, my particular vehicle was not a part of the 5 recalls on the year, make and model of my vehicle. now with that said, 1 recall that is listed, i am having a fuel leak just as it is described but again my vin is not listed for that recall and it should. everytime i fill up with gas, and the gas handle clicks to inform that the tank is full, the gas starts to leak very badly from up underneath and this happens everytime.

My vehicle which is a 2010 ford escape has 2 major safety issues. this is now the third issue with my 2010 ford escape where the rear window shatters whileclosing the gate. this is a known issue with ford and they will not fix. glass shatters into thousands of pieces and projects 10-15 feet in any given direction. yet, ford will do nothing to fix. this is very unsafe where i have had glass shot at my face and i also have a dog that is often put in the back of the vehicle. the only way ford will do something is if i pay. i also wonder how many people have not filed complaints thinking this is a fluke accident and may have gone through insurance. i know it is no fluke since this is the third time this has happened and talking with ford they acknowledge the issue. there should be a recall on this vehicle. i have filed two other complaints with the nhtsa. the second is with the throttle body. the car will loose all power at varying speeds. i have lost power on the highway and the car almost stalls. the technical (not a ford one) that i brought this to said it was a common issue but ford was doing nothing about this. i have filed complaints with the nhtsa and there are many other complaints but there is nothing being done about these issues. ford refuses to fix them. *js

My vehicle is experiencing a throttle body failure. per the ford dealer it is only covered under the extended warranty if it does it during a test drive by a dealer. the vehicle is patently unsafe. it shuts down in all driving situations, highway speeds, surface road speeds, while moving. i have almost been in multiple accidents due to this issue. the local dealer - fowler ford - is not following ford's directive and is charging me for a diagnostic when ford says not to. the 2010 ford escape is a death trap. i am now stuck with a vehicle that has had multiple recalls for less serious issues, but the one issue that can get someone killed does not qualify for a recall? this makes no sense, i am afraid to drive the vehicle, but have no choice. why was ford allowed to get away with an extended warranty on a part that fails randomly, while the vehicle is moving in traffic. it seems that ford was given a pass on an issue that will get someone killed.

While driving at posted speeds on a state highway the vehicle lost acceleration power and the gas pedal went limp. after putting the vehicle in park the engine ran rough in idle. the wrench icon also comes on. when using an obd2 reader a code of p2112 was given. when the car is turned off and back on it seems to temporarily correct. this has happened 4 times in a span of 2 weeks. it happens while turning and driving straight. i believe this has to do with a faulty throttle body.

Driving on city street once at about 30mph the first time about 60mph the second time. i suddenly lose speed and vehicle goes into limp mode. the wrench light also comes on. i can turn vehicle off then restart and it seems to be ok. it's happened twice in a month. took it to dealership for repair under field service action 13no3. ford refused to repair because they could not get a code off my vehicle indicating it was the electronic throttle body. so i would have to wait until it happens again, have it towed with the engine running so the wrench light will stay on because it goes off when i restart it.

The throttle is messing up.. it keeps stopping and then i turn my car off and start it again then it works. it happened on a busy street and i had my 3 kids with me

I am contacting in regards to the ford recall 270277; fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump. my gas cap light came on last september and when i took it into my regular shop they were able to repair it, however, as this as before the recall was sent out, i had to pay out of pocket. this was a significant cost and i would like to be reimbursed. i am attaching the receipt here with a description of the repair which matches the description of the recall. when i searched how to address the situation, this is the first option that came up, if there is somewhere else i need to reach out to, please advise. thank you.

Recall 16v-777 i received a letter from ford in january 2018 stating that parts were available for the vehicle to be fixed. i immediately called my local ford dealer - gibbons ford and was put on the waiting list since they didn't have the parts. it is now april and the dealer has only received three of the parts to date to fix this problem. i called ford customer sevice and was given a case number cas14605645. i was told this would be elevated to their management, but i think four months is extremely long time to effect a recall. the vehicle smells like gas and i'm hesitant to drive it due to the increased risk of fire. i basically have a vehicle i can't drive waiting on ford to get parts to the dealership. any pressure that can be put on ford to get the parts to the dealership would be greatly appreciated.

The "power steering assist fault" light came on and i loss the power steering ability as i was driving down the street. good thing i was on a city street and not going fast. i was told that there were no open recalls on this, but in 2014 there was a recall, but to update the software only unless the power steering had actually gone out. i want to know how did updating the software fixes the issue? i was forced to take it to a dealership, and was told there were no open recalls, and that it will be about $1,800 to fix. why is ford not issuing another recall to take care of the numerous complaints for this failure? it's so unfair that this was going to be a problem eventually, and ford slapped a band-aid on it so as to not take responsibility for their error. i guess if someone gets injured seriously enough, then maybe they'll do something. unfortunately, i have to pay for my car to be fixed, but i am going to do all that i can to get someone to listen to my concerns regarding the so call "recall" that didn't fix anything. never again will i buy a ford vehicle.

Air conditioning does not work and radiator fan running constantly and loudly sounding as if it will blow up. the air conditioning system parts have been replaced as have the radiator fan relay switch. the issues are re-occuring again. ford dealerships claim they have no knowledge of this problem or of a fix, although there are many similar complaints online. theses issues appear somehow to be related because when the rad fan is on high, soon after the air conditioning unit dumps the coolant. i just had a 5,000 mile oil change and inspection and the coolant was said to have been filthy, but it had just been replaced in early july 2017, when the air conditioning unit dumped it. the air conditioning is not working and the rad fan is running on high all the time.

Pcm has water damage due to placement under the hood. when the hood is opened water runs down directly onto the unit and into the wiring. the repeated water exposure has caused the unit to fault. this water intrusion causes the vehicle to fail to start intermittently. when turning the ignition, the vehicle will fail to engage the starter; however, headlights, radio are functional. intermittently while operating the vehicle, all of the lights on the instrument cluster illuminate and the tachometer and speedometer will stop reading speed and rmps, resetting to zero. when this occurs it not impair operation of the vehicle. additionally, the steering torque sensor is failing. intermittently, the vehicle will display "power steering assist failure" on the instrument cluster. when this occurs, turning the car on and off repeatedly will temporarily resolve the issue.

Recall 14s05. i received a recall notice regarding my power steering shortly after purchasing this vehicle. i took it in as instructed. the dealership "reprogrammed it" as instructed by ford. now the torque sensor that was also under same recall is out and they will not fix it. they are telling me the recall was satisfied. after doing some research and reading other stories about the same issue i feel this was a scam by ford to satisfy the recall. they are pushing the cost to the consumer. the reprogram is just a warning that the steering is going to fail it was never any fix. the sensor should have been replaced. this is a safety warning on their own admission when you call to inquire about the recall. i really think this is wrong on every level.

I was driving my 2010 ford escape when i all of a sudden lost power steering while turning with no warning. i was able to pull off on the side of the road then my escape began to make a "dinging" noise repeatedly after the vehicle was stopped and put in park. the car then showed "power steering assist fault" . my escape has not had power steering since this incident. i called the dealership i purchased the escape from and they informed that the power steering assist recall had been satisfied prior to me purchasing it with the reprogram and nothing replaced. i then called ford customer care who confirmed this information and that i would have to pay for the repair myself since the recall was already satisfied with the reprogram. when running a code scanner it comes back as the torque sensor code. i am currently barely able to drive the vehicle without the power steering and unable to afford the $1500-$2000 repair that i was told "might work" by the dealership.

Vehicle steering first failed while driving at 45 mph. a power on/off restart of the vehicle restored power sterring once. 4 days later, steering failed as the vehicle was powered on with a "power steering failure" (or similar) message on the center dash. this behavior is extremely similar to the behavior that recall 14s05 was supposed to fix, but the ford and the dealer is claiming the software update done in 2014 was sufficient and won't honor additional repairs. i strongly think nhtsa and ford need to do an additional recall.

I was driving home mid day turning on to the main street when my power steering went out. it is a tight turn and lucky i had a hold of my steering wheel because it took everything i had to keep the car in the correct direction and not hit the pillar for a restaurant on this street corner. as this happened i did hear an alert going off in my car after the situation was under control i noticed my dash had a warning on it saying power steering failure. my thought was how stupid is that i already know this steering is out. i called the ford dealership i have taken my car to in the past and they informed me that there were no recalls on the steering, but before i had called them i did some research and found that my car did indeed have a past recall from 2014 for this steering problem. while on the phone w the dealership i informed them of this recall and they informed that this recall was repaired on my car in october 2014 with a software update. according to what i understand this software was just to install a warning chime & the dash warning. i want to know how this software fixes this dangerous problem. i could've been in a bad accident if was a weaker person. i can not afford to have this problem fixed at a ford dealership so i will be having this fixed at local shop at a cost to me of approximately $1,000. ford should be required to repair this dangerous mechanical issue or reimburse customers who already had this repaired. why wasn't ford required in the 1st recall to do this repair correctly. i beg you before there are more injuries or even deaths to recall this again and require ford to fix this issue. i did file a complaint with ford motor where it seemed they could've cared less. i do not have an invoice as of today only received an estimate at this time for repairs. as soon as these repairs are complete i will save a copy for future reference.

Vehicle cuts out stops while running doesn't idle cuts off at lights

Escape randomly stalls out and is unresponsive. can be driving on highway, a mile for home or on 45mph streets. unable to reproduce but happens at least once a week. ford will not fix because they cannot reproduce. this is dangerous and unacceptable. not acceptable to have a car randomly stall out on any street and manufacturer not willing or can't fix. have seen other people reporting the same issue with their ford escapes but no resolution and no help from ford. i've contacted dealerships and ford service with same disappointing response. keep spending money having dealership look at it in hopes they can reproduce it. not a good use of anyone's time or money to do this when this seemingly is a problem that ford is aware of based on my research.

Takata recall

Rear seat behind the driver is locked in the down position, and cannot be returned upright. when driving, the vehicle spontaneously surges forward , especially when starting from parked or a stopped position and at highway speeds. code read "throttle body actuator"

Car stalls and runs erratic and check engine light displayed. auto repair place diagnosed the problem related to the throttle body which has already been identified and is covered under a ford customer satisfaction agreement from what i was told.

Turned right onto freeway onramp with slight incline, after driving a couple of miles. made it about 20 feet when the accelerator pedal stopped working. unable to coast out of lane of traffic due to incline and was almost hit by multiple vehicles during rush hour. two red warning lights on dash (i think engine oil and battery). nothing stopped besides the gas pedal (radio, a/c were still running). put vehicle in park and turned off. was able to immediately restart and accelerator pedal worked again. vehicle had new throttle body related to csp 13n03 at 41,000 miles. current mileage 90,000.

For about a month, when i would first begin to leave my residence, the ford escape would surge forward maybe 5 to 10 feet while already in motion on the street. then the escape stalled completely when i slowed down to make a turn... thank god i did not turn in front of some on-coming vehicles. the escape has also felt like it wanted to stall several other times while driving around town before it finally did just before that turn i already mentioned. ford has not offered to buy this vehicle back (outside of a trade-in for a new purchase) but i sure wish to god they would. i had the vehicle looked at by ford & they had to replace the throttle body for the third/3rd time! it is under a 150,000 mile recall for this very problem. our vehicle has just over 70,000 miles & we have had to have the throttle body replaced 3 times! we bought the escape brand new... nearly $40,000 with all the bells & whistles... i think we average about 8,000 miles before each major problem... insane.... disgusting.

Car started stalling on a busy interstate and was brought to the next exit by driving on the shoulder and repeatedly restarting the engine. the local firestone garage seems to have fixed the problem by replacing the throttle body.

Suv stalls, no acceleration. light looking like a wrench comes on when car stalls.

Driving and vehicle "gulped" and slowed to less than 10 miles per hour. due to traffic was able to pull over and get off roadway. called tow truck...$45.00 and had towed to close mechanic and they found that the "throttle body was not working properly". vehicle has 84,872 miles on it. they replaced throttle body and cleared codes...$346.92. this has been a problem and this vehicle was purchased from a ford dealership. repairs were made at advanced automotive repair, 114 e austin, bolivar, mo 65613 and completed on 5/9/2016

The fuel canister on the 2010 ford escape will backup and cause the check engine light to come on and release gas fumes and could be a potential calls for a fire and when it does this it will release strong gas smell. this will be the 2nd one on this vehicle

Car died 3 different times while in traffic on a 4 lane highway. it's will start running ruff and the wrench light comes on the dash. stop the car, put it park and shut it off for a couple of seconds, then crank it back up, the wrench light is off and it is running fine. the last time it did it, the check engine light came on. took car to tire kindle so they could read the code as the ford dealer was closed. code was throttle control sensor was stuck wide open. this same problem happened about 10,000 back with my wife. the car had about 45,000 miles. she took it.to the ford dealer and they replaced the throttle body as there have been this problem before. this problem should be resolved as it is life threatening by doing this heavy traffic situations.

Power steering suddenly went out while my wife and her client were parking at a retail store. power steering has not returned since. my wife was able to park the vehicle safely but not able to steer it to move the vehicle anywhere after that (i had to wrestle with the steering to move the vehicle to a repair facility). the local ford dealership diagnosed this as a torque sensor failure. recall 14s05 service was performed in 2014 in as much as the software for the system was updated -no parts were replaced. ford has stated that the torque sensors in the affected vehicles are known to be faulty yet, when a unit fails (like mine) after the software has been updated, they refuse to fix it. my vehicle has just over 83,000 miles which is well below the reasonable life expectancy for a torque sensor. ford customer service and recall departments have refused any further remediation.

My power stering sensor light came on and had to be replaced there is a recall on this but not with my vin number i want to know why not when i had the same problem as the recall and it was for 2008-2011 escapes

In july 2015 after leaving golf mill ford in niles, il. for an oil change and tire rotation i drove through some construction mud and got home to clean the mud and noticed rust above the tire on my passenger rear wheel well, where i would have never looked otherwise. i called the dealer and went back and they put a claim to ford. after one month ford called me to tell me that because it was past 5yrs that they couldn't do anything. it could have been there before 5 years because it's a place where most car owners don't look. after researching on social media i see that there are thousands of ford escape owners with similar problem. there is no doubt in my mind that ford failed to make these vehicles properly and they should do a recall on all these vehicles and stand behind their product. i take very good care of my vehicles, washing and doing regular maintenance and it is also garage kept always. i am utterly upset with ford because they are just ignoring it and don't care. something needs to be done about this. the cars made in recent years should never have rust in that short of time. my previous vehicle was a 1997 ford explorer and was 12 years old and there was not a speck of rust on it. please help me and other owners with this issue !!!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel began to shake viloently without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering box was faulty and the steering column needed to be replaced. in 2014, the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The 3rd brake light assembly has melted from the heat of the brake light bulbs. the plastic melts and breaks the light bulbs out of the sockets.this worries me as it seems like a fire hazard and i don't know what's causing it.

My vehicle is displaying the electric steering assist failure warning and the steering wheel is shuddering at all speeds. the steering wheel also pushes back at times. problem started at 115,000 miles. i have had extensive communication with fmc and they steadfastly refused to admit any liability. they say that they will never fix this issue under any circumstances unless the federal government forces them to do so. they suggest that i have a dealer fix it at my expense. there have been many reports of instantaneous failures resulting in loss of control. this is an inherent problem with all second generation escapes. over 1 million ford vehicles have the faulty components. ford is stonewalling the problem in an attempt to avoid the multi billion dollar tab. you must act quickly! most of us do not have $1500 to replace the electric steering unit. many will continue to drive and endanger others in rapidly increasing numbers. i can send my communication with fmc.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving 20 mph and making a turn, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. the vehicle was driven home and parked. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Power steering stopped working as i drove. googled, lots of problems, bad part in steering column, some recalled not this vin. should be.

Called ford motor company customer service today regarding a used 2010 ford escape that we bought (from a nissan dealership) yesterday. i researched the vehicle & learned that is a problem with the "electronic throttle body" (etb) in this vehicle. i was also told by the ford csr that there a "redesigned" etb part that is used to replace the original part that is prone to fail suddenly. it also appears that sudden failure of the etb which according to ford is prone to fail could result in sudden stalling and/or reduced power to the car.... which could place the drive (my 16yo son, new driver) in a potentially dangerous and/or life threatening situation while driving. the ford csr acknowledged that, and even after he reportedly discussed my concern with his "manager", informed me that ford would only replace the part "...after it fails". this is unacceptable to me as a consumer & father of my son who will be driving this car. apparently, ford is willing to "gamble" on my son's (and others on the road) safety & health. i called our local ford dealership who informed me the cost of replacing the (prone to fault) ecb with the "redesigned" etb was $386 (=$210 labor + $176 part). it is absolutely unacceptable to me that ford will not, upon request of a ford escape owner, replace at ford's cost ford's acknowledged prone-to-fail etb which can potentially put my son's life at risk. this far exceeds abysmal customer service... apparently ford is willing to take a "known risk & gamble" on the health & safety of those who purchase/drive of their vehicles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the power steer suddenly failed causing the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the power steering assist sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the contact mentioned that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. the failure mileage was 60,000. ......updated 04/01/16 *bf *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that the vent controls failed without warning. the contact was unable to use the air conditioning and heating function. years before, the dealer replaced the power steering control module and the ic module, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body sensor and blower motor failed. the contact later experienced an extremely strong vibration in the steering wheel and the power steering warning light flashed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for further inspection to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v284000 (steering). the dealer replaced the parts. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 97,411.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while driving 70 mph on the interstate, the power steering failed without warning. in order to drive the vehicle and feel safe, the vehicle was driven home via back roads. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the switch in the steering column and the power steering motor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was in the process of being repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 95,200.

Vehicle was taken into ford dealership to have recall 14s05c performed (sept 2015). at that time there were no diagnostic trouble codes showing in the power steering control module. in jan 2016 on 3 separate occasions the steering wheel shook back and forth and a chime sounded while the vehicle was in gear and stopped at a stop sign. no light was left turned on on the dashboard. i read the service codes from the power steering control module and code b2278 was present. upon returning to the dealership i was informed that ford is not responsible for replacing the failing part (that would have been covered under the recall if the code was present when i first brought the vehicle in).

Intermittent power steering failure. this failure has happened four times in the past year. the power steering failed at low and moderate speeds, on city streets, without warning. this issue is very dangerous and could easily case an accident. i have contacted customer service and have been referred to a local dealer to investigate the problem.

From the time we first bought the escape (new) the battery light has came on at random times. we have taken in and dealer said there is not an electrical problem. when we drive the car and have the heat or air on it will randomly turn off and then a minute later come back on full blast. i also have rust under wheel wells that ford said they would not cover because it did not preferate the body but is clearly creeping up the uouside of the rear quarter panel as well. i have seen this on many of the same year escapes. when i pushed for results they opened an investigation then came back and said they would split the cost with me which i believe should be fully covered since it was still under the 5 year unlimited mileage body coverage. also, my wife was driving the vehicle last week and it randomly stalled on her causing her to pull off the road. safety is becoming a concern. not pleased with results given.

Vehicle experiences total loss of power in a random pattern, 2-5 times a week under various conditions including highway speeds, climbing slight inclines, over bumps..etc. recover can take a minute to hours. basically you can be on the freeway and loose engine power for forward motion, which is dangerous. all ford recommended software and throttle body changes have been instituted. dealers don't seem to be capable or interested to resolve issue

Upon vehicle inspection with certified auto dealer- the vehicle has extreme corrosion in under body part - control arms - dangerous separation. per reviewing the nhtsa records several ford vehicles have been repaired in approved regions due to accidents causing deaths due to separation of control arms corrosion. the recall should be extended to all vehicles in the cold weather regions affected for safety!

I was making a long distance road trip and began to notice subtle vibrations in the steering wheel. the vibrations began to increase in intensity over time, most noticeably when the car was at idle. at one point the vibrations were very intense during idle. after a rest stop i turned the car on and tried to turn the steering wheel but had much difficulty. the electronic power steering assist was not functioning. i had previously brought my escape to a ford dealership for recall #14s05 where they updated the pscm to address the issue i was experiencing now. the torque sensor has failed causing the epas to shut off even after my car was supposedly fixed a year prior. ford has failed to address the issue fully and the work done to correct recall #14s05 is insufficient.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. the contact stated that when the liftgate door was closed, the rear window suddenly shattered. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 58,500.

One day closed the rear hatch glass and the hinge holding the glass in place fell apart due to corrosion. now the window is barely hanging on only with the help of the latch locking it in place. not a sufficient amount of anti-corrosive used on the metal to protect it. now have to drive around with it barely hanging on until the replaces parts i ordered come in because they could only be found on the internet. also too the weatherstripping around the window is not plush enough i think to protect the inside from water damage which also lead to the whole liftgate failing to open anymore. i feel ford should take responsibility for the poor craftsmanship they did when first building the car. and i know i'm not the only one with this problem but i'm sure others fail to report it to the proper agency.

While accelerating, clunking noises heard in the transmission. when at 80 kilometers an hour, speed was suddenly reduced to approximately 30 kph.. causing a sudden deceleration almost caused me to be rear ended by another vehicle. according to ford, this is a known problem in the vehicle.. it cost me over $1000. to replace the pcm.. this is a direct safety issue.. i could have been killed because of a faulty part. the mechanic at the ford dealer informed me the problem exists because the pcm is placed in the main engine compartment and in a cold and damp environment, fails regularly. they replace these pcm's weekly.. so it is not just a problem for me, it is a money maker for ford. this needs to be classified as a recall issue and repaired..

I had been driving, then made a brief stop. when i started my car and put in "drive" to begin driving, my power steering was out. it was very difficult to turn the steering wheel. luckily i was only about 1.5 miles away. i managed to get home but had the car towed to northgate ford in cincinnati, oh the next morning. after 3 days at the dealership, they called to say there was nothing wrong with it. i know that other ford escapes have been recalled for the power steering going out, but checked my vin and mine was not involved......yet! two months later, i took the car in for continuing difficulty with starting (nothing would happen for about 10 turns of the key, then immediately would start) and inability to unlock/lock car with fob despite changing battery. they had to replace the ignition lock cylinder, cylinder module and bolt. suddenly the car both started right away and the remote key fob worked as well.

There is a possable throttle body problem on my vehicle ( i was sent a extended warranty) the dealer says the engine may just quit at any time with loss of all power thats dangerous! the dealer says i must drive it until it fails (ford wants to save money)you can get killed driving the turnpike with this problem.

When closing the back hatch of my 2010 escape, the back window exploded.

Ford only put a alarm on during recall taken back 2 months later to be told would not cover cost of ecm sensor which cost $500.00. this is a safety issue that ford will not cover. they found a way around replacing it with a alarm. how are you able to safely steer the vehicle going 55 when the alarm goes off the side of the rode. this is very daugerous. it went out twice on me. this needs to be looked in to immediately.

I had turned off the highway and was traveling down a busy road when my car completely stopped without warning. luckily, i was in the right lane and on a bit of a downward slope and was able to steer the "dead" car off the road. i turned off the engine and waited a minute. i turned on the car and it started again. i am concerned as i do a lot of highway driving and if my car suddenly stops like that again, there could be dire consequences. the earliest a dealer can look at my car is january 8th. my local dealer - january 14th. today is december 28th. after reading some of these reports, i am afraid to drive it. meanwhile, i need to rent a car, until someone at a ford dealer is able to look at it this is not the first time this has happened. however, after previously having the car towed to a dealership - i thought the problem was resolved.

Escape was impacted from behind by a 2012 ford f150 at that was going approximately 35 mph. as the force of the impact pushed me (the driver) back into the driver seat the seat broke.

While in motion at highway speeds the car jolted and the engine provided no power the the wheels and the wrench light illuminated. after a small amount of time the car jolted again and power was restored to the wheels. when car finally stopped and turned off and back on again reverse would not work. after taking the car in to a ford service station, the transmission was found to be stuck in fifth gear and chunks of the transmission were found inside of the transmission fluid which resulted in the need for a new transmission..

While driving my wife's 2010 ford escape in on i40 in heavy traffic the vehicle lost acceleration and the "wrench" check engine light illuminated. everything else with the vehicle seemed to be functioning ok however i could not accelerate or maintain the speed at which i had been traveling. this was during rush hour traffic on 10/29/15 with my wife and a coworker in the vehicle. i shut the vehicle off and restarted it however the problem persisted the vehicle would not move forward, until 20 or so minutes later. i drove the rest of the way home and had the engine error codes read code p2112 throttle body actuator systems closed shut error appeared. this happened without warning on a major highway in heavy traffic my wife coworker and self could have been killed.

Right rear window suddenly dropped down and does not work. we were told that the "cable burned out." a few months later the front passenger window, did the exact same thing. vehicle was parked both times. stationary.

Power steerin assist fault warning came on while driving on highway. i pulled over to see what that ment in my vehicle manual. when i started the car back up i could not manage to turn the steering wheel to continue to drive and had the car towed. there is a recall for this exact problem,(steering torque sensor), yet ford motor company will not honor it with my car, since it is not listed on the recall list.

The vehilcle went into a mode where it was able to keep throttling and was about to stall. it would throttle up and down on its own while moving. powering off the vehicle corrected the issue for the time being.

When i put gas in car it is difficult to start, after starting it shut off while driving.

The tail gate and rear passenger door have extensive rust. the tail gate has rusted to the point where it cannot be repaired according to the local ford body shop.

Vehicle acts as if it is going to stall but them jumps forward. both the check engine light and the service wrench went on. took it to dealer and they told me it was code p2119, throttle actuator control and throttle body range/performance. dealership stated that i didn't need to get it fixed right away. seems a little dangerous to me.

I had the recall 14s05c done in february to "fix" the potential electric power steering problem by reprogramming the pscm and ipc modules. now in september i started my car and the steering just stopped working. towed it to the dealer and they said the steering column and power steering needs to be replaced for a cost of $1,350. i sure hope ford will pay for this. i mean, what's the point of a recall service if it doesn't fix the problem.

My car sometimes suddenly just losing power. i could get killed on the freeway. from researching a bit i see it has something to do with the throttle body control. this has happened two time in the last two weeks. once as we get getting ready to get on the freeway and the second time as we were crossing a busy intersection, luckily we were able to get across the road without getting hit. i am afraid i have bought an unsafe car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. while at a complete stop and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated before moving. the contact stated that the failure became worse over time. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fifth gear had become inoperable and the vehicle needed to be kept for further diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 69,000.

I pulled out of my street on to a main road and with no warning my escape shut off completely while driving and multiple cars almost hit me because it was so unexpected. now my car randomly shuts off and goes into limp mode, causing it to be quite dangerous to drive my vehicle because it gives you no warning.

I was sitting at a red light and my car completely turned off. when i realized the traffic light turned green i removed my foot from the break and on the gas before i realized that the car was not moving. i put my foot back on the break, put the car in park, turned on my hazards and turned the engine off. after 3-4 tries i was able to get the car started again. this was very scary because i was in la county rush hour traffic at the time and there was no way for me to pull over since the car stalled while i was at a complete stop. i was in the middle of the street with no engine power.

I was stopped at a traffic light, with the brake engaged, and my car lunged forward into the car ahead of me, damaging it's liftgate (minivan) and bumper. i initially thought someone must have rear-ended my car, pushing me into the other car, but i was not hit from behind. my foot was on the brake the entire time. i am concerned this might happen again, injuring someone possibly in a crosswalk, or lunging me into cross traffic.

The problem demonstrated as i left the shopping center and made the first turn onto the street. the engine was very rough and not consistent, the speed varied from 20 - 40 miles per hr without any pressure to the accelerator. as i came to a red traffic light i had almost no brake pressure and prepared to turn into a school parking lot. this occurred in the first half mile of country road; as i realized i had no braking power i turned into a park lot and called for a tow truck. fortunately there was little traffic that evening. this produced unnecessary anxiety for me even though i was close to home. our mechanic checked many things, finally deciding it was diagnostic codes po306, po316, po109, po 300, and po304. ford tells me this is not under warranty. once again i felt this problem placed me in a potentially life-threatening situation for me as the throttle body had done previously (before the recall). i have nearly 3 computer pages of problems with this vehicle, ranging from seat belt latches, rear seat latches, hatch latch and defroster, quarter panel paint defect and rust, fan speed and effectiveness. this latest incident and the throttle body issues are the most serious. tonight ford informed me there is no ford complaint form online. i was adamant that a ford engineer needs to call me so i can discuss all the issues with this vehicle. trade in value on this vehicle has probably plummeted due to all the issues. this vehicle was paid off in 3 years and i am not in a position to buy a new vehicle but i hope it will not be the death of me. in the interest of public safety i hope these problems can be resolved. after all the issues with this escape i wonder how many car "accidents" are really "accidents". thank you for reviewing this data. *tr

While driving my tool light came on and car lost power. pulled over to side of the road and turned off car. restarted car and light was off then car drove fine. took my car into bickford fford and was told they can't do anything because the light wasn't on so they can't get a code. how am i suppose to get get the extended warranty on throttle body issues if the light goes away when the car is turned off? i can't drive the car when this happens so how am i suppose to get this covered by ford? i'm suppose to drive my car with unsafe conditions until it permanently breaks down? seems like a scam.

On august 31, 2015 i was leaving an airport and accelerating to merge onto a highway. i believe i was close to 60mph when i felt something in my car change. all of the electronics were still working, so i knew it was not an issue with my battery. the wrench light appeared and i realized i was no longer able to accelerate. i immediately got over to the right lane and by this time my speed had dropped to 40mph. i was able to safely pull over and put my car into park. the rpms spiked and i turned my car off. after waiting a minute or so i was able to restart my car with no problem. i got back onto the highway and took my exit. maybe 5-7 miles from the location of the first incident, i was driving approximately 40mph down a 2-lane street when the same thing happened. this time both the wrench light and the engine light were on. once again i pulled over, put my car into park, the rpm's spiked higher this time. i shut my car off. i was again able to restart my car right away with no problem. in the 9 days since this happened i haven't experienced this problem again. i am extremely nervous my engine will shut off on a highway again, in a location where i will not be able to pull over safely. when i called ford they said my warranty covers the throttle body, so they have scheduled the throttle body repair for september 11, 2015. this is a very common problem, and i think ford needs to address this for the safety of all drivers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford escape. immediately after starting the vehicle, the engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the technician diagnosed that the top of the fuel tank rotted out and the evap valve was defective. as a result, both needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 115,000.

When a driver was travelling down the highway, the hood flew up on this vehicle that we use for a company vehicle. this also happened to another ford escape the company has, year 2006, that i also filed a complain on as it is a major safety issue with no current recall.

While driving along the highway and for no apparent reason the engine completely looses power. when i pull to the side of the road it will sit there and act as if it is starving for fuel. i put it in park and i try to give it gas and there is no response. i will shut it off and re-start and it will be find it may happen again 5 or 10 miles down the road or it might not till the next day. the first few time it happen the check engine light did not come on but now it is and has stayed on. i see, looking at you tube and a few other sources that this a know problem with the throttle and ford has issued a customer satisfaction program or recall. but i also see this appears to be for 4cyl engines whereas mine is a 6 cyl.

Tell us what happened: was completely stopped and took off slightly pressing the gas pedal and it felt like it tried to stall out and then lunged forward. the service wrench came on and we stopped and turned the vehicle off then started it again and that time both service wrench and service engine light came on. went in to get the engine light tested and the result was throttle actuator control and throttle body range, code p2119

When came out of store and started the truck the power steering was not working. called my husband and he had me look for the fill reservoir for the power steering and check the belt. he determined that it is a closed system. this has happened many times since then. it always happens when i start it not while i am driving. i have had to drive it that way as it is my only mode of transportation. looked it up online and discovered there was a recall but the manufacturers date was only through 09/2010. mine is 01/2011. the dealer told me they cannot do it as a recall because mine is not on the list. even though it is the same problem as the earlier ones. ford told me to save my receipts in case there was a recall and told me i had to contact nhtsa to file a complaint. i am afraid it will start to happen while i am driving and cannot afford to have it fixed. they need to extend the recall before someone gets hurt.

My fan did not operate on the normal #1 setting but ok on the other settings. when i took it in to repair it i was told a board went out that caused the failure, the cause of that was from condensation from the ac tubing dripping on another board and caused both boards to go out. they had to replace both boards and reroute the ac line so it wouldn't happen again. i paid $954.06 for poor design/construction.

I had my escape in for the recall to have the throttle body updated in 8/6/2014. at the time of the recall i had not had any problems with the throttle. 1 year later while driving on the highway i lost acceleration, my cruise went off and the wrench light came on, pulled over and started it up again,no wrench light. happens again. also when i slow down and stop for lights, stop sign the rpms go up and down like it's going to kill. made appontment to have it checked, of course i will get stuck paying for it but will fight till my dying day. ford get your shit together and fix this issue. as soon as i can i wiil sell and not buy another ford product for the rest of my life. social network here i come. i will hollar at the tops of my lungs so every one hears how ford sucks. i will update after the appointment with the ford dealership!!!

The air conditioner on these cars are defective. there are numerous complaints online regarding the air not working. there seems to also be an issue with the front end wheel bearing/suspension.

The ignition switch does not always work when you turn the car on.

As i was making a left turn my steering wheel locked up, an alarm went off, and then the car returned to normal steering again. has happened quite a few times and have brought it to ford and still happened afterwards until this last time my power steering has gone out completely on a 7hr drive home with a baby in the back seat.

We lost power from our gas pedal. then it got hot. then it would not move.

Purchased 2010 ford escape xlt in april 2015. (1) vehicle had sound coming from engine when accelerating. issued fixed by dealer replacing belt tensioner but noise has since returned. (2) vehicle already had or developed constant vibration at idle when in drive and foot on break and gets worse with a/c on. took to dealer 3 times who stated they replaced right engine mount and rear transmission mount but vibration continued after repairs. service dept tech stating that there is a strong vibration but that they are unable to determine engine vibration but that vehicle is operational. vibration is very strong and almost feels like engine wants to turn off at times. if transmission is put in neutral or park then vibration is gone and not noticeable while driving. (3) transmission shifting from 1st to 2nd is harsh and delayed at times causing a jerking motion on numerous occasions during city driving and transmission occasionally jerks when put in reverse but not always consistent. safety concern is vehicle feels as if it may shut down while this vibration is being observed and causes safety concerns when driving vehicle and that transmission may fail soon. purchased at fiat of fresno, fresno ca.

Without any warning or previous issues, my vehicle stalled several times when making turns and approaching stop lights. battery checked out (had just replaced two weeks prior but had it tested again anyways.) at the time the battery was tested, i did not have an engine light on. an hour later a "wrench" light and the engine light came on. i received a computer diagnosis and it came back that the throttle body actuator was bad. i was almost rear ended the first time this happened yesterday morning because i was in the middle of a turn.

I was at a complete stop.bwhind a vehicle at a stop light. when i released the gas, my vehicle surged forward and hit the vehicle in front of me. fron that day forward, my vehicle had frequently surged forward or reved up qhile at a complete stop. now, my vehicle will shut off while i'm driving with no warning. the only light i see is the wrench light and that's only while the vehicle is rolling to a stop after shutting off.

The first time it happened, we were on our way to a funeral, an hour away, driving our 2010 escape about 55 mph. everything was fine and then the car jerked, the wrench light came on - had no acceleration, no power steering, no control. it was scary! luckily, my husband was able to pull to the side of the road without incident. turned the car off and said a prayer of thanks! car started back up after a couple of minutes, although not easily. did the same thing on our way back home. suffice it to say, this problem continued to happen. found out the car is going into "safe mode". my husband drives an hour to work (each way), all highway, approx. 70-75 mph and about halfway through his commute, the problem will happen. he has to get out of the way of the other drivers and find a safe spot to park. not always an easy task on the highway. took the car to the local ford dealership for this problem and other recall work (14s05 and 13b17). they told us they would take care of the issues. the next day, the wrench light came on, the check engine light is on and same problem still happens, although now the car drives in a lower gear and eventually you can accelerate, but not quickly. still not safe on the highway. found out today, dealership will look at the diagnostic code for $70 to see if there is a problem. ridiculous!! they aren't the ones in an unsafe car!

While driving at a regular speed of aprx 60mph, my car would make impulses and accelerate by itself.on a couple of times, i almost rear ended the cars ahead of me. and when i would come to a stop sign or red light, my car would stop in the middle of the road. took it for an inspection, the told me it was the trottle what was giving me a problem. i looked up online and it seems like this is a very common problem for ford escapes 2010. please take care of this. its an awful feeling when you are driving on a curb at 60 mph and suddenly your car accelerates. don't wait until someone gets hurt to do something about this. its always better and cheaper to prevent problems instead of fixing them.

The car suddenly accelerated, i had to slammed on the brakes and place the car in park to avoid hitting another car. these 2010 ford car is very dangerous and very harmful to anyone who drives it.

My car cut off while i was driving & when i was at a stop light. the car came to a sudden stop in the middle of an intersection (completely losing all power) a large suv swerved to prevent from hitting me. i immediately took the car to the vic bailey ford, they kept my car on & off for 5 days. charging me $98 for a diagnostic test (that they stated revealed nothing about the problem) & then they turned around & charged me $130 for a new battery, the car continued to cut off on me. they kept my car for another 3 days. finally they called me & told me to come pick up the car. the service dept. stated that they didn't know what was wrong w/ the car, but they knew something was wrong w/ it. they told me to wait til the problem got worst. they sent me home w/ a car that cuts off constantly, they don't care that i need to drive a dependable car.
