I AM HAVING THE SAME STEERING ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER 2011 FORD ESCAPE OWNERS. THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO QUIT AND LOCK-UP MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 FORD ESCAPES, SO MUCH SO THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A FACTORY RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR ESCAPES.

WHY DOES ONE MODEL NOT QUALIFY WHEN OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUES ARE RECALLED? SEEMINGLY, I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE IS LEAKING GASOLINE FROM OR NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THE LEAK APPEARS TO BE LOCATED NEAR THE FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY. THE LEAK PRODUCES STRONG ODOUR OF GASOLINE IN CABIN AND AROUND VEHICLE BOTH WHEN IN MOTION AND WHEN STOPPED. A LARGE WET STAIN UNDER THE TANK WAS VISIBLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON GRAVEL FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS, WITH A STRONG ODOUR OF GASOLINE. (NOTE ON THE ATTACHED PHOTO OF THE FUEL TANK ID BADGE, SOME INFORMATION IS CUT OFF. ON THE LEFT THE SECOND FROM THE BOTTOM LINE READS "SHIFT 3". THE BOTTOM LINE READS "OCT 26 2010 10:45PM")

THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS TO HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. GLASS WAS STREWN TOWARD THE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO IT'S DRIVERS SIDE. THIS WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE RIGHT REAR HINGE THAT WAS EXTENDED AND PROTRUDING OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW AREA. THIS MOTION PROBABLY CAUSED THE GLASS TO BE HURLED OUT AND TO THE LEFT OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

TRYING TO MOVE THE ELECTRIC DRIVERS SEAT BACK IS STUCK IN THE FORWARD POSITION

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CRUISING AT 80MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT EVEN WHEN I WOULD PUT THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IT WOULD NOT GIVE IT ANY ACCELERATION. A SMALL WRENCH SIGN POPPED UP ON THE DASH AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE L. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN IDLE THE ENGINE WAS VERY SHAKY AND RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN SO I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I SAT FOR ROUGHLY 5MINUTES AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT STARTED NO ISSUES. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS WORKING AGAIN NO ISSUES SO CONTINUED TO DINNER. ON THE WAY HOME TOOK 95 BUT WAS GOING 55-65 TAKING CAUTION IN CASE THE CAR STOPS WORKING AGAIN. TO NO SURPRISE IT DID SO I PULLED OVER SAT FOR 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUES AND FINISHED DRIVING HOME.

WHEN CLOSING THE REAR DOOR ON THE VEHICLE, THE BACK WINDOW JUST EXPLODED. SMALL PARTICLES OF GLASS FLEW IN ALL DIRECTIONS. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND DRY AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS WINDOW TO HAVE EXPLODED. I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT PICKED GLASS PARTICLES OUT OF MY CLOTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DEPARTMENT STORE PARKING LOT AND NOT YET OCCUPIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BELL FORD (410-766-3600, LOCATED AT 7125 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061) WHO STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

MY CAR ALWAYS SHOWS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE READINGS- SHOWS THAT THERE IS A LEAK, THEY HAVE CHANGED 4 TIMES THE PURGE VALVE. THE LIGHT GOES OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN COME BACK AGAIN. IT SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM ALL THE TIME. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING OR PARK.

I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEM ACCURED, JUST ONE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL FLAP. AS TIME WENT ON NOTHING SEEMED TO NOT BE WORKING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY AND TURNS OUT THE ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET IS CRACKED. CALL FORD AND TEY WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. PROBLEM IS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM NOT SOMETHING I HAVE DONE. NOTLIKE THEYVE EVER HONORED A WARRENTY IN THE PAST WITH ME ANY WAY. TO THEM ITS ALWAYS USER ERROR EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MORE DAMAGED THAN I LEFT IT WITH THEM.
