TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOOR FAILED TO LOCK FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE MANUALLY OR WHEN USING THE KEYFOB. THE CONTACT CALLED O.C. WELCH FORD (4920 INDEPENDENCE BLVD, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927, (843) 288-0100) AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V643000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW COOLANT LEVEL MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC S HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JORDAN FORD (609 E. JEFFERSON BLVD, MISHAWAKA, IN 46545) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO A FAILURE OF CYLINDER #3. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,900.

I OWN FORD ESCAPE 2014 SE. I WAS AT MY FORD/LINCOLN DEALERSHIP FOR 6-MONTH MAINTENANCE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL LUG NUTS OF MY VEHICLE ARE SWOLLEN ARE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $240 + TAXES. THEY TOLD ME THAT I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE AS THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT TIRES BACK. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND TRUSTED THE DEALERSHIP. FRANKLY, I COULD NOT VISUALIZE THE PROBLEM. UPON RETURN, I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT HIGH-QUALITY REPLACEMENT LUG NUTS ON AMAZON ARE $20- $40 (A PACK OF 20). APPARENTLY, INSTEAD OF SOLID STEEL NUTS, FORD SELLS ITS VEHICLES WITH LUG NUTS THAT HAVE A STEEL CORE WITH CHROME, ALUMINUM, OR STAINLESS STEEL CAPS ATTACHED TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE VISIBLE PART OF THE LUG NUTS. THE CAPS SWELL, CRACK, AND DELAMINATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE LUG NUTS CANNOT BE REMOVED WITH THE LUG WRENCH PROVIDED BY FORD. THIS LEAVES OWNERS AND LESSEES WHO GET FLAT TIRES OFTEN STRANDED ON THE ROADS WITHOUT THE ABILITY FOR EVEN TOW TRUCK DRIVERS TO REMOVE THE SWOLLEN LUG NUTS. THIS MEANS A TOW TO THE SHOP JUST TO HAVE THE LUG NUTS REMOVED AND THE TIRE REPLACED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, WITH NO LUCK SUCCEEDING, BUT WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH THE DEALER AND FILING A COMPLAINT WITH MY CREDIT CARD PROVIDER IF NOT SUCCESSFUL. THERE WAS A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS DISMISSED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT "ENOUGH" AND THE ISSUE WAS DISMISSED. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. I'M LITERALLY WAITING FOR IT TO DROP DEAD. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE HARD SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. THIS OCCURS NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT GOES TOO. THE POWER ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO GIVE UP AND ROCKS THE CAR BACK AND FORTH WHILE ACCELERATING AND SHIFTING GEARS. SOMETIMES THE SHIFT DOESN'T EVEN OCCUR. MOVE THE PRNDL LEVER TOO FAST FROM ANY SETTING, THE CAR MAKES A LOUD JERKING NOISE. ALSO WHEN PARKING ON ANY HILL WITH THE E-BRAKE ON, THE CAR MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE SOUNDING LIKE THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO GIVEAWAY AND THE CAR MOVES. ITS BARELY NOTICEABLE, BUT I SAT IN THE CAR TO TEST IT , AND WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR YOU COULD TOTALLY TELL IT MOVED. IT DOES THIS 3 TIMES MINIMUM WHEN PARKED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINK BUSHING WORE OUT MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES FORD DEALERSHIP IN FORD MOTOR COMPANY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS THERE IS NO RECALL. WHEN I SEARCH THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SITE I AM COMPLAINING ON RIGHT NOW, I SEE NO RECALL ABOUT IT YET IT'S THE SAME EXACT RECALL ON OTHER 2014 FORD ESCAPES THE MINUTE I PUT MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SAYS THAT I'M GOOD TO GO AND SAYS 0 UN REPAIRED RECALLS BUT THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WHY AREN'T THEY FIXING IT FOR FREE WHY IS THERE NO RECALL. I STOPPED PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SO IT WAS STOPPED WENT IN THE STORE CAME OUT AND SHIFTER WAS STUCK. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE IT COULD HAVE HAD EXTREME COST OF TOWING TO THE DEALER ( FORD). THEY ALERTED ME NO BUSHING REPLACEMENT, NO RECALL AND ONLY THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFTER CABLE 4.5 HOUR JOB $61.00 PART! HOW MANY OTHER SENIORS WERE TREATED THIS WAY OVER A $2.00 PART AND TEN TO 15 MINUTE INSTALL! I USED TO BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! FORGIVE ME IF I WENT LONG! *TR

THE CONTACT CALLED BEACH FORD LOCATED AT 2717 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452 (757)486-2718) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE CONTACT ALSO CALLED THE CAVALIER FORD 1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757-424-6640) AND WAS PROVIDED SIMILAR INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT A TRAILER, THE WIRING HARNESSES FAILED TO SYNC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (GARY SMITH FORD INC 1 BEAL PKWY NW, FORT WALTON BEACH, FL 32548) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESSES WERE INCOMPATIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WENT OUT OF GEAR, THE ENGINE REVVED, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. TOW REQUIRED FOR REPAIR. (OUR 2018, WHICH HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION, WAS IN THE SHOP HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE 2014 FAILURE!!! THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER!) *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND NOTICED A WHINING NOISE THAT CORRESPONDED WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE CAME TO THE NEXT STOP LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ESCAPE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT THE WHINING WAS VERY LOUD AND WOULD ONLY MOVE ABOUT 3-4 MILES PER HOUR. SHE PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WAITED AND STARTED AGAIN. THE ESCAPE DROVE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN SHE FELT IT SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD JUST REV. IT SLIPPED BACK INTO GEAR AND IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL BUT WITH THE CONSTANT WHINING SOUND. SHE HAD TO STOP AGAIN. SHE CALLED A MECHANIC WHO CAME AND LISTENED AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT WHICH WAS OBVIOUS AT THAT TIME. THERE WERE NO SERVICE MESSAGES ON THE DASH, NO LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH TO INDICATE LOW FLUID LEVELS. WE HAVE SERVICED OUR VEHICLE REGULARLY FOLLOWING THE OWNERS MANUAL RECOMMENDATIONS. THE TRANSMISSION INFORMATION ONLY SAYS TO CHECK FLUID LEVELS AT EVERY OIL CHANGE AND CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT 150,000 MILES ACCORDING TO THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS 101,900 MILES AND WE STILL OWE ON OUR LOAN. WE PURCHASED IT FROM A FORD DEALER IN FEB. 2017. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING AT RANDOM FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THESE LEMONS!! *TR

WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, IT ONLY HAD 83,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOCAL DEALER SHIP CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MINE, PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT AND FIX THIS MAJOR ISSUE . I'VE BEEN A FORD OWNER FOR YEARS. *TR

Unrepaired door recall/door won’t open from inside

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: THE VEHICLE STARTED AND DRIVEN WITH AN INSUFFICIENT LEVEL OF COOLANT WITHIN THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM, THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND WILL NOT DRIVE. I FILLED THE COOLANT 50/50 RESERVOIR AT LEAST 2X A WEEK, I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP ON 04/15/2020. *TR

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY2014 FORD ESCAPE HESITANTS TO TAKE OFF, WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MILES A HR, THE CAR SHAKES AND REDUCES SPEED ON ITS OWN. THIS IS VERY SCARY, AND I'M AFRAID THIS IS GONNA CAUSE A WRECK AND EVEN DEATH ,IF FORD DOESN'T RECALL THE 2014 FORD ESCAPES THAT ARE AFFECTED WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE AS THE OTHER ESCAPES, MY ESCAPE WAS BUILT IN ANOTHER FORD PLANT AND DIFFERENT PARTS, BUT IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM, THAT THE OTHER ESCAPES ARE HAVING . I HOPE FORD RECALLS THESE ESCAPES, I'VE BEEN A FORD OWNER SINCE 1993 , BUT THIS IS BUT THIS GOT ME RETHINKING MY FORD LOYALTY. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER QUOTED ME $5300 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION BATS HALF OF WHAT THE CARS WORTH SO PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING

DUE TO FAULTY CRACKING COOLANT RESERVIORS THAT I HAVE REPLACED TWICE NOW, PART OF THE MOTOR HAS CRACKED AND NOT ONLY LEAKS OIL, BUT LEAKS COOLANT INTO MY ENGINE, WHERE THE ENGINE BURNS THE COOLANT. SO NOW MY MOTOR IS JUNK. I HAVE HAD NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE BUT MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT FALL UNDER RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES. REASSESSMENTS NEED TO BE MADE. *TR

IN 2017 I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET SEVERAL RECALL ITEMS FIXED AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A COOLANT ISSUE BUT IT'S OKAY TO DRIVE AND JUST MONITOR THE COOLANT. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON AND I WOULD GET A "LOW COOLANT" MESSAGE. DUE TO COVID I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO FILL THE COOLANT THREE TIMES IN ONE MONTH EVENTUALLY LEADING TO WHITE FUMES COMING OUT THE EXHAUST. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION DUE TO "LOW COOLANT" (WHICH WE HAD REFILLED 5 DAYS PRIOR) I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR INTO FORD AND THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AS I PULLED UP SAYING THEY COULD "SMELL IT." SAID I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND IT WAS MOST LIKELY NEEDING TO RESULT IN A NEW ENGINE. IT WAS A COOLANT LEAK THAT COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND BREAKING DOWN, WHICH WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE GUY SAID THIS WAS ABOUT THE 20TH VEHICLE HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE ON BUT SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO COVER IT. SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY FOR 2014 ESCAPES MANUFACTURED AT TWO LOCATIONS. I ASKED WHY THOSE TWO WHEN THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES AND HE HAD NO ANSWERS. LUCKILY I HAD A WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE NEW $8000 ENGINE BUT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE AND A MAJORITY OF THE RENTAL CAR. IT TOOK 8 WEEKS FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE ENGINE SO THE RENTAL WAS NOT CHEAP. *TR

MY 2014 FORD IS LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT INTO MY ENGINE AS WELL AS OIL. WHICH IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DECREASE IN ACCELERATION AND HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL ON CITY STREET. I TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE IT WORST BY NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM CONCERNING A RECALL ON FORD AND REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

THE CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE.THE VEHICLE FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 101, "CONTROL AND DISPLAYS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL STARTED WITH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEGINNING MAY 2014 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED FEB 2014 SO MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED HOWEVER IM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I PAID $100 AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY CAR LIKE LOW TIRE PRESSURE OR MY MILEAGE. *TR

STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD. IT WAS IN MOTION, STARTING A TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT

WHILE COASTING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH MY FORD ESCAPE STOPPED ACCELERATING. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, SIMPLY THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING. ALL FLUID WERE OKAY AND NO OVERHEATING CONDITION WAS PRESENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. THE FORD SEEMED TO GO IN AND OUT OF GEAR. I ENDED UP TOWING THE VEHICLE HOME. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED (NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID). FEW WEEKS LATER, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN (REPLACED THROTTLE BODY) WITH NOT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODE EVER COMING ON. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COLLISION DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. CAR DROVE AGAIN ON AND OFF. TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND THE FORD SEEMS TO BE DRIVING MUCH BETTER, SHIFTING IS STILL NOT SMOOTH.

My car has a bad failure of the head gasket. Coolant leaking into cylinder 3 and 2 and using up my coolant. This has been ongoing despite me having had the recalls done to it for the coolant system. This is a pervasive, prevalent and common issue with these Ecoboost engines. I have spoken with many people who have this same issue. It happens subtly and then gets much worse. Causing overheating and undue wear on the cylinder walls. For the first year of the problem beginning, there were no check engine lights associated with it. But it recently has started throwing cylinder 3 misfire codes as a result of this problem. This has been checked by a mechanic and the dealer refuses to repair or replace the head gasket or engine due to no recall for the head gasket being made, however there is at least one or two service bulletins put out by Ford about it. This is putting me and my family at risk of being stranded on the road somewhere, ancient failure at highway speeds and unreliable equipment to keep us safe.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE STARTED TO OVERHEAT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TROTTER FORD LINCOLN (3801 BOBO RD, PINE BLUFF, AR 71603) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS COOLANT IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V209000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) 2 YEARS AGO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

BACK HATCH LATCH ALERTS 'TRUNK AJAR' WHILE DRIVING, IT REMAINS CLOSED BUT NEVER LOCKS.

1ST ISSUE IS THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY AND WARNING STATES, 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON,' WITH NO CODES THROWN. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WILL START BACK UP AFTER SITTING FOR 5 MINUTES. HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AND ALSO BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES FOR EITHER ISSUE.

WHEN OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR SOMETIMES A NOISE COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT LASTS ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS AND SOUNDS LIKE A RATCHETING NOISE. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK A VIDEO AND SHOWED TO THEM WITH SOUND. ALSO LAST SUMMER IT WAS IN SERVICE FOR A WEEK WITH NO RESULTS. I SAW A POSSIBLE CAUSE ON THE INTERNET WHICH WAS INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE HAD A RECALL PERFORMED RECENTLY 17S09 COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR SYSTEM, BEFORE THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY FINE, I'VE ONLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR DOOR LATCH, THAT WAS BROKEN ( ALSO A RECALL) AND FOR THIS REASON IS WHY MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IT WAS THEN, WHEN THE SERVICE TECH RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR SYSTEM REPLACED PER THE RECALL. SINCE THEN, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE SAME ONGOING COMPLAINT ,THE ENGINE LIGHT RECENTLY CAME UP ALERTING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING, THOU THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY WORK PARKING LOT FOR 10 HRS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND AFTER 2 DAYS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TECH FOUND COOLANT IN MY ENGINE, THEREFORE, MY VEHICLE WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEGAN PERFORMING THE RECALL UPGRADES. THIS IS THE FAULT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR LACKING KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE RECALL COMPONENTS, FAILED TO MITIGATE FUTURE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE. IN MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER OR PROTECT THE CONSUMER FROM THIS LOSS.

THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND AN ERROR CODE APPEARED ON DASH"STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED".THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ONLY MOVE USING EXTREME FORCE RENDERING THE VEHICLE NONE OPERATIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED AND THE CODE DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. AN INTERNET SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH COULD RENDER IT UNSTEERABLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS ME CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE AND GRAND CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS THIS IS HER MAIN MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE REFER TO COMPLAINT NO. 11292425

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!

EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL THE GAS TANK, DURING THE FIRST 1 O 2 MILES OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES EVERY TIME I STOP IT, SUCH AS AT RED LIGHT STOPS. NOTE: IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE SHOULD BE IN SPANISH, PLEASE.

PURCHASED FROM FORD DEALERSHIP WHILE LIVING IN NEW YORK. UNDER THE WARRANTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL LINE WAS REPAIRED IN 2016 (FORD CO), I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING ANY RECALLS FROM FORD COMP. SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AND I HAD TO PAY $2K TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS. I MOVED TO WAXHAW, NC IN 2017. AFTER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING, I CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN LANCASTER, SC (MOVED HERE IN 01/2020). I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE MULTIPLE "RECALLS" ONLY WHEN I CALLED FORD CO IN LANCASTER. I WAS NEVER MAILED ANY RECALLS. THE FORD CO FOUND RECALLS AND I TOOK IT TO THEM ON 3/11/2020. NOTE THAT THEY DID NOT OFFER ME A LOANER CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RECALL WORK . I PICKED IT UP THE SAME DAY AND TWO DAYS LATER, IT OVERHEATED YET AGAIN. I CALLED FORD CO AND SPOKE TO JATOYA AND JAMIE. ON MARCH 17,2020, IT STALLED AND THEN STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO FORD CO AND THEY STATED IT HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT WOULD COST ME $6,700.60 TO REPAIR! THEY REPLACED THE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR AND A LEAK. ON THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL SITE, I DISCOVERED 5 RECALLS. RECALL#'S 17V472000 (7/25/17),15V406000 (6/24/15)-ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT PANEL, 15V005000(1/9/15)-FUEL SYSTEM/GAS DELIVERY,FUEL PUMP), 17V209000(3/27/17)-ENGIINE/ENGINE COOLING), & 14V403000(7/2/14). I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD QUALIFY AS "LEMON LAW" OR AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY I RECEIVED NO NOTICES REGARDING THESE SIGNIFICANT RECALLS. LASTLY, I TRUST THAT YOU WILL RESOLVE THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER, PROVIDE ME WITH A COST FREE LOANER VEHICLE, AND ALLOW ME TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE (CONSIDERING THE COSTS AND INCONVENIENCE INCURRED TO MYSELF AND THE INNATE POSSIBLE INJURIES THAT COULD HAVE OCCURRED DURING THE TIME THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF THESE. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT [XXX] ASAP *DT REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC CONSUMER STATED ANOTHER RECALL WAS CALLED WITHIN THE DOOR LATCHES. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE COOLANT GAUGE INDICATED THAT VEHICLE WAS RUNNING HOT. A WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD INFORMING THE CONTACT TO PULL OVER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SILL-TERHAR MOTORS SERVICE LOCATED AT (150 ALTER ST, BROOMFIELD, CO 80020) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE COOLANT BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AT 83000 MILES WITH NO PREVIOUS ISSUES. I WAS STRANDED UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TURN ON THE HAZARDS TO AVOID BEING HIT.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE BAD AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ONLINE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING BAD SO EARLY THE CAR JUST STARTED NOT CHANGING GEARS THEN IT WOULD DRIVE KEPT DOING THIS TIL I GOT HOME

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE, AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND THE CAR STARTED TO REV UP AND LOOSE POWER UNTIL THE CAR COULDN'T MOVE ANYMORE AND ONLY ROLLED.

IT WON'T GO INTO PARK IT WILL ROLL ON A HILL WITHOUT E BRAKE. WOULD DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN STOP GOING RANDOMLY PUT ME AT RISK SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that initially, the coolant valve had become defective which resulted in her vehicle overheating as indicated by the temperature gauge. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they replaced the coolant valve and coolant tank. Despite the repairs, the failure persisted and the vehicle was taken back to the mechanic where the diagnostic trouble code indicated that the coolant bypass was defective. The contact had the coolant bypass valve replaced and later discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V209000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) which she linked to the failure. Also, the contact stated that while her daughter was at a red light, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact's husband was called to the scene and was able to restart the vehicle. Once home, the vehicle was towed to the same independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective transmission. The transmission was replaced. Additionally, she also stated that her vehicle would fail to start up after filling the vehicle with fuel. After multiple attempts, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove the vehicle back to the independent mechanic where he diagnosed the vehicle with a defective fuel pump. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V005000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact then called both the dealer and the manufacturer and was informed that her vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. Consumer's daughter was sitting at the red light the car shut off, when she turned the car back on she was in drive but the car went into reverse. She almost hit the car behind her. She had to try and shift into drive but was only able to get it into neutral and move the car to the side so the other cars could get past. She had to remain with her foot on the brake because it would not shift into park. My husband had to come and help her. Vehicle was towed and transmission was replaced.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The accelerator pedal was depressed and the RPM revved; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact’s son was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. The contact also owns a Ford Fusion with the same transmission issues.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK WHEN I MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW ON ITS OWN. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE GAS TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD ALMOST REAR ENDING THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME. IT DID THIS ONCE MORE BEFORE I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY CAR COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO NOTIFICATIONS OR WARNINGS THAT POPPED UP. AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT UP THE HILL ON THE NEXT ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND THEN A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED AND FORD SAYS IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER THAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION. I ASKED THEM ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE PART BUT THEY SAID THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PART FAILING. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS PART ON THE INTERNET. MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR IS LISTED AS A CLUNKER ONLINE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ANY MORE GOING THOUGH THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE WE BARELY MADE IT BEFORE TRAFFIC CAME THROUGH. FORD SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. ALMOST ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I READ SAID THE CARS THAT FAILED DUE TO THIS PART WHEN THEY WERE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHEN I TALKED TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ALPHARETTA THEY SAID THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART BUT UNTIL FORD DOES A RECALL THEY CAN'T HELP ME. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE A FAMILY IS KILLED DUE TO FORDS NEGLIGENCE.

WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOWS A LOW COOLANT THAN ENGINE OVERHEAT MESSAGE. IT IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO SHUT DOWN, SPEED RAPIDLY DECREASES AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. I MUST STOP THE CAR, PLACE IT IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES THAN RESTART IT. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 55 AND 65 MPH ON THE MAJOR FREEWAY WHERE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS UP TO 70 MPH, 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. SINCE THE LOSS OF POWER IS IMMEDIATE AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT, I HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE I AM IN CRAWL MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED. COOLANT IS NOT LOW, ENGINE HAD NOT OVERHEATED AND THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE UNTIL 30 SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTS SHUTTING DOWN. HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW AND IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AFTER THE FIRST TIME. MY VEHICLE HAS NO OPEN RECALLS AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS WITH REGARDS TO THE OVERHEAT ISSUE.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the vehicle was jerking occasionally while shifting gears. The failure occurred while driving at various speeds. The failure occurred approximately 10 times within 6 years. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer and was informed that the transmission failed due to a fractured and detached torque converter. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINE AND THEN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AS IT THREW THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR. THEN ROLLED FOR A BIT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

CAR STALLS AFTER STARTING AND DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE. WILL RESTART AND PERFORM OK. USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN THEN PARKED FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME (LIKE RUNNING INTO A STORE) THEN STALLS AFTER DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT MY RPM'S DROPPED AND THE CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE. I HIT THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES AND IT JERKED AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION TO GET GAS, LEFT THE GAS STATION AND WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT THE STOP LIGHT MY RPM'S REVVED UP FOR A SECOND THEN DROPPED. WOULDNT ACCELERATE, NO RPM'S. GOT INTO ANOTHER GAS STATION PARKING LOT PUT TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. AFTER PUTTING THAT IN AND THE CAR BEING OFF, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT TOOK OFF LIKE THERE WAS NO ISSUES. GOT ACROSS THE STREET AND PULLED INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND I LOSS MY RPM'S AGAIN AND NO ACCELERATION. HAD TO CALL A TOW CUZ AFTER THAT THE CAR WOULDNT GO ANYWHERE.

AT 69,000 THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT WORK ANY MORE. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN GEAR. IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, UNTIL IT WOULDN'T MOVE ANY MORE.
