LOWER CONTROL ARM RIPPED OFF UNDER CRADLE & RIPPED PASSENGER SIDE DRIVE SHAFT OFF THE TRANSMISSION - THE WHEEL FELL OFF THE CAR. IT APPEARS UNDER CRADLE RUSTED FROM INSIDE. I SHUDDER AT THE THOUGHT OF THAT HAPPENING WHEN MY WIFE WAS ON THE FREEWAY, INSTEAD OF COMING TO A STOP. THIS VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN THE GARAGE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY - CODE P2111 DISPLAYED - ACTION NUMBER PE13003 CAR LOST TRANSMISSION POWER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED OUT ON ROUTE 1 SOUTH. THE ISSUE BEGAN AT THE TOP OF THE MORRIS GOODKIND BRIDGE , AS THE INCIDENT OCCURRED I NOTICED THE WRENCH ICON IN THE LOWER LEFT OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE TRAVELING AT THE AVERAGE PACE OF TRAFFIC, I MANAGED TO GET TO THE CENTER LANE ONCE I REALIZED THE ISSUE AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP [ ENGINE WOULD REV BUT NO POWER WOULD TRANSFER TO TRANSMISSION] NEAR THE DANGEROUS EXIT RAMP FOR ROUTE 18 N AND S. LUCKILY NO ONE BEHIND ME WERE INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. I TURNED PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE THE CAR SEEMED TO BE WORKING AGAIN. I GOT PAST THE RT. 18 RAMP AND GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE I MADE IT ABOUT 1.5 MILES NEAR RUTGERS COOK COLLEGE WHERE THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I GOT ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE AGAIN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN I DROVE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES BEFORE LEAVING IT PARKED UNTIL TUESDAY MAY 14TH WHEN MY WIFE AND I COULD DROP IT OFF AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, MALOUF FORD IN NORTH BRUNSWICK NJ. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN , THE CHECK ENGINE LAMP OR THE WRENCH ICON DO NOT DISPLAY UNTIL THIS PART FAILS. UNEXPECTEDLY LOSING POWER AND STOPPING ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST MOST TRAVELED PORTION OF ROUTE 1 IS SCARY. I AM GLAD THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND MY PREGNANT WIFE WERE NOT INJURED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IN ADDITION COUNTLESS OTHER MOTORISTS WERE PUT AT RISK DUE TO THIS PART FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. ******I HAVE ALL RECIEPTS AND DOCUMENTATION IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WITHOUT WARNING MY 2006 FORD ESCAPE LOST MOMENTUM. THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME COULD NOT REALIZE MY CAR WAS STOPPING BECAUSE I WAS STILL USING MY GAS AND NOT THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A CENTER TURNING LANE THAT I WAS ABLE TO USE AND AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION. LONG NIGHT TURNED INTO A LONG WEEK AND A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FOR $3,220.70. MY FORD ESCAPE HAS 52,214 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST TOLD ME THAT THE BEARINGS FAILED AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKED LIKE SILVER PAINT. SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS (MAZDA) TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, CAR DE-ACCELERATED, IDLE WAS VERY ROUGH, DESPITE PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR UNABLE TO MAKE CAR ADVANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNSAFE. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNING IT OFF, THE CAR SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF. OUR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR CO. REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS IT CAME OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I FEEL LIKE I COULD GET KILLED IN THIS CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DIED AND THERE WAS NO POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THE VEHICLE STARTED UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR: MAY 2012, SEPT. 2013, MARCH 2013, AND AGAIN ON MAY 15 2013. EACH TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE,I DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. READ THAT REPLACING THE THROTTLE MIGHT HELP. IS THERE A RECALL OR WHAT SHOULD I DO? *TR

POWER TRAIN
WIFE PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. FIRST ATTEMPT TO RESTART VEHICLE FAILED, SECOND ATTEMPT, VEHICLE STARTED AND WRENCH SYMBOL ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES UNTIL SHE ARRIVED AT WORK. SHE HAS ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT SURGING FORWARD WHILE DRIVING AND TRANSMISSION BANGING INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE RPMS HAVE BEEN SURGING SPORADICALLY WHEN CRANKING THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD DEALER ON FRIDAY, 17 MAY 2013, RECEIVED A CALL FROM SERVICE REP. SAYING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT HOWEVER, PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THEY ARE SEARCHING NATIONWIDE FOR THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE RETURNING THE VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PART IS FOUND DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF HER HAVING A ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, UNTIL THEN, WE ARE OUT A VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE MAGIC NUMBER FOR NTHSB TO FORCE FORD INTO ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ??????? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS DRIVING, MY VEHICLE WITH NO WARNING LOST POWER. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT ROUGHLY. I COULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, BUT IT NO LONGER CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. AFTER WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVE, I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE STARTED FINE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THOUGHT THE THROTTLE BOX MAY BE GUNKED UP. I PAID TO HAVE IT CLEANED OUT AND FOR A GAS ADDITIVE TO DECREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, MY ESCAPE STALLED AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY AND WITH THE SAME RESULTS. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW SINCE MAY 2ND. I REALIZE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY IN FORD ESCAPES INCLUDING THE 2011 MODEL. WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE SITUATIONS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE IN CURB LANES AND ABLE TO MANEUVER SAFELY OFF THE ROAD EACH OF THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. IF I HAPPEN TO BE IN A CENTER HIGHWAY LANE WHEN IT HAPPENS, I MAY NOT BE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESTART MY VEHICLE SAFELY. *TR

I COASTED TO A STOPLIGHT, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL ACCELERATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
HAD POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE RE-CALIBRATED, RE-PROGRAMMED PCM, ABS MODULE CONNECTOR REPAIR AND INSPECTION, ABS RELAY INSTALLATION AND MASTER CYLINDER CAP REPLACED, ALL RE-CALLS. FIND OUT HCU HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IS FAILING WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN RESULT IN BRAKES FAILING AND POSSIBLE DEATH FROM LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENT. THANK GOD THIS HASN'T HAPPENED BUT FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FIX THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A RED LIGHT, WITH PEDAL COMPLETELY ENGAGED. HAD CONTINUED LOSS POWER/THRUST WHEN I PUSH THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN NOW, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AS I NEVER KNOW IF I'LL BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. SUNDAY AFTER FINALLY GETTING HOME, I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO STAY CRANKED WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO REVERSE. THIS LOSS OF POWER WAS EXUBERATED BY HAVING THE A/C RUNNING. FIRST THE TIMING COVER LEAKS AT 22, 761, THEN A PULLEY FALLS OFF THE ENGINE AT 40,149 SPRAYING OIL ALL OVER MY INTERIOR VIA THE A/C. AFTER THE PULLEY WAS REPLACED THE CAR WOULD IDLE HIGH AND THEN STARTED JERKING AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL, TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO CODES, FINALLY HAD THE TECH DRIVE WITH ME AND HE FELT THE JERKING. AFTER THREE VISITS FOR THIS, IN NOVEMBER 2012 AT 50,000 I WAS AM TOLD THE COIL PACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOW AT 55, 063 MILES I AM TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED? I THINK I WAS SOLD A LEMON AND IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT'S ILLEGAL. WHAT IF I AM REAR ENDED DUE TO THE HORRIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF YOUR PRODUCT?

ENGINE
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON MAY 7, DROVE 10 MILES AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. ON MAY 11, I NOTED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL UNDER THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FOLLOWING WAS NOTED: OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS TIMING PEG PLUG MISSING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE BLOCK. THE RIGHT HALF AXLE SHAFT AND BEARING BRACKET WERE REMOVED, THE PLUG HOLE WAS CLEANED AND THREADS TAPPED USING M10 X 1.5 TAP. INSTALLED NEW TIMING PLUG TIGHTENED TO SPEC. NEW OIL AND FILTER INSTALLED. THE ORIGIN OF THE LEAK COULD NOT BE SEEN BY OWNER VISUAL INSPECTION. EITHER THE PLUG WAS NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY OR IT WAS NOT TIGHTENED AND FELL OUT. EITHER WAY, HAD IT NOT BEEN NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALLY LOST INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF ENGINE DAMAGE. FURTHER OIL COVERED THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE GOTTEN ON TO BRAKES COMPROMISING SAFETY. NOT SURE IF THERE WAS POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE FIRE. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, AIR BAGS, STEERING, STRUCTURE
AT 2700 MILES THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO GO ON AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR A CHECK ON AIRBAG PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY FIXED, HOWEVER ONE WEEK LATER HAD TO RETURN VEHICLE TO DEALER DUE TO AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN GOING ON. PROBLEM SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY TIGHTENING LOOSE WIRRE CABLES IN CABLE HARNESS BUT ONE MONTH LATER RETURNED VEHICLE AGAIN AS AIR BAG WARNING WAS AGAIN COMING ON AND THERE WAS CONCERN AS WE DIDN'T KNOW IF AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IF NEEDED OR WORSE MAY DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. ADVISED THAT CAUSE WAS EXCESSIVE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE IN WIRE CABLE HARNESS AND DEFECTIVE SENSORS.SINCE THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN NO FURTHER PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG READINESS WARNING. IN FALL OF 2012 A NEW PROBLEM STARTED WHICH AT FIRST I THOUGHT MIGHT BE DUE TO LEAVING PARKING BRAKE PARTIALLY ON. STEERING AT 40 MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND CENTER CONSOLE WARNING LIGHTS AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD, STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN IN APRIL 2013 WITH VEHICLE STILL UNDER 10,000 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND PROBLEM SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. DROVE ABOUT 6 TO 8 MILES AND PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WITH WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON AND DIFFICULT TO STEER AT FREEWAY SPEED. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND PICKED UP TWO DAYS LATER WITH PROBLEM SUPPOSEDLY CURED. 4 DAYS LATER ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AGAIN AND STEERING AS BEFORE WAS DIFFICULT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AS ALL AGREED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.AFTER A WEEK OF TESTING AND WORK VEHICLE WAS READY . WAS ADVISED THAT PROBLEM WAS LOOSE WIRES IN CABLE HARNESS AND FAULTY SENSORS. I HAVE NOW BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 WEEKS WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS BUT AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT I MAY HAVE PURCHASED A DEFECTIVE AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. WHAT PROTECTION DO WE HAVE? *TR

WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM STANDING STILL. WHEN IT DOES KICK IN THE CAR JUMPS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, FORD HAS STATED THAT IT IS BASED ON VIN AND MARCH - APRIL OF 2004 WAS A PROBLEM BUT JUNE 04 (MY MAN DATE?) WAS NOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AFTER I GOT THE CAR. IT APPEARS TO BE A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO GO IN ONCE A MONTH TO HAVE IT CLEANED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 4 (FLORIDA) LOST ALL ACCELERATION OF ESCAPE WHILE DRIVING MIDDLE LANE (70 MPH). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID FOR IT TO GET FIXED (THEY SAID IT WAS A BATTERY CABLE) . I HAD TWO CARS SWERVE TO MISS ME AS THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OVER TO SHOULDER. I CONTACTED FORD VIA EMAIL AND RECEIVED EMAILS BACK INDICATING (AND I HAVE THEM ON FILE) THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR NOTICE OF THIS KIND OF ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES WILL ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY I LOST POWER, THE RPM'S DROPPED TO 1500-2000. I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO DIE, THE RPM'S WERE FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 1000-2000. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN, SEEMED FINE. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, IT WAS OK FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN TRIED DRIVING IT, THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND IT SEEMED FINE. WORKED GREAT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC HE SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE TRIED TO ORDER THE PART FROM FORD, BUT HE WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS BEING RE-MANUFACTURED AND MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME WAS BY DRIVING 20 MPH WITH MY FLASHERS ON. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE THE PART IT NEEDS HASN'T BEEN MANUFACTURED YET. LOVE MY CAR, BUT THIS REALLY SUCKS! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *TR
