THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL BODY AND FRAME HAS TOTALLY RUSTED AWAY LEAVING NO ANCHOR FOR THE SHOCK ABSORBER AND RENDERING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES). THIS DEFECT OCCURRED DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING GARAGE KEPT, WELL MAINTAINED AND MAINTAINED ONLY BY A LICENSED FORD DEALERSHIP. HIGHLAND PARK FORD AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWINGLY AND/OR NEGLIGENTLY CONCEALED A KNOWN, MAJOR DEFECT FROM THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO AS TO AVOID HAVING TO REPAIR THE PRODUCT PER FORD'S EXPRESS WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED THE THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY CAN BECOME STUCK AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE ALL THROTTLE AND SPEED CONTROL. PROBLEM WILL PRESENT ITSELF AS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AS SHIFTING THROUGH ALL THE GEARS WILL NOT CLEAR THE PROBLEM, UNTIL ENGINE IS POWERED DOWN AND RESTARTED. THIS IS A CLEAR AND EVIDENT PROBLEM THAT APPEARS AT OR AROUND 75,000 MILES. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY MODEL THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED IN MOST ESCAPE MODEL VEHICLES. REGULAR ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT DISPLAY AN ERROR CODE UNLESS THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO THE CAR AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT AND WARNING LIGHT IS ON. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS TRANSMISSION CENTER SUPPORT DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 14.5 MONTHS AFTER I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD ABOUT 9,330 MILES ON IT. IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT JERKED FORWARD BEFORE SPEED WAS REDUCED AND FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO HAVE "TRANSMISSION CENTER SUPPORT DAMAGE" - CERTAINLY NOT CONFIDENT THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE 20,000 MILES. *TR

SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
DRIVING MY FORD ESCAPE 2005, 35MPH, HEARD A THUMP/BANG THEN VERY LOUD RATTLING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. ARRIVED HOME, FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK, SHOCK MOUNT, AND A DINNER-PLATE-SIZED CHUNK OF WHEEL WELL HAD PUNCHED UP INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. OPENED THE LIFTGATE, SAW THE SHOCK MOUNT FLOPPING AROUND INSIDE THE CAR AND A DANGLING CLUSTER OF WIRES THAT HAD BEEN SHREDDED BY THE JAGGED METAL. ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR COMPARTMENT HAD BEEN SHOVED UP 10CM. HUSBAND WAS SHOCKED, SURE I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING, BUT I HAD NOT. RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT UNDERNEATH THE UNDERCOATING. COULD NOT SEE THE RUST FROM THE OUTSIDE, SO DID NOT KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING. CHECKED LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL, SAW NO RUST, BUT UNDERCOATING LIFTS RIGHT OFF TO REVEAL TERRIBLE RUST UNDERNEATH AS WELL. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, NO SHOCK, WATER AND ROAD DEBRIS WOULD FLY RIGHT UP INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE HUGE HOLE. THIS KIND OF DAMAGE IS INCREDIBLE. ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR FROM DEALERSHIP (BRONDES FORD, TOLEDO) WAS $5752.34. CERTAINLY CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR REPAIR ALTERNATIVES AND FOUND DOZENS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF DAMAGE TO THE SAME VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL. REPORTED THE DAMAGE TO FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP HOTLINE, WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON, FREQUENT, OR WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT CONSIDER IT A DEFECT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY CHILDREN WERE AFRAID WE WERE GOING CRASH. EASILY COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE TURNING A CORNER, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. I AM CERTAIN, HOWEVER, THAT ONCE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REALIZES THE POTENTIAL HARM THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE TO LIFE AND PROPERTY, THEY WILL BE DETERMINED TO DO RIGHT BY THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, DROVE CAR HOME AND CALLED SERVICING DEALERSHIP FOR APPOINTMENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON US 441. OUR CAR STALLED ON THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN CHEROKEE, N.C. AND GATLINBURG, TENN. WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND WERE ABLE TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE FOR A FEW MILES BEFORE THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS STOP AND GO OCCURRED ABOUT 7 TIMES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO SEVIERVILLE, TENN TO GET IT REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE ARE FEW PLACES TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, SO IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AND OTHER CARS TO STOP AS WE DID. THE DEALER TOLD US THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN CALLING MY LOCAL DEALER TO GET MY RECALLED CAR FIXED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THE DEALER HAS THE NECESSARY PART IN STOCK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER ( A TEACHER) WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON I94 TO WORK IN 2010 WITH THE SPEED CONTROL SET. THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED AND SHE HIT THE BRAKE, BUT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK AND SHE COULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AS IT OVER-POWERED THE BRAKE. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND CALLED 911. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD HER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF AFTER SHE GOT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. SHE WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY NO ONE WAS AHEAD OF HER ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED STUCK AFTER SHE HAD PULLED OFF THE ROAD WITH THE MOTOR OFF. I WENT TO GET HER AND THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR BY HITTING IT HARD WITH MY FOOT. I CAREFULLY DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE ACCELERATOR STICKING ON THE EXPRESSWAY SEVERAL TIMES. I REPORTED THIS TO FORD (DEARBORN) AND TOLD THEM THEY HAD A PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, AND SUGGESTED I PAY A DEALER TO FIX IT. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT USING THE SPEED CONTROL AND BEING VERY CAREFUL TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY (AS MY DAUGHTER STILL HAS MY VEHICLE). BUT, NOW I WILL TAKE IT A DEALER AND FORD (THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE VEHICLE SAFETY LAW) WILL PAY TO FIX IT! *TR
