FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP WITH A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. WE STOPPED IN BARSTOW, CA FOR LUNCH. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED JUMPING THE PARKING BLOCK AND THE CURB. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING INTO THE BUILDING BUT NOT BEFORE HITTING SOME NEWSPAPER VENDING MACHINES. THE FRONT BUMPER SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF WERE PRETTY SHOOK UP AFTERWARDS. THE PERSON SITTING IN THE CAR NEXT TO US WHO WITNESSED THIS EVENT SAID THAT THERE WAS AN OLDER MAN STANDING RIGHT WHERE WE JUMPED THE CURB A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER. FORTUNATELY, HE HAD LEFT OR THIS INCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I WENT TO ACCELERATE. UPON REACHING 40. I HEARD A SUBSTANTIAL BACKFIRE NOISE, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD CAUSING ME TO BLOCK TRAFFIC AS I COASTED ALMOST INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER COASTING FOR 100+ FEET. AFTER WHICH, THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND RUGGED NEVER BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOUT 30 MPH AND CAUSING MAJOR TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP (VARSITY FORD IN ANN ARBOR, MI) AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY 2005 FORD ESCAPE WAS IN TROUBLE. APPARENTLY, MY SPARK PLUG AFTER BEING CLOGGED, CAUSED A BACKFIRE WHICH BLEW MY IGNITION COILS AND SPARKPLUGS AND MY PCM. I AM BEING QUOTED $2,200. AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE (3 MONTHS AGO) VARSITY FORD TOLD ME I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO NEEDING A TUNE UP BUT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY THAT DAY AND THAT I COULD WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I WAS PLANNING ON GOING THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE I WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN. HAD I BEEN TOLD THE RISK WAS A $400 TUNE UP VS. A $2,200 BLOWN ENGINE, MAYBE I WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. I'M VERY DISTRAUGHT AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND NOW AM QUESTIONING WHETHER I WILL EVER BUY A FORD OR WORK WITH A FORD DEALERSHIP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CAR SHOOK AND DIED. I PULLED INTO THE TURN LANE AND SOME HELPFUL PEOPLE ASSISTED ME IN PUSHING MY CAR TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY ENGINE COILS AND PLUGS REPLACED AND THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT A BULLETIN EXPLAINING THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THEY FIXED THAT, I LEARNED THAT I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE COMPUTER REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE COILS AND PLUGS CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND MANY WEBSITES AND FORUMS EXPLAINING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN OTHER 2005 FORD ESCAPES. IT SEEMS THAT IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM (ENOUGH FOR FORD TO PUT OUT A BULLETIN EXPLAINING HOW TO FIX IT), THEN FORD SHOULD TAKE STEPS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND, THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT DOES NOT SHOW UP UNTIL WELL AFTER THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER GOOD. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME CAR AND FORD SHOULD DO MORE THAN EXPLAIN HOW TO FIX IT. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS THE CAUSED BY FAULTY MANUFACTURING. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING 80MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, MY 2011 FORD ESCAPE WITH 27000 MILES SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS A WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER OR TO MOVE AROUND TRAFFIC. ALL FUEL ACCELERATION WAS LOST. AS I FINALLY COASTED TO THE SHOULDER, NARROWLY AVOIDING BEING THE CAUSE OF MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT (POWERTRAIN INDICATION) REMAINED OFF AND THE VEHICLE ACTED NORMAL. THERE WAS NOT AN INDICATION BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT OF ANY FAULTY SYSTEMS OR PARTS. THE VEHICLE DID THIS WITHOUT ANY REASON, LEAVING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND RUNNING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS INCIDENT. I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT REASON AND PLACE MY LIFE AND THOSE OF MY PASSENGERS IN HARMS' WAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON FREEWAY, BETWEEN 4PM AND 5PM, 40MPH. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND PRESSING GAS PEDAL RESULTED IN NO FORWARD MOMENTUM OR RESPONSE FROM THE RPM GAUGE. PULLED OVER COASTING, NO FURTHER RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. RESTARTED CAR, PROCEEDED NORMALLY. HAPPENED AGAIN A MONTH LATER, SAME SPEED, SAME TIME OF DAY. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE (THROTTLE BODY) RIGHT AWAY FROM MY DESCRIPTION. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED, NO FURTHER ISSUES. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS VIA THE INTERNET REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. ISSUE WAS REPLICATED IN A NON-RELATED VIDEO: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=6HKMOS9POHU. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN IT IS TURNED ON, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER, THE ACCELERATOR STICKS TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO PUT FULL FORCE TO JAM THE PEDAL DOWN TO TAKE OFF. IF I AM AT A LIGHT AND STOPPED, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I HAVE THE REPAIR SHOP FIX THIS ISSUE TWICE BUT DECIDED TO LODGE A COMPLAINT BASED UPON NEWS REPORTS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER ISSUE WITH THE SUV AND I LOVE MY FORD. I AM NOT SURE THAT HIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH IN THE CITY, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, WHILE IT WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE, THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK, RPM SLOWED TO 500 AND THE CAR COASTED TO A STOP. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT RAN WELL. THE SAME SITUATION AND SEQUENCE OCCURRED 24 HOURS LATER. I TOOK THE CARE TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE COMPUTER REVEALED NO ISSUES. THEY KEPT THE CAR AND WERE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE LOSS OF POWER ON A TEST DRIVE. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO ERROR CODE BUT THEIR READINGS REVEALED ERRATIC READINGS WITH THE MASS AIR SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT BUT TOLD ME THAT THE SENSOR ITSELF DID NOT SEEM OT BE MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEFECT CAUSED A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION. WITHOUT POWER, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE ROAD WAS QUIET AND I COULD COAST FROM THE INSIDE LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, I LIFTED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AS I APPROACHED A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. THE PEDAL STUCK AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED PARTIALLY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY BRAKING. FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND I ESCAPED BEING INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS SINCE STUCK ON OTHER OCCASIONS. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN THE BANK LINE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WAITING TO GET TO THE DRIVE-UP ATM WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKE HARDER TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO MY SERVICE SPECIALIST HE SAID HE CHECKED THE CAR AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS INDICATED. I HAVE A 2009 FORD ESCAPE XLT V-6. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, MY GAS PEDAL SNAPPED FORWARD BY ITSELF AND ACCELERATED MY CAR. THEN SNAPPED BACK AND HIT MY FOOT IN THE POSITION IT WAS ALREADY IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR. (I BOUGHT IT NEW) I IGNORED IT THE FIRST FEW TIMES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS RELATED TO BEING ON CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THIS WAS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. I SAW ON FOX NEWS THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION; AND CALLED FORD TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPAIR MY CAR AND THEY SAID NO. I AM HOPING THEY WILL HAVE A RECALL, BECAUSE I PLAN ON KEEPING THIS CAR FOR AWHILE, AND DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THANKS. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
MY FORD ESCAPE IS A 2009, 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS. ON JULY 12TH, I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN. ONCE TAKEN TO GET DIAGNOSED, I WAS TOLD THE REGULAR CABLE HAD GONE OUT. I HAD IT FIXED AND WAS ON MY WAY. ON JULY 16TH, JUST 4 DAYS AFTER, I WAS PICKING UP DRY CLEANING, I PUT CLOTHES IN THE BACK SEAT, AND ONCE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED, SAME THING HAPPENED, WINDOW SLOWLY SLID DOWN. NO OPENING/CLOSING WINDOWS TO PROVOKE IT. I WAS TOLD ONCE AGAIN IT WAS THE REGULATOR CABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH PROBLEMS EXACTLY THE SAME, WITHIN 4 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. ALL MECHANICS AND SERVICE REPS TOLD ME IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL THAT THE REGULATOR GO OUT ON SUCH A NEW CAR. CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND WAS UNABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. HOW CAN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH NO EXTREME USE OF THE POWER WINDOWS BE CAPABLE OF SUCH PROBLEMS? THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD SHOULD'VE PAID FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS ON ICE-GLAZED WINTER ROADS IN FAIRBANKS, AK, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO PREPARE TO SLOW DOWN. INSTEAD OF DROPPING TO IDLE SPEEDS, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED UP TO 3500-4000 RPM. I SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE AT HIGH-THROTTLE UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT BEHAVED NORMALLY FOR SEVERAL DAYS; BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK INTERMITTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS; AND EVERY TIME, SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT. FORD'S DATABASE SHOWED MY CAR HAD UNDERGONE A RECALL IN 2005 TO FIX A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IN JANUARY 2012, STANLEY FORD IN KENAI, AK 'SUPPOSEDLY' REPLACED THE THROTTLE CABLE AND THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY FOR $572, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, AS BEFORE, UNTIL A SECOND REPAIR IN FEBRUARY 2012 BY SEEKINS FORD IN FAIRBANKS, WHICH REPLACED A PCV AND TUBING, AND DID A COMPLETE TUNE-UP FOR $992. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN NO MORE ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATOR. *TR
