SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING, AND DROVE UP MY STREET AS I NORMALLY DO ON DRY, CLEAR PAVEMENT, HITTING NO BUMPS OR POTHOLES. AS I GOT TO THE STOP SIGN AND PRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND MY 4WD LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING SOUND, AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. I NOW KNOW THIS AS THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 DAYS NOW, EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES IN MY FORD ESCAPE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A CRACKED TONE RING BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THAT IT IS A MINIMUM OF $400.00 TO FIX. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND I AM AMAZED AT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE! AND WITH LOW MILEAGE AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. I AM AT 52,000 ON MY 2007 FORD ESCAPE (WITH THIS BEING 90% HIGHWAY MILES) THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM APPALLED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET!!!! PLEASE HELP US IN ALLOWING A RECALL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IM GOING TO AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED. : ( THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TO ME AND MY BOYS! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE HAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE COOLER. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFTER A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN GOING ON BUT HAVE LOST NEARLY 2 QUARTS OF FLUID. THE FORD DEALERSHIP INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND FORD HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN ON HOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. WHICH BASICALLY INVOLVES REPLACING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 FORD ESCAPE. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL # 07V156000 ( SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTI-LOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE) HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKING ON 2008 6CYL FORD ESCAPE CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO ACT ERRATICALLY VIBRATES AND LURCH FORWARD DUE TO LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. ALSO A FIRE HAZARD AS UNDERCARRIAGE AND RADIATOR HAVE HEAVY DEPOSITS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. CAR HAS ONLY 41,000 MILES AND MAJORITY OF MILEAGE HAS BEEN ON INTERSTATE. CURRENTLY CAR IS IN REPAIR SHOP AWAITING REPLACEMENT PARTS. FROM COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR FORD ESCAPES AND IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY FORD. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ADVISED OF NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL 2008 FORD ESCAPES AND REIMBURSE ALL OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO ABSORB THE REPAIR COSTS DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED 2009 FORD ESCAPE FWD V6 AUTO TRANS AS A VEHICLE TO BE TOWED BEHIND OUR MOTOR HOME. WE WERE ASSURED IT WAS TOWABLE (FORD OWNERS MANUAL & DINGHY TOWING GUIDES PUBLISHED ANNUALLY WITH AUTO MFR'S INPUT). WE HAVE BLOWN 2 TRANSMISSIONS IN PAST 4 MONTHS, AND HAVE MORE THAN FOLLOWED FORD'S GUIDELINES. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL OTHER RVERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED UP TO 4 TRANSMISSION FAILURES - SOME REPORTED BEING FLAGGED DOWN BY OTHER MOTORISTS BECAUSE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CAR WHILE BEING TOWED. THE WIRING HARNESS ON OURS HAS BEEN MELTED BOTH TIMES TRANS FAILURE OCCURRED. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE RELATIVE TOWABILITY. FORD HAS ABUSED US (STRANDED FOR 2+WEEKS NOW WITH NO IDEA WHEN REPAIRS WILL BE COMPLETED) BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICIES. ON THE FIRST TRANS FAILURE THEY JUST TOLD THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION - TOOK 10 DAYS. THIS TIME THEY ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON ORDERING TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, AND OFFERING US NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR OUR INCONVENIENCE AND OUT OF POCKET COSTS (RENTAL CAR, ETC). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OVER THE PAST YEAR, MY VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHAKE, STUTTER, AND HESITATE UPON ACCELERATION. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED AND I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO BE SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP, IT REQUIRED A NEW COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUG. DEPENDING ON WHICH ONE OF 6 FAILED, THE COST FOR REPAIR VARIED GREATLY. I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S NOT WORTH REPLACING ALL 6 AT ONCE, TO WAIT UNTIL EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE SHOWED SIGNS OF HAVING AN ISSUE OR NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THEN, ONE DAY, I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED OF 65 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH PEP OR PICK-UP AS USUAL. AS I WAS EXITING FROM THE LEFT LANE ONTO AN ON-RAMP FOR A TOLL, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. WITH NO WARNING, NO INDICATIONS, NO STUTTERING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, NOTHING - IT JUST DIED. THIS REQUIRED ALL 6 COILS AND PLUGS TO BE REPLACED (INCLUDING THE 3 NEW WITHIN THE PAST YEAR) IN ADDITION TO THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE). I AM TOLD ONE OF THE COILS/PLUGS FAILED, SENT OUT A RADIO FREQUENCY, AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. *TR

WHEELS
I OWN A 2006 FORD ESCAPE XLT . I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE RIMS, NOT THE TIRES. IT SEEMS THAT ON EVERY SINGLE RIM, THE PAINT ON THE RIM IS BUBBLING UP. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BUBBLING ALL IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS.THE PAINT BUBBLING IS FORMING IN THE CENTER OF THE RIM, RIGHT AROUND THE FORD CENTER CAP. UNDER THE BUBBLING, IT APPEARS THAT RUST IS FORMING. THIS IS A 2006 FORD ESCAPE WITH ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS DUE TO THE NY WEATHER. I HAVE CONTACTED MY FORD DEALERSHIP. MY ESCAPE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY EVEN TOOK A LOOK AT THE RIMS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE PAINT IS BUBBLING ON ALL RIMS , ALL IN THE SAME SPOT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THE RIMS. THEREFORE, I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW RIMS FOR MY 2006 FORD ESCAPE, WHICH WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 FORD ESCAPE XLT . FOR THE PAST MONTH OR SO, WHENEVER I TRY TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH GAS, THE GAS PUMP TURNS OFF, PREVENTING ME FROM FUELING UP. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GASOLINE COMPANIES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. EVERYWHERE I GO, THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF ON ME AS IF THE GAS TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE GAS NOZZLE, PLACE IT BACK IN AND IT THEN TURNS OFF AGAIN. HAPPENS OVER AND OVER. TAKES ME APPROX. 15 MINUTES TO FILL UP TANK.I HAVE CONTACTED FORD & THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING & THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR GASOLINE FILL-UP PROBLEMS. YET, IF YOU RESEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME GASOLINE FILL-UP PROBLEM. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
JUNE 2008 I PURCHASED A USED 2008 FORD ESCAPE. THE TIRES ARE THE SAME CONTINENTAL TIRES THAT WERE ON THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE INSIDES OF ALL 4 TIRES ARE WEARING FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE TREAD. SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE "MUD" TIRES/AGGRESSIVE TREAD. WHEN THE NOISE FIRST STARTED NOV.2008 I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A WHEEL BEARING, BUT THOSE CHECKED OUT FINE. IT WASN'T UNTIL JULY 2009 THAT I FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE TIRES MAKING NOISE. I AM GUESSING IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES AS NO MECHANICAL PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE; THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE REAR PASSENGER POWER DOOR LOCK; HOWEVER, THE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK. THE OCCUPANTS WERE UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. PREVIOUSLY WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR WAS AJARED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE DOORS ALSO REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO CLOSE THEM. THE DOOR FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT AND HAVE BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DOOR HANDLE AND LATCH SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST FOR THE THREE DEFECTIVE HANDLES AND LOCK SYSTEM WAS $1,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HAVE 2007 FORD ESCAPE. THE GAS PEDAL STICKS IN COLD WEATHER (40 DEGREES AND LOWER). THE PEDAL IS FINE UPON STARTUP AND FOR A FEW MILES, BUT THEN WITH NO WARNING, IT STICKS TO THE POINT IT CAN NOT BE PRESSED. I WEIGH 250 LBS AND I CAN NOT PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON IT PRESS IT DOWN. NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR, BECAUSE I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, BUT IT IS STILL VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD TO WAVE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME UNTIL BEING ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND RESTART IT TO CLEAR UP THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED IN THE PAST, AND THAT SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A VERY SHORT WHILE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH. MY CAR RAPIDLY DECELERATED AND ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP. THERE WAS NO CRASH, BUT THAT WAS JUST LUCK- HAD I BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. WHAT ULTIMATELY FAILED IS MY POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE ( PCM) ON MY 2005 FORD ESCAPE. TURNS OUT THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE FAILURE I EXPERIENCED; REFER TO FORD'S BULLETIN 09-2-6, WHICH SUPERCEDES 05-11-1. I GOT LUCKY, AS I SAID, BECAUSE I JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN A BREAK IN TRAFFIC, WHICH UP TO THAT POINT HAD BEEN BUMPER TO BUMPER. THE RAPID DECELERATION WAS THE RESULT OF LOSING 3 CYLINDERS, SO IT OCCURRED WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON. RAPID DECELERATION, WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, DUE A PROBLEM WHICH FORD KNEW ABOUT SINCE 2005 (THE YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR) SURE SEEM LIKE A SEVERE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NO NOTICE WAS PROVIDED OF THE FAILURE PRONE SPARK PLUGS WHICH INITIATE THE FAILURES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WE WERE HEADING HOME AFTER GETTING OUR DINNER, APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, I THEN NOTICED THE TRUCK WASN'T STOPPING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN, STILL NOTHING, AGAIN HIT THEM AS HARD AS I COULD, STILL NOTHING, SO I SWERVED TO MISS THE VAN INFRONT OF ME AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF BRAKING ON PAVEMENT OR BRAKING ON THE GRASSY AREA LEADING UP TO THE TELEPHONE POLE. WE HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE, OUR BRAKES WOULD VIBRATE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN APPLIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. MY FIANCE RESULTED IN BRUISES ON HER FACE AND BACK SPASMS. MY ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS ALSO IN THE CAR AND HAD NO INJURIES, HOWEVER, IT TOOK US MONTHS TO GET HER TO BE CALM IN THE CAR. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO BUY A NEW CARSEAT AFTER JUST PURCHASING A FEW MONTHS BEFORE AND I RECEIVED A FAILURE TO CONTROL CITATION. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY PUT MY COMPLAINT INTO FORD LEGAL GROUP. I WAS UPSET BECAUSE NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, HAD I BEEN FIVE MORE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A 55 MPH ZONE. I WAS FURIOUS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE AFTER SWEARING UP AND DOWN THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE SAFEST ON THEIR LOT. WE HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM FORD, WE HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THEM LECTURING US ON THE USAGE OF THE AIRBAGS, HOW THEY ARE MEANT TO PREVENT FATALITIES NOT INJURIES. OUR INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP! THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP FEELS HE'S NO LIABLE BECAUSE WE BOUGHT USED WITH NO WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE FROM SELLING MULTIFUNCTIONAL VEHICLE. WE HAVE FOUGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND LEGAL GROUP. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO HAVE IT INSPECTED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT. BUT HE WANTS US TO PAY FOR IT AND I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD. HAVEN'T WE PAID ENOUGH WILL ALL THE CRAP THIS VEHICLE HAS CAUSED? *TR
