VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
I used to drive my Ford Escape just perfectly and I was happy. I liked it. One day in December 2022, I drove my car normally and perfectly during the day. Then, after work, I went to do my shopping. After I finished shopping, I drove my car again. I changed the cruise control settings. After less than a mile, I was tuning left at low and normal speed less than 10MPH. Suddenly, I found the car accelerated on its own and I lost the control of the wheel. I did not feel the pedals under my feet, no resistance. Every thing was out of my control. Then, the car hit a tree. Fortunately, no injury, I had a pain lasted for weeks, but no injury. There are huge smokes, but no fire. The car was declared as a total loss, and I lost a lot of money. After that I was curious what happened to me. I found complaints about Ford Escape, in which the drivers stating the same experience as mine. The accelerated on its own after adjusting the cruise control. That’s inspired me to complain and warn other driver about the safety of this car. I don’t know the main reason the car accelerated, but I hope it will be investigated. However, I found that Ford has a recall in the last week of November (a week before my accident) related to fuel injection. I searched again and I found that the problems on car’s computer, fuel injector or ECU could lead to uncontrolled amount of fuel passing to the engine and may cause acceleration or burn. I am very lucky that the acceleration didn’t hit people or the car burnt from speed and heat. Again, I don’t know what happened, but I hope it will be investigated to safe lives of others. Photos can be supported upon request. The car is now with the insurance company.

SERVICE BRAKES
There is an issue with the brakes and brake dust covers the wheel. The brakes have been squealing when pressed since the vehicle was leased. Each time I inquired at the dealership I was told it was because the brakes were new. Since they brakes continued to squeal after months, I asked service to look at them for me. They did, and said everything looked fine. As of now the front driver side wheel is completely covered in a black substance. Possibly brake dust and the brakes still squeal. I am concerned about the safety of my brakes. I took photos and sent them to my dealership today. This has been on ongoing problem since day one.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Service engine soon light came on, and the car was very slow to get up to speed and it would no exceed 15MPH. Took it to the dealership and it was initially discussed as a crankshaft sensors that needed cleaning but while cleaning it they notices metal pieces in the oil. I was "recommended" an oil change that I had to pay out of pocket. and that did not solve the issue. Took the car back to the dealer and as of right now they are looking into replacing the engine entirely. Sill no ETA
