2010 Ford Escape Hybrid 4-DR. w/SAB

After a few minutes of driving, the power steering assist began to fail. First, the "power steering assist fault" notification/error appeared in my message center, and steering became difficult, but the error disappeared after a few seconds and I was then able to steer easily. I parked my car and turned it off. When I turned the car on again about three minutes later, the "power steering assist fault" message appeared at startup and did not disappear. The power steering has not worked since. The error code "power steering assist fault" signifies that the power steering control module cannot determine the driver's steering input. Because the electric power steering system cannot determine what direction the driver is steering, the EPS shuts down. This exact error was the cause of a recall that began May 27, 2014 (see NHTSA campaign # 14V284000) (see also Ford recall # 14S05). The recall states that "vehicles potentially affected are certain 2008-2011 model year Fold Escape & Mercury Mariner vehicles built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant from August 18, 2006, to September 11, 2010." My vehicle meets all of these criteria; my vehicle also has experienced the specific error mentioned in the recall documents. I noticed no other errors or malfunctions with the vehicle at the time. The vehicle is available for inspection as needed. The error has been examined by an individual with knowledge of vehicle error codes and repair. The first EPS system fault occurred while I was actively driving. If the EPS had not briefly restored itself, I would have been stuck in an intersection and blocked the entrance to a large parking lot. Additionally, I had just pulled off of a highway; if the EPS had faulted a minute earlier, I would have been unable to leave the highway and would have been in a more perilous situation.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started shaking abnormally. The contact stated she was safely able to slow the vehicle to approximately 10 MPH and proceed back to her residence. The contact stated that on her way to the residence she noticed that the power steering warning light illuminated, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. The contact called an independent mechanic and informed the mechanic of the failure. The contact was notified of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15E045000 (Suspension) and 14V284000 (Steering). The local dealer was contacted but the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recalls and that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated while parking the vehicle, the power steering fault warning light was illuminated. The contact stated when she returned to start the vehicle, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V284000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The contact attempted to call the manufacturer but was unable to speak to a representative. The failure mileage was approximately 67,500.

The vehicle started making occasional "clunking" sounds upon right hand turns around the 120,000 mile mark as if my tire were falling into a pothole that wasn't there. Had one occurrence where a sharp right hand turn resulted into what I'd call a "locked up" steer or loss of steering control and flashing warning light. It then mysteriously resumed normalcy. At 135,000 during a brake job service, mechanic pointed out that the crossmember has prematurely corroded through along with concerns about the subframe and this car was unfit to drive which may be the reason for the above. I'm reading very similar stories of all the same symptoms that have already resulted in accidents with this car which is forcing me to park this.

My power steering went out on a Sunday while I was miles away from my home. No warning lights or messages came on the dashboard. I did have very limited steering and I was able to get it home. There were recalls by Ford for this particular problem in the year it was made, 2010. My vin # didn't come up for needing a recall. I'm going to take it to a garage to be repaired and I'd like to know what the faulty part is.

In past couple of years, I had power steering loss while driving. I managed to get car off road but very difficult. I paid $2,000 for a new steering column and was told this was a common Ford Escape Issue. Less than 1 year later, I am having same problem again. Steering comes and goes.

The power steering cuts out abruptly causing loss of control. The dashboard begins to flash with warning lights and sounds, however when the power steering comes back on the warning lights and sounds stop. This is a known issue by Ford but the dealer tells me my car is not on the recall list, the existing recall #14S05 does not cover my vehicle and furthermore it let Ford off the hook w/o truly fixing the problem. If you look into it you will find that the "repair" does not work! The NHTSA needs to do something about this as it will cause accidents and possibly lead to injury or death! Please - get serious about holding Ford accountable. This is a SERIOUS problem.

1.2010 Ford Escape Electronic Throttle Body issue investigated by the NHTSA. 2. Hesitations, surges, stalls. Ford has issued a CSP 13N03 with time and mileage limits. This is a safety issue effecting many Ford vehicles and the symptoms may not surface until beyond the CSP 13N03 time limits imposed by Ford, as in my case. These electronic throttle body hesitations, surges and stalls are very dangerous and result in compromised safety for the driver, their passengers and others on the road. I have come very close to a collision on two separate occasions because of this issue. The NHTSA should force Ford to reclassify this issue as a recall with no time nor mileage limits or lift the current program time and mileage limits for people like me who are beyond the time limit who have just recently developed this problem. This is a mechanical defect as well as a safety issue. 3. Problem confirmed by Ford dealership. 4. Dash warnings - check engine light and wrench lights illuminated. In my case, these have gone on and off, vehicle demonstrates hesitations, surges, stalls, then resets itself and the vehicle functions normally. This has happened twice over the last few months. Just recently, the warning lights have stayed illuminated and the symptoms are now constant.

I was driving on the freeway in the second lane from the left cruising around 60-65 MPH when the vehicle started to idle rough and then I lost the ability to accelerate I had to maneuver over to the right-hand shoulder of the freeway with cars flying around me. Even though the engine never stalled, the loss of my ability to accelerate left me a sitting duck in danger of being struck by another vehicle or as a dangerous obstacle for other vehicles who might have gotten in an accident trying to avoid me. It also came to my attention while researching the cause that Ford was aware of the issue and had already recalled certain vin #'s and sent a letter out to others with an extended factory warranty to replace the part, but only once the part failed. NOT SAFE! I previously reported this incident to you in August or September, however I lost my follow up information and don't know what happened with my complaint.

Unknown

I was driving turning right and my steering wheel locked up and I hit a tree I seen my model car has a recall #14s05

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated while his fiancé was driving 55 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump in the middle of the roadway and the steering wheel turned to the left causing the wheels to make a squealing sound. The contact stated that the steering wheel remained off center. The driver had the vehicle towed to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was concerned that the failure was related to the front wheel being misaligned. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Loss of. Power steering while running. And dash. Markers turn off in the highway

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel locked up. The power steering assist fault message was displayed. The contact called the local dealer, but vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V284000 (Steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The subframe is rotted out on the right passenger side which could cause the wheel to fall off while in transit. This is a known problem for the Ford escapes that has not been recalled by Ford. This vehicle is only 11 years old.

Electronic steering assist is intermittently failing causing loss of power steering. Other vehicles of this model and year have been recalled for this failure. My Vin is not included in this recall. Warning light notification comes comes on dash. Power steering is lost. Also steering wheel vibrates when stopped at a traffic light.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving 30 mph while attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel turned right inadvertently then ceased. The contact slammed on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle from going into a ditch. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the steering shaft torque sensor malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer since parts were on back order. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 118,000.

FORD RECALL OF POWER STEERING RESET THE COMPUTER. POWER STEERING STILL FAILED REQUIRING THE SENSOR THAT WAS NOT REPLACED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED WITH THE SAME ERROR CODES AND SYMPTOMS THAT CAUSED THE RECALL. FORD SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED. AT THE TIME THEY FLASHED THE MEMORY ON THE DEVICE INSTEAD OF REPLACING.

WHILE DRIVING MADE RIGHT HAND TURN INTO SERVICE STATION AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY HAD SLOWED FOR TURN AND ALTHOUGH SCARED NO ONE WAS HURT WHEN TOW COMPANY JACKED UP ESCAPE TO TOW IT ONTO FLATBED TRUCK WE SAW THAT FORWARD FRAME HAD RUSTED ALLOWING FRONT OF A ARM TO SEPARATE FROM FRAME CAUSING SUSPENSION TO SEPARATE FROM VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY - THE LIFT GATE TRAPS WATER INSIDE AND HAS CAUSED THE LIFT GATE TO RUST OUT SO BADLY THAT IT HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE THE LIFT GATE LATCH ACTUATOR MOTOR AND ASSEMBLY ON THE LIFT GATE 5 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2010. MY SERVICE DOG HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE LIFT GATE MOTOR BECOMING BROKEN. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE LIFTGATE AND HAD TO TAKE DOWN THE SEATS. IN THE EVENT THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY MY SERVICE ANIMAL WOULD'VE DIED. MY SERVICE ANIMAL IS TOO LARGE TO RIDE UP FRONT AND SHE RIDES IN THE BACK. ON OCCASION WHEN MY LIFT GATE WAS NOT WORKING, I HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO FIX THE RECENT ISSUE WITH THE GATE, THE SHOP THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO HAD TO PRY OPEN THE GATE AND REPLACE THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE LIFT GATE IS REPLACED AND NO LONGER HOLDS WATER. THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FORD ESCAPES. ADDITIONALLY, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ALSO HOLDS A LOT OF WATER. THE MILEAGE INDICATED IS FOR THE MOST RECENT REPAIR, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THIS DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER, AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

FIRST I NOTICE THE CAR JUST DROP GEARS AND NEARLY STOP ON THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY. SECOND TIME I TRIED TO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE AND I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE GARAGE. FORD TOLD ME IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. FORD DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $ 5000 FOR THE JOB. I WINDED UP GOING TO A LEE MYLES THAT CHARGE COST TO $ 4000 FOR THE REPAIRS IT HAD DONE. NOW FEW MONTHS LATER AND THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING UPON START UP AND IDILING. WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR IT FEELS LIKE ITS JERKS SLIGHTLY WHEN GOING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. CHANGED OUT THE AIR FILTER, REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND STILL HAVING PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2010 FORD ESCAPE.

STEERING;AT SLOW SPEEDS AND ESPECIALLY AT IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPS BACK AND FORTH. JITTERY IS HOW I'D DESCRIBE IT. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT FEELS LIKE A LOOSE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THROTTLE BODY; RECALL IS EXPIRED. I PURCHASED THE CAR (SECOND OWNER) ABOUT 2015 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE COUNTY, CA. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OEM THROTTLE BODY FAILED IN 2019, WHICH WAS INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSED AND I REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. NO RECOURSE AT THE PRESENT WITH EITHER ISSUE. BOTH ARE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES KNOWN THROUGHOUT FORD FORUMS AND INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURER.

WHEN I STARTED VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE A LITTLE BIT ON ITS OWN, THEN I TRY TO LEAVE PARKING SPACE AND STEERING WAS REALLY HARD TO MOVE. I TRIED TO DRIVE LIKE THIS BUT IT IS REALLY HARD TO STEER VEHICLE ON THIS CONDITIONS TRYING TO DRIVE ON TRAFFIC HAS BECOME DANGEROUS DUE TO THE LACK OF STEERING, I OPTED TO STOP DRIVING THIS CAR UNTIL I CAN TAKE IT TO THE SHOP.

REAR SUBFRAME IS RUSTED, POTENTIALLY CRACKED CAUSING NOISE AND LOSS OF NORMAL CONTROL WHEN DRIVING.

THE CAR HAS HAD ISSUES STARTING SINCE I BROUGHT IT FROM A USED DEALER LAST SEPTEMBER. OVER TIME IT GOT MORE DIFFICULT TO CRANK. I STARTED CHECKING YOUTUBE TO SEE IF IT WERE JUST ME AND CAME TO LEARN THAT THERE IS A GREAT MULTITUDE OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR FORD ESCAPES. THE LOCKING MECHANISM FROM THE KEY THAT FLIPS THE IGNITION SWITCH IS EITHER TOO WEEK OR IT DOESN'T TURN FAR ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE TO CRANK. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE COVERING FROM MY STEERING WHEEL AND MANUALLY USE THE SPARE KEY AS AN EXTENSION OF THE O E INSIDE THE IGNITION, IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO CRANK. THE SAME PROCESS IS REQUIRED IN TURNING THE CAR OFF. RIGHT NOW IT WORKS, HOWEVER COULD BE A HAZARD WITH ALL OF THE WIRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL EXPOSED. AND WHO IS TO SAY THAT ONE DAY THE VEHICLE WON'T JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH HAVING AN IMAGINARY PHYSICAL CONNECTION?

BATTERY CONSTANTLY DIES IF LEFT UNUSED FOR MORE THAN 2-3 DAYS. NOTHING IS EVER LEFT ON, NO RADIO, NO LIGHTS, NOTHING BUT SOMETHING KEEPS DRAINING THE BATTERY

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. UNABLE TO TURN OR CONTROL VEHICLE

I WAS COMING BACK FROM THE STORE. I STARTED MY CAR UP IT WAS STATIONARY, THEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT POPPED UP. AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO DRIVE 30 MINUTES HOME WITH MY VEHICLE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE.

@12:56PM ON 2/11/2021, MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, ACCELERATION, LIGHTS, PEDAL/GAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. THE TIME REMAINED ON. IT WAS 19* F WITH NO PRECIPITATION ON DRY/PARTLY SNOWY PAVEMENT ON HIGHWAY US31 JUST S OF THE NORTH MUSKEGON/BUSINESS 31 BYPASS. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH AND ADJUSTED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SLOW FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE SHORTLY BEFORE THE SHUTOFF. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THAT IS RELATED, BECAUSE THE TIMING WAS NOT IMMEDIATE. I HAD NOT CHANGED LANES IN MORE THAN A MILE, ALTHOUGH THE ROAD DOES TWIST SLIGHTLY IN THAT LOCATION. I HAD ON AUTOMATIC LIGHTS, DEFROST AND REAR DEFROST, BLUETOOTH AUDIO, AND CRUISE CONTROL. MY TANK WAS JUST BELOW 1/2 FULL OF GAS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BUT IS NOT STORED IN A GARAGE OVERNIGHT. I COASTED TO AN EMERGENCY LANE ON THE PASSING LANE, TURNED THE KEY OFF (OTHER THAN THE TIME, AUDIO, AND BRAKES, NOTHING ELSE WOULD RESPOND.) I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 60 SECONDS, IT STARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM, AND I COULD CONTINUE TO MY VACCINE APPOINTMENT WITH NO DISCERNIBLE SIGNS OF ANY OTHER ISSUE OR ERROR. IT WAS TERRIFYING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) AND ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS) DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD: WHEN BRAKING AT A STOP THE BREAK SKIPS AND STRUGGLES TO BREAK. WHEN TURNING WHILE THE FOOT IS ON THE BREAK IT ALSO SKIPS. WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH PERIODICAL TURNS ON AND OFF. THE BREAK SKIPPING DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR. FAST BREAKING CAN TRIGGER SKIPPING OF THE BREAKS. RAIN ALSO INCREASES THE LIKELINESS OF BREAK SKIPPING AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL STEERING. THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN CHECKS AND ARE NORMAL. FORD ESCAPE 2010. INSTANCES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AT RANDOM SINCE 2018 AT A FREQUENCY OF 3-4 TIMES A WEEK.

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

POWER STEERING STOPPED ON CAR. TURNED CAR ON IN THE MORNING AND GOT A MESSAGE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" ON DASH. WENT TO DRIVE CAR AND POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING.

THIS VECHICAL IS BEING FINANCED THROUGH CENTRAL AUTO SALES OF HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. THIS VECHICAL HAS SERIOUS ISSUES, I CONTACTED CENTRAL AUTO ABOUT MY CAR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT KEPT STALLING ON FREEWAY THAT I WAS BARELY MISSED BY A DIESAL TRUCK HITTING ME. I TOLD THEM IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL POWER TRAIN THAT'S KEEP STALLING. THEY PICKED THE CAR UP KEPT IT FOR 2DAYS DIDN'T FIX IT BUT WANTED TO CHARGE ME $344 FOR REPAIRS THAT WASN'T DONE. GOT CAR BACK IN SAME POSITION AND IT STALLED AGAIN ON ME IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. I HAD TO BUY MY PART AND HAD SOMEONE TO PUT THE THROTTLE BODY ON. NOW IT'S THE STEERING WHEEL IT WON'T TURN PROPERLY IT'S SO HARD TO TURN LIKE IT'S LOCK CAUSE IT MAKE A CLICKING SOUND BEFORE IT COMPLETELY LOCK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY SENT ME A TEXT TOLD ME TO DO WHATEVER I WANT. THIS VECHICAL IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. BUT THEY WANT $210 CAR NOTE PAYMENT FOR A NON FUNCTIONING CAR. I ASKED COULD I TRADE IT BACK IN TO THEM GOT NO REPLY ONLY ABOUT A CAR PAYMENT WHICH I NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT. AND IT ALSO RAINS IN THE CAR YOU CAN HERE THE WATER IN THE DOORS AND THE FLOOR BE SOAKED.

I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A NEARBY PARK, PARKED THE VEHICLE, TOOK MY DOG OUT OF THE BACK, AND CLOSED THE THE REAR LIFTGATE/HATCHBACK IN A NORMAL FASHION. WE WERE JUST WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR WHEN THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. IT WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION WITH FLYING GLASS. THE WHOLE WINDOW BLEW OUT. IT WAS SO EXTREME THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT JUMPED OUT OF THEIR CARS IN ALARM AND CAME OVER TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. NOTHING HAD HIT THE WINDOW. NOTHING WAS TOUCHING THE WINDOW. THE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT EXTREME--COOL AND DAMP BUT NOT COLD. THERE WAS NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR THIS AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE FLYING GLASS. IF IT HAD HAPPENED SECONDS EARLIER I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR MY PET COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED, OR BOTH. I NOTE THAT I HAD PUSHED THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON WHILE DRIVING TO CLEAR UP SOME FOGGING BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS DAMP AND THE BIG DOG WAS BACK THERE, BUT THAT WAS NORMAL USE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED CROWN FORD INC, (420 MERRICK RD, LYNBROOK, NY 11563, (516) 599-0600) TO INFORM THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000.

WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE ELECTRICAL STEERING ASSIST DISENGAGED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND A BEEPING ALARM SOUNDED THREE TIMES. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON ANOTHER OCCASION. AFTER THE SECOND TIME I GOT THE CAR BACK HOME AND PARKED IT UNTIL I COULD DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FOUND THE SAME HAPPENINGS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND MY ESCAPE WAS ONE OF THE RECALL VINS. IN 2014, I TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID WHATEVER WAS REQUIRED AT THAT TIME. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE BEFORE THE RECALL, AND THEY APPARENTLY DID THE REPLACEMENT TO KEEP THE ELECTRICAL ASSIST FROM DISENGAGING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. MY ESCAPE IS AT 191,000 MILES CURRENTLY. FORD SERVICE SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX IT WITHOUT ME COVERING THE COST, AND IF ANOTHER RECALL IS ISSUED, FORD MAY REIMBURSE ME. I BELIEVE ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED AS VEHICLES TODAY ARE DRIVEN MORE MILES THAT 150K. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE STEERING ASSIST DISENGAGES AS NO POWER STEERING IS AVAILABLE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEN THE ASSIST GOES OUT. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AS THE STEERING ASSIST REENGAGED WHILE STILL IN MY TURN. IF IT HAD NOT REENGAGED AT THAT EXACT TIME, NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE VEHICLE IN THE OTHER LANE. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS TURNING INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY.

MY POWER STEERING BROKE DOWN AND MY POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON.I CALLED FORD ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING WAS REPAIRED BACK IN 2014 DUE TO A RECALL.THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THEY REPAIRED IT ONCE. SO IS FORD RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED ONCE BEFORE. THANKS...

POWER STEERING ASSIT FAULT - EXACTLY LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V284000. THE VEHICLE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE SUMMARY MENTIONS BUT FORD MOTOR CO IS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURED DATE IS DURING THIS PERIOD (APRIL 2010) WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER IN EXETER, CA. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED AND CONFIRMED MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT AFTER WORK. I COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. SENSOR SAID POWER STEERING FAULT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE AND WENT TO TURN A CORNER AND HEARD A BEEPING CHIME AND THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO TURN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP AND HAD PROBLEMS TURNING OUT OF THE SPOT THEN IT WAS FINE. I DROVE IT HOME AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED CHIMING AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. IT WON'T TURN OR ANYTHING. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE 2010 ESCAPES AND THERE WAS A RECALL OUT ON IT. I CALLED FORD AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL. I TOOK IT TO MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S COSTING ME $1,753.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STARTED TO HESITATE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, AND LEFT ME WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE... I WAS A SITTING DUCK, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF OR HURTING ANYONE ELSE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I REALIZE THAT FORD HAD RECALLED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF 2010 FORD ESCAPES AS WELL AS 2010 FORD FUSION FOR THE THROTTLEBODY TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO BACK IN JANUARY 2014 SENT OUT A LETTER TO FORD OWNERS STATING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE YOUR ESCAPE'S THROTTLE BODY COULD GO OUT; AND EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT THAT WOULD FEEL LIKE AND WHAT THEY COULD EXPECT IF IT WAS TO GO OUT. WHY WE RECALL SOME AND NOT RECALL ALL; WHY WAIT TILL THERE IS A PROBLEM UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

CANNOT START VEHICLE! PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. KEY WILL NOT TURN FORWARD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE STARTER. PROBLEM STARTED YEARS AGO AND NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO THIS POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT START AT ALL USING THE IGNITION. THANKS!

RE: VIN [XXX] 2010 FORD ESCAPE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 14S05/NHTSARECALL 14V-284 THE POWER STEERING FAILED MAKING THE VEHICLEVIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE ON 7/20/20. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LARRY MILLER FORD LINCOLN DRAPER, 11442 S LONEPEAKPARKWAY, DRAPER,UT 84020 ON 7/21/20. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CURRENT RECALL ON THISVEHICLE AND THAT THE PART #CL8Z*3F818*A TORQUE STEERING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS QUICK TO REJECT REPAIR FOR RECALLS OR WARRANTIES AS IT IS A DIRECT EXPENSE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THEY SAID MY RECOURSE WAS TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHICH I DID AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CONTACT FORD MOTOR THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO RECALL WOULD BE HONORED AS THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED IN 2014 WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND ONLY THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. THE ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS AT LARRY MILLER FORD LINCOLN DRAPER WAS $922.97, WHICH, AS A SINGLE WOMAN, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A REPAIR SHOP REPLACE THE SENSOR. LASTLY, AS I AM DIFFICULT TO REACH DURING THE DAY SO PLEASE CONTACT MY FATHER [XXX] AT [XXX]. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. BEST REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE DOWN HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH, HIT BUMP FROM ROAD CONSTRUCTION. SURFACE WAS SLIGHTLY ELEVATED, STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND THEN WAS TILTED APPROXIMATELY 30 DEGREES OFF CENTER TO THE LEFT. LIFTED VEHICLE AND INSPECTED, FOUND K-FRAME ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS ROTTING THROUGH AND HAD PARTIALLY DETACHED. CAUSING ALIGNMENT TO CHANGE. NOT MUCH MATERIAL IS HOLDING IT ON STILL.

I WAS LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE WINDOW AREA OF THE TAILGATE. WHEN THE BRACKET CRACKED, APPEARS TO HAVE CORRODED AND CRACKED.

DRIVING ON MAIN LOCAL ROAD APPX 30 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON, THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED, I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO PARK, SHUT RESTART CAR, CAR SPUTTERED MADE IT TEN FEET AND DIED AGAIN. WENT TO MECHANIC, HE CHECKED ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND RAN THE CODE TEST COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, DRIVING AGAIN APPX 1 WEEK LATER SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. MECHANIC CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. MY CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER, AND HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR AS RECOMMENDED. IF ME AND MY FAMILY SHOULD GET INJURED OR DIE IN THIS CAR OUR BLOOD IS ON FORD.

A VIBRATION SPORADICALLY OCCURS IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN IDLING MOSTLY BUT NOT ONLY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS RELATED TO THE A/C UNIT BUT IT HAPPENS WHETHER ON OR OFF. TEMPERATURES ARE NOT AFFECTED ON GAGES. I BELIEVE THIS WAS WHY THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2018. THE VIBRATION OCCURS WHEN MOVING OR STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENS ITS SEEMS COMPLETELY RANDOM. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOTICEABLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. AT LEAST NOTICEABLY. PROBABLY UNRELATED BUT THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING A LITTLE OFF ABOUT THE ENGINE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT SEEMED A LITTLE LOUDER THAN IT SHOULD BE AND NOT AS SMOOTH I THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SO IT MIGHT BEEN AN ISSUE THE WHOLE TIME BUT BECOMING MORE NOTICEABLE. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT USUALLY HAPPENS FOR 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE BUT HAS LASTED LONGER. ONCE IT WOULDN'T GO AWAY AT ALL UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I TOOK IT INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE NOT AS WELL AS I AM NOW SINCE MORE TIME HAS PASSED AND THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A TROTTLE BODY VALVE ISSUE I READ ABOUT AND THEY SAID NO THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THAT. READING FORUMS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING CONTROL. IT IS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE SO MAYBE IT IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE.

MY FORD ESCAPE HYBRID IS EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE ETB WHICH IS PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE. THIS ISSUE WAS INVESTIGATED ON A NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLES IN 2014 AND FOUND THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY, HOWEVER HYBRID VEHICLES WERE OMITTED FROM THE WARRANTY REPAIR. MY FORD HYBRID IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT OTHER MODELS HAD VERIFIED AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. *TR

ALARM GOES OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN PARKED. REPLACED BATTERIES IN KEY FOBS WITH NO CHANGE. HAD ISSUE INVESTIGATED LAST YEAR BY FORD WITH NO SATISFACTION. WAS OK DURING WINTER BUT NOW IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. HEAT RELATED?

I'VE REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH TWICE, AND NOW HAVING TO REPLACE IGNITION HOUSING. LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS STATIONARY AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THIS MADE ME LATE FOR WORK AND SCHOOL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAHL FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT 561 THEATER RD, ONALASKA, WI 54650, (608) 779-2886, WHERE THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V222000 (POWER TRAIN), HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

STEERING QUIT WHILE DRIVING FORD DENIES THAT THE RECALL 14S05 NOT ONLY THAT I ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2000 FOR FAULTY STEERING ASSEMBLY WHEN THEY KNOW IT?S NOT WORKING. *TR

STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IT IS AN ELECTRONIC STEERING DEVICE THAT IN OTHER VEHICLES PRODUCED OUT OF THE KANSAS CITY PLANT HAVE A RECALL ON HIM BUT APPARENTLY MINE DOES NOT I CANNOT STEER MY VEHICLE IT JUST SHUTS OFF IT'S ELECTRONICALLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE YES IT IS 10 YEARS OLD YES IT HAS OVER 80,000 MILES BUT I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER FORD VEHICLES THAT HAVE WELL OVER 200,000 MILES AND I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THE STEERING OTHER THAN THIS ONE WITH ITS ELECTRONIC STEERING WHICH I DO SEE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR CERTAIN ESCAPES PRODUCED DURING THAT YEAR OUT OF THE KANSAS CITY PLANT AND NOW FORD WANTS ME TO PAY OVER $7000 THAT SHE JUST FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD'VE CORRECTED. *TR

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AS IF THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. STARTED TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME TURNING RIGHT INTO A GAS STATION AND I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WOULDN'T HIT THE GUY COMING OUT SINCE I WAS SO UNPREPARED FOR MY POWER STEERING TO GO OUT! I HAD THE RECALL FIXED YEARS AGO AND SOMEHOW...ITS BACK! I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

THREAD HOLDING SEAT COVER TOGETHER AND SEATBELT DETERATED CAUSE COVERS TO FALL OFF SEAT AND BELT TO DETACH FROM VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. THE DASH DISPLAYED 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I WAS OVER 20 MILES FROM HOME ON A VERY CURVY CANYON ROAD. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE THAT THIS COULD FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE. I SAW THAT SOME FORD ESCAPES HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT MINE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THESE CARS IF THIS IS GOING TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE. I SAW THAT THERE WERE MANY COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER FORD ESCAPE OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE REAR CARGO AREA OF THE VEHICLE, THE HATCH DOOR WAS CLOSED AND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS GLASS ON THE CONTACT AND INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED BY THE SHATTERED GLASS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE FAILURE THAT WAS EXPERIENCED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.

MY CAR HAS AN STEERING ASSIST FAULT , THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO HANDLE , IT WAS GOING ON AN OFF BUT NOW ON MY ODOMETER IT SHOWS THAT IT HAS A STEERING ASSIST FAULT, I TRIED CALLING FORD, BUT NO ANSWER, ALSO I TRIED THE WEBSITE AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IT WOULD SHOW NO RECALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) AS A SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. MATT BOWERS FORD (3724 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD, METAIRIE, LA 70002 (504) 887-8410) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000. *BF*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD, WHICH EXTENDED THE BRAKING DISTANCE. MULLINAX FORD OF MOBILE (7311 AIRPORT BLVD, MOBILE, AL 36608) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,495.

WHILE DRIVING ON COUNTY ROAD (CR475) @ 50 MPH EXPERIENCED DANGEROUS LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMEON. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED CLEARS LIGHTS FOR AWHILE, THEN THEY REAPPEARED WHILE DRIVING. CALLED FORD DEALER (OCALA, FL) TOLD ME ISSUE IS KNOW TO THEM BUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED @ 4 MONTHS PRIOR FOR MY VEHICLE! I PURCHASED AND REGISTERED VEHICLE 12/2015, HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES OF THIS ISSUE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS THROTTLE ACTUATOR FAILURE WAS A DANGEROUS ISSUE SAID I SHOULD REPLACE IT MYSELF "IF I CHOSE TO" AND KEEP RECEIPTS "IN CASE THEY ISSUE A RECAL IN THE FUTURE" FORD DEALER GAVE ME COMPLIANT # CAS26375302.. SPENT $400 TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IF IT OCCURS AT HIGH SPEED OR IN AN INTERSECTION. I GUESS FORD WILL WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT BEFORE ACKNOWLEDGING THE SEVERITY OF THIS THROTTLE MALFUNCTION.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKING VIGOROUSLY WHEN IDLE AND LOW SPEEDS. FULL POWER STEERING LOSS, WITH POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAULT CODE SHOWN.

TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY MY CAR STARTED GIVING A WARNING BEEP, ON CONTROL PANEL IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, HAD NO POWER STEERING, THOUGHT ONCE IT WAS DROVE AND SHUT CAR OFF IT WOULD RESET BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. STILL HAVE NO POWER STEERING, SAW THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE I GOT THE CAR BUT IF THIS GOT FIXED AT THAT TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

IS IT COMMON FOR MY 2010 ESCAPE XLT TO HAVE A EVAP CODE READING HAVING A LARGE LEAK? CODE P0455

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE POWER STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BASIL FORD (1540 WALDEN AVE, BUFFALO, NY 14225) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE REPAIR FAILED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CAR STARTED ACTING FUNNY .MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JUST SHACK BACK N FORTH WHILE DRIVE OR IN PARK. WHEN DRIVING AFTER ABOUT A WEEK MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT COMES ON .IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT THREE DAYS .I GO TO GET IN MY CAR TO LEAVE CRANK UP CAR PUT IT IN DRIVE IN I CAN BARELY TURN LEFT TO RIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING FOR AS LITTLE AS TEN MINUTES AND OTHER TIMES LONGER, MY TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND I WILL START TO FEEL THE TRUCK SLOW UP. THEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE I CAN ONLY GET UP TO 20 MPH. ALSO IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT'LL COME TO A HALT. IT DOES GO OVER 2,500 RPM ON A GOOD DAY. I CANT TAKE OFF FAST EVEN IF I WANTED TO. THE ONLY CODE THAT HAS COME UP WHEN DEALING WITH MY ISSUE IS THE CATALYIC CONVERTER. I HAVE REPLACED MY O2 SENSORS AND GOT A NEW CONVERTER ON BUT STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I EVEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP AND IT HAS NOT. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO REPUTABLE SHOPS AND MECHANIC AND SPENT A TON OF MONEY TRYING TO RESOLVE MY ISSUES. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY AND MY SON'S SAFETY NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL LOSE POWER. I CANT EVEN HOLD A JOB AT THE TIME BEING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK.

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION GETTING WORSE BY DAY SEAT BELTS IN BACK DON'T WORK PROPERLY . SOMETIMES DONT WORK AT ALL BREAKS DONT WORK AFTER CARWASH.

WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A FUEL LEAK AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE RISK FOR OUR 2010 FORD ESCAPE XLT WITH THE LI I4 ENGINE MANUFACTURED AT THE CLAYCOMO, MISSOURI, PLANT. THERE HAS BEEN FUEL ODOR SINCE SEPTEMBER, 2019 UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, IN ADDITION TO THE SMELL OF FUEL, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE, VISIBLE POOL OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE; ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR LEFT TIRE. A PHOTO IS ATTACHED. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2010 FORD ESCAPES FOR A DIFFERENT ENGINE, I WOULD LIKE THE RECALL EXTENDED TO INCLUDED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STEER EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

FRAME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING WHEEL TO BE DETACHED FROM FRAME AND ALSO CONTROL ARM. TOLD NOT TO DRIVE CAR AT ALL UNTIL FRAME IS FIXED. SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED.

MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TODAY STRAIGHT ON A STREET AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE (ONLY BY GODS GRACE SHE WAS SPARED FROM A DEADLY ACCIDENT). I WENT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AT HER HOME AND FOUND OUT THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM WHERE IT IS BOLTED TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER WAS SEVERELY FATIGUED THAT WAS CORRODED BADLY BROKE OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. I THEN RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AFTERWARDS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE OF VEHICLE ABOUT THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I MAY BE SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL FROM TODD TRACY LAW FIRM OF DALLAS TX. FOR THIS POSSIBLY DEADLY AND SEVERE DEFECT THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED FROM FORD AND NHTSA TO CONSUMERS AND IS A HIDDEN TICKING TIME BOMB PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. WHY HAVE YOU NOT NOTIFIED PEOPLE OF THIS ISSUE? I CANNOT BE THE FIRST AND ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

THE OUTLINED RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. DESPITE THIS, THIS PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS. AS POWER STEERING IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS TWITCHING WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IDLING. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS DAYS GO ON.

TO ISSUE A RECALL REQUIRING TO REPLACE THE SUB-FRAME AND REPAIR ANY DAMAGE FROM A BAD FRAME. CONTROL ARM AND OTHER CONNECTING SUSPENSION PARTS WILL SEPARATE FROM FRAME AND OR SUB-FRAME WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS AND OR FATAL INJURIES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ROTTING FRAME/SUB-FRAME AND THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORD ESCAPES HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES TO FORD. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED ASAP AS SERIOUS INJURIES/DEATH WILL RESULT IF NOT ADDRESSED.ALONG WITH FORDS REPUTATION OF DOING THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU

WE'VE HAD THE BRAKES FAIL ONCE BEFORE AND ONCE AGAIN TODAY. WE HIT THE BRAKES ON THHE INTERSTATE AND AFTERWARDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE LAST TIME, WE TOOK IT TO A SERVICE STATION AND THEY COULDNT' FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING ON THE INTERSTATE. I BELIEVE IT'S RELATED TO FSA 19S54 RECALL AND THAT FORD ESCAPES SHOULD BE EVALUATED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WILL SHUT OFF SUDDENLY AFTER A SMALL "CLICK" SOUND AND THE POWER STEERING IS SUDDENLY GONE. THE BATTERY SYMBOL WILL LIGHT UP RANDOMLY. ALL OF THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WILL FAIL WHEN THE STEERING DOES, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE DASH, HEAT/AC, RADIO, HEATED SEATS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES THE CAR WORKS PERFECTLY, OTHER TIMES THE POWER STEERING REFUSES TO REENGAGE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AND REVERSING. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING, IF IT DECIDED TO SHUT OFF IT'S JUST GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING' DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE LOCAL DEALER OLATHE FORD (1845 E. SANTA FE ST. OLATHE, KS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITH 130K+ ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BACK IN 2014 BUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T "BROKEN" IN 2014 THEY CLOSED THE RECALL. NOW IN 2020, IT IS GIVING FAULT CODES AND IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WASN'T BROKEN 6 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY REALIZED THE MECHANICS OF THE SYSTEM WERE FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING BACKED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY WHEN IT LOST POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AT IDLE WHILE STATIONARY AND PARKED. MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT IT IS A SYMPTOM OF THE FAILURE OF THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE COVERED IN FORD RECALL 14S05, OR RECALL #14V284000 BUT A CANNOT FIND MY VIN NUMBER INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS

STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WIGGLE OR TWITCH WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING. SOMETIMES FAST AND OTHER TIMES SLOW. FORD SHOULD RECALL UNDER CODE 14S05. STEERING IS GOING OUT BECAUSE OF COMPUTER TORQUE MISFIRING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS HAPPENING TO 100S OF PEOPLE.

THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHAKE ~1' IN EITHER DIRECTION FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS WHILE IDLING FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS; DID THAT 4/5 TIMES EACH DAY. IT WOULD STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE 3RD DAY A SENSOR ALARM WENT OFF ABOUT 60 SECONDS APART AND BY THE 4TH TIME, IT FINALLY SAID THIS ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. ALL OF THIS PART OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, GETTING ONTO THE EXIT RAMP, ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PARKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN LOOKING UP THE CODE, THIS WAS LISTED FOR A RECALL. 1 TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A PART OF THE RECALL. ANOTHER TECH SAID IT WAS NOT AFTER ALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THEY INSISTED IT WAS ONLY FOR A FEW VEHICLES YET IT IS THE SAME EXACT RECALL WARNING LISTED. AMERICAN CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT BODIES LACK COMMON SENSE WHILE THRIVING ON GREED AND CONTROL. OBVIOUSLY THE EXACT SAME PARTS WERE USED AND THE EXACT SAME RECALL HAS BEEN LISTED, BUT MAGICALLY DUE TO GREED AND POOR COMMON SENSE, I AM BEING TOLD TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF. LET'S FINALLY TAKE CARE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND BUILD TRUST TO ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS STATING THE EXACT SAME THING IN WHICH FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS. NHTSA, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ON NOTICE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND NECESSARY AND MAKE FORD FIX THIS FOR EVERYONE AND NOT WHOM THEY SO CHOOSE. TIRED OF THE GOVERNMENT BEING BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING? ME TOO. SO FOR ONCE DO SOMETHING TO TRULY SHOVE THE BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS DO WHAT THEY PROMISE TO DO AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT A CEO'S 7 FIGURE SALARY AND HURTING THEIR FEELINGS. DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE PLEASE AND STOP WAITING FOR MULTIPLE DEATHS TO OCCUR BEFORE YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH A CATERED LUNCH AND STARBUCKS TO DISCUSS YOUR FEELINGS ON THE MATTER. COMMON SENSE SAYS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORKS!!!!

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER TRAIN WILL REVE UP LIKE IT MISS A GEAR AND THEN RESUME TO NORMAL, SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT GEARS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AND HIT REAL HARD, LIKE A CLUTCH; THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN DURING DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN DRIVING BATTERY LIGHT COMES ALL LIGHTS ON DASH GOES OUT THEN EVENTUALLY WILL COME BACK ON, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE ON THE DASH THEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT N THE HEAT WILL GO OFF N ON PERIODICALLY. I'VE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAIN REGARDING SAME ISSUE ON BLOGS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY SEVERAL TIMES

HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. AFTERWARDS I HAD NO BRAKE. CAR HAS BEEN IN FOUR DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS AND I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED, MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND A USED ABS MODULE REPLACED. STILL DO NOT HAVE PROPER BRAKE. FOUND SERVICE NOTICE ONLINE FROM FORD #19S54 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE ON SOME FORD VEHICLES AND STATES A RECALL IS IN PROGRESS.. ESCAPE IS NOT INCLUDED BUT PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME. SIMILAR PARTS ARE USED ON MANY FORD VEHICLES. ESCAPE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. MY CAR IS USELESS WITHOUT BRAKES.

FAILURE OF THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR B2278. WHEN DRIVING OR IDLING, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL TURN BY ITSELF AS THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR FAILS. FORD DEALERSHIP CLOSED THE RECALL WITHOUT PERFORMING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR BASED ON REMEDIES RECOMMENDED IN RECALL 14S05. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED CORRECTLY AND WILL NOT HONOR RECALL TO REPLACE FAILING SENSOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH THE POWER ASSIST FAULT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO STEER THE WHEEL AND DRIVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RECALL WAS UNDER THE VIN PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE#(25442840). A DEALER (BEYER FORD LOCATED AT 170 RIDGEDALE AVE, MORRISTOWN, NJ 07960 (973) 644-3200) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED NO RECALL WAS PRESENT THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000. *LN*JB

IGNITON SWITCH FAILS TO WORK HALF THE TIME TURN KEY WILL NOT START WITHOUT EXCESSIVE TRIES

POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING IS NOW IN MANUAL MODE. POWER ASSISTED STEERING HAS FAILED. DEALER SAYS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THAT HAS AFFECTED SEVERAL OTHERS. SAME COMPONENTS AS OTHER RECALLED ESCAPES. AS FORD DEALER CHARGED $150 TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS OR SO, WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION & TRY REPEATEDLY TO TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE TO START. BECAUSE OF PAST PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE ENGINE DYING SUDDENLY ON ME & IN PARTICULAR A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL & MY RIGHT HAND HAPPEN TO GENTLY BRUSH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION.... I NOW WONDERED IF I COULD START THE ENGINE MY SIMPLY GENTLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NEXT TIME I TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO START THE ENGINE & NOTHING HAPPENED I KEPT THE KEY TURNED ALL THE WAY FORWARD IN THE IGNITION & TRIED TO GENTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL... THE ENGINE CAME RIGHT ON. QUITE ALARMING & SCARY TO THINK THAT YOU CAN TURN THE ENGINE ON BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. EXPLAINS WHY THE ENGINE EASILY TURNED OFF IN THE PAST WHEN MY RIGHT HAND BARELY TOUCHED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION & I LOST POWER STEERING. PERHAPS FORD'S SAFETY RECALL 14V-284 WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM & NOT THE TORQUE SENSOR THEY CLAIMED... THAT SITUATION INVOLVED AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAULT & LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. A LOCAL FORD DEALER (1-7-2020) CHARGED ME $618 TO REPLACE THE LOCK HOUSING & THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. HOPEFULLY I DON'T LOSE POWER STEERING AGAIN ANY TIME SOON AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER A 100,000 MILES & HAS BEEN HORRIBLY HORRIBLY HORRIBLY UNRELIABLE. WE BOUGHT THIS JUNK BRAND NEW & NEITHER FORD NOR THE DEALER HAVE EVER REACHED OUT TO US TO RIGHT THIS WRONG. NEARLY $40,000 WASTED FOR AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT I WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET $3,000 FOR ON A TRADE-IN NOT TO MENTION THAT I AM SCARED A NEW UNAWARE OWNER COULD LOSE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY & NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT.... ESPECIALLY @ HIGH SPEED & IN A TURN IN A ROAD. GOD HELP YOU IF YOUR NOT STRONG & CALM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, AN ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V777000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

I WAS DRIVING IN WET WEATHER AND SLID ON SOME LEAVES WHILE BRAKING. THIS CAUSED AN ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS). AFTER THE ABS EVENT I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY AND IT TOOK ALL OF MY EFFORT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THIS SPONGY BRAKES PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MILES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC. HE CHECKED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD RETURNED TO NORMAL BY ITSELF.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED, MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHORTLY BEFORE THE FAILURE, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT ON THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNING TO PULL OUT , THANKFULLY NOT ON A PUBLIC STREET OR WHILE NAVIGATING THE CANYON ROADS IN OUR AREA. THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT WAS DECEMBER 30, 2019.

VEHICLE WOULD STILL OPERATE BUT STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA AND WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE RECALL ONLY IMPACTED 3.0L ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND NOT OTHER FORD ESCAPES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND LIKELY HAVE A VERY SIMILAR PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER, JERKED, AND THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENTLY COMING ON SINCE AUG. 2019. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST I'M GOING??? I CAN NO LONGER START THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH THE THOB'S SECURITY LOCK BUTTONS TO LOCK/UNLOCK FOR IT TO START. I TOOK IT TO MY AUTO MECHANIC AT SAM'S AUTO IN WATERFORD, WHO THOUGHT HE FIXED IT NO PROBLEM, BUT I DROVE IT OFF HIS LOT, AND ITS STILL DOING IT. THAT WAS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS UNTIL NOW. SAM AND TERRY THINK I COULD BE IN DANGER. I SPOKE TO MY INSURANCE AGENT WHO SAID I NEEDED TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THE SUV. IT'S SCARY, AND I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2018 WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IN FACT, I AM COPYING THIS REPORT TO MY FILES 12/08/2019, AND TO SEND TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND WOULD LIKE IT REPAIRED, SO THAT I CAN TRADE IT IN, OR JUST GET RID OF IT. THANK YOU, I DID CALL YOU EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT THIS CAR. I HAD BEEN TOLD FOR SOMETIME BY MY FRIENDS TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE MANY RECALLS.

FORD VERY WELL KNOWS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS UNEXPECTEDLY. THEY ARE PUTTING $$$ OVER SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVING MY ESCAPE I LOST ALL POWER STEERING CONTROL. ERROR NOTED WAS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED.

FAULTY ABS MODULE FROM FACTORY CAUSING 'SOFT' BRAKES THAT LIMIT STOPPING ABILITY AND POTENTIALLY FATAL RESULT. MANY FORD ESCAPE OWNERS SUFFERING SAME ISSUE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL DESPITE IT BEING A FACTORY FAULT.

TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AT LOW SPEED GAVE THE MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. DROVE HOME AND PARKED. WENT TO LEAVE LATER AND THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE. DIAGNOSIS AT MECHANIC SAID IT IS POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIP WAS DIRECTED TO FORD CANADA. FORD CANADA SAYS WE CAN'T HELP YOU TRY YOUR DEALERSHIP. MANY CALLS LATER THEY FIND A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS SINCE I HAD THE COMPUTER UPGRADE WHICH PREVENTS ME FROM LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING I AM. OR ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TORQUE SENSOR WHICH IS COVERED IN FORDS 14S05 RECALL OF 'CERTAIN' FORD ESCAPES/MARINERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 2006 AND SEPTEMBER 2010 (MINE IS EARLY 2010). MOSTLY OUT OF KANSAS. THOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE?

THE SWITCH FAILS TO START THE ESCAPE. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TO PRESS ON THE KEY AND WIGGLE IT. NOW THE CAR FAILS TO START. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUE COULD LEAVE US STRANDED, WHETHER OUT ON THE ROAD, OR SOMEWHERE WE ARE NOT KNOWN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE IGNITION IS CUT OFF, AND THEN TRYING TO GET IT STARTED. HAVE ANY OTHER ESCAPE OWNERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED BUT THAT THE COST OF THE PARTS WOULD BE OVER $400.00.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FRIEND OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND POWER TRAIN INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S FRIEND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED AND ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING).

WHILE DRIVING IN A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, (IN TOWN AT STOPLIGHT AND ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY) MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING, JUST DIES. I HAVE BEEN TO 4 MECHANICS INCLUDING ONE AT A FORD DEALER JUST TODAY. NO CODES SHOW, SO EVERY TIME I AM BASICALLY TOLD THAT THEY "CAN'T DUPLICATE ISSUE" AND I AM SENT ON MY WAY WITH NO REMEDY FOR WHAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I JUST CALLED FORD AND STARTED A CASE NUMBER TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. JUDGING FROM OTHER COMMENTS I HAVE READ ON INTERNET, I AM NOT HOPEFUL. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL WASN'T ISSUED AND HOW I AM JUST LEARNING ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM NOW-AFTER SPENDING $20K ON THIS VEHICLE.

REPLACE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES BEGIN TO MAKE LOUD NOISES THEN IT WILL SLOW DOWN AS I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THEN IT WILL PICK BACKUP WITH SPEED. AFTER WHICH I BEGAN TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL AS IF THE TIRES ARE BURNING..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, EXTRA FORCE WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

A YEAR AGO BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON/OFF. HAD FRONT BRAKE LINE CHANGED. BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ON AGAIN OFF & ON OPERATING OKAY UNTIL A MONTH AGO THE ABS LIGHT WITH BRAKE SYSTEM ON AND VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKE CONTROL FORWARD AND BACKWARD. HAD BRAKES PADS CHANGED AND HOSES FOR BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED. AND STILL ABS + BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ON AND NO BRAKE CONTROL. HAD CAR TOWED FROM HOME TO DEALERSHIP. ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR BRAKING AND WAS TOLD NON. LUCKILY MOST ON THE NON BRAKING FUNCTIONS HAPPENED IN LOW SPEED AREA, NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDE STREETS AND A LITTLE ON MAIN 2NDARY ROAD. THERE'S LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. SAFETY ISSUE.

MY ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO DRIVE - I ONLY HAVE 70,000 MILES ON MY FORD ESCAPE - I WAS PARKING MY CAR WHEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF THEN WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I TRIED CALLING FORD AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP .

ACCORDING TO YOUR VIN SEARCH, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE 5 RECALLS ON THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. NOW WITH THAT SAID, 1 RECALL THAT IS LISTED, I AM HAVING A FUEL LEAK JUST AS IT IS DESCRIBED BUT AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THAT RECALL AND IT SHOULD. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS TO INFORM THAT THE TANK IS FULL, THE GAS STARTS TO LEAK VERY BADLY FROM UP UNDERNEATH AND THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME.

MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE HAS 2 MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD ISSUE WITH MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WHERE THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERS WHILECLOSING THE GATE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY WILL NOT FIX. GLASS SHATTERS INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND PROJECTS 10-15 FEET IN ANY GIVEN DIRECTION. YET, FORD WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHERE I HAVE HAD GLASS SHOT AT MY FACE AND I ALSO HAVE A DOG THAT IS OFTEN PUT IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY FORD WILL DO SOMETHING IS IF I PAY. I ALSO WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT FILED COMPLAINTS THINKING THIS IS A FLUKE ACCIDENT AND MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH INSURANCE. I KNOW IT IS NO FLUKE SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND TALKING WITH FORD THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE FILED TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. THE SECOND IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR WILL LOOSE ALL POWER AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLS. THE TECHNICAL (NOT A FORD ONE) THAT I BROUGHT THIS TO SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE BUT FORD WAS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THEM. *JS

DRIVING ON CITY STREET ONCE AT ABOUT 30MPH THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 60MPH THE SECOND TIME. I SUDDENLY LOSE SPEED AND VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE WRENCH LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. I CAN TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTART AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A MONTH. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR UNDER FIELD SERVICE ACTION 13NO3. FORD REFUSED TO REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE OFF MY VEHICLE INDICATING IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. SO I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, HAVE IT TOWED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING SO THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL STAY ON BECAUSE IT GOES OFF WHEN I RESTART IT.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. PER THE FORD DEALER IT IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF IT DOES IT DURING A TEST DRIVE BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS PATENTLY UNSAFE. IT SHUTS DOWN IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SURFACE ROAD SPEEDS, WHILE MOVING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER - FOWLER FORD - IS NOT FOLLOWING FORD'S DIRECTIVE AND IS CHARGING ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHEN FORD SAYS NOT TO. THE 2010 FORD ESCAPE IS A DEATH TRAP. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR LESS SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT THE ONE ISSUE THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL? THIS MAKES NO SENSE, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. WHY WAS FORD ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A PART THAT FAILS RANDOMLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS THAT FORD WAS GIVEN A PASS ON AN ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING AT POSTED SPEEDS ON A STATE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT LIMP. AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH IN IDLE. THE WRENCH ICON ALSO COMES ON. WHEN USING AN OBD2 READER A CODE OF P2112 WAS GIVEN. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN A SPAN OF 2 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY.

LOST POWER STEERING AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STEERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO START, BUT IT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. A FRIEND OF THE CONTACT'S FAMILY GOOGLED THE FAILURE, WHICH INDICATED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP SWITCH LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE FUEL PUMP SWITCH WAS RESET AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

VEHICLE HAS TAKEN TO STALLING/DYING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. THE CAR WAS IN GEAR AND GOING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MPH EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH 25 MPH LIMITS AND NO CARS WERE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY ON EACH OCCASION.

THE REAR SHOCK UPPER MOUNTING TOWER AND SUPPORT HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND DETACHED FROM FRAME OF VEHICLE CAUSING REAR WHEEL TO LOOSE CONTACT WITH ROAD. VEHICLE THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE FRAME RUST / DAMAGE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

WINDOW REGULATOR ON 3 OF 4 WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED. CABLE BREAKS (LOUD, STARTLING BANG), WINDOW "DROPS" AND CANNOT BE RAISED. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN 2017, ONE OCCURRED WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND OCCUPIED IN 2018, AND ONE OCCURRED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED AND VACANT (6/27/19).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ABILITY. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME TIGHT WHEN TURING IN EITHER DIRECTION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING); ALTHOUGH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE VEHICLE FLEX FUEL SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND REVIEWED BY MECHANICS, WHO COME BACK WITH ONE ISSUE, THE FLEX FUEL SET UP. SO WE ORDERED AND REPLACED THE FLEX FUEL PIPE 2 TIMES NOW. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO POP BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS GO BY. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FROM A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I AM SCARED TO DEATH SHE WILL CRASH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ON THE INTERSTATE. THE 2011 RECALL FORD ISSUED COVERED THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, WHICH IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MY DAUGHTER JUST CALLED AND STATED THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF 5 TIMES IN THE COURSE OF A MILE. LUCKILY, SHE WAS LOCAL.

***THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS!!!*** ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SCARY & DANGEROUS SITUATION TO STEER THE CAR. IT SEEMS AFTER I PULL OVER & TURN ON & OFF IT WORKS AGAIN FOR A WHILE, BUT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN.. FORD COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE MAKES & MODELS, BUT SAY RECALL IS NOT ON THIS ONE--(WHICH IT CLEARLY LANDS ON THE DATES & MANUFACTURING PLANT)

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP WHETHER IT BE A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE RPM'S OVER REV HIGHER AT THE TIME OF LEAVING FROM A STOP WHEN GAS IS GIVEN TO VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS BACK UP TO SPEED THE RPM'S DROP BACK TO A NORMAL RANGE.

BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE RUSTING. THIS STARTING HAPPENING AROUND 2016. I SEE MANY OTHER 2010 ESCAPES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM.

UNABLE TO CLOSE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR - WON'T LATCH OR CLOSE

2010 FORD ESCAPE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL MALFUNCTIONS AND SPEED DIAL FALLS TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.

STEERING COLUMN BEGAN TO LOOSEN AND SHAKE, IMPAIRING STEERING ABILITY. MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (CODE B2278), WHICH WAS COVERED BY RECALL 14S05, WHICH INCLUDED THE FACTORY AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING LOST INTERMITTENTLY. POWER STEERING MODULE ASSEMBLY WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL IN 2015 BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN. FORD WONT STAND BY THE PART THEY FIXED IT WITH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING DUE TO A FAILED PART.

ISSUE WITH ABS MODULE SYSTEM- BRAKE PEDAL WAS INTERMITTENTLY SOFT WHILE DRIVING, AND BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE LATE IN PEDAL PROGRESSION. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER TO FIX ISSUE. ISSUE CONTINUED AND NOW HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BECAUSE OF A BAD ABS MODULE, AND FORD WILL NOT FIX. LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND BRAKES NO LONGER WORK PROPERLY.

LEAVING WORK FOR LUNCH MY POWER STEER STOPPED WORKING. I LOOKED INTO RECALLS AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLES MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. BUT ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND MADE IN A CERTAIN PLANT AND MINE DIDN'T QUALIFY.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD ESCAPE AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT, THERE ARE SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT. WHY? MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED THERE WAS NO WARNING IT JUST WENT OUT--THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MY CARS MAINTENANCE AND BEFORE MY HUSBAND LEFT OUT OF TOWN I MADE SURE THAT THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND ALL WAS GOOD WITH THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THE FORD DEALER IF IT NEEDED POWER STEERING AND THEY SAID NO ITS ELECTRICAL. NOW I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WITH NO POWER STEERING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A CLICK AND LOST MY POWER STEERING. IT CAME BACK AND THEN OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY IGNITION.

MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WAS PART OF RECALL 14S05 WHICH DEALT WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL IN 2014 WHEN I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BUT AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PSCM. THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY FAILED THIS YEAR WHILE MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN. IT WAS NECESSARY TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AT A COST OF $1265.43 WHICH FORD REFUSES TO PAY EVEN THOUGH THIS REPAIR IS SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. HAD I NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE NOTICE, THE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THE STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN ON A SIDE STREET. I CAN PROVIDE ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASHBOARD WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT APPEARS DESPITE A RECALL #14S05 BEING DONE BY FIRST OWNER IN OCTOBER 2014 SAME ISSUE HAS AGAIN HAPPENED. THANKFUL THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, NOT WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS USED BY OUR 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS STILL A FAIRLY NEW DRIVER. WHEN WE CALLED FORD THEY TOLD US SECONDARY REPAIR IS ON US SINCE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING THAT SAFETY IS NOT THEIR FIRST PRIORITY; SECONDLY THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND FIXING WHAT CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO A VERY DIFFERENT OUTCOME. MILEAGE TBD. UNABLE TO READ DASH WITH ERROR MESSAGE.

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND NO CODES SCANNED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BARELY COULD STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD ABS SYSTEM REPLACED BY A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT HAPPENS ON THESE CARS FREQUENTLY FROM WHAT I HEARD. VERY DANGEROUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING WORKED MOMENTARILY AND THEN SUDDENLY TURNED BACK OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. STUART POWELL FORD LINCOLN MAZDA (255 S DANVILLE BYPASS, DANVILLE, KY 40422) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

DRIVING AT 50MPH, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDEBT, ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST LIGHT ON. SAME PROBLEM AS 2014 RECALL BUT ACCORDING TO FORD APPARENTLY THIS VIN ISN'T COVERED. PATHETIC RESPONSE TO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 196,000.

POWER STEER ASSIST DISABLED EVEN AFTER FORD RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THE OWNER NOT HAVING ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE ONLY A BAND-AID DOES NOT TRULY FIX ISSUE. WIFE DRIVING HOME IN VEHICLE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH KIDS IN CAR DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. NEEDED TO MEET WIFE TO GET CAR SO I COULD DRIVE IT BACK STILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR MYSELF AND I AM A STRONG PERSON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

SUDDENLY LOST ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE IDLE BUT APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL

HARD STOP ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY. IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SO THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE BRAKES NEVER RECOVERED. HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET A GOOD STOPPING PRESSURE. FOUR MONTHS LATER, OUT OF NOWHERE, THE VEHICLE HAD NO PRESSURE WHATSOEVER. BRAKE FLUID BEGAN POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. UNDER INSPECTION, MECHANIC FAULTED A FAILED ABS MODULE. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED URGENTLY. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 123,000 MILES.

DROVE TO SCHOOL EVERYTHING OKAY, CAME OUT AFTER PRACTICE AND 2010 FORD ESCAPE WOULD NOT TURN WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT. THE WHEEL WOULD CLICK EACH TIME YOU TURNED A QUARTER OF A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER RECEIVING ASSISTANCE, LEARNED THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND NO POWER STEERING. TOOK TO SPARKS AUTOREPAIR (1665 SCHERER PKWY, ST CHARLES, MO 63303) THEY DIAGNOSED A STEERING COLUMN COMPUTER FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE COULD LOCK UP THE STEERING AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. AS A VEHICLE OWNER, I AM FORCED TO FIX IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, SEEMS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN JUST MYSELF EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE ON PARTICULAR VINS THERE WAS A RECALL. REPORTING THE ISSUE OF A SERIOUS STEERING ISSUE IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. THIS ISN'T A SIMPLE FIX. BE SAFE 2010 ESCAPE OWNER/OPERATORS. WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AGGRESSIVELY. BOB POYNTER FORD, INC (526 S JACKSON PARK DR, SEYMOUR, IN 47274, (812) 522-2040) DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND I WENT TO TURN AND ALMOST DID NOT MAKE THE TURN BECAUSE MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD NO WARNING OR NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH THAT CAME ON TO TELL ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY. WHEN I GOOGLED THE ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND GOING THROUGH THE SAME DEAL.

WHILE DRIVING ON PAVED ROAD NOT TURNING STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD A RECALL REPAIRED REGARDING THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST ON JUNE 11, 2015 AT VARSITY FORD (3480 JACKSON AVE, ANN ARBOR, MI 48103, (734) 996-2300), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,057.

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, VERY DIFFICULT DRIVING AFTERWARDS

WHILE DRIVING ALONG 2 LANE ROADWAY AT 45 MPH IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING, THIS NEARLY CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON

VEHICLE STEERING FIRST FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH. A POWER ON/OFF RESTART OF THE VEHICLE RESTORED POWER STERRING ONCE. 4 DAYS LATER, STEERING FAILED AS THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED ON WITH A "POWER STEERING FAILURE" (OR SIMILAR) MESSAGE ON THE CENTER DASH. THIS BEHAVIOR IS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO THE BEHAVIOR THAT RECALL 14S05 WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX, BUT THE FORD AND THE DEALER IS CLAIMING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DONE IN 2014 WAS SUFFICIENT AND WON'T HONOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. I STRONGLY THINK NHTSA AND FORD NEED TO DO AN ADDITIONAL RECALL.

MESSAGE SAYING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING. STARTED CAR UP TO DRIVE, MESSAGE CAME ON MESSAGE CENTER, WENT TO MOVE VEHICLE, THEN HAD NO POWER STEERING AND WENT STRAIGHT OUT INTO ROAD. NEEDS TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, SINCE IT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS.

STERRING WHEEL ASSIST DOES NOT WORK WHILE ON A CITY STREET

THE FLANGE ELECTRICAL KEY SWITCH IS FAULTY CAUSING TH CAR TO NOT START THE KEY WILL NOT TURN, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS WELL AS SOME OTHER ESCAPE OWNERS I HAVE TALKED WITH. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER HAD TO PUT THE FLASHER ON AND MUSCLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE LAST TIME SHE WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. AT THE SAME TIME THE RADIO AND FDIM WOULD COME ON ERRATICALLY AND REALLY LOUD. TOOK THE CAR TO LARRY H MILLER FORD IN SLC UTAH THEY CHARGED HER 90.00 WHICH SHE NEVER AGREED TO, REPROGRAMMED THE CAR ONLY AND REPLACED NO PARTS. LARRY MILLER FORD SENT MY DAUGHTER OUT WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE, THE RADIO AND FDIM STILL GO OFF AND ON IN A STARTLING FASHION AND KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY OCCUR AGAIN. I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED SO ALL SAFETY HAZARDS ARE ADDRESSED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND RESULTED IN EXTREME DIFFICULT DRIVING AND DANGER. I CALLED FORD AND SPENT OVER $400 HAVING DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT AND GIVE ME $2,000 ESTIMATES AND SAYING IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE FORD AT A POINT WHO STATED THE RECALL WAS ALREADY COMPLETED IN 2014, HOWEVER, THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS AND CREATES A STRONG DANGER TO DRIVE. THE HAVE REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL THAT THEY THEMSELVES CLAIM WAS FIXED, AND I'M LEFT WITH A FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING IT TO GET TO WORK. WHY WON'T THEY HONOR THEIR RECALL? IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE EXACT PROBLEM THEY CLAIM TO HAVE FIXED.

I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A RECALL AND THIS CAR FRAME WAS CRACKED AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT IT FROM ANYONE FRONT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM OR THE COMPANY THAT FIXED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN I CLOSED THE LIFTGATE WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY! WASN'T SHUT HARD, ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SLAM ONE OF THESE LIFGATES. THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GLASS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT AND RIGHT AND THE POWER ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAFAYETTE FORD LINCOLN (5202 RAEFORD RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28304, (910) 424-0281) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME MID DAY TURNING ON TO THE MAIN STREET WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT IS A TIGHT TURN AND LUCKY I HAD A HOLD OF MY STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION AND NOT HIT THE PILLAR FOR A RESTAURANT ON THIS STREET CORNER. AS THIS HAPPENED I DID HEAR AN ALERT GOING OFF IN MY CAR AFTER THE SITUATION WAS UNDER CONTROL I NOTICED MY DASH HAD A WARNING ON IT SAYING POWER STEERING FAILURE. MY THOUGHT WAS HOW STUPID IS THAT I ALREADY KNOW THIS STEERING IS OUT. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO IN THE PAST AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE STEERING, BUT BEFORE I HAD CALLED THEM I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MY CAR DID INDEED HAVE A PAST RECALL FROM 2014 FOR THIS STEERING PROBLEM. WHILE ON THE PHONE W THE DEALERSHIP I INFORMED THEM OF THIS RECALL AND THEY INFORMED THAT THIS RECALL WAS REPAIRED ON MY CAR IN OCTOBER 2014 WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. ACCORDING TO WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS SOFTWARE WAS JUST TO INSTALL A WARNING CHIME & THE DASH WARNING. I WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS SOFTWARE FIXES THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I COULD'VE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT IF WAS A WEAKER PERSON. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP SO I WILL BE HAVING THIS FIXED AT LOCAL SHOP AT A COST TO ME OF APPROXIMATELY $1,000. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS MECHANICAL ISSUE OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS WHO ALREADY HAD THIS REPAIRED. WHY WASN'T FORD REQUIRED IN THE 1ST RECALL TO DO THIS REPAIR CORRECTLY. I BEG YOU BEFORE THERE ARE MORE INJURIES OR EVEN DEATHS TO RECALL THIS AGAIN AND REQUIRE FORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR WHERE IT SEEMED THEY COULD'VE CARED LESS. I DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE AS OF TODAY ONLY RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE AT THIS TIME FOR REPAIRS. AS SOON AS THESE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE I WILL SAVE A COPY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

THE "CHECK FUEL FILL INLET" CAME ON A COUPLE OF MILES AFTER FILLING GAS AND STAYED ON. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE COMPUTER SO WE REPLACED THE COMPUTER. BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS AND IT SEEMS MANY OTHER FORD ESCAPE USERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND I STARTED IT. THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' ALERT SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED. I COULD NOT PHYSICALLY STEER THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. WE TOOK IT TO OUR USUAL MECHANIC, WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND DTC B2278. HE DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT, AND SUGGESTED WE LOOK INTO A RECALL. HE EVEN PROVIDED THE RECALL NUMBER WHICH APPEARED APPLICABLE. OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANT DURING THE MANUFACTURE TIME FRAME OF RECALL 14S05, BUT OUR VIN DOES NOT SHOW ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL 14S05, SINCE THAT SPECIFIC RECALL WAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, KNOWN TO OCCUR ON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AT THAT PLANT DURING THAT TIMESPAN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE EXACT REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN RECALL 14S05. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHICH CRITERIA IS USED TO DECIDE WHICH VIN NUMBERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL.

MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LITE IS COMING ON AND MY STEERING IS REAL TIGHT . IT TURNS OK WHEN MOVING BUT REAL HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING ..HEARD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT SEEMS NOT FOR MY FORD

EXITING HIGHWAY WHEN POWER STEERING WAS LOST. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE FOR A MINUTE OR LESS. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING RESUMED. CONTACTED DEALER THEY SAID BRING IT IN FOR INSPECTION. COULD FIND NO FAULTS. SAID STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED REPLACING BUT WASN'T COVERED BY RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE RECALL STOPPED IN 2014. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND TO FIX IT. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR RECALL IN 2014 BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AT THAT TIME.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. CAR WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO REPAIR CENTER. WAS REPAIRED FOR COST OF $1500. RECALLS WERE CHECKED AS MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM, AND MANY RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR WERE FOUND, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT.

HELLO, I JUST SPENT 1/2 HOUR WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON THE PHONE ABOUT THEIR FORD ESCAPE 2010 AND THE FAULTY ABS MODULE. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK BECAUSE OF THIS WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ESCAPE AND OTHER MODELS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DEPRESS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHILE VERY SLOWLY DECELERATING THE CAR, I OFTEN HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO BUILD SOME PRESSURE IN ORDER TO STOP. CLEARLY, AN ABS FAILURE! DO WE HAVE TO WORK WITH LAWYERS TO GET THAT RESOLVES OR START A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AND OTHER BLOGS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. IT'S NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM QUIT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST HIT A CAR HEAD ON. WHEN I LOOKED UP HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ESCAPE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR AS MINE. MY ESCAPE WAS BUILT OUT OF THE KC PLANT WERE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED.... THE BAD PART MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL

MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE REAL BAD WHEN DRIVING, PARKED, AND WHEN JUST SITTING AND NOW IT IT SAYING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS AT FAULT AND I CAN NOT MOVE MY WHEEL AT ALL I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE WORK

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DURING COLDER WEATHER SUDDENLY IT LOST COMPLETE STEERING POWER THIS RESULTED IN VERY HARD STEERING. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MORE TIMES. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING AND NO WARNING LIGHTS DURING THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. BEFORE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BRIEFLY COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE COMPUTER TO RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL ABILITY WAS RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND PARKED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED ON NOVEMBER 13, 2018 WITH BOMMARITO FORD (675 DUNN RD, HAZELWOOD, MO 63042, (314) 895-0600), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,024. *TT*JB

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS EXTREMELY HARD TO THE LEFT.I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND THANKFULLY NOT ON THE HIGHWAYNOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE STEERING AUTOMATICALLY (AND BY IT'S SELF) TURNS HARD AND FAST ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 156,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD MECHANIC BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THERE ARE NO CODES OR INDICATOR FAULT LIGHTS OR WARNINGS. IT WS MADE AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANET BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR WORSE TAKE THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION.ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD'S ELECTRONIC STEERING AND STILL NOTHING BEING DONE. MAKES YOU WONDER WHO'S REALLY CALLING THE SHOTS HERE.

RECENTLY I'VE NOTICED ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN ESCAPES, BUT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL, DESPITE BEING FROM THE SAME PLANT. I HEAR A CLICK AND THEN MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THERE IS A CLICK RIGHT BEFORE IT GOES OUT, AND A CLICK RIGHT BEFORE IT COMES BACK ON. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT FIRST LASTED ONLY A FEW SECONDS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT LAST WEEK, BUT JUST IN THAT SHORT PERIOD, THE TIME HAS INCREASED AT EACH OCCURRENCE. I'VE ONLY DRIVEN MY CAR THREE TIMES IN THAT WEEK, AND AT THE LAST OCCURRENCE, THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT FOR CLOSER TO A MINUTE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHILE I AM IN MOTION, AND HAPPENS WHETHER I AM TURNING OR NOT AND SHOWS NO DISCRETION WHETHER I AM ON A CITY STREET GOING 30 MPH OR HIGHWAY GOING 55-65 MPH.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. FORD CLOSED THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED BUT NOTHING HAD BEEN REPLACED. NOW VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND FORD REFUSES TO MAKE UPDATES TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN OR UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. ALL AMERICAN FORD IN PARAMUS, NJ AGREED THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL BUT FORD CORPORATION REFUSED TO REOPEN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAD EVER BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. RECALL NUMBER IS 14S05

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN A BEEP SOUNDED AND MESSAGE "STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME UP. I WENT TO BRANFORD (CONNECTICUT) FORD AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED REPLACING. WITHOUT THIS IT COULD JAM AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. CAR ALSO HAD STRAINED STARTING. THEY SAID BATTERY WAS WEAK. REPLACED BATTERY. NEXT DAY SAME PROBLEM STARTING. OBVIOUSLY NOT THE NEW BATTERY. .

THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON, RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, AUDIBLE ALARM AND BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE HEV STOPS WORKING AND THE GAS MOTOR DOESN'T SHUTOFF. THIS HAS HAPPEN A NUMBER OF TIMES FORD DEALER "NO CODES FOUND, UNABLE TO DUPLICATE". HAVE HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB DONE, WITH UPGRADED PARTS AS RECOMMENDED. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES TO COME AND GO INTERMITTENTLY. TALK TO OTHER FORD ESCAPE HYBRID OWNERS AND ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.

WHILE TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A BUSY ROAD WHEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED TURNING, MADE AN ALARM SOUND AND SEEMED TO DECREASE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN JUST BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ARRIVED AT THE INTERSECTION. AS THE WHEELS STRAIGHTENED OUT, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. AS I MADE THE NEXT RIGHT HAND TURN, IT AGAIN CUT OUT IN MID-TURN AND THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH. DURING THE NEXT LEFT-HAND TURN, IT AGAIN CUT OUT MID-TURN BUT THIS TIME I WAS EXPECTING IT AND HAD NO TROUBLE FORCING THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS TIME THE FAULT MESSAGE STAYED ON AND THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY POWER ASSIST. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE EXPECTING IT TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR A LOW FLUID ISSUE ONLY TO DISCOVER IN THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT THE POWER ASSIST IS ELECTRICAL, NOT HYDRAULIC. I ASKED THE PARTS STORE EMPLOYEE TO RUN A SCAN ON THE VEHICLE AND WHEN HE SAW THE VEHICLE/MESSAGE HE TOLD ME THE SCAN WOULDN'T DO ANY GOOD WITH THAT ISSUE AND IT WAS GOING TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIP TO THE MECHANIC. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' MESSAGE STAYED ON WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2010 FORD ESCAPES FROM THE KANSAS CITY PLANT, BUT A CHECK OF THE FORD RECALL DATABASE SHOWS NO SUCH RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 96,823 MILES, I WOULD NOT EXPECT A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT TO UNEXPECTEDLY FAIL. THIS VEHICLE IS NORMALLY DRIVEN BY MY GIRLFRIEND (WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THE VEHICLE) AND WHILE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN IN THOSE CONDITIONS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT, I AM NOT CERTAIN SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO.

FORD IS SAYING IT'LL COST UPWARDS OF 5K TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED, IT'S AN ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT THEY BELIEVE IS DEFECTIVE, THEY AREN'T SURE IF THIS WILL FULLY FIX THE ISSUE.

AS IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A SUNDAY MORNING AND I DID NOT HAVE A PHONE WITH ME SO I DECIDED TO TRY RESTARTING THE ENGINE. IT STARTED AND THE YELLOW WRENCH DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AFTER A SHORT TEST DRIVE IN THE PARKING LOT I DECIDED TO CANCEL MY ERRANDS AND TRY TO RETURN HOME, A DISTANCE OF A FEW MILES. I DROVE AT 25-30 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREETS AND MADE IT HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND REPORT BACK. LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY HAD A REPLACEMENT PART. WHEN I CAME IN TO PICK UP THE CAR I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO CHARGE BECAUSE THE REPAIR 'WAS UNDER WARRANTY!' THIS WAS A BIG SURPRISE, SINCE I HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM NOR OF A WARRANTY EXTENSION. SUDDEN DEACCELERATION WOULD BE DANGEROUS ON A FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, NOT MITIGATED BY "LIMP HOME" CAPABILITY

RECALL 16V-777 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JANUARY 2018 STATING THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE FIXED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER - GIBBONS FORD AND WAS PUT ON THE WAITING LIST SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. IT IS NOW APRIL AND THE DEALER HAS ONLY RECEIVED THREE OF THE PARTS TO DATE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SEVICE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER CAS14605645. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE ELEVATED TO THEIR MANAGEMENT, BUT I THINK FOUR MONTHS IS EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO EFFECT A RECALL. THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS AND I'M HESITANT TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF FIRE. I BASICALLY HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE WAITING ON FORD TO GET PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP. ANY PRESSURE THAT CAN BE PUT ON FORD TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOSS THE POWER STEERING ABILITY AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. GOOD THING I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND NOT GOING FAST. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS, BUT IN 2014 THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE ONLY UNLESS THE POWER STEERING HAD ACTUALLY GONE OUT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW DID UPDATING THE SOFTWARE FIXES THE ISSUE? I WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, AND THAT IT WILL BE ABOUT $1,800 TO FIX. WHY IS FORD NOT ISSUING ANOTHER RECALL TO TAKE CARE OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS FAILURE? IT'S SO UNFAIR THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM EVENTUALLY, AND FORD SLAPPED A BAND-AID ON IT SO AS TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR. I GUESS IF SOMEONE GETS INJURED SERIOUSLY ENOUGH, THEN MAYBE THEY'LL DO SOMETHING. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY CAR TO BE FIXED, BUT I AM GOING TO DO ALL THAT I CAN TO GET SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SO CALL "RECALL" THAT DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A FORD VEHICLE.

PCM HAS WATER DAMAGE DUE TO PLACEMENT UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN THE HOOD IS OPENED WATER RUNS DOWN DIRECTLY ONTO THE UNIT AND INTO THE WIRING. THE REPEATED WATER EXPOSURE HAS CAUSED THE UNIT TO FAULT. THIS WATER INTRUSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL TO ENGAGE THE STARTER; HOWEVER, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO ARE FUNCTIONAL. INTERMITTENTLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATE AND THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP READING SPEED AND RMPS, RESETTING TO ZERO. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT NOT IMPAIR OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR IS FAILING. INTERMITTENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN THIS OCCURS, TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY WILL TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

RECALL 14S05. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY POWER STEERING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN AS INSTRUCTED. THE DEALERSHIP "REPROGRAMMED IT" AS INSTRUCTED BY FORD. NOW THE TORQUE SENSOR THAT WAS ALSO UNDER SAME RECALL IS OUT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THEY ARE TELLING ME THE RECALL WAS SATISFIED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND READING OTHER STORIES ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I FEEL THIS WAS A SCAM BY FORD TO SATISFY THE RECALL. THEY ARE PUSHING THE COST TO THE CONSUMER. THE REPROGRAM IS JUST A WARNING THAT THE STEERING IS GOING TO FAIL IT WAS NEVER ANY FIX. THE SENSOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY WARNING ON THEIR OWN ADMISSION WHEN YOU CALL TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL. I REALLY THINK THIS IS WRONG ON EVERY LEVEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. THE CONSOLE THEN HAD A WARNING COME UP SAYING A POWER STEERING FAILURE ACCURED. THIS VEHICLE DID HAVE THE RECALL DONE FOR THE POWER STEERING AT WHICH TIME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS

NOW MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE JERKS AND HAVE TO LOOK AROUND.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WHEN I ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER STEERING WHILE TURNING WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN MY ESCAPE BEGAN TO MAKE A "DINGING" NOISE REPEATEDLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK. THE CAR THEN SHOWED "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" . MY ESCAPE HAS NOT HAD POWER STEERING SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE ESCAPE FROM AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST RECALL HAD BEEN SATISFIED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING IT WITH THE REPROGRAM AND NOTHING REPLACED. I THEN CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE WHO CONFIRMED THIS INFORMATION AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY SATISFIED WITH THE REPROGRAM. WHEN RUNNING A CODE SCANNER IT COMES BACK AS THE TORQUE SENSOR CODE. I AM CURRENTLY BARELY ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND UNABLE TO AFFORD THE $1500-$2000 REPAIR THAT I WAS TOLD "MIGHT WORK" BY THE DEALERSHIP.

FORD DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR OF A FIX, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A STOP, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING WHILE I HAD THE CAR IN PARK. I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND WENT TO TURN THE CORNER AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE OF ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST FAULT. IT SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE BARELY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PART HAD BEEN PART OF A RECALL BY FORD AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO OPEN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE 3 FIXES AND THEY ONLY DID THE FIRST/CHEAPSET ONE.

I HAVE GOTTEN A RECALL 16V-777, 16S41/NHTSA. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR OIL AND THEY CHECKED THE RECALL, THEY TOLD ME MY TEST FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK. SO SOON AS I TURNED OFF MY CAR AFTER I LEFT THERE. I HAD A PROBLEM RESTARTING IT. I CALLED THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT A FEW DAYS, THAT THERE MAYBE AIR IN THE LINE. IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. WENT BACK IN FOR REPAIR. IT WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT RESTARTING. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT FORD GARAGE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE A DIFFERENT GARAGE DID THE WORK. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK TO THE GARAGE THAT DID THE WORK YET.
