2010 Ford Escape Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND JERKED AFTER CRANKING THE ENGINE AND STALLED OUT WHILE STILL. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE, IT WAS CITED THE CAR HAS A "GROSS VACUUM LEAK" INDICATING THAT THE "EASY FUEL" GAS FLAP IS NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MOST FORD ESCAPE OWNERS AND EVEN OTHER FORD OWNERS THAT HAVE THE "EASY FUEL" SYSTEM. THE SUGGESTED SOLUTION BY MOST DEALERS AND TECHNICIANS IS TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE FUEL FILL PUMP, HOWEVER THE REPAIR SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COSTLY FOR AN ISSUE IMPACTING OWNERS BASED ON A FAULTY "EASY FUEL" SYSTEM.

HAD TO HAVE THROTTLE BODY REPLACE FOR SECOND TIME FIRST TIME IN DECEMBER 1 2015 SAME ISSUE OCCURRED JANUARY 13 2017 FIRST TIME PAID NOTHING BUT THAT WAS AFTER ME HAVING TO INFORM THEM OF THE 13N03 CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION FROM FORD. THIS TIME HAD TO PAY 100 DOLLARS AS THEY CALL IT DEDUCTIBLE THIS CAR IS A 2010 HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILE ON ITS THIRD THROTTLE BODY . WELL MY COMPLAINT IS IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE TWICE WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AT ALL . BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED WAS LIGHT CITY TRAFFIC AND BOTH TIMES WHEN MY WIFE WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP OUR CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND WHILE TRAVELING UNDER 40 MPH I WANT MY FAMILY SAFE GOD FORBID IT HAPPEN ON FREEWAY FAR FROM HOME PLEASE PLEASE RESOLVE BOTH ISSUES THANK YOU *TR

RECALL ISSUED DECEMBER 2010. SEVERAL PHONE CALLS MADE TO TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS FOR REPAIRS AS SOME PF THE ISSUES IDENTIFIED HAVE BEEN NOTICED DURING REFUELING OF VEHICLE. THEN IN JANUARY 2017 APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO ADDRESS ISSUE AND AFTER LENGTHY WAIT SERVICE WAS NOT PREFORMED BECAUSE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. AS OF THIS WRITING STILL NOTHING FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ADDRESS THIS FUEL ISSUE THAT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY 2010 ESCAPE CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THERE WERE NO CODES BUT THEY "REPROGRAMMED" THE SENSOR. NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE TORQUE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD CAUSE THE POWER STEERING TO STOP WORK WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GO BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY WONT DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS REPROGRAMMED ALREADY. THE SAFETY ISSUE STILL EXIST.

IN JULY 2014, FORD ISSUED A RECALL (14S05/NHTSA RECALL 14V-284) FOR DEFECTIVE TORQUE SENSORS (FOR POWER STEERING). MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. FORD HAD AN OPTION OF RE-PROGRAMMING OR REPLACING THE PART. ALTHOUGH I WASN'T EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM AT THE TIME, FORD REPROGRAMMED MY VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. BUT IN JAN. 2017, THE DEFECTIVE PART FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET.. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSOR AT THE FORD SERVICE DEALER IN PUTNAM, CT AT A COST OF OVER $500. I ENDED UP PAYING TO REPLACE AN ADMITTEDLY DEFECTIVE PART WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FORD. I BELIEVE THE RE-PROGRAMMING DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TR

FORD ESCAPE POWER ASSIST STEERING RECALL JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE OCT 14 2016. NOV 7,2016 THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT OUT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 10MPH. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP & THEY TOLD ME NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS FOUND. DEALERSHIP WANTS $700 TO FIX. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SUPPORT & WAS INFORMED THAT A SYSTEM UPDATE WAS DONE IN AUG 2014 FOR THE RECALL. ON 2ND CALL TO FORD CUST SPT, A "INVESTIGATION" WAS OPENED & SENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TRY TO WORK WITH IT. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS, BOTH THE DEALERSHIP & FORD CUST SUPPORT WERE BOTH PUTTING IT OFF ON THE OTHER TO WORK WITH THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE AN ONGOING RECALL IF THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO DO THE SYSTEM UPDATE & NOT REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, OR THAT THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR SHOULD JUST BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF A SYSTEM UPDATE AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE READ IN THE LAST 48HRS OF THIS HAPPENING OVER & OVER AGAIN TO PEOPLE WHO'VE HAD ONLY THE SYSTEM UPDATE. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING ON A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS SITUATION TAKEN CARE OF, ON THEIR PART. I WILL NOT STOP VOICING MYSELF, ON BEHALF OF OTHERS WHO'VE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPEN TO THEM, MORE THAN ONCE!!

2010 FORD ESCAPE WAS STATIONARY WHEN AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING "POWER STEERING FAULT." THE WHEEL WOULD TURN BUT ONLY WITH GREAT EFFORT. MY MECHANIC INDICATED THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IS COVERED BY A FORD RECALL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT, WHILE SUBJECT TO THE FORD RECALL, THE DEALER "UPDATED THE SOFTWARE" AND FORD WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY POWER STEERING MODULE. POWER STEERING MODULES SHOULD NOT FAIL. IF THEY ARE PRONE TO FAILURE THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED.
