I have an open recall on my 2014 Ford Escape. It says the date here was June 10th, 2022, however I was not informed until I got the letter in the mail on July 19th, 2022. I was going to leave to the grocery store on Sunday the 17th of July, when the shift gear was not at all working and it hasn’t been working ever since. I am just thankful that it happened at home and not any where else. However, I do wish I was emailed or sent a letter earlier to have prevented me from having this problem.

I have owned this Ford for 3 years now. It uses coolent excessively and I have replaced many parts. The Catalyic Converter went out, all motor mounts, font and rear suspension, engine burp valve, faulty throttle body, fried drivers side bulb socket, wiper arms stripped, weather stipping corroding on windshield near hood, front window cracked and damaged, coolent temperature control sensor and firmwware update not automated and dealer charges $250 to update car software for engine improved performance. Sluggish, bogging and unresponsive car until software update and throttle body repair. All around a lemon for as many parts I've put on in a short amount of time. I've spent over $3300 on parts alone. The dealer in Upland services the cars oil but fails to fill the fluids, spills oil on my spark plugs and ruins the fasteners to the skid plate by over torqueing them. It has been the...

My vehicle suddenly displays a “Transmission Fault: Service Now” which rendered the vehicle unable to drive. The transmission has issues and it is a common issue among 2014 Ford Escapes. There should be a recall issued since it is a common problem. https://www.copilotsearch.com/posts/ford-escape-transmission-problems/ https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/cu2gki/i_need_advice_about_what_to_do_with_this_car_14/ Driving on a hill and all of the sudden car wouldn't go forward as the gear stopped shifting.

Engine shutoff in the middle of a busy road after having vehicle for 3 days.

I had a faulty instrument cluster repaired, which apparently is a recurring issue with this model of vehicle. In fact, my car is only 3 months outside the period that would have qualified it for a recall for this exact issue. It’s clear that this vehicle should have qualified for recall, as the mechanic who repaired it was happy to admit. Myself and other Escape owners who have experienced this same issue with slightly newer cars should be eligible as well.

The wipers became slow and erratic, then stopped when headlights were turned on. The lights also were affected as they became dim or out depending on the selection of Hi, Low or Driving. The wipers could have failed during a storm, or the headlights could have become inoperative with no warning. The problem was reproduced at the dealer and inspected as well. There was no indication that there was a problem until the wipers and lights were operated. There could have been more systems that were failing we did not notice as the problem was all of the grounding wires were on painted surfaces. There are several Service Bulletins on this car and the Ford Focus in the same model year range. I have correspondence from the dealer that indicates the problem. Although our car did not fall under these bulletins, I feel this should be a recall since any...

2014 FORD ESCAPE TITANIUM TAKEN IN FOR EVERY RECALL, AND MAINTAINED. WHILE DRIVING ON A 3 LANE ROAD GOING 40 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON FULL SPEED (NOT RAINING) AND WOULD NOT/COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEY WENT DOWN TO SLOW SPEED. THEN THE CAR LOST POWER, NO STEERING OR BRAKES. NO WAY TO STOP OR STEER THE CAR. IT SLOWED AND FINALLY CAME TO A CLUNKY STOP. FLAMES WERE COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR ONTO THE ROAD AT THAT TIME. WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES THE FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, UP AND OVER THE HOOD ONTO THE TOP AND OVER THE CAR COMPLETELY.

PURCHASED FROM FORD DEALERSHIP WHILE LIVING IN NEW YORK. UNDER THE WARRANTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL LINE WAS REPAIRED IN 2016 (FORD CO), I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING ANY RECALLS FROM FORD COMP. SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AND I HAD TO PAY $2K TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS. I MOVED TO WAXHAW, NC IN 2017.

I'VE HAD THE DOOR LATCHES REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUED, THEY SAY THE PANELS WON'T BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTIES I HAVE BUT I TOLD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE LATCHES THAT WERE RECALLED THAT MY DOOR PANELS ARE DOING THIS IF THE LATCHES WERE GOOD AND NOT RECALLED IN THE FIRST PLACE I WOULD NOT HAVE THE ISSUE.

IN 2014, I BOUGHT A NEW FORD ESCAPE FROM RHINEBECK FORD IN RHINEBECK NY. IT REMAINED IN PRISTINE CONDITION UNTIL ITS UNTIMELY 'DEATH' ON AUGUST 10, 2020. PRIOR TO AUGUST 10, IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES TO ADDRESS SAFETY RECALLS. ON AUGUST 10 MY WIFE, SON AND NIECE BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO RHINEBECK FORD. AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE AND CYLINDERS HAVE COOLANT IN THEM, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS FULL OF METAL FILINGS. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES COMBINED MEAN THAT THE CAR IS DISEASED; HOWEVER RHINEBECK FORD IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THE CAUSE OF DEATH. FORTUNATELY THESE DANGEROUS DEFECTS DID NOT RESULT IN INJURY TO MY FAMILY BUT THEY CERTAINLY DO REPRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. ON AUGUST 10, THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 108,000 MILES...

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN YOU START YOUR VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES AND INFORMATION DISPLAY MAY BE INOPERATIVE. IN ADDITION, ALL WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS, AND AUDIBLE WARNINGS MAY ALSO NOT FUNCTION. INTERMITTENT STALLING, AND INCREASES OF SPEED WITHOUT USER INTERFERENCE
#11222115 |
AROUND 60,000 MILES MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILURES DURING WHICH ALL GAUGES INCLUDING GAS, TEMPERATURE, AND SPEEDOMETER, FAIL TO LIGHT UP OR MOVE AND NONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS (IE: SERVICE ENGINE, LOW FUEL, ETC) ARE ABLE TO LIGHT UP AS THE WHOLE DISPLAY IS SHUT DOWN. THIS ALSO FREQUENTLY IMPACTS MY TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY, STEREO, AND A/C/HEAT, AS NOTHING WILL TURN ON, LIGHT UP, OR WORK. THE ISSUE BEGAN A FEW RANDOM TIMES WHEN I FIRST STARTED MY VEHICLE AROUND 6/12/19, BUT EVERYTHING WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES OF DRIVING. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE ISSUE STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, ETC. I AM STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES, FOR NOW, BUT I AM UNABLE TO SEE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS THE SPEEDOMETER OR WARNING LIGHTS.
