Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2001-2008 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured March 31, 2001, to September 1, 2009. The affected vehicles are equipped with either a 2.3L or 3.0L engine and have had their CD4E transmission replaced with remanufactured one that was rebuilt between June 11, 2015 through July 15, 2015. These service repair part transmissions have a shift lever bolt that may not be properly tightened. As a result, the shift control lever could disengage from the transmission without warning.
If the shift lever disengages from the transmission, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the gear selection indicator may show that the transmission is in the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not actually be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmissions and either tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S28.

Suspension, front, wheel bearingJun 3, 2015
The Timken Company (Timken) is recalling certain aftermarket front wheel bearings, part number 510072, sold from January 22, 2015, to May 21, 2015, to be used as service parts on 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2001-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles. The affected wheel bearings have incorrect dimensions of a 42mm bore, 76mm outer dimension, and 39mm width, instead of a 42mm bore, 78mm outer dimension and a 45mm width.
Use of an incorrectly sized wheel bearing can adversely affect the braking and steering of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Timken has begun notifying distributors who will offer purchasers replacement wheel bearings, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 2015. Owners may contact Timken customer service at 1-866-984-6536.

Hybrid propulsion systemSep 3, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 Ford Escape hybrid electric vehicles manufactured October 13, 2003, to June 20, 2008, and 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner hybrid electric vehicles manufactured June 10, 2005, to June 20, 2008. The coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail resulting in the hybrid electronics overheating.
If the hybrid electronics system overheats, it may shut down the powertrain, resulting in a stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the original Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump with an improved brushless pump, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S19.

Steering, electric power assist systemMay 29, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured August 18, 2006, through September 11, 2010. The affected vehicles have a steering torque sensor that may not be able to properly detect driver steering input. As a result, the system could remove the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power steering control module (PSCM) and the instrument cluster module, free of charge. If a vehicle shows a history of a loss of the torque sensor signal or fault codes relating to the PSCM when the vehicle is brought in for the recall remedy, the affected components will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 18, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S05.

Steering, Sep 30, 2018, crash
THE AUTOMATIC STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET 30 MPH LAST NIGHT. AS SHE SLOWED AND TRIED TO CORRECT, SHE WAS UNABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION AS A RESULT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED TO A SECOND DAUGHTER. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE FOLLOWING THE MOST RECENT ISS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT FORD WAS NEGLIGENT DURING THE RECALL REPAIR. FORD RECALLED THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ONLY UPDATED SOFTWARE RATHER THAN FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS WAS A DESIGN FAILURE BY FORD PUTTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTERS AT RISK. PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS REPAIR WILL COST BETWEEN $3,500 AND $5,000. AS THIS WAS IDENTIFIED AS A PREVIOUS POTENTIAL FAILURE DUE TO THE FORD ENGINEERING DEFICIENCY, HOW CAN THEY BE EXONERATED FROM RESPONSIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS AND CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE CAR STILL SLOWED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THE ABS CONTROL ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND TO BE INOPERABLE - THIS UNIT IS BOTH A HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT ON THE ESCAPE HYBRID. THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY THE UNIT AND IT ALSO FAILED. THE FIX WAS OVER $6000 FROM FORD. THIS CAR HAD 221541 MILES ON IT, SO THIS IN EFFECT TOTALED THE CAR, WHICH WAS OTHERWISE IN DECENT SHAPE AND STILL RAN VERY WELL. CHECKING ON THE WEB - WE WERE LUCKY AS SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS UNIT FAILING HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH MUCH WORSE RESULTS TO THE OWNERS WHILE DRIVING.

A REOCCURRING SOFT BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE. SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER AND HARD BRAKING INCIDENT WHERE THE ABS IS ENGAGED. AFTER A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK THE PEDAL TRAVEL AND FEEL RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED IT.
Service brakes, Sep 28, 2018
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, GETTING READY TO STOP AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKES BARELY BRAKED, AND I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. IT'S LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME NOW. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT HE SEES THAT PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF FORDS.

AFTER SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, I STARTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS I STARTED TO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY SUV STOPPED WORKING, A DASHBOARD LIGHT TURNED ON (DIDN'T SEE WHICH ONE), AND AN AUDIBLE WARNING ALERT TURNED ON. I HAD TROUBLE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THINKING I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD, BUT EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL A FEW SECONDS AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN. IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR HOME (A FEW MILES). I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THIS HAPPENED.

I PAID FOR MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE AND WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN JULY 2018. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR FOR SERVICE ROUTINELY WITH FORD DEALERSHIP AND JUST RECEIVED SERVICE THE WEEK PRIOR. I EXPLAINED I WAS GOING FOR A TRIP TO AZ (400 MILE ROUNDTRIP) AND NEEDED A FULL CHECK AND SERVICE. EVERYTHING PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. ON MY RETURN TRIP UP A HILL, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER AND LIMPED HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND CODES WERE NOT COMING UP FOR THE WRENCH LIGHT AND AFTER KEEPING IT FOR ADDITIONAL DAY, THE 2ND AND 4TH GEARS ARE OUT AND IT WILL TAKE A WEEK TO FIX. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE AND I JUST HIT THE 90,000 MILE MARK. UNBELIEVABLE THAT A TRANSMISSION GOES OUT AT A 90,000 MILE. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE VEHICLE AFTER PAYING SO MUCH FOR IT AND MAINTAINING ALL SERVICES. NO DISCOUNTS WERE OFFERED.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED A LOUD BUMPING NOISE... MY BACK PASSENGER WHEEL WELL IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY, WHICH HAS AFFECTED MY SHOCK MOUNTING BRACKET. EVERY LITTLE BUMP CAUSES IT TO SHAKE . THE BRACKET ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THE PLASTIC AND THERE IS A HOLE INSIDE THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I SEE SO MANY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I KNOW THAT THE FORD ESCAPE 2001- 2004 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND ITS DISCONCERTING THAT THEY ARE IGNORING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE 2005-2008 ESCAPE. HOW MANY MORE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THEM TO AT LEAST INVESTIGATE THIS UNSAFE, REOCCURRING ISSUE?! HOPEFULLY , SOMETHING WILL BE DONE SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I STARTED SEEING ABS LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASH AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAD TO SLAM SO HARD ON THE PEDAL FOR IT TO BARELY COME TO A STOP ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN A SHOPPING CENTER. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE IS BAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS GENERATION FORD ESCAPE HYBRIDS AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS WITH SOME GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FAULTY ABS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL ROCKED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT WARNING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY, BRIDGE, REGULAR STREET, TRAFFIC. A RED WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON WITH "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND THE CAR WILL QUICKLY SLOW DOWN. IT WILL GO REALLY SLOW REGARDLESS OF STEPPING ON THE GAS. ONCE I PULL OVER I HAVE T STOP THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY OR ON THE BRIDGE (I WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO).

BRAKE FAILURE. DURING NORMAL DRIVING I WAS COMING TO AN INTERSECTION TO STOP. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS WAS ALMOST NON EXISTENT. THE ABS LIGHT AND A MESSAGE INDICATING 'REGEN SYSTEM DISABLED' CAME ON. FORD HAS DESIGNED A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT CAN SIMPLY "DISABLE" ITSELF AND LEAVE A PERSON WITHOUT EFFECTIVE STOPPING POWER. I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROADWAY TO AVOID HITTING CARS IN FRONT OF ME, RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE TO MY FRONT BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

THE REAR INNER FENDER RUSTED OUT AND THE REAR STRUT BROKE THROUGH ITS MOUNTING BRACKET WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP RELATIVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND MAKE IT HOME SAFELY. UPON DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VEHICLES SOLD IN THE BOTHER UNITED STATES AND CANADA AS STATED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND FORUMS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS MY PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I TRAVEL 120-125 MILES PER DAY ROUND TRIP TO WORK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE HAD I NOT HEARD THE NOISE AND BRACES MYSELF PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BECOMING UNSTABLE. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT A FAMILY COULD BE RIDING IN A THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND NOT HAVE ADEQUATE REACTION AND BECOME A VEHICLE CASUALTY STATISTIC.
Service brakes, Sep 5, 2018
THE VEHICLE'S HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAS FAILED. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ABS DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS AROUND $6000, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I OPENED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO.

REGENERATIVE HYBRID BRAKES DISABLED.. VEHICLE BRAKES IN "FAILSAFE" MODE, WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO SLAM THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST TO SLOW DOWN. RAN THROUGH THREE RED LIGHTS UNWILLINGLY. THE FORD ESCAPE HYBRID HAS MANY REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE ABS AND REGENERATIVE SYSTEM FAILING (A QUOTED $5000 FIX). THESE VEHICLES ARE SO RARE, AND PROBABLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE NO LONGER DRIVEN AND INSTEAD ON THE FORUMS WITH A LAUNDRY LIST OF COMPLAINTS AROUND THIS ISSUE.

IN 2014 I TOOK MY ESCAPE INTO FORD FOR THE RECALL. WEEKS LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE...THEN BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. FORD SAID I'D HAVE TO PAY $1600 TO GET THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR REPLACED, AND THEIR PART ON THE RECALL WAS DONE WITH HOOKING IT UP TO A COMPUTER. BUT I COULDN'T TURN IT. I DRIVE A 3 YEAR OLD, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO PAY TO FIX OR BUY SOMETHING NEW. I BOUGHT A FORD BC I THOUGHT THEY CARED ABOUT SAFETY. AND STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I PUT LIVES IN DANGER BC I NEED TO WORK. AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THERE. HELP!!!!

ABS LIGHTS CAME ON WENT AND GOT IT CHECKED AND ITS THE BREAK SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER $5,000 AND THAT EVEN IF THEY FIXED IT I DONT GET A WARRANTY FOR THE FIXED SYSTEM AND THAT IT COULD REOCCUR. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR A LOT. CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS ISSUE CHECKED INTO. $5,000 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX A CAR AND IT NOT BE 100 PERCENT FIXED
