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.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET....THE BACK DRIVER-SIDE LIFT GATE HINGE CRACKED IN HALF AND MY GLASS WINDOW WAS HANGING BY A THREAD. SUPER DANGEROUS TO OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. LUCKILY IT DID NOT FALL TO THE ROAD AND SHATTER, OR FLY OFF THE VEHICLE HITTING SOMEONE, OR THING, OR CAR. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR/ CORROSION. OTHER VEHICLES 'YOUNGER' THAN MINE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! FORD NEEDS TO BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE! SHAME ON THEM! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE AN ACTION IS TAKEN? EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH. AND STRESS AND WORRY WHILE DRIVING WITH THE BACK WINDOW LITERALLY FLAPPING IN THE WIND! WTF? AGAIN. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T CAUSE DAMAGE TO SOMEONE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I REALLY PRAY THIS CAN BECOME A RECALL ITEM, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED! OMG! AWAITING REIMBURSEMENT IN OHIO!

ABS & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ON; CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM & REGEN BRAKES DISABLED MESSAGE CENTER. BRAKING IS HARDER, UNASSISTED. NO ABS, TIRES CAN LOCK UP ON BRAKING. FORD DEALER WANTS $4900 FOR THE HCU PART + LABOR. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE; AND THAT IT CAN LEAVE A VEHICLE WITH NO BRAKES; A SAFETY HAZZARD.
Service brakes, Aug 7, 2018, crash
WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED YELLOW, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE RED BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAID "REGEN BRAKES DISABLED". THE NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK. THE MANUAL (FAIL SAFE) BRAKING SYSTEM WAS INADEQUATE TO STOP PROPERLY. I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND THE CAR STILL DID NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. AFTER MUCH ROLLING, THE CAR FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, BUT HIT A POLE IN THE PROCESS CAUSING A CRACK IN THE FRONT BUMPER. DUE TO THE LONG STOPPING PROCESS, THE POLE WAS UNAVOIDABLE. IT WAS THE POLE, THE DITCH, OR ANOTHER CAR, SO I HAD TO CHOOSE TO BUMP INTO THE POLE FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DAMAGE AND TO BE SURE NOT TO HURT ANYONE ELSE. TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN!

I WAS IN A BUSY SHOPPING PLAZA AND CAME UP TO A 4 WAY STOP. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES, THE CAR DIDN'T STOP! A MESSAGE READING "REGEN BRAKES DISABLED" CAME UP ON THE SCREEN, FOLLOWED BY "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM". BOTH THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH. I TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AS SOMETIMES WHEN IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL HICCUP THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE SAME MESSAGE REAPPEARED AND I DROVE STRAIGHT TO A LOCAL GARAGE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DEFINITIVELY DETERMINE THE ISSUE AND REFERRED ME TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. A FEW DAYS LATER, FORD ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT WHICH WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. ALL OF THE PIECES WITHIN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ARE IN TACT, EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE INSPECTED DURING ROUTINE TUNE UPS LOOKS FINE, BUT SUDDENLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE BRAIN OF THE CAR CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO MAKE IT STOP.

MY KEY FOB UNLOCKED THE CAR, AS USUAL, PUT CHILD IN. GOT IN DRIVERS SIDE. PUT KEY IN IGNITION. ALL LOCKS LOCKED! CAR DID NOT START. I HIT KEY FOB AND THE PAD TO UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES... UNLOCKED MY DOOR... I ASSUMED ALL DOORS. WOULD NOT OPEN DOOR WHERE DAUGHTER WAS IN CAR SEAT IN BACK (BACK PASSENGER SIDE). KEY FOB OR DOOR UNLOCK WOULD NOT WORK TO UNLOCK IT. KEY FOB DID NOT WORK AT ALL AFTER THAT FIRST TIME AND DID NOT UNLOCK HER SIDE. I GOT HER OUT ON DRIVER'S SIDE BACKSEAT. WE HAVE VIDEO SURVEILLENCE SO INCIDENT SHOULD BE ON THERE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. END OF 100' DRIVEWAY. NO NEIGHBORS IN SIGHT. TERRIFYING TO THINK IF THE KEY FOB HADNT OPENED MY DOOR THAT LAST AND APPARENTLY ONE AND ONLY TIME, IF ID BE STUCK IN HOT CAR WITH DAUGHTER IN BACK SEAT.

LOST MY POWER STEERING AS I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ALMOST ROLLED AND CRASHED THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND FORD I S SIMPLY DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL 14S05 ON JAN. 1ST 2018. THEY SIMPLY DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE.

THE REGEN BREAKS DISABLED LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THE BREAKS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, IF AT ALL. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE BREAKS SOMETIMES LOCK ON AND THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE AT ALL. UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 40 MPH. IF YOU ATTEMPT, THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE BREAKS SMOKE. I TOOK IT TO FORD FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY INFORMED ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE THE BEAK SYSTEM AND THE HYBRID SYSTEM BEING INTEGRATED. THE PART BY ITSELF IS $4200 AND THE VEHICLE BLUE BOOKS FOR ABOUT $3000 AT THE MOST. THE VEHICLE WON'T START OR EVEN TURN OVER. THE BATTERY IS GOOD.

THE POWER STEERING WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING NEAR ACCIDENTS AND IT COULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF I HAD NOT BEEN CAUTIOUS OR STRONG ENOUGH TO TURN THE VEHICLE MANUALLY. IT COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AT TIMES.

Service brakes, Jul 25, 2018, crash
MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID WOULD NOT STOP WITH BOTH FEET PUSHING TO THE FLOOR. CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REGEN BRAKE DISABLED AS MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR BOTH ME AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I'M ALSO A BIKER AND I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ON A BIKE OR A PEDESTRIAN. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND THE FACT THAT I WAS UNAWARE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND WHY. I HAVE FOUR FORDS AND NOW I'M CONCERNED TO DRIVE THEM.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I GOT IN TO START THE VEHICLE. UPON REVERSING IT IMMEDIATELY LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL, SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND I SAW THE LETTERS 'SAFELY STOP' APPEAR AS WELL AS THE RED TRIANGLE (PER AUTO MANUAL THE RED TRIANGLE IS DESCRIBED AS 'MASTER VEHICLE ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING LAMP' AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT AT ALL. I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. OFTEN IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL, BUT WHEN IT DID THEN THE RED TRIANGLE WOULD APPEAR AGAIN & CAR WOULDN'T BUDGE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE, WHEN THE VEHICAL JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE RPM WOULD CLIMB, BUT THE VEHICAL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICAL OFF THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED IF I TURNED THE VEHICAL OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WOULD MOVE UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO 3RD GEAR AFTER THAT IT WOULD JUST REV UP AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I LIMPED IT THE 5 MILES TO HOME AND PARKED IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICAL. SOMETHING REALLY SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IT IS SAD THAT SO MANY OF THESE HAVE LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND ARE HAVING MAJOR POWER TRAIN ISSUES. MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES.

VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION. THERE IS DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE DUE TO A FAULTY IGNITION CYLINDER REQUIRING THE OPERATOR TO HAVE TO PUSH THE KEY IN, OFTEN WITH GREAT PRESSURE, THEN TWIST THE KEY TO GET THE CAR TO START. EVENTUALLY THE IGNITION MECHANISM WILL FAIL COMPLETELY REQUIRING THE ENTIRE IGNITION HOUSING WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED AND AT GREAT EXPENSE. I WAS LEFT STRANDED WHEN THE CAR FAILED TO START AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. REPAIRS COST OVER $500. THE PROBLEM NEVER AFFECTED ME DURING NORMAL DRIVING, ONLY WHEN THE CAR NEEDED TO BE STARTED. A SIMPLE SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER ESCAPE OWNERS REPORT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE SO IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THIS IS A RANDOM PROBLEM OR THE RESULT OF NORMAL WEAR. INDEED, THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED BY FORD. HOWEVER, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE, AS HAPPENED TO ME, THE CAR CAN AND WILL LEAVE THE DRIVER STRANDED WHICH, IT SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING, IS NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE BUT ALSO A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE PROBLEM REMEDIED BY FORD. SINCE I ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR I THINK IT ONLY FAIR THAT FORD REIMBURSE ME THE COSTS.
