Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured February 26, 2009, to April 29, 2012, and 2010-2011 Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured February 25, 2009, to December 12, 2010. On vehicles with a 3.0L engine, the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) may crack, causing a fuel leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the FDM flange with one that has a redesigned fuel supply port, free of charge. Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices were mailed to owners on December 13, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S41.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Vehicle speed control, Aug 6, 2019
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.
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 6, 2019
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.

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.
