Fuel system, gasoline, delivery, fuel pumpOct 26, 2016
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 CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. UPDATED 05/26/2017 *JS

Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 4, 2017
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.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE IT. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING. THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE DING IN MY CAR AND IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, OR SIMILAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK (THANK GOODNESS) AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THEM BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN, I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL HONOR RECALLS FROM READING NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH RESPONSES I HAVE READ, THEY ARE NO LONGER HONORING THEM. I AM A 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS SHOULD BE AN ONGOING RECALL, THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR... THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE... WITHOUT WARNING IT GOES OUT? THIS COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE. *TR
Steering, Jan 27, 2017
A FEW WEEKS AGO I BEGAN NOTICING THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE (REALLY MORE OF A JERKING BACK AND FORTH MOTION) WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. SOON IT WAS DOING IT EVERY TIME THE CAR SLOWED OR STOPPED. NOW I CAN FEEL THE JERKING OF THE WHEEL EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A FIRESTONE FOR SERVICE WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS PART OF A FORD RECALL (14-S05) AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND THAT I NEED TO PAY $1000 FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED FORD WHO SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE POWER STEERING CAN COMPLETELY GO OUT (WHICH THEY KNOW). MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUES GETTING FORD TO HONOR THE RECALL AND FIX THEIR STEERING COLUMN. *TR

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

I SENT THIS EMAIL TO FORD IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT WHERE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT A DEER WHICH LANDED ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WHICH SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF TINY SHARDS OF GLASS. FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE BEING DEALING WITH THOUSANDS OF TINY SHARDS EMBEDDED THROUGH OUT MY BODY (FACE, LIPS, HANDS, ARMS, LEGS, NECK, CHEST) WHICH OVER TIME ARE WORKING THEIR WAY OUT. IT IS VERY PAINFUL AND LEAVING SCARS AND DISRUPTING MY SLEEP ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, I TURNED ON THE HEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HUNDREDS OF SHARDS OF GLASS BLEW OUT THE HEATER VENTS. MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. I THINK YOU SHOULD TEST THE WINDSHIELDS OF SIMILAR CARS FROM THAT LOT TO MAKE SURE THE SAFETY GLASS WAS PROPERLY KILNED OR WHATEVER TREATMENT PROCESS SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT POTENTIALLY EXPERIENCE THE SAME INCIDENT. I QUESTION ALSO IF THE IMPACT EXPLODED THE GLASS IN A SIMILAR WAY THE REAR WINDOW HATCH GLASS THAT IS FREQUENTLY FOUND ON-LINE AND IF THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WINDSHIELDS HAD SOME TYPE OF QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE. AT A LOST OF WORDS GIVEN THIS IS THE SECOND EMAIL I AM SENDING TO YOUR CORPORATION REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. I CAN BE REACHED AT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
