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.

IN AUGUST I HAD GONE INTO MY OFFICE AND LOOKED OUT AND MY BACK WINDOW WAS DOWN..I THOUGHT I DIDN'T REMEMBER LOWERING IT. FOUND OUT IT HAD JUST DROPPED ON ITS OWN...NO NOISE FROM THE MOTOR, JUST DROPPED. AUGUST 31ST I PULLED UP WITH FRIENDS TO EAT AND WE GOT OUT AND I LOOKED BACK AND THE OTHER REAR WINDOW HAD FELL ALSO. SO NOW WITHIN 15 DAYS BOTH WINDOWS, BACK BEHIND DRIVERS SEAT AND THE ONE BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT GO BACK UP AND I AM BEING TOLD IT WILL BE OVER $500 TO REPAIR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE TWO WINDOWS COULD BECOME NON WORKING IN LESS THAN 15 DAYS APART. NO ONE AT FORD WILL HELP ME...I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU COULD GIVE ME. THANKS *TR

WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON ALONG WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL/POWER TRAIN WRENCH LIGHT AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKING. I RESTARTED THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO MOVE ABOUT A 10TH OF A MILE AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR ONLY FOR 2 DAYS NOW. I READ ONLINE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

Steering, Aug 15, 2014
FIRST INCIDENT: I WAS DRIVING ALONG RTE 95 HEADING TOWARDS THE TAPANZEE BRIDGE GOING 65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING WENT AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER, BUT THANKFULLY I FOUND A FAIRLY SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THEN I STARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. SECOND INCIDENT: MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON APRIL 11TH, 2013 WHEN SHE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN SHE BEGAN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET, THE POWER STEERING WENT AGAIN. LUCKILY SHE MADE IT HOME SAFELY AND INFORMED ME OF WHAT HAPPENED. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE. THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK ON. THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF AND AFTER AWHILE CAME BACK ON. WE HAD A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY PUT IN OUR FORD ESCAPE ON JUNE 6TH, 2013. LUCKILY WE HAD A FORD PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY PLAN AND THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED, BUT HAD TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. RECENTLY FORD HAS ANNOUNCED A SAFETY RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY ON FORD ESCAPES MANUFACTURED IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THAT SAFETY RECALL, YET I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING. WHAT WOULD I HAVE HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS POWER STEERING IF I HADN'T HAD A WARRANTY PLAN? I WANT FORD TO REIMBURSE MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE, BUT THEY SAY SINCE MY VIN NUMBER AT THIS TIME WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THEY WON'T REIMBURSE ME. WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN THIS WITH A BIG COMPANY LIKE FORD WHO WANTS TO SELL CARS IN GOOD FAITH. IT IS LUCKY FOR THEM THAT MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS NOT INJURED WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT IN MY FORD ESCAPE. *TR

Power train, Structure, Aug 9, 2014, crash
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A CVS PHARMACY, ABOUT TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK WHEN IT SURGED FORWARD AND INTO THE DOORS OF THE STORE. I WAS NOT INJURED BUT MORTIFIED THAT I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FIVE STAR FORD IN PLANO, TX. TODAY, I HAD MY STATE INSPECTION YESTERDAY AND ASKED IF THEY COULD PULL UP THE TROUBLE CODES ON MY COMPUTER. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE SHOP'S COMPUTER COULDN'T BUT HE HAD HIS OWN CODE READER THAT WOULD SHOW THE COMPLETE RECORD. HE DID AND TOLD ME IT WAS ERASED AND THERE WAS NOTHING ON IT. FIVE STAR FORD IN PLANO IS THE ONLY PLACE MY CAR HAS BEEN TO THAT COULD POSSIBLY DO THIS SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE'S ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY. A WARNING LIGHT (THE WRENCH ON THE FORD MODELS) CAME ON AS A I COASTED TO A SAFE SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY. STEERING GAVE OUT A BIT TOO. CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AFTER I FOUND A SAFE LOCATION TO STOP. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD DONE IT BEFORE A FEW TIMES BUT SINCE LAST EPISODE, HAVING RETURNED HOME ON SIDE STREETS, THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE AND IS SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY.
Air bags, Aug 1, 2014
THE DASHBOARD AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED LIT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WENT OFF. AS TIME HAS ELAPSED, THE LIGHT COMES ON MORE FREQUENTLY. BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAD 45-46,000 MILES, I DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS A PROBLEM. THE LIGHT WAS DIAGNOSED 2 DAYS AGO AT ROD BAKER FORD, PLAINFIELD IL. I WAS TOLD BY ROBERT THAT WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE AIR BAG MODULE HAS A SHORT. HE ALSO STATED HE HAS SEEN AND HEARD OF THIS BEFORE BUT BECAUSE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO MORE OWNERS, FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A CANDIDATE FOR A RECALL. MY CAR NOW HAS 49,000 MILES AND I'M FACED WITH A $1,000 REPAIR BILL FOR A KEY SAFETY SYSTEM. I UNDERSTAND COMPUTERIZED SYSTEMS MAY HAVE MORE PROBLEMS BUT DO NOT BELIEVE SAFETY SYSTEMS SHOULD BE HELD TO THE SAME 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY AS SOMETHING LIKE THE RADIO OR POWER WINDOWS. AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING IS, APPARENTLY, NOT AS SERIOUS AS THE BACK WINDOW. I WILL HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. AFTER OWNING NEW FORD PRODUCTS FOR THE PAST 42 YEARS, THIS WILL BE MY LAST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND MY CAR STOPPED RECEIVING INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AT 50 MPH ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED A MONTH AGO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AS WELL AS MY CAR TAKING OFF WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED POSITION. TODAY 7/31/14 THE GAS PEDAL FAILED TO WORK AGAIN WHEN IN A TURN THANK GOD NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. YOU GUYS KNOW THERE IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE WITH ALL THESE FORD ESCAPES BUT YET YOU LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FROM A REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE THE THROTTLE STAYS CLOSED ON THE HIGHWAY? PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE. MY WIFE AND KID ARE IN THIS CAR WHAT HAPPENS I GO TO PULL OUT AND IT DECIDES TO JUST STAY STUCK HALFWAY INTO THE LANE BAM I GET T BONED THEN HAVE TO SUE EVERYONE THAT KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR
