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.

CROSSING TRAFFIC TO TURN LEFT, THE CAR SPUTTERED AND PRACTICALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE MEDIAN AND STOP. THIS WAS ABOUT THE 8TH TIME THE CAR HAD STALLED IN MOTION OR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD BUT WAS THE SCARIEST AS AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED IF THE ONCOMING CARS WERE TRAVELLING FASTER OR IF I HAD BEEN HURRYING AND TRYING TO MAKE THE TURN BETWEEN VEHICLES. THE GARAGE SAYS THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE!

COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION, BUT NEVER STALLED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING. WE TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT DROVE FINE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON THE HWY TO SCHOOL AND CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHICH LOST ALL POWER PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO RESTART AND HAD TO WAIT PLACES TO ME (FATHER) AND THEN IT RESTARTED THEN SHE DROVE ON TO SCHOOL THEN SHE TOOK CAR ON TO DEALERSHIP AND DEALERSHIP PERFORMED SEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY THAT WAS GOING OUT.
Power train, Engine, Sep 6, 2013
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES PER HOUR, WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR JUST STOP GOING THE WRENCH LIGHT SHOWED UP ON THE DASH, THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION BY COASTING OFF THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR SAME THING HAPPENED , HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, NARROWLY ESCAPING BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. ON WAY HOME THE CAR DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS COASTING AROUND THE CORNER. THAT'S WHEN I TOOK I TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY TO BE TOLD THE PART. THE THROTTLE BODY IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SEEMS A RECALL IS IN ORDER. OVER 700.00 TO BE FIXED, PLUS POSSIBLY 3 WEEKS WAITING FOR THE PART.
Power train, Sep 6, 2013
DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWING, TRAFFIC WAS CLEARING AND EVERYONE ACCELERATING BACK TO SPEED AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED AND MY ESCAPE JUST DIED. TRIED TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT KEPT DYING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. I COULD GET IT STARTED AGAIN, BUT COULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 5-10 MPH. I HAD TO CROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, VERY HAZARDOUS. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS TOLD THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT.
Engine, Sep 6, 2013
WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I LOST ALL MOTIVE POWER, AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THEN, AFTER A MINUTE, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. IT WORKED BUT I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY INDICATED THAT IF THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON (THERE WAS NONE) THEN IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THREE DAYS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AGAIN. AGAIN, I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT, AND DROVE OFF. IT WAS IN THICK TRAFFIC SO WE WERE MOVING SLOWLY FOR THE HIGHWAY, BUT AGAIN IT WAS BETWEEN 40-50 MILES/HOUR. I BELIEVE THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE INCIDENTS DETAILED IN THE CURRENT OPEN INVESTIGATION, PE13003, OPENED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. A RECALL OF THESE FORD ESCAPES NEEDS TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR CAR TO SUDDENLY STOP FOR NO REASON ESPECIALLY IF THE SUV IS CARRIED SMALL CHILDREN (MINE WAS NOT). I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL I DID SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE, AND THE FORD DEALER NEVER MENTIONED IT TO ME AT ALL WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. IN FACT, THEY SAID IT "JUST MIGHT GO AWAY". THEY DIDN'T APPEAR TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY AT ALL.

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT & THEY DID A SMOKE TEST & DETERMINED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS VAPORS FROM THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM - TO BE SPECIFIC THE FUEL FILLER AREA. IT COST ME $500 TO FIX. THE SHOP SAID MY CAR WAS LEAKING A LOT OF GAS VAPORS WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THANK GOODNESS I DONT SMOKE. THERE SEEM TO BE QUITE A FEW OF THESE COMPLAINTS & THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. APARENTLY FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD - FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2006 & YET THEY STILL PUT THEM IN VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ENTERING A RAMP, THE ENGINE JUST LOST POWER AND THERE WAS A RAPID DECELERATION. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A WRENCH SYMBOL LIT UP ON THE DASH. I TOWED THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER IN BETTENDORF IOWA. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS BECAUSE THERE WAS 5 CARS AHEAD OF ME WAITING FOR THE SAME PARTS. SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT COULD HAVE CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB

WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AROUND 50 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING, LOST POWER. VEHICLE DID NOT DIE, JUST HAD NO GAS POWER, HAD TO COAST OUT OF ROADWAY.

DRIVING ON I80 WEST, WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST POWER AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE, LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SAW THE "WRENCH" ICON LIT. PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE SPEED AND LIMPED INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT. TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND CONSULTED THE USER MANUAL AND FOUND THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE "POWERTRAIN/THROTTLE CONTROL". TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AFTER STARTING THE CAR. HEADED BACK TO HOME VIA SIDE STREETS AND HAD ONE MORE INCIDENT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES. FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE AS BEFORE AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME (6 MILES). IF THIS HAD HAPPENED OUT IN THE COUNTRY MILES FROM NOWHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY WORRIED. PARKED CAR UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAY AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE SERVICE. TOOK CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING(9/4) AND WAS TOLD LATER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. NEW ONE WAS BACK ORDERED TO OCTOBER 26TH. SERVICE TECHNICIAN(KYLE) TOLD ME I COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANT, SO A RENTAL CAR WILL NOT BE COVERED. I CAN'T AFFORD $1800 FOR A RENTAL, SO NOW WHAT? DEALER SYMPATHETIC, BUT UNABLE TO HELP. *JB

I JUST EXITED THE PA TURNPIKE WHEN MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SPUTTER. THE RPMS WERE FLUCTUATING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT AM GLAD THIS HAPPENED AFTER I GOT OFF THE TURNPIKE WHERE I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND HAD NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF TO. IT HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND, AS I WAS TRAVELING APX 55 MPH ON PA RT 422 AND AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON COUNTY LINE RD AT APX. 40 MPH. EACH TIME THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN. MY VEHICLE WOULD SPUTTER AND RPMS WOULD FLUCTUATE AS THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS THE LAST TIME SINCE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH SHOULDER FOR ME TO GET MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AS THE ENGINE DIED. ALL TEMPERATURES WERE FINE AND MY FLUIDS ARE GOOD. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE VALE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS UNSAFE ISSUE! *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH I FELT A JOLT LIKE THE CAR HAD DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY WENT DOWN TO 40 MPH. WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE THE 40 MPH. I MOVED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, VERY SHAKY, AND I CALLED FOR A TOW. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY.*JB

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, LET COOL FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES IT DIED AGAIN. LET IT COOL AGAIN AN IT DID THIS 4 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO DEALER.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TODAY A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR TWO OF THOSE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. FORD NEEDS TO CHECK AND RECALL THESE CARS, BUT THEY NEED TO SEE BODY COUNTS BEFORE THEY SEE A NEED TO DO SOMETHING.*JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (WRENCH) CAME ON. THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHICH WAS STILL RUNNING AT A LOW RPM. I THEN RE-STARTED THE CAR, THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AND THE CAR THEN RAN NORMALLY.

THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ERROR CODE P2111. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER, THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FOLLOW. ONCE THE CAR IS POWERED OFF, THEN BACK ON IT RUNS AGAIN. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS. *JB

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE DOING A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS. ITS THROWING ITSELF INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND POWER FAILURE WITH THE THROTTLE AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS. AND NO POWER WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. I HAVE READ UP ON ALL THE REPORTS AND THE INVESTIGATION. SO I PROCEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO TOWN EAST FORD IN MESQUITE TEXAS WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. THE SERVICE TECH GUY AT TOWN EAST FORD. REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE INVESTIGATION AND REFUSED TO CHECK MY CAR OUT WITHOUT ME PAYING HIM A BUNCH OF MONEY AND REFUSED TO CALL MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WITHOUT COLLECTING THE MONEY UP FRONT. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP IS NOT PART OF FORD SO THEREFORE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON AND I CAN SHOW HIM ALL I WANT TO ON THE INTERNET BUT HE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PAY ALL THE MONEY UP FRONT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE TECH WAS VERY RUDE AND I FINALLY LEFT THERE WITHOUT GETTING MY CAR FIXED AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP IN SERIOUS WRECKS FROM IT AND THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO HONOR THE PRODUCTS AND VEHICLE THEY SELL OF FORD. *JB
