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.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT, THE LAST ONE ON 2/19/19 WHILE MY NEW DRIVING SON WAS ON THE WAY TO COLLEGE. I TOOK IT TO FORD 2/22/19 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $150 JUST TO DIAGNOSE AND MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED VIA VIN FOR THE CURRENT RECALL. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NTB AND THEY DIAGNOSED ERROR CODE B2278 WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. NTB REFERRED ME BACK TO FORD SINCE THEY SHOULD COVER THIS AND GAVE ME A LETTER SAYING SO. FORD STILL REFUSES TO COVER MY VEHICLE EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS. I JUST FINISHED MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY FORD SERVICE CENTER WHO ARE GOING TO CHARGE $600 TO REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSOR. THEY ARE ASKING FOR 1.5 DAYS TO REPAIR.

Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jan 17, 2019
WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ERROR LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH FOLLOWED BY CLICKING NOISES. SHORTLY AFTER MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS MAKING A TURN AT A MODERATE SPEED AND THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND I STRAINED MYSELF AND PULLED SEVERAL UPPER BODY MUSCLES IN THE PROCESS. I AM A SMALL WOMAN AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO MANUALLY TURN THE WHEEL. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS PART. EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT SHOWING ITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. IT IS A 2011 ESCAPE AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE, THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE DEFECTIVE PART ALMOST CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT, AND ALTHOUGH I AVOIDED THAT, I DID INJURE MYSELF IN AN EFFORT TO STEER MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE ASSIST OF THE POWER STEERING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY ENGAGED TWICE WITHIN A WEEK OF IT ORIGINALLY GOING OUT. BOTH TIMES IT REINGAGED WHILE I WAS TURNING MY VEHICLE AND AGAIN THIS SUDDEN CHANGE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. I'VE NOW HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THIS PART AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.

THE TRUCK HAS A LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. WHEN GOING IN SLOW SPEEDS, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN SPEED INCREASES, IT BECOMES LESS DIFFICULT TO TURN, HOWEVER IT IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. ON THE STREET FOR EXAMPLE, TURNING IN THE NEXT LANE CAN BE A BIT OF A HASSLE AND MAKING SHAP TURNS OR U-TURNS ARE IMPOSSIBLE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY BACK WINDSHIELD BROKE LOOSE FROM THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON MANCHESTER RD NO MORE THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR. UPON CHECKING ,ONE OF THE REAR HINGES HAD BROKE AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS HANIGING BY THE OTHER HINGE. FORTUNATELY FOR MYSELF AND PEOPLE BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY IT HELD ON. IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT THE OTHER HINGE IS ALSO ROTTED AND I'M VERY LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I WAS TELLING MY COWORKER WHO HAS THE SAME YEAR,MAKE , AND MODEL CAR ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND WE DECIDED TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT HERS. HER HINGES ARE ALSO ROTTED AND THE SAME THING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER AT ANY TIME. WE THEN WENT ON LINE WHERE WE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING IMAGE IS OF THE HINGES. A FRIEND CAME AND PUSHED THE WINDSHIELD BACK UP IN PLACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT DOWNPOURING INTO MY CAR. THEN WE DUCKTAPED IT TO GET ME HOME. I DID NOT WANT TO LET IT HANG AGAIN FOR THE PHOTOS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL FALL OF COMPLETELY. ONE IMAGE IS OF MY CAR , THE OTHER OF MY COWORKERS.

AFTER COMPLETING MY SHOPPING AT FRED MEYER, I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING. I WAS STATIONARY WAITING TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE. I TRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY TRYING TO STEER, BUT GOT IT HOME SAFELY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE ELECTRIC STEERING HAD GONE OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ME AROUND $1200.00 TO REPAIR. THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS FOR A LONG TIME. I HAD A 2010 FORD ESCAPE THAT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO IT. I SPENT THE MONEY TO FIX THAT ONE. I REALLY FEEL IT IS UNFAIR THAT I HAVE TO REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN WITH THIS 2011. THIS IS A TOTAL DANGER FOR ANYONE DRIVING IT AND FORD NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I DO ASK THAT YOU INTERVENE AND MAKE FORD RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011 FORD ESCAPES FOR THIS, RECALL NUMBER 14V284000, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THIS RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED AT A LATER DATE.

LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERING. WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. MY WIFE COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. HAPPENED DURING NORMAL DRIVING WHEN MAKING TURNS. BOTH TIMES IT REVERTED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. CONSIDER THIS LOSS OF STEERING A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION
