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.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JAN 2018 BUT THE FORD DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE REPAIR AS OF 5/8/18. THE RECALL STATES A FUEL LEAK IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE INCREASES THE RISK OF A FIRE SO I AM VERY CONCERNED HAVING TO DRIVE MY AUTOMOBILE. TODAY I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA IF/WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE PARTS IN.

PURCHASED CAR USED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. HAVE HAD VERY HARD SHIFTS 1-->2, BUT TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED AT TIME OF PURCHASE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK. AT TIME OF PURCHASE CAR HAD ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 51K MILES. SHIFT IS NOW EXTREMELY HARD 1->2, 2->1. CAR GOT STUCK AND WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE LAST WEEK AND I ENDED UP STUCK ON A RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO DRIVE FORMWARD AND IT TOOK 5-6 TRIES. CAR WAS THEN STUCK IN FIRST GEAR FOR ABOUT 2 MILES, THEN SUDDENLY SHIFTED AND WAS NORMAL. IT HAS LOST ALL FORWARD MOTION AT TIMES SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, CAR UNABLE TO SHIFT. NOW NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 51K MILES ON THE CAR. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS DRIVEN VERY LIGHTLY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR COME OUT OF GEAR (?) WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC.

TAKATA RECALL- HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE FLANGE REPLACED AND HAVING ISSUES STARTING , LONG CRANKING ISSUES. FORD DEALER REFUSED TO BELIEVE THAT THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T INSTALL IT PROPERLY. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. I BELIEVE THE TECHNICIAN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED THE PART AND NOW EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE IT HAS LONG CRANKING ISSUES. I'M WORRIED IT MIGHT MESS WITH MY STARTER OR FUEL PUMP.

THERE IS FUEL LEAKING OUT FROM THE RECALLED LOCATION PART. FORD AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP ARE WAITING ON BACKORDERED PARTS WITH NO ETA FOR NEARLY 8 WEEKS SINCE WE FIRST REPORTED THE LEAK ON MARCH 5, 2018. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO LOANER CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN SEEN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE PART ANYTIME SOON. THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY DRYING OUT MEANWHILE I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN OR REPAIRED. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO BOTH FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH THE ORIGINAL CASE NUMBER CAS-14437322-W6L8V8 DEALING WITH ROBERTA WEBB, FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER. MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE SPOKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER AT SHAKER FORD IN WATERTOWN, CT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. I FEEL AS IF THIS ISSUE IS BEING MISHANDLED AND REDIRECTED AND THAT IT IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG TO REACH A REASONABLE RESOLUTION.

AT APPROX. 46,000 MI. MY ESCAPE BEGAN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING AND NO RHYME OR REASON. AFTER COASTING TO SAFETY (SO FAR) I CAN RESTART AND CONTINUE. NO TROUBLE LIGHT COME ON EXCEPT THE WRENCH WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. AT FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED EVERY FEW WEEKS OR SO. FORD DEALER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEM IS UNLESS IT IS HAPPENING! NOW IT IS HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE INSTRUCTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR MY DAUGHTER IN CASE I AM KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE I AM THAT AFRAID. I CAN'T AFFORD EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 49,000 MILES. FORD CAN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT IT IS! THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE @ 70 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO NEIGHBORHOOD AT 2 MPH. I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT YET BUT AM CERTAIN IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WHILE HAVING IT SERVICED AT FORD DEALER YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A 110.00 TO HOOK IT TO COMPUTER BUT THEY MAY NOT TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GAMBLE 110.00. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE. I PAID FOR A 76,000 MI WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD IT EXPIRED IN JUNE OF 2017. PLEASE HELP!
