Visibility, power window devices and controlsJun 9, 2026
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 Escape vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 16V617. The power-operated windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 22, 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C29. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 6, 2026.

Equipment, electrical, engine block heaterJan 15, 2026
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Focus, 2013-2019 Escape, and 2015-2016 MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine. The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in.
An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
Owners are advised not to plug in their block heater until the vehicle is remedied. Dealers will replace the block heater, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded plug, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed March 6, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S01. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on January 16, 2026.

Power train, automatic transmission, gear position indication (prndl)Jun 10, 2022
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.
A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Dealers will replace the under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to be available in 4th Quarter 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S43.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2017 Ford Escape Titanium and SE vehicles manufactured October 5, 2015, to May 12, 2016. The settings for the closing-force of the power-operated windows may allow the windows to close on an object such as a body part and injure it before the windows auto-reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
If a window closes on a body part, it can increase the risk of injury.
Ford has notified owners, and dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16C12.

2017 Ford Escape Transmission issue: I have maintained my vehicle in accordance with the 2017 Ford Escape manual since I purchased it. My vehicle has always been reliable until suddenly, at a little over 105,000 miles, my vehicle's transmission started slipping. My car revved and no check engine light or warning indicator ever came on. The car finally jutted forward, so I pulled it off the side of the road and had it towed to a Ford dealership service center. The dealership looked at the car and said I would need a whole new transmission and the parts are on back-order to which he also stated, "which indicates to me this is a common problem with the 2017 Ford Escape." I then towed the vehicle to a different Ford dealership service center to get a different opinion. This different service center also said I would need a new transmission. My car is available for inspection upon request. The safety of myself and others were put at risk since the issue occurred without any warning on a highway and before a car's reliability would be questioned (2017 year with 105,000 miles with no prior issues). The problem has been confirmed by two Ford dealership service centers.

As I was driving on I-75 on the evening of Sunday, November 14, 2021 around 8:30, at approximately 75 mph (I was in the middle lane passing a semi-truck), my car suddenly lost power. The RPMs began to go all the way up, the drop all the way down repeatedly. Lights came on, and a red light came on saying something like "Transmission malfunction Service now". Thankfully, I was near an exit and was able to get off the interstate. I parked at a gas station and let my car sit for about 30 minutes. It immediately cranked back up, but would not drive. I called roadside assistance and had it towed to a nearby Ford dealership. Two days later, I was told I would need a new transmission due to the overdrive gear breaking apart and spreading metal throughout the transmission, rendering it basically useless. My car only has around 77,500 miles on it. In fact, I still have the original battery and tires. I have NEVER had any indication of a problem with the transmission - no noises, no lights, nothing. I take my car to my local dealership for oil changes and inspections when it is time. Not once have I ever been told there were any issues. I just feel this must have been a faulty part in order for it to simply break apart that fast to cause my car to stop working while I was driving, not to mention the fact it was able to ruin my entire transmission. I do not have any invoices to share at this time. I am still trying to come up with $6500 for the repair so I can get my car back. Thank. you for your time and consideration.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently started shuddering. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road for a moment. The contact continued to drive the vehicle however, the failure recurred intermittently while driving that same day. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic who advised the contact that he could not determine the cause of the failure as the OBD reader could not read the codes. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who advised the contact that he could not duplicate the failure. The transmission was flushed. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring more frequently while driving. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

For several weeks experienced shudder/judder and hesitation. Most noticeable at around 40 mph. Vehicle serviced and inspected by both dealership and independent auto repair shop. Hesitation unsafe. Issue Not uncommon as found on FMC Escape forum. Dealer recommended transmission replacement after finding transmission fluid burned and contaminated with metallic debris. Verified Torque converter clutch shudder. Independent auto repair shop confirmed hesitation, engagement in higher gears is abnormal. No warning lights or other symptoms aside from shudder/judder/hesitation. Vehicle currently available for inspection. Vehicle had less than 76,000 miles when issue first started.

I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden the car started bucking and revving to 4,000 rpm and would not go at highway speed. It continued to fluctuate the rpms but drop in speed. I had to pull over, shut off the car and restart. It drove for a little bit, started bucking again, revved to 4,000 rpms and lost power as I was trying to get off the exit - almost stalling in the turn. I had to pull over again, shut it off and restart. It went for a little bit then started revving like crazy, dropped speed quickly and then completely shut down. There were no warning lights, no check engine lights, no messages until the car finally died and it flashed a transmission problem. I have had the car from new and have always serviced it at the Ford Dealer. It has 98,000 miles and was told that is needs a transmission.

On August 13, while driving in stop-and-go traffic I noticed the car was handling funny. It was hesitating when I pushed the gas causing me to accelerate in an unpredictable way in traffic. That weekend I took the car to my mechanic who told me that he couldn’t replicate the issue but if I had the issue again to bring the car back. There were also no error codes so any issue couldn’t be diagnosed. On August 30 while driving home, I attempted to accelerate at an intersection (across 6 lanes of traffic) and the car would rev but not exceed 25 miles per hour. I literally limped into my mechanics shop but once again there were no error codes. However it was clear that something was completely wrong with the car. The car was towed to a transmission shop who inspected it and told me I needed a full transmission rebuild. They also couldn’t explain why the car wasn’t displaying any error codes. In the end I was without my car for 2 weeks, paid over $4,000 for the job, and had to borrow cars just to get to my teaching job. My car is well maintained. It is only four years old but has 100,000 miles – obviously past the warranty. However, I have never had a transmission fail on me. This is also the first time I’ve ever purchased a Ford.

The car would not get into gear without warning. The car would not produce power when I would press the gas. Then, moments later, without warning, the engine would rev without input, however, the car would not accelerate. I had to pull over and the turn the car off multiple times. I ended up getting a warning light indicating to service the transmission, but when I turned the car off, the warning light would go away, but continue to not get into gear and then jerk, especially at low speed. i ended up taking to the car to a mechanic and got an error code indicating that the car could not get into 5th gear. I was told that the vehicle needed transmission fluid change, which I did. I then drove for about 200 miles without issues. Then suddenly while driving at about 70mph, I the service transmission light came on. i pulled the vehicle over and turned off the car. About 20 minutes later, I again started driving at highway speed for about 5 miles, and the service transmission light did not show and I had no additional issues. I then parked the car over night and then started to drive to the highway. Approximately 5 minutes of driving at highway speed the car would no accelerate when I pressed the accelerator, and i attempted to accelerate the car, but the vehicle would not rev the engine nor provide power, I had no warning lights. When this happened, the car started to decelerate as if the car was in neutral. I ended up having to get the car towed and serviced. i am currently awaiting the results of what is wrong with the car.

I went to Lenoir City ford with issues of misfiring cylinder and mostly Limp Mode on the highway. They cleared my codes and sent me on my way. ^ This occured while my vehicle was still under warranty. Now, expired warranty, I have the same issue and they will not cover under warranty when the issue was first discovered. Good lord I need me a recall

I was driving along, approaching an intersection, and suddenly my car had no gears! The rpm's went sky high when I pressed on the gas but I had no drive. Thankfully I was able to coast to a turning lane and into a parking lot without incident. There had been no warning lights or funny noises and this was completely unexpected and could have caused an accident! I had to call a tow truck and the ford dealer that I took it to is now telling me the transmission needs replaced and that this is a common problem with this vehicle! And this is only 4 months after they replaced the engine that was bad! Shame on ford for not recalling this vehicle!

ON 2/17/21 MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK ON A BUSY INTERSTATE RIGHT AFTER A MAJOR SNOW STORM. NO WHERE SAFE TO PULL OFF. THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND LOST POWER ALONG WITH NOISE AND SYSTEM ERROR FLASHED ACROSS DASHBOARD STATING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CARE EVENTUALLY LOST POWER AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. CAR WAS TOWED IN TO DEALERSHIP. TORQUE CONVERTER COMPLETELY BLEW. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 WEEKS. I JUST GOT IT BACK LAST NIGHT. THEY SAID THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REDESIGNED AND IF IT MADE ME FEEL ANY BETTER THERE WERE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I WAS HAVING AND THEY WERE WORKING ON. THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS WHEN THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY TO SAY IT WAS FINALLY REPAIR AFTER 6 WEEKS THAT IT FELL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO WE GOT SOCKED WITH THE $100 DEDUCTABLE. WHEN A MAJOR CAR PART HAS TO BE "REDESIGNED" FOR ANY REPAIR TO BE MADE, THAT SHOULD BE A RED FLAG TO THE MANUFACTURER AND A RECALL ISSUED.

I PURCHASED A FORD ESCAPE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. IN JUNE OF 2018 I BROUGHT IT IN TO A FORD DEALER DUE TO THE CAR PULLING FORWARD WHEN IT SHIFTED IT WAS 23,475 MILEAGE. THE DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC TESTED IT FOR TRANSMISSION CODES AND CAME UP WITH P0300. HE TEST DROVE AND CHECKED FLUID LEVEL AND SAID IT WAS OK. MARCH 2019 AT 39,473 MILEAGE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WOULD JUMP WHEN I SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THEY DID AN TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS AND STATED NO CODES APPEARED. THEY DID A IDS SCAN TOOL TO WATCH SOME TYPE OF DATA AND FOUND A LINE PRESSURE HIGHER THAN NORMAL DURING ENGAGEMENT, THEY RESET IT. CLEARED TRANSMISSION ADAPTIVE TABLES. AUGUST 2020 TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AT 80,462 MILEAGE BECAUSE IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AT A STOPPING POSITION AT ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC PERFORMED A ATD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS, FOUND NO CODES STORED, HOWEVER, FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID VERY BLACK AND BURNT. THEY FOUND WHEN TEST DRIVING HARSH UP AND DOWN SHIFT. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO OVERHAUL THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY QUOTED ME $ 2000-5000 PRICE. I DID NOT HAVE IT. IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS AND I AM CONCERNED IF MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BLACK AND BURNT WHY DID THEY NOT CHANGE IT? THEY ONLY CHARGED ME FOR THE TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS.
