Recalls and investigations
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.

Visibility, power window devices and controlsAug 24, 2016
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.

TONIGHT, 11/16/2020, MY ESCAPE STARTED TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE TACHOMETER WOULD GO UP AND DOWN BY AT LEAST 500 RPM WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER. THE DASHCAM I HAVE MOUNTED TURNED OFF. I TRIED MAKING IT HOME AND IT JUST DIED. LOST ALL LIGHTS. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE LEFT TURN LANE. WHILE DOING THIS, THE AUTO START SYSTEM TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISABLED. I TRIED TO START THE CAR MANUALLY, ABOUT FIVE OR SIX TIMES. IT FINALLY STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I TURNED OFF THE HVAC AUTO FEATURE, MY DASHCAM AND RADIO IN CASE IT WAS A VOLTAGE ISSUE. JUST ONE MORE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONIC PACKAGE IS FINICKY AND HORRIBLE. IT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE DEALER DO THE SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE [XXX] SYSTEM. IT STILL ACTS UP OCCASIONALLY LEAVING ME DEAD IN THE WATER UNTIL I CAN SHIFT TO PARK AND MANUALLY RESTART IT. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A CITY STREET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PARTS STORE TO CHECK THE CODE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE AND THAT I NEEDED REPLACE A SPARK PLUG. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC , I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY DUE TO OVERHEATING. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION I FOUND THAT MY COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH A GALLON OF COOLANT AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO A MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, WHICH WAS NOT NORMAL WITH MY VEHICLE ONLY BEING AT 60,000 MILES. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE. I HAD TO PAY $7,000 OUT OF POCKET AND HAD TO WAIT OVER A MONTH BEFORE I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK.

SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS VIA THE SITE. I EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE AND WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE IT MYSELF DUE TO THE FACTORY PROVIDED LUG WRENCH UNABLE TO SECURING FASTEN TO THE LUG NUTS. IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TOW DRIVER AND TIRE STORE, IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE LUG NUT COVERS PREVENT THE LUG WRENCH FROM WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER CONTACTING MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME I COULD BUY A "KIT" TO RESOLVE. I ALSO CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TOWING CHARGES AND HAVE THE "KIT" INSTALLED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. FORD ATTRIBUTES THIS ISSUE TO SWOLLEN LUG NUTS AND CONSIDERS THE ISSUE A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM SINCE MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TOWING AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE "KIT" INSTALLATION MYSELF. IT BEARS TO NOTE, I DISCOVERED THE FLAT TIRE IN MY GARAGE AFTER IT SITTING OVERNIGHT. SO I DO NOT SEE HOW THE LUG NUTS WERE SUBJECT TO SWELLING SINCE THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 1 YEAR AGO WITH 52K MILES ON IT. LAST MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AT 62K MILES. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS CODE P0302, PISTON #2 COMPRESSION AT 90 PSI, ALL OTHERS PERFORMING AT 190 PSI. HE CONTACTED FORD WHO INFORMED HIM OF TSB PERTAINING TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE LIST OF PARTS REQUIRED FOR REPAIR IS 6 PAGES LONG AND MOST PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CONTACTED FORD TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR WHAT THEY KNOW IS EITHER A FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN OR FAULTY MANUFACTURING BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP. THEY DID OFFER TO SELL ME AN EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY WHICH WOULD NOT COVER THIS REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE A TICKING TIME BOMB.
Steering, Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Oct 26, 2020
1. HANDS FREE TAILGATE/TRUNK WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT WHEN OBJECTS OR A PERSONS BODY IS PRESENT. FAUB/ KEYS ARE NOT BEING PUSHED BY ACCIDENT, NOR IS THERE ANY MOVEMENT UNDER NUMBER THAT WOULD SENSOR DOOR TO CLOSE. WHEN IT DOES DO THIS, IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE FOR THE SENSOR TO REALIZE THERE IS AN OBJECT THERE AND TAKES SOME TIME TO OPEN AGAIN. 2. WHEN VEHICLE SLIPS ON ICE PATCES OR LARGE PUDDLES OF WATER--- WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON MY DASH BOARD, IT SEEMS TO TRIGGER MY ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, BRAKES STOP WORKING AND NO ELECTRICAL FROM THAT POINT ON. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES NOW, WITH THE NEED TO HAVE TO CALL A TOW. FOR BOTH COMPLAINTS, FORD SERVICE SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT GET EITHER COMPLAINT TO DUPLICATE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS POINT BY FORD TO FIX OR COMPENSATE FOR ANY OF THIS.

FORD 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF A CYLINDER CRACKING AND COOLANT LEAKING IN. OVER 125 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THIS ISSUE IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD UNDER TSB 19-2028 BUT FORD DOES NOT ASSIST THE CAR OWNERS IN REPLACING THE ENGINE. THIS ENGINE CRACK OCCURS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE (50K-60K MILES) WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICULE AT A STATIONARY STATE. STARTED UP THE ENGINE, GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE AND PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER $7,000.00.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST WITH 113,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER TWO TRIPS TO A FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE OF NEW SPARK PLUGS AND 2 NEW IGNITION COILS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. AFTER DOING AN OVERNIGHT PRESSURE TEST, THEY DISCOVERED COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER WALLS OF THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WILL NOW NEED REPLACED! APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD ENGINES AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED LIKE THEY HAVE DONE TO OTHERS, BEFORE IT CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN IT FREEZES UP!
Air bags, Oct 18, 2020, crash
MY SON WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HE HIT A STONE WALL APPROXIMATELY FIVE FOOT TALL AT 30-40MPH. THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT WENT OFF WAS THE STEERING WHEEL. HIS VEHICLE HIT THE WALL IN THE SAME APPROXIMATE SPOT THAT THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY TEST (CENT1622) HIT THE TEST WALL. IN THEIR TEST THE SIDE AIR BAG CURTAINS WENT OFF. IN MY SONS ACCIDENT PER THE VIDEOS, RELATED SPEED AND LOCATION OF IMPACT. THE AIR BAG CURTAINS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF WHICH WOULD HAVE SAVED HIM FROM A LIFETIME DISABILITY.
