FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BAD. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH NO ACCIDENTS WITH TRUCK. TRUCK IS LOW MILEAGE. *JS

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH AND STALLING OUT AT RANDOM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT THE CAR WASH AND WHILE,SITTING AT THE STOP LIGHT, BUT EVERYTIME IT HAS BEEN WET OUTSIDE. TAKEN TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP, AND HAD LOTS OF WORK DONE, NEW PLUGS, COILPACKS, INJECTOR SERVICE, AND THROTLEBODY CLEANING DONE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. BROUGHT ISSUE TO A FRIEND AND TO ONE LOOK AT THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE UNDER THE REAR AXEL AND IT WAS SPLIT WIDE OPEN, BAD ENOUGH THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS JUST HANGING OUT. WHEN ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER, THE PARTS GUY JUST HAD A LAUGH AND SAID THEY DO AT LEAST THREE A WEEK.

HAD A BAD MISS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LIMPED HOME 15 MILES. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND IN THE PROCESS BROKE TWO IN THE HEAD. ONE DID NOT BREAK COMPLETELY OFF (#4) AND I NEEDED TO BORROW A PROTOTYPE TOOL FROM LISLE TOOL CORP. REMOVED AND REPLACED PLUGS FOLLOWING FORD PROCEDURES. TRUCK STILL HAD A MISS. REPLACED ALL EIGHT COIL PACKS WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. TOTAL COST$380.00. TRUCK DOWN FOR 6 DAYS AWAITING TOOLS AND PARTS. DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ORIGINAL TIRES(PIRELLI) WERE SEPARATING. REPLACED TIRES(976.00), MUCH BETTER. STILL HAVE SLIGHT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEEDS. FOUND LEFT FRONT HUB BEARING SEEPING GREASE AND FEELS STIFF. AWAITING PARTS TO DO REPAIRS. (98.00) HAD A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT LIGHT LOAD IN OVERDRIVE. FLUSHED TRANSMISSION WITH BG PRODUCTS AND FLUSH MACHINE. ADDED NEW TRANS FLUID AND CONDITIONER. TRANSMISSION NOW SHUDDERS AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN HOT. WILL ORDER NEW FILTER AND REPLACE. WILL ADD FRICTION MODIFIER AND TRY AGAIN. HAVE TO TOW ANOTHER VEHICLE THIS WEEKEND AND AM AFRAID TO DO SO. I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE STARTING AT 48,000 MILES. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED WITH TOP OF THE LINE PRODUCTS. HAVE BEEN A FORD OWNER ALL MY LIFE AND AM COMPLETELY DIS-SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SUPPOSED NUMBER ONE SELLING TRUCK. THE STICKER PRICES OF THESE TRUCKS SHOULD BE A BUNCH LESS SINCE CHEAPLY PRODUCED CHINESE PARTS ARE SO PREVALENTLY USED. NOT HAPPY. *TR

WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE IT BACKFIRED. FROM THAT POINT ON I HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST TO SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY TO STOP. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE INCIDENT IS EXACTLY AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V208000 (FORD RECALL #08S05) FOR THE SAME VEHICLE, EXCEPT MODEL YEAR 2005 AND 2006. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST OF 2006, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR

FIRST WHY WAS" THIS VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF BAD THROTTLE BODY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE FORD ESCAPE. I REPORTED THIS BACK IN 2012 WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NHTSA I DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE THEN BUT THERE ARE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE F-150 I HAD TO REPLACE MINE @ A COST OF OVER $600.00 AND ALSO DAMAGED MY ALTERNATOR I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN IT WENT IN LIMP HOME MODE SHOWING A WRENCH SYMBOL WITH LOST OF POWER AND ACCELERATION, I ALMOST WAS HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES AS THERE WAS KNOW WHERE TO PULL OVER TIME. THIS IS THE SAME THROTTLE BODY THAT COMES ON THE FORD ESCAPE AND IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THAT GROUP OF RECALLS. *TR

Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 9, 2014
THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLED. UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. AFTER BEING TOWED HOME, I FOUND THE FUEL PUMP MODULE CORRODED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE BACK SIDE. THE ALUMINUM BACK HOUSING WAS DETERIORATING BAD ENOUGH THAT IT CRUMBLED APART AS I WAS REMOVING IT. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT STOPPED. IT WAS 5 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND NOT SAFE TO WALK ANY DISTANCE FOR HELP ESPECIALLY ON OUR SECONDARY ROADS. THIS PART IS AN ENGINEERING FAILURE. THE ALUMINUM DOES NOT MATE WITH THE STEEL ON THE TRUCK FRAME. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AS TO THIS PART AND NO INVESTIGATION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING TO MY FAMILY. THE COLD, NO HEAT, AND SMALL CHILDREN ADD UP TO PROBLEMS. A VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COULD BE RECTIFIED BY CHANGING THE MATERIAL IT IS MADE OF. PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THE MANY FAMILIES DRIVING THIS COMMON TRUCK, MAKE THE COMPANY OWN UP TO THE FAILURE OF THIS PART BEFORE IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURING SOMEBODY OR WORSE YET A CHILD OR INFANT. *TR
