2010 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

My power steering went out after I got my car. My starter doesn’t work I have to use a button on my keys to always start my car the key will not start my car. It’s very hard to turn my car and it went out while I was making a turn and myself siblings and boyfriend almost got hit by an oncoming car. The car has not been inspected, I can have my car looked at most likely upon request unless I have work but I can come in the next available day. There were no messages or warnings to my car or any symptoms before they went out.

Serious safety issue. Brake system complete failure in the driveway at my house. Luckily nobody was hurt and no damage to the vehicle or our home. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer. Critical electric brake component failed. Which one is unclear. There are several in "series" in the braking system. When the one failed it destroyed the others as well. Serious safety design flaw.

I found out there is a recall on over 600,000 cars from 2006 to 2010. Mainly Ford fusion for the same problem I'm having on my 2010 Ford escape. There is an ABS breaking valve that sticks and the ABS module needs to be replaced. This is happened on my car and is not under the recall but it's the same model as the 2010 Ford fusion and the same part. Why is this? I brought this into my dealer the first time they said the brakes were bad and the rear brakes needed to be adjusted and the valve was sticking but they were able to get it unstuck. They flush the brake fluid as well after $500 nearly $600 I went to drive the car and it was exactly the same. That's when they said it was the ABS brake module, the valve sticking and needed to be replaced. This seems to be a pretty common problem with these cars. Why is there no recall on this?

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the steering torque sensor under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V284000 (Steering); however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 117,000.

The steering column assist motor malfunctioned while operating the vehicle. It quit while driving so I could not operate the vehicle properly. I had two young kids in the car when this occured and I had to swerve out of traffic because the steering column locked up. Yes the problem was assessed by an independent service center and it was determined that the steering assist motor did indeed malfunction. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure of the steering motor.

Steering wheel began rapidly shaking when parked or when in drive. This shaking began to make steering dangerous as it would make me swerve while operating the vehicle. This began a week before the power steering went completely out and now the dash has a message for power steering assist fault. The vehicle is also throwing code B2278. I have seen on the ford official recall list that there is a recall on certain ford escapes made in certain manufacturing states but I believe my vehicle is affected by this recall.

My girlfriend's electric power steering went out when she got home. Something that it was previously recalled for. Also while she was driving she was getting really bad shaking in her steering wheel this is the second time this has happened and it is really dangerous.
