2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

WE WAS ON A CITY STREET TURNING AT A STOPLIGHT AND GOT STUCK AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO ACCELERATE TO 5,000 RPMS TO GET IT TO MOVE AND IT SLAMMED INTO 2ND GEAR. ALMOST CAUSED 2 CAR ACCIDENTS WITH 2 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OF TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. BAD TRANSMISSION NEEDS RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE 'COOLANT LOW' MESSAGE APPEARED. AFTER COOLANT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED HOURS AFTER CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVELS, WHICH WERE NORMAL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, COOLANT WAS FOUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TT

INFORMATION DISPLAY PANEL WENT OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSE CANNOT RENEW REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE WITHOUT MILEAGE AND CANNOT KNOW WHATS GOING WRONG WITH CAR

VACUUM PUMP FAILURE. NO WARNING, WAS DRIVING ON AN EXIT RAMP FROM OUR STATE TURNPIKE AT LOW SPEED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS AND IN TURN, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD JUST STOPPED TO PAY A TOLL ABOUT 200 YARDS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEM. THE FAILURE OF THE VACUUM PUMP COUPLED WITH FORD UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT FROM THE INCIDENT DATE OF JUNE 6TH, 2019 UNTIL AUGUST 28, 2019 CAN EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. FORD EDGE FROM THE SAME MODEL YEARS HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, WITH FORD EXTENDING THE VACUUM PUMP WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. THIS EXPANSION OF THE WARRANTY SHOULD ALSO BE APPLIED TO THE FORD ESCAPE. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE BEING INJURED OR WORSE BEFORE THE NHSTA FORCES FORD TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMPS ON THEIR WATCH?

POWER STEERING DEFECT. MY CARS POWER STEERING HAS FAILED AND I WAS TOLD I NEED AN EPAS RACK, THE CODE IS U3000 PSCM INTERNAL FAILURE. I HAVE 72,875 MILES ON THIS 2013 FORD ESCAPE. I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE. I UNDERSTAND FORD HAS HAD TO RECALL OVER 1.1 MILLION SUV'S FOR POWER STEERING DEFECTS. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $1,800 TO REPAIR. I AM TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THE OTHER 1.1 MILLION SUV'S HAVE HAD I FEEL LIKE MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. JOE COOPER FORD OF EDMOND, OK HAS MY VEHICLE NOW FOR REPAIR 405-475-9000. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60 MPH AND THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND HESITATING, TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH COOLANT LOSS, SAID THEY FIXED. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN ROUGH TOOK BACK AND IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, AND NOW WHEN STARTED WHITE SMOKE CAN OUT OF EXHAUST. NOW THEY SAY I NEED A NEW ENGINE.
