2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

THE ENGINE STALLED/DIED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY 6 LANE ROAD, SO I AM FORTUNATE (I SUPPOSE) THAT IT DID NOT DIE WHILE I WAS MAKING MY TURN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR HELP. MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. VERY SCARY.

I BOUGHT A 2013 FORD ESCAPE NEW IN NOV OF 2012. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR. EVERY SUMMER IN LAS VEGAS WHERE I LIVE THE CAR OVERHEATS AND I LOOSE ENGINE POWER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY FOR ME AS I AM 71 YEARS OLD. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO FIX IT

THE BACK LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. THANKS GOD NO ONE GET HURT. BUT IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC MOMENT FOR US. THEN WHEN I VISIT THE DEALER FORD MAYAGUEZ PUERTO RICO THEY SAID THAT I MUST PAY FOR REPLACEMENTS OF LATCHES. I LOOK FOR THE SAFETY RECALLS OF MY VEHICLE FORD ESCAPE 2013 AND IT WAS THE SAFETY RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V-085 LATCHES/LOCK/LINKAGES. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY UNIT BY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE A CONCERN, IT HAPPEN TO MY UNIT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES AFFECTED, IT COULD BE WORST, I ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. IS NOT FAIR THAT MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN THAT PROBLEM HAPPEN TO IT, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. I CAN NOT USE IT IF I HAVE TO PARK IT BECAUSE THE DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE. HELP ME PLEASE.

FORD IS NOTHING BUT A COMPANY THAT IS OUT FOR MONEY. THEY COULD CARE A LESS HOW RELIABLE THEIR VEHICLES ARE OR ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD STOP MAKING VEHICLES AND BE SUED. THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT FAULTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. IN MINE, THERE IS MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE COOLING FAN RUNS CONSTANTLY AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY COULD CARE A LESS AND CONTINUE TO SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. MY ENTIRE CARE BASICALLY HAS A SEIZURE WHEN IT SHIFTS AND WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO GEAR AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL? THESE GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF FOOLS. THAN THEY PROCEED TO TELL ME I NEED TO SPEND $700 ON SOMETHING THAT WASN'T GOING TO FIX MY CAR TO GET MORE MONEY AND TO MAKE ME BELIEVE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AT THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. FORD IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF CROOKED PEOPLE. NEVER BUY A PIECE OF CRAP FORD. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND COULD CARE A LESS ABOUT FIXING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A FAULT IN THEIR END. BUY A CHEVY OR SOMETHING THAT IS MORE RELIABLE AND A COMPANY THAT HAS WAY BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAN FORD.

TOOK CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE. DEALER ADVISED THAT LEFT REAR BRAKE PAD WAS WORN TO 1MM AND THAT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. BRAKES, ESPECIALLY, REARS, SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING AT 25,000 MILES AND IT WAS ONLY THE LEFT THAT WAS WORN. DEALER INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED THE BRAKES HAD SEIZED, CAUSING THE EXCESSIVE EARLY WEAR.

99% OF THE TIME I PUT MY FOOT FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE , MY FOOT ENDS UP UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THE UNDERCORNER BEFORE I MAKE A QUICK ADJUSTMENT TO GET MY FOOT ON TOP OF THE BRAKE WHERE IT BELONGS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHERE THERE IS A WORN SPOT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ON THE VERY MOST RIGHT SIDE OF IT. I CURSE IT EVERY SINGLE TIME, EVERY SINGLE DAY. ONE OF THESE DAYS I CAN SEE IT COMING. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT FRONT FORWARD. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP THE CURB AND CRASH THRU A STORE FRONT WINDOW.
