TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE POWER STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BASIL FORD (1540 WALDEN AVE, BUFFALO, NY 14225) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE REPAIR FAILED TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

IS IT COMMON FOR MY 2010 ESCAPE XLT TO HAVE A EVAP CODE READING HAVING A LARGE LEAK? CODE P0455

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CAR STARTED ACTING FUNNY .MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JUST SHACK BACK N FORTH WHILE DRIVE OR IN PARK. WHEN DRIVING AFTER ABOUT A WEEK MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT COMES ON .IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT THREE DAYS .I GO TO GET IN MY CAR TO LEAVE CRANK UP CAR PUT IT IN DRIVE IN I CAN BARELY TURN LEFT TO RIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING FOR AS LITTLE AS TEN MINUTES AND OTHER TIMES LONGER, MY TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND I WILL START TO FEEL THE TRUCK SLOW UP. THEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE I CAN ONLY GET UP TO 20 MPH. ALSO IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, WITHOUT PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IT'LL COME TO A HALT. IT DOES GO OVER 2,500 RPM ON A GOOD DAY. I CANT TAKE OFF FAST EVEN IF I WANTED TO. THE ONLY CODE THAT HAS COME UP WHEN DEALING WITH MY ISSUE IS THE CATALYIC CONVERTER. I HAVE REPLACED MY O2 SENSORS AND GOT A NEW CONVERTER ON BUT STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I EVEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP AND IT HAS NOT. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO REPUTABLE SHOPS AND MECHANIC AND SPENT A TON OF MONEY TRYING TO RESOLVE MY ISSUES. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY AND MY SON'S SAFETY NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL LOSE POWER. I CANT EVEN HOLD A JOB AT THE TIME BEING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK.

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION GETTING WORSE BY DAY SEAT BELTS IN BACK DON'T WORK PROPERLY . SOMETIMES DONT WORK AT ALL BREAKS DONT WORK AFTER CARWASH.

WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A FUEL LEAK AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE RISK FOR OUR 2010 FORD ESCAPE XLT WITH THE LI I4 ENGINE MANUFACTURED AT THE CLAYCOMO, MISSOURI, PLANT. THERE HAS BEEN FUEL ODOR SINCE SEPTEMBER, 2019 UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, IN ADDITION TO THE SMELL OF FUEL, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE, VISIBLE POOL OF FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE; ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR LEFT TIRE. A PHOTO IS ATTACHED. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2010 FORD ESCAPES FOR A DIFFERENT ENGINE, I WOULD LIKE THE RECALL EXTENDED TO INCLUDED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE.

MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TODAY STRAIGHT ON A STREET AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE (ONLY BY GODS GRACE SHE WAS SPARED FROM A DEADLY ACCIDENT). I WENT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AT HER HOME AND FOUND OUT THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM WHERE IT IS BOLTED TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER WAS SEVERELY FATIGUED THAT WAS CORRODED BADLY BROKE OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. I THEN RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AFTERWARDS AND THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE OF VEHICLE ABOUT THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I MAY BE SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL FROM TODD TRACY LAW FIRM OF DALLAS TX. FOR THIS POSSIBLY DEADLY AND SEVERE DEFECT THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED FROM FORD AND NHTSA TO CONSUMERS AND IS A HIDDEN TICKING TIME BOMB PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. WHY HAVE YOU NOT NOTIFIED PEOPLE OF THIS ISSUE? I CANNOT BE THE FIRST AND ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

FRAME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING WHEEL TO BE DETACHED FROM FRAME AND ALSO CONTROL ARM. TOLD NOT TO DRIVE CAR AT ALL UNTIL FRAME IS FIXED. SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED.
