2010 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARK OR WHEN DRIVING. MARKED TODAY GOING 45 AND ENGINE SHUT OFF.

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP WHETHER IT BE A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE RPM'S OVER REV HIGHER AT THE TIME OF LEAVING FROM A STOP WHEN GAS IS GIVEN TO VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS BACK UP TO SPEED THE RPM'S DROP BACK TO A NORMAL RANGE.

BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE RUSTING. THIS STARTING HAPPENING AROUND 2016. I SEE MANY OTHER 2010 ESCAPES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM.

2010 FORD ESCAPE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL MALFUNCTIONS AND SPEED DIAL FALLS TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.

STEERING COLUMN BEGAN TO LOOSEN AND SHAKE, IMPAIRING STEERING ABILITY. MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (CODE B2278), WHICH WAS COVERED BY RECALL 14S05, WHICH INCLUDED THE FACTORY AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER FORD SAYS THIS RECALL WAS VIN-SPECIFIC, SO THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR SOME OF THE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, A KNOCKING SOUND WAS HEARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEAL FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO FLUSH OUT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SEAL WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 122,000.

POWER STEERING LOST INTERMITTENTLY. POWER STEERING MODULE ASSEMBLY WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL IN 2015 BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN. FORD WONT STAND BY THE PART THEY FIXED IT WITH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING DUE TO A FAILED PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE B2278 STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V284000 (STEERING) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SUNRISE FORD OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD (LOCATED AT 5500 LANKERSHIM BLVD, LOS ANGELES, CA 91601, (877) 510-8967); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,173.

ISSUE WITH ABS MODULE SYSTEM- BRAKE PEDAL WAS INTERMITTENTLY SOFT WHILE DRIVING, AND BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE LATE IN PEDAL PROGRESSION. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER TO FIX ISSUE. ISSUE CONTINUED AND NOW HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BECAUSE OF A BAD ABS MODULE, AND FORD WILL NOT FIX. LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND BRAKES NO LONGER WORK PROPERLY.

LEAVING WORK FOR LUNCH MY POWER STEER STOPPED WORKING. I LOOKED INTO RECALLS AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLES MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. BUT ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND MADE IN A CERTAIN PLANT AND MINE DIDN'T QUALIFY.
