2010 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND NO CODES SCANNED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BARELY COULD STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD ABS SYSTEM REPLACED BY A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT HAPPENS ON THESE CARS FREQUENTLY FROM WHAT I HEARD. VERY DANGEROUS!

DRIVING AT 50MPH, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDEBT, ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST LIGHT ON. SAME PROBLEM AS 2014 RECALL BUT ACCORDING TO FORD APPARENTLY THIS VIN ISN'T COVERED. PATHETIC RESPONSE TO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER STEER ASSIST DISABLED EVEN AFTER FORD RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THE OWNER NOT HAVING ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE ONLY A BAND-AID DOES NOT TRULY FIX ISSUE. WIFE DRIVING HOME IN VEHICLE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH KIDS IN CAR DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. NEEDED TO MEET WIFE TO GET CAR SO I COULD DRIVE IT BACK STILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR MYSELF AND I AM A STRONG PERSON.

SUDDENLY LOST ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE IDLE BUT APPARENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MATTHEWS FORD LINCOLN (610 E PERKINS AVE, SANDUSKY, OH 44870, (877) 395-3736) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000.

HARD STOP ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY. IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SO THEY RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE BRAKES NEVER RECOVERED. HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET A GOOD STOPPING PRESSURE. FOUR MONTHS LATER, OUT OF NOWHERE, THE VEHICLE HAD NO PRESSURE WHATSOEVER. BRAKE FLUID BEGAN POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. UNDER INSPECTION, MECHANIC FAULTED A FAILED ABS MODULE. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED URGENTLY. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 123,000 MILES.

DROVE TO SCHOOL EVERYTHING OKAY, CAME OUT AFTER PRACTICE AND 2010 FORD ESCAPE WOULD NOT TURN WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT. THE WHEEL WOULD CLICK EACH TIME YOU TURNED A QUARTER OF A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER RECEIVING ASSISTANCE, LEARNED THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND NO POWER STEERING. TOOK TO SPARKS AUTOREPAIR (1665 SCHERER PKWY, ST CHARLES, MO 63303) THEY DIAGNOSED A STEERING COLUMN COMPUTER FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE COULD LOCK UP THE STEERING AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. AS A VEHICLE OWNER, I AM FORCED TO FIX IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, SEEMS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN JUST MYSELF EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE ON PARTICULAR VINS THERE WAS A RECALL. REPORTING THE ISSUE OF A SERIOUS STEERING ISSUE IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. THIS ISN'T A SIMPLE FIX. BE SAFE 2010 ESCAPE OWNER/OPERATORS. WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT.
