2010 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO KISSELBACK FORD (1118 13TH ST, ST CLOUD, FL 34769, (407) 892-5477) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,800.

POWER STEERING FAILED WHEN ARRIVING TO JOB SITE AS I PULLED IN THE DASH BOARD FLASHED POWER STEERING FAULT AND THAT WAS IT NO MORE POWER STEERING. NOTICED THAT ON THE WAY TO WORK HAD A GHOAST STEERING THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED ON ITS OWN IT TWETCHED ON OWN 50 MILES LATER IT WENT OUT

MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE LITE IS COMING ON AND MY STEERING IS REAL TIGHT . IT TURNS OK WHEN MOVING BUT REAL HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING ..HEARD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT SEEMS NOT FOR MY FORD

MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND I STARTED IT. THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' ALERT SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED. I COULD NOT PHYSICALLY STEER THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. WE TOOK IT TO OUR USUAL MECHANIC, WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND DTC B2278. HE DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE IT, AND SUGGESTED WE LOOK INTO A RECALL. HE EVEN PROVIDED THE RECALL NUMBER WHICH APPEARED APPLICABLE. OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANT DURING THE MANUFACTURE TIME FRAME OF RECALL 14S05, BUT OUR VIN DOES NOT SHOW ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL 14S05, SINCE THAT SPECIFIC RECALL WAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, KNOWN TO OCCUR ON VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AT THAT PLANT DURING THAT TIMESPAN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE EXACT REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN RECALL 14S05. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHICH CRITERIA IS USED TO DECIDE WHICH VIN NUMBERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JUST UNDER 2 YEARS AGO ONGOING ISSUES THE CAR WILL STALL OUT/DIE WHILE DRIVING AC/HEAT CAUSES ISSUES I HAVE HAD A TON OF WORK DONE AND THE ISSUES ARE REOCCURRING WHILE DIVING ON CITY STREET IT HAS STALLED OUT AS WELL AS IN PARK. THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE IS UNKNOWN

EXITING HIGHWAY WHEN POWER STEERING WAS LOST. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE FOR A MINUTE OR LESS. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING RESUMED. CONTACTED DEALER THEY SAID BRING IT IN FOR INSPECTION. COULD FIND NO FAULTS. SAID STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED REPLACING BUT WASN'T COVERED BY RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE RECALL STOPPED IN 2014. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND TO FIX IT. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR RECALL IN 2014 BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AT THAT TIME.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. CAR WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO REPAIR CENTER. WAS REPAIRED FOR COST OF $1500. RECALLS WERE CHECKED AS MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM, AND MANY RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR WERE FOUND, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT. CLEARLY THIS POSES A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS FAILING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STIFF AND THE STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WAS VERY RIGID. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

HELLO, I JUST SPENT 1/2 HOUR WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON THE PHONE ABOUT THEIR FORD ESCAPE 2010 AND THE FAULTY ABS MODULE. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK BECAUSE OF THIS WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ESCAPE AND OTHER MODELS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DEPRESS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHILE VERY SLOWLY DECELERATING THE CAR, I OFTEN HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO BUILD SOME PRESSURE IN ORDER TO STOP. CLEARLY, AN ABS FAILURE! DO WE HAVE TO WORK WITH LAWYERS TO GET THAT RESOLVES OR START A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AND OTHER BLOGS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. IT'S NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM QUIT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST HIT A CAR HEAD ON. WHEN I LOOKED UP HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ESCAPE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR AS MINE. MY ESCAPE WAS BUILT OUT OF THE KC PLANT WERE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED.... THE BAD PART MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL
