2013 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

The vehicle will not shift gears. Luckily it is in my garage and I was not out driving when this happened. It appears to be in park, but it is actually in natural and I cannot shift it. In doing some research, I found that a the gear shift bushing is defective. In doing further research, I found that Ford does have a recall on this car for the EXACT reason (18S20) issues July 18, 2018 for 2013 Ford Escapes manufactured from May 15-Sept 15, 2013 in the Louisville plant. I contacted Ford and my car was manufactured on May 13, so it is not covered. This is extremely dangerous. Had I not done research online I was not aware that my car was not in park and all I had to do was simply push it forwards or backwards-with ease-to get it to roll. I have choked the tires to prevent this. But Ford refuses to fix it and I cannot locate a very simple replacement part that costs about $20 and 2 minutes to fix. Rather, I will have to spend $500+ towing to have an entire new cable installed. This is EXTREMELY dangerous and defective. Forth-eight hours or less for this not to be include in the recall is more than concerning and this recall must be updated to include more cars. I found several people online having the exact same issue...while driving and loosing control. Thank you.

Unknown. The problem is that. My turbo is over boosting even after a full engine replacement.

Car currently has ~ 104k miles and all of a sudden a "Steering Assist" failure warning comes on and I lose power to the power steering while driving. Had to slow down and carefully pull to the side of the road as I almost did not make the upcoming turn on the road.

While driving my Escape turns off unexpectedly. Then I stop put it on park and restart then it drives again. It's does this randomly.

“Steering assist fault service required” Power steering does not work. I have read multiple forums where people have had this issue and almost crashed. There are recalls on other year models and explorers of the same year model. This needs to be a recall.
