MY CAMERA HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME AS WHAT THEY ARE DESCRIBING HAS HAPPENED TO THE 2020 MODELS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ON THIS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW CAMERA.

LAST NIGHT LEAVING FROM WORK, IN THE DARK AT 9;30PM, STARTED CAR AND STARTED TO PULL OFF THE SHOULDER ONTO THE ROADWAY, PRESSED ONTO GAS PEDAL AND CAR WENT SLOW THEN THE ABS SENSOR CAME ON AND A SHORT DISTANCE LATER THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON ALONG WITH HILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. I HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM EARLIER THIS YEAR, ONLY THE ADDITION OF THE 4WD NOT BEING AVAILABLE AND IT WAS A BAD ABS SENSOR. I HAD IT REPLACED AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST NIGHT. THEN THIS MORNING, I HAD TO BACK UP TO GO TO WORK AND THE REAR END STOPPED THE CAR AND HAD THERE NOT BEEN ENOUGH ROOM I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO GO FORWARD THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, SHORT DISTANCE LATER THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE NO HILL ASSIST CAME ON. NOTHING VISIBLIY WRONG AGAIN. APPOINTMENT IN THE MORNING TO HAVE THE CODES READ AGAIN.

AFTER BACKING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, I PUT MOVED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I STEPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON TO STOP THE ROLLING. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. I AM ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS AT ALL.

ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2020, WITH ROUGHLY 45,000 MILES THE BRAKE LINE ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BURST. THIS APPEARED TO HAVE HAPPENED DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT AN ISSUE THE PREVIOUS DRIVING OCCASION. THIS CAUSED ALL THE BRAKE FLUID TO BE EXPELLED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF RUST WHEN INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN.

DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, AND WAS LOSING SPEED. MY VEHICLE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING TO HAVE ANY SPEED. A BRIGHT LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD: SERVICE TRANSMISSION, AND MY VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO COAST IT OFF EXPRESSWAY SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT OR REAR ENDED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT TOWED THERE, BUT THEY AREN'T OPEN TIL MONDAY.

NOTICE OTHER ESCAPES HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE WHEN I STARTED GOOGLING SYMPTOMS MY CAR WAS HAVING. I HEARD A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK THE ACTUAL CAPLESS INTAKE COVER RATTLES VERY LOUDLY AND CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. WHEN GAS WOULD GET PUMPED INTO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY AND WHEN IT DOES IT IDLES HARD AND RUNS ROUGH ALONG WITH BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE PIPES WITH AN OLD DEAD LIKE GAS SMELL.... I RESEARCHED AND DECIDED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS DONE WHICH TOLD ME IT WAS THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE I WATCHED VIDEOS WHERE THE NARRATOR WOULD HAVE THE ISSUE SOLVED BUT EVEN AFTER I GOT THAT WORKED ON THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE THE HUMMING NOISE ALSO CONTINUED TO DRIVE ROUGH... THERE HAS BEEN ONLY ONE SITUATION WHERE MY CAR ACTUALLY STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. LITERALLY I WAS TURNING A CORNER USING MY BRAKE AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN I PRESSED THE GAS TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND ALL LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT MADE IT CUT OFF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DRIVEWAY AND IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS.
