Ford Escape Change Vehicle

“Bottom edge of tailgate rusted and paint peeling badly. White metal hinges to tailgate glass completely rotted out and broke free from window”

“the mecanism stop opening”

“Tailgate latch would not unlock either manually or by electrical. Out of pocket expense was several hundred dollars for this to be repaired. Dealership knew right away it was nothing I could do to fix the problem. They must have had other failure”

“The tailgate window had to be resealed as it leaked. The issue was fixed but continues to leak”

“Hatch window leaked. Fixed several time. Still leaked. Leak caused sensors to break. Now hatch door is rusting”

“Rear window hinges started to disintegrate turning to a white powder. Replaced with new factory units and they are starting to go the same way in less then 1 year”

“paint is cracking off the rear hatch”

“paint cracking”

“Bottom of tailgate had rust”

“I am waiting on the verdict - but the back hatch will not open and there is now leaking. The hatch attachment has rusted. The Ford dealership said this was common - but will not fix the issue on recall”

“rear window fell int door pocket while in use - could not be closed. Second rear window to fail in same manner”

“One of the door windows fell out of its track”

“Sunroof has not closed without multiple attempts to close it for 2 years. Eventually it does close. Repairs are too expensive”

“The fuel recovery system failed requiring that a unit be replaced in the vehicle. The Ford dealer initially refused to help as the car was 240Km out of warranty. I complained and Ford paid for 80% of the bill”

“An emissions control unit became defective resulting in the check engine light coming on. Once the unit was replaced I've had no issues with the emissions control”

“Second problem with a very expensive emission control component. Now intermittent”

“This capless system has been a flop for my car. The engine light for my fuel cap has been on since 25,000 miles, but Ford would not cover anything over three years. The dealer said I must have gotten dirt in my fuel system. The engine light is stil”

“source of engine trouble light”

“Engine light came on as if the cap is leaking. Does not have a cap. Garage says a pin hole somewhere in the polution emission and cant find it. Ever so often the light goes out then comes back on. Not supposed to be serious”

“Capless inlet, occasional errors and there's a recall on it now”

“Throttle body malfunctioned”

“Throttle body failed. Cause the car to shut off spontaneously. Was replaced by Ford Dealership at no cost”

“Corroded wiring harness”

“Throtle sensor became fouled with carbon”

“indicator light - checked code. P144A”

“They had to be replaced. Possibly normal wear”

“Rear shocks minor leaking”

“a suspension stabilizing part has required replacement twice”

“stabilizer bars had to be replaced”

“steering link wore out became loose.Replaced”

“It seems that every 8 months or so the front end of this vehicle needs some significant replacement of parts”

“Replace two front swaybar links”

“Steering wheel no longer has a tight connection, there is play before the steering begins either direction accompanied by clunks”

“The last two years, they have been repaired twice and now there is a problem again”

“wheel bearings in 2 wheels have reqired replacement already”

“Bearings wore out around 80,000 miles. This is my second ford vehicle that the bearings wore out around 80,000 miles”

“Front left wheel bearing became noisy and had to be replaced”

“when braking, transmission jerks into lower gear. Mechanic said it was an "Escape" problem and nothing can be done”

“Off and on very rough shifting. Dealer found no problem. Private mechanic found dirty fluid and replaced”

“I think they ended up clearing the cpu memory and another minor repair to correct the issue”

“transmission will slip and jerk into lower gear when breaking”

“We were NEVER told what the problem was with our Ford Escape, we were never told what it would take to fix our car, we were ignored for 7 years, while we continued to make our payments, kept insurance in force and rented vehicles for 7 years”

“Transmission seal leak at 75000 miles. Cost $450 to repair. Now car has front engine seal leak and cam seal leak which will require another $1000 to repair”

“Differential leak around the seal to drain the fluid x 2”

“Front halfshaft seals were leaking. Seal was inexpensive but the labor to replace was massive. Car has never been abused. At 55,000km this seemed premature. Dealer wanted to replace shocks as well though handling was still sound”

“Loss of transmission fluid caused rough shifting problems”

“$37 dollar seal, $600 total repair”

“There was a recall for a lubricant”

“We had a sensor failure, FORD replaced no questions asked. It was 1moth out of warranty.Ford did a great job, works fine now”

“One of the wheel sensors went bad”

“Ford couldn't correct a noise issue Went to a private garage for correction for satisfaction”

“Normal brake ware for ny driving”

“Front pads and rotors needed replacing”

“Front disc brakes required maintenance because of use”

“normal break wear therefore they needed to be changed”

“Pads needed replaced because rotors were bad”

“Dealership said when the car was made they went with thinner rotors to save weight. That's why the Escape needed to have them replaced already and not resurfaced”

“We have had this car for 2 years and this is the second time replacing brakes and rotors”

“Had less than 30,000 miles and needed NEW rotors because of rust and pitting. Car has ALWAYS been garaged .Does Ford use cheap sub-standard quality steel for rotors?”

“Dashboard lights fluxuate brightness unexpectedly. Foe example, raining out and lights will go from bright to dim and may switch back to bright”

“When using either keyless entry or key fob to lock or unlock doors, the driver side door locks both front and back will not respond (the passenger side works perfectly)”

“car did not come with remote starter. we purchased unit from dealer. it took 5 weeks for it to arrive & when it was installed the wire from battery was left dangling & shorted out. it took 3 trips back to the dealer to have corrected”

“intermittent warning - not actually low, then works”

“Intermittent signal of sensor fault”

“Bluetooth function not working”

“Recently the rear washer stopped working. Then the battery went completely dead. The serviceman said that the motor shorted out the whole system and they disconnected the rear wiper. This solved the short. Part is on order to be installed soon”

“the drivers side washer fluid is constantly losing pressure. I've changed the nozzles several times, clenaed out the system, even cleaned the washer fluid resevoir”

“we also had to return to the 3 different times to have this problem solved. the wipers would just stop working during a rain storm. finally the unit(was on back order) & all wiring were replaced. 2 years now & no more problems”

“Recently my battery went dead on my car. After changing it (it was only 2 1/2 yrs old) it was dead 10 days later. Come to find out the rear windshield wiper was trying to go on and was draining my battery. It was going to be well over 200 dollars for the motor so I chose to disconnect it”

“There was a short that kept draining the battery”

“alarm goes off without reason”

“Lost power and shut down. Fixed by turning off and back on. Recurrent. Later came out on recall notice”

“Engine would shut down while driving”

“engine light continues to come on and seems linked to capless fuel cap”

“engine light came on...took to ford dealer and they fixed it with a "program" part”

“55 MPH on major uphill though fare o in rush hour traffic the engine stalls leaving me with no power to control my speed. As my car quickly reduces speed was able to limp to side of road shut off engine and then was able to turn on engine to engage and transmission to get to top of and glide down and make it home in "limp home mode" w/ emergency caution flashers turned on. Throttle body failure was diagnosed by my private mechanic”

“During extreme cold weather it leaks oil”

“Oil seals. Repair covered under warranty”

“The main crankshaft seals were replaced twice, once after 4 years in service, and then 12 months after that I paid for. After the second set was installed, it began leaking AGAIN. This time the Ford dealer replaced these with a new Ford design for wh”

“receiving calls hands free”

“Stress cracks caused exhaust leaks”

“Fuse failure that controlled the fuel injectors”

“The starter would occasionally fail to ignite the hybrid battery, leaving me occasionally in precarious situations. I got it started every time and took it in. The repair would have been $500 if I had not purchased an extended warranty”

“Vehicle transmission sticks in park when very cold outside”

“Oil leak”

“Car had to be brought back 4or 5 different times to finally find where the leak was coming from.First l was told it was the oil pan which they replaced at an additional cost,then the it another oil case they said was leaking,all in all it cost a lot”

“Fluid leak”

“pairing is unreliable. I don't use it anymore”

“repeated problems syncing phone to vehicle”

“Radio had bad module which caused a parasitic drain. Took two months, two batteries and a generator before it was diagnosed. As a 61 yr old who traded cars way too often over the years, this was the most frustrating experience I have ever had. I k”

“Speakers crackled and buzzed. Very difficult to get replaced. Dealer claimed never heard problem. Finally got replaced”

“2 recalls for the Escape”

“Usually unresponsive to voice commands”

“It's starting to have to turn it farther than normal,doesn't seem like it's catching as quikly as in the past”

“time to replace the spark plugs”

“Engine ran rough for quite a while. Took it in and even asked if they would check the spark plugs. Was told plugs were meant to last 100000 mile (I only had 30,000). "That's not the problem." Two years and 16,000 miles later, found faulty spark plug”

“Dead miss due to coil failure in one cylinder”

“Vehicle tied up for 3 weeks for transmission repair. Vehicle worked fine until longer driving trips then started skipping gears”

“The transmission shifted at a high rpm and kicked into gear, instead of slowly shifting. The computer needed to be flashed an update, which they charged me for. Other things were tried, but in the end, a used transmission was installed”

“The transmission failed and Ford refused to fix it even though it was under warranty. WE had to sue Ford and recently settled after 7 years of delays by Ford. We had been 20 year faithful users of Ford, will never again buy their products under any circumstance. We were seriously cheated. I would be glad to voice my rage against Ford for how we were treated...like crap!!!”

“Due to a sensor which failed recently after original purchase the transmission needed a rebuild”
