When your driving ass "go power" is lost and a wrench light illuminates in the lower left corrner. it does not matter where im driving but it just decides to do it when it wants to. has happened 3 times in the past month or so its happend when i was going 10mphs and 30 mphs and about 45mph...super super scary luckly no one was behind me all times... last time this happend was on 7/23/2019
On july 9, 2019 i was exiting the expressway and my vehicle began stalling at which time the odometer went down from 50 down to 0 immediately causing me to pull over to the side. thank god i was already in the processing of exiting. no warning lights on the dashboard at all. i turned the car off, and then turned it back on. i took my car to firestone who was unable to perform a diagnostic at the time, and suggested that i bring it back. this is very dangerous and of great concern. this vehicle has only 42,460 miles or so on it, and i don't feel that i should be encountering this problem. i have had it since 2010 and at the time purchased at 18,000 miles or so. i drive my vehicle locally only. i have read that this a problem with ford escapes, and i believe that this issue should be listed as a recall. please help!
Takata recall since i bought this car a lot of problems with electrics issue sensors, power steering, ignition, speeding sensors, (all electrics) the worst one is power steering. there was a recall on line for this model but not for my car. (why not my car?) there are in recall all 2008 - 2011 ford escapes
in may 2015,i purchased my 2009 ford xscape four-cylinder hybrid from a ford dealer. the car has been driven by an older woman and mostly kept in a garage so the mileage was low at about 45,000 miles. at approximately october 2018, at 70,000 miles i entered the freeway and when i accelerate the wrench light went on and i could not accelerate . this happened a few more times randomly under completely different circumstances but mostly when i needed extra power. i would pull over and turn off the ignition, turn it back on and the wrench light would be off. i took it to the dealer and they could not determine via computer what the issue was. could not find a code for the problem. they could not replicate the problem.they said it might've been bad gasoline. have not had the wrench light or 'limping home' issue sincejuly 2019 with vehicle currently at 79,000 miles. out of nowhere this month, i am now having the same issue with wrench light and limping home. engine light is on now, with wrench light. if i pull over turn the car off and on ...
Happened three times in 20 minutes on 08/16/2018: vehicle was in motion each time, suddenly and without warning engine stopped, all warning lights lit up on dashboard and lost complete control of steering, speed control. wheels locked up and almost caused multiple accidents. had to pull over and turn on vehicle again.
Engine turns off when driving. this happens at different speeds in varying conditions; ie. driving slow, driving fast, on the highway on side streets.
While driving on freeway at 70mph, wrench light and check engine light came on and car suddenly slowed to 40mph. this happened twice in a week. the trouble code shows p2112. dealer says that my vin is not covered by the consumer satisfaction program 13n03, but i have experienced the same problem. dealer says etb must be replaced. i will have to pay for it.
Takata recall, with driving my 2009 ford escape, i realized whenever i am proceeding to press on the gas at a stop sign or at a traffic light, the acceleration takes time to pick up speed, and when trying to pick up the minimum speed locally it feels like i have to press hard for the truck to accelerate more. and when i'm merging on the highway it is very scary because when pressing down on the gas it stalls, alot let alone when i have to press on the brakes, it takes long to pick up speed again. also when driving up a steep hill, the truck appears that it can't accelerate fast enough,the acceleration is horrible, and i am starting to become very afraid driving my own very, not knowing wether something is going to happen to me, when driving.
Vehicle would stall out, all power loss during driving. p2111 throttle issue. happened 3 times. during acceleration/deceleration (especially on slopes) vehicle would just lose all power. had to stop and shut off ignition before it would work again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 ford escape. while the contact's spouse was driving various speeds, the steering wheel seized and the power steering failed. while making right or left turns, the steering failed without warning on several occasions. also, when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle lunged forward without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the local ford dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 124,000.
Power steering goes out, at all speeds now (my esc light is on the dash and won't go off) hard to steer wheel when at a stop or to make a turn. make it's hard to park a car.
Intended to park car in front of garage. vehicle suddenly sped up uncontrollably,driver applied bakes and turned sharply yet the vehicle hit the garage structure causing damage to the vehicle and the house.
Ford esacape throttle body i own a 2009 ford escape and was issued a recall for throttle body. i took my car to dealership and they replaced under warranty. 10 months later my car has the same problem with throttle body. it slows down to a crawl at a moments notice. i am a cath lab tech for a local hospital and was called in the middle of the night. while driving to hospital my wrench and engine light went on suddenly and my car slowed down to a crawl. i kept my foot on gas because i have to get to hospital. i am on a heart team and it is critical. thankfully it was midnight because there were no other cars on the road. but it could have happened during the day with my kids in the car. i felt confident that my car was repaired with recall but now 10 months later it happens again. called dealership and ford service and was told they will not warranty. i have gone over the mileage amount for them to warranty. but what they fail to acknowledge is the elephant in the room. something is ...
