My 2012 ford escape suddenly loses power when driving. it happened on the highway and i was almost rear ended. i googled the symptoms and found that it is probably the etb electronic throttle body. this is dangerous and nhtsa did not issue a recall or protect the public by requiring ford to provide towing. instead nhtsa only required that ford extend the warranty an additional 10 years leaving ford owners at risk of injury or worse.
After having the recall 16s41 fuel delivery module flange replacement service, my vehicle would occasionally not successfully start but would continue to try. i called the dealership where it was serviced and they took a look, but found nothing. less than two months have passed and i notice new issues; vehicle chugs down the highway almost boggy-like; when filling with gasoline the pump stops at 3/4 tank and not full; spits gasoline back out; overall sounds significantly different running.
Occasionally when fueling the pump will stop prematurely. the dash will say it's full but 5 miles later your at 3/4 tank. and topping off is illegal so there's not a way to get past it. car was off, parked, and next to a gas station pump.
On approximately may 25, 2019, i was at a local gas station to fill up my vehicle, a 2012 ford escape xlt, with gas. while filling the gas tank to full, the automatic shut off failed causing gas to forcefully splash back out of the gas tank, onto me and the ground next to the gas pump. the attendant at the gas station followed their protocol for a gas spill. i filled up the gas take at other local gas stations and the problem continued. on june 5, 2019 i scheduled a repair at my local ford dealership. i paid for a faulty vent valve and a solenoid asy to be replaced for $ 463.08. they stated on my receipt that they added 6 gallons of gas to confirm the repair. a week later i refueled my vehicle in another city, and the problem with the gas overflowing continued. i took the vehicle back to the ford dealership july 5, 2019, and explained the problem was not resolved. they told me they dropped the gas tank and tested the components and told me it was a faulty valve. they informed me "they talked to detroit" and i would need to ...
Pulling out from a red light, the car made a whirring noise and hesitated to move then started jumping when the accelerator was pressed. drove car approximately 2 miles and the car made the noise, hesitated and started jumping again. made to a parking lot and parked car. a transmission specialist checked it out and said the transmission is locked in high gear.
The car has had problems with acceleration dealing with the fuel on the highway. i have also noticed that my car seems to be loosing miles or fuel. the engine light has come on twice in the last week with fueling codes.

The area of most concern is the issue with the steering. eight months ago, i suddenly lost power steering just after exiting a freeway. now it is making the same sound again and my mechanic feels the wheel may lock completely.i drive mountain passes, which makes this exceptionally dangerous. contact with local and corporate ford says it is my problem to get it over an hour away to the dealer, and repair will be at my expense, even though many people have had this same issue. to make matters worse, i learned only after contacting ford about the steering issue, that there is a safety recall on the fuel module, which could cause fire. i received no notice of this until i reported the steering issue to the company. the dealer tells me it will take four weeks to get the parts to fix the safety recall. in the meantime, i am losing income every day as i drive for a living. no concern for the safety of me, my family, or others on the road.
In a private parking lot, after executing a 90 degree left turn into a parking spot and with the brake pedal applied in order to slow then stop the vehicle, the vehicle surged forward just before coming to a complete stop. you could hear the engine rev up as it surged forward. application of the brake pedal did nothing to slow it down. after the vehicle was jarred by striking the curb the engine returned to normal idol. so much power was applied in the surge that the vehicle jumped a curb, traveled over a a grass plot and struck another car on the other side. our ford escape suffered front end damage (toward drivers side) and the other vehicle (a ford eco -boost) suffered front and drivers side damage. note that the vehicle was traveling forward at about one mph (almost to a full stop) when the surge occurred. as it surged the speed increased rapidly to about seven to ten mph. the vehicles were not towed at the time but when driving a short distance home a severe defect in the steering (pull to the left) was noticed making it virtually inoperable. the vehicle will be ...
