At 76,851 miles my transmission failed and according to ford metal pieces found was found in the fluid i was on my way home when my vehicle just stopped in the middle of on going traffic i've only have it for two years and take very good care of it but was never told that any transmission issues were detected before that the bypass coolant valved code would appear even though i have repair it twice this year .
I was driving my 2015 ford escape going about 50mph when my steering wheel just froze. it took all of my strength to try to turn the wheel so i could get myself off the main road and out of everyone's way. i got myself to the side and couldn't turn the wheel at all. luckily my family wasn't too far so my dad was gonna help me get my car home but he couldn't even turn the wheel. we had to call for a tow truck. also my 2015 ford escape would stall after pumping gas, taking several attempts to start my car and at times not starting at all after filling my tank. it has stalled on me serversl times while driving on the main road leaving me stranded and holding up traffic on busy roads. low tire pressure/ tire pressure sensor fault warning light appears often even though all tires are at correct pressures abs and traction control appears noisy cabin makes buzzing noises behind stereo even when car is off stereo malfunctions happen often where cds get stuck and stereo says 'no cd' while trying to eject it.
While driving on highway 278 in pa, vehicle experienced loss of power to steering, i pulled the vehicle road side, turned off power , restarted the vehicle. steering was still stiff could not move it freely. i have contacted nearest ford dealer.
I was sitting i the truck letting it warm up before i started my day i was scrolling threw my phone i looked up i saw hudge flames i reached to unlock the door when i realized the locks stopped working i was locked in the car luckily i had my windows cracked enough to reach out and open the door the radio blew up on my way out the car it was so hot i didn't expect anything i never had this problem before scared me to death worst car experience of my life i was scared to death i can't explain how bad i feel my truck was my new best friend i kept the truck clean pretty i'm hurt it's burned all up almost took my life if i would have look up any later i would have died
When i purchased the vehicle this recall was already in affect
While backing into a parking space, the abs and traction control lights started flashing and audible warnings sounded. the car started shaking. i was unable to stop or steer my car. i had a low speed collision with a properly parked car. thank god no one was injured. had this happened on an open road the outcome would have been different. i had reported this problem to my dealer previously. they applied an existing recall saying that it fixed the issue. that was on the 20th of october 2015. the car is being towed to my dealer's body shop for inspection by usaa. i never want to drive it again. i am told to trade it in . how in good conscience can i do that??
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford escape. while braking, the steering became difficult to maneuver and the vehicle veered into the other lane. the vehicle was taken to several mechanics, but the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was safe to drive, although the failure occurred daily. the tires were also checked and were verified as safe and in good condition. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was 15,000.
