2007 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE, OVERHEATED THEN BLEW OUT. *AS *JS *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY JUST SOUTH OF GRANBY COLORADO WHEN ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. TRIED TO RESTART ENGINE TO NO AVAIL. THEN STEAM STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, THERE WERE YELLOW SPOTS ALL OVER AND THE COOLANT CONTAINER HAD STARTED TO MELT AND DEFORM FROM THE HEAT. I CALLED MY AAA ROAD SERVICE AND WAS TOWED INTO GRANBY TO MOUNTAIN VALLEY AUTO AND TRUCK REPAIR. HE TOOK PICTURES OF THE READINGS FROM THE COMPUTER AND HAS THOSE. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN AN ENGINE GET SO HOT BEFORE AND NO WARNING. MY SON HAS A MECHANIC FRIEND WHO CALLED SOMEONE AT FORD AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE FORD ESCAPE HAD AN ISSUE WITH OVERHEATING JUST AS MY VEHICLE DID WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN MOUNTAIN DRIVING. AFTER THE EVENT, MY SON CALLED THE FORD DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. WE HAD TO SELL THE CAR FOR JUNK. YOU CAN OBTAIN COMPUTER READINGS FROM MOUNTAIN VALLEY AUTO & TRUCK REPAIR, GRANBY COLORADO.

POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSION: WHEN I CRANK MY VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK WILL REMAIN RUNNING.

THE VEHICLE WILL REMAIN RUNNING, ONLY IF I SHIFT GEARS QUICKLY INTO 2ND GEAR OR PARK AND KEEP ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND ONE ON THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY. THESE VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL ON MY FORD ESCAPE 2007 AT FORDMOTOR.COM WHERE THEIR IS WEB PAGE TO SUBMIT MY VIN NUMBER - SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. ADAMSON FORD BIRMINGHAM, AL., HAVE CONCLUDED THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FORMS ATTACHED. *JS

THE BRAKES FAILED AT A STOP SIGN AND SENT MY DAUGHTER INTO TRAFFIC THAT WAS GOING 50 MPH. FORTUNATELY SHE PUT IT IN REVERSE AND GOT OUT BEFORE AN ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND MECHANIC SAYS IT WILL COST OVER $4000 TO FIX. AFTER RESEARCH WE SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT IS FAULTY AND A BAD DESIGN THAT RECURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD ESCAPE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. UPON INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. MAC HAIK'S SOUTHWAY FORD (7979 INTERSTATE 35 ACCESS RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78224, (210) 922-2222) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT DECLINED DUE TO THE COST.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 FORD ESCAPE ON A SOMEWHAT BUMPY COUNTRY ROAD THERE WAS SUDDENLY A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR. UPON INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE ENTIRE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT IN THE RIGHT REAR HAD BROKEN FREE FROM THE BODY DUE TO RUST, CAUSING THE SHOCK TO RIDE FREELY INTO THE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT HITTING THE PLASTIC PANEL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE HAS 164K MILES.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WE'RE HAVING WITH OUR ESCAPE STALLING AND NOT RUNNING. WE WENT TO A MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED THERE HAVE BEEN MANY RECALLS ON ESCAPE TRANSMISSIONS AND WE SHOULD REPORT THIS ONE AS WELL AS IT DOESN'T HAVE MANY MILES FOR ITS AGE.

WHEEL BEARING MAKING NOISE FROM BOTH SIDES

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS OFTEN, AND FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS UNDER THE PEDAL, STOPPING IT FROM BEING DEPRESSED. THIS CAUSES SUDDEN REDUCTION OF SPEED AND THEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSING HARD TO GET THE PEDAL TO GO DOWN. FORD PREVIOUSLY RECALLED THROTTLE BODY'S IN ESCAPES FROM 2009-2012. I BELIEVE THE 2007 FORD ESCAPE MODEL SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT RECALL! THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY PROBLEM! MINE HAS BEING DOING THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND HAS GOTTEN WAY WORSE SO IT WILL NEED TO BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE OVERDRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

I HAVE REPLACED THE ABS TONE RINGS IN MY VEHICLE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. TWO OF THE TIMES IT BROKE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON A MAJOR ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO BREAK THIS OFTEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE IT CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY A FORD DEALER BECAUSE OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

BAD REAR DOOR SWITCH. I BOUGHT MY SUV USED ON JULY 14, 2014. THE DOME LIGHT KEPT GOING OFF OR STAYING ON. THE DOORS WOULD OR WOULDN'T LOCK. THE HORN WOULD GO OFF RANDOMLY. THIS IS ALL WITHIN THE FIRST THREE OR FOUR DAYS OF MY OWNING IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT TOOK THEM A WHILE BUT THEY FINALLY REALIZED IT WAS A BAD REAR DOOR SWITCH. THE DEALER FIXED IT AT NO COST TO ME, BUT I SAW THE BILL WAS ABOUT $600. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN. MY FRIEND HAS A 2006 FORD ESCAPE. SHE HAS BEEN HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. SHE SAID THE HORN WAS THE WEATHER INDUCED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE SEASONS CHANGE THAT MY HORN GOES OFF MORE OFTEN. ONE DAY I WAS VISITING HER, AND MY HORN WENT OFFF, SO I USED MY KEY FOB TO TURN IT OFF, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THAT'S WHEN WE REALIZED IT WAS HER CAR GOING OFF. BARELY A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, HER HORN WENT OFF AGAIN. SHE WENT TO TURN IT OFF AND IT WOULDN'T WORK, BECAUSE THIS TIME IT WAS MY CAR. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN THE MOST OBNOXIOUS YET. MY DOME LIGHT, KEEPS GOING OFF AND ON WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. THE HORN GOES OFF ALL THE TIME. 5 AM, 2PM, 9 AM, SO FAR IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED. AND THE LIGHT ON MY DASH, KEEPS TELLING ME THAT MY DOOR IS AJAR. IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT ALMOST NONSTOP FOR A COUPLE WEEKS NOW. I DON'T EVEN CHECK THE DOORS ANYMORE. A COUPLE DAYS AGO I HAD A FRIEND IN MY CAR, THE CAR BEEPED AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON. I ASSURED HER THAT THE CAR WAS CONFUSED. THEN WHILE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED ROAD

RECENTLY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK ON MY 2007 FORD ESCAPE AND I HAD TO RUN INTO A CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE, ITY CAUSED ABOUT $1500 DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NO PERSONNEL INJURIES WERE CAUSED. I HAD TO RUN THE CAR INTO A CURB TO KEEP FROM REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE.
