THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITH OUT NOTICE ON MY WIFE AND CAUSED HER TO LOSE CONTROL ENTERING OUR DRIVEWAY. SHE DROVE INTO THE MAILBOX AND FRONT DITCH. I PULLED THE SUV OUT AND WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER DUE TO THIS CONCERN AND RECALL 14V284000. THE STEERING UNIT HAD FAILED AS CLAIMED IN THE RECALL ISSUED BY FORD, HOWEVER THEY CLAIM SINCE IT WAS CHECKED A YEAR AND A HALF OK IT IS NO LONGER COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION REGARDING THE FUEL LEAK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. EARLIER THAT DAY, THE CONTACT FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND JERKED AFTER CRANKING THE ENGINE AND STALLED OUT WHILE STILL. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE, IT WAS CITED THE CAR HAS A "GROSS VACUUM LEAK" INDICATING THAT THE "EASY FUEL" GAS FLAP IS NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MOST FORD ESCAPE OWNERS AND EVEN OTHER FORD OWNERS THAT HAVE THE "EASY FUEL" SYSTEM. THE SUGGESTED SOLUTION BY MOST DEALERS AND TECHNICIANS IS TO EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE FUEL FILL PUMP, HOWEVER THE REPAIR SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COSTLY FOR AN ISSUE IMPACTING OWNERS BASED ON A FAULTY "EASY FUEL" SYSTEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE IT. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING. THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE DING IN MY CAR AND IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, OR SIMILAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK (THANK GOODNESS) AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THEM BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN, I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL HONOR RECALLS FROM READING NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH RESPONSES I HAVE READ, THEY ARE NO LONGER HONORING THEM. I AM A 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS SHOULD BE AN ONGOING RECALL, THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND IF MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR... THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE... WITHOUT WARNING IT GOES OUT? THIS COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE. *TR

A FEW WEEKS AGO I BEGAN NOTICING THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE (REALLY MORE OF A JERKING BACK AND FORTH MOTION) WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. SOON IT WAS DOING IT EVERY TIME THE CAR SLOWED OR STOPPED. NOW I CAN FEEL THE JERKING OF THE WHEEL EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A FIRESTONE FOR SERVICE WHO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS PART OF A FORD RECALL (14-S05) AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND THAT I NEED TO PAY $1000 FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN. I CALLED FORD WHO SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE POWER STEERING CAN COMPLETELY GO OUT (WHICH THEY KNOW). MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD ISSUES GETTING FORD TO HONOR THE RECALL AND FIX THEIR STEERING COLUMN. *TR

IN JULY 2014, FORD ISSUED A RECALL (14S05/NHTSA RECALL 14V-284) FOR DEFECTIVE TORQUE SENSORS (FOR POWER STEERING). MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. FORD HAD AN OPTION OF RE-PROGRAMMING OR REPLACING THE PART. ALTHOUGH I WASN'T EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM AT THE TIME, FORD REPROGRAMMED MY VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. BUT IN JAN. 2017, THE DEFECTIVE PART FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET.. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE SENSOR AT THE FORD SERVICE DEALER IN PUTNAM, CT AT A COST OF OVER $500. I ENDED UP PAYING TO REPLACE AN ADMITTEDLY DEFECTIVE PART WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FORD. I BELIEVE THE RE-PROGRAMMING DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *TR

HAD TO HAVE THROTTLE BODY REPLACE FOR SECOND TIME FIRST TIME IN DECEMBER 1 2015 SAME ISSUE OCCURRED JANUARY 13 2017 FIRST TIME PAID NOTHING BUT THAT WAS AFTER ME HAVING TO INFORM THEM OF THE 13N03 CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION FROM FORD. THIS TIME HAD TO PAY 100 DOLLARS AS THEY CALL IT DEDUCTIBLE THIS CAR IS A 2010 HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILE ON ITS THIRD THROTTLE BODY . WELL MY COMPLAINT IS IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE TWICE WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AT ALL . BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED WAS LIGHT CITY TRAFFIC AND BOTH TIMES WHEN MY WIFE WAS ON THE WAY TO PICK UP OUR CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND WHILE TRAVELING UNDER 40 MPH I WANT MY FAMILY SAFE GOD FORBID IT HAPPEN ON FREEWAY FAR FROM HOME PLEASE PLEASE RESOLVE BOTH ISSUES THANK YOU *TR

I SENT THIS EMAIL TO FORD IN SEPTEMBER 2014 I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT WHERE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT A DEER WHICH LANDED ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WHICH SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF TINY SHARDS OF GLASS. FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE BEING DEALING WITH THOUSANDS OF TINY SHARDS EMBEDDED THROUGH OUT MY BODY (FACE, LIPS, HANDS, ARMS, LEGS, NECK, CHEST) WHICH OVER TIME ARE WORKING THEIR WAY OUT. IT IS VERY PAINFUL AND LEAVING SCARS AND DISRUPTING MY SLEEP ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, I TURNED ON THE HEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HUNDREDS OF SHARDS OF GLASS BLEW OUT THE HEATER VENTS. MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. I THINK YOU SHOULD TEST THE WINDSHIELDS OF SIMILAR CARS FROM THAT LOT TO MAKE SURE THE SAFETY GLASS WAS PROPERLY KILNED OR WHATEVER TREATMENT PROCESS SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT POTENTIALLY EXPERIENCE THE SAME INCIDENT. I QUESTION ALSO IF THE IMPACT EXPLODED THE GLASS IN A SIMILAR WAY THE REAR WINDOW HATCH GLASS THAT IS FREQUENTLY FOUND ON-LINE AND IF THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WINDSHIELDS HAD SOME TYPE OF QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE. AT A LOST OF WORDS GIVEN THIS IS THE SECOND EMAIL I AM SENDING TO YOUR CORPORATION REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. I CAN BE REACHED AT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY ON A FAIRLY COLD DAY (TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 30S). AFTER LOADING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND UPON CLOSING THE LIFTGATE, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF A CHIPPED/DAMAGED WINDOW. THE LIFTGATE WAS NOT SLAMMED HARDER THAN USUAL AND THERE WERE NO ITEMS BLOCKING IT FROM CLOSING.

I HAD MY CAR PROGRAMMING UPDATED AND JUST RECENTLY, MY POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHICH IS CAUSING ME TO NEED MY WHOLE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED. I CONTACTED FORD, HOWEVER, THEY STATED SINCE THEY "CLOSED" RECALL 14S05, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGES. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK NOW AS I BATTLE WITH FORD. FORD AND STERLING MCCALL ARE RUDE AND WILL NEED ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE AS THE RECALL REPAIR HAS FAILED THE 1ST TIME AND NOW THE POWER STEERING WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS IN MOTION WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHEN THE STEERING WHEN OUT, BUT LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT.
