2010 Ford Escape complaints

REPLACE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES BEGIN TO MAKE LOUD NOISES THEN IT WILL SLOW DOWN AS I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THEN IT WILL PICK BACKUP WITH SPEED. AFTER WHICH I BEGAN TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL AS IF THE TIRES ARE BURNING..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, EXTRA FORCE WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

A YEAR AGO BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON/OFF. HAD FRONT BRAKE LINE CHANGED. BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ON AGAIN OFF & ON OPERATING OKAY UNTIL A MONTH AGO THE ABS LIGHT WITH BRAKE SYSTEM ON AND VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKE CONTROL FORWARD AND BACKWARD. HAD BRAKES PADS CHANGED AND HOSES FOR BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED. AND STILL ABS + BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ON AND NO BRAKE CONTROL. HAD CAR TOWED FROM HOME TO DEALERSHIP. ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR BRAKING AND WAS TOLD NON. LUCKILY MOST ON THE NON BRAKING FUNCTIONS HAPPENED IN LOW SPEED AREA, NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDE STREETS AND A LITTLE ON MAIN 2NDARY ROAD. THERE'S LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. SAFETY ISSUE.

MY ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO DRIVE - I ONLY HAVE 70,000 MILES ON MY FORD ESCAPE - I WAS PARKING MY CAR WHEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF THEN WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I TRIED CALLING FORD AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP .

ACCORDING TO YOUR VIN SEARCH, MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE 5 RECALLS ON THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. NOW WITH THAT SAID, 1 RECALL THAT IS LISTED, I AM HAVING A FUEL LEAK JUST AS IT IS DESCRIBED BUT AGAIN MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THAT RECALL AND IT SHOULD. EVERYTIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS TO INFORM THAT THE TANK IS FULL, THE GAS STARTS TO LEAK VERY BADLY FROM UP UNDERNEATH AND THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME.

MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE HAS 2 MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD ISSUE WITH MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WHERE THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERS WHILECLOSING THE GATE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY WILL NOT FIX. GLASS SHATTERS INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND PROJECTS 10-15 FEET IN ANY GIVEN DIRECTION. YET, FORD WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHERE I HAVE HAD GLASS SHOT AT MY FACE AND I ALSO HAVE A DOG THAT IS OFTEN PUT IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY FORD WILL DO SOMETHING IS IF I PAY. I ALSO WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT FILED COMPLAINTS THINKING THIS IS A FLUKE ACCIDENT AND MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH INSURANCE. I KNOW IT IS NO FLUKE SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND TALKING WITH FORD THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE FILED TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. THE SECOND IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR WILL LOOSE ALL POWER AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLS. THE TECHNICAL (NOT A FORD ONE) THAT I BROUGHT THIS TO SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE BUT FORD WAS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THEM. *JS

DRIVING ON CITY STREET ONCE AT ABOUT 30MPH THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 60MPH THE SECOND TIME. I SUDDENLY LOSE SPEED AND VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE WRENCH LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. I CAN TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTART AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A MONTH. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR UNDER FIELD SERVICE ACTION 13NO3. FORD REFUSED TO REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE OFF MY VEHICLE INDICATING IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. SO I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, HAVE IT TOWED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING SO THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL STAY ON BECAUSE IT GOES OFF WHEN I RESTART IT.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. PER THE FORD DEALER IT IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IF IT DOES IT DURING A TEST DRIVE BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS PATENTLY UNSAFE. IT SHUTS DOWN IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SURFACE ROAD SPEEDS, WHILE MOVING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER - FOWLER FORD - IS NOT FOLLOWING FORD'S DIRECTIVE AND IS CHARGING ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHEN FORD SAYS NOT TO. THE 2010 FORD ESCAPE IS A DEATH TRAP. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR LESS SERIOUS ISSUES, BUT THE ONE ISSUE THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL? THIS MAKES NO SENSE, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE. WHY WAS FORD ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A PART THAT FAILS RANDOMLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS THAT FORD WAS GIVEN A PASS ON AN ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING AT POSTED SPEEDS ON A STATE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT LIMP. AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH IN IDLE. THE WRENCH ICON ALSO COMES ON. WHEN USING AN OBD2 READER A CODE OF P2112 WAS GIVEN. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN A SPAN OF 2 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY.

LOST POWER STEERING AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SOUNDED AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO START, BUT IT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. A FRIEND OF THE CONTACT'S FAMILY GOOGLED THE FAILURE, WHICH INDICATED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP SWITCH LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH 25 MPH LIMITS AND NO CARS WERE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY ON EACH OCCASION.

THE REAR SHOCK UPPER MOUNTING TOWER AND SUPPORT HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND DETACHED FROM FRAME OF VEHICLE CAUSING REAR WHEEL TO LOOSE CONTACT WITH ROAD. VEHICLE THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE FRAME RUST / DAMAGE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

WINDOW REGULATOR ON 3 OF 4 WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED. CABLE BREAKS (LOUD, STARTLING BANG), WINDOW "DROPS" AND CANNOT BE RAISED. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN 2017, ONE OCCURRED WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND OCCUPIED IN 2018, AND ONE OCCURRED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED AND VACANT (6/27/19).

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE VEHICLE FLEX FUEL SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE HAVE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND REVIEWED BY MECHANICS, WHO COME BACK WITH ONE ISSUE, THE FLEX FUEL SET UP. SO WE ORDERED AND REPLACED THE FLEX FUEL PIPE 2 TIMES NOW. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO POP BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS GO BY. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FROM A DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I AM SCARED TO DEATH SHE WILL CRASH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ON THE INTERSTATE. THE 2011 RECALL FORD ISSUED COVERED THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, WHICH IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MY DAUGHTER JUST CALLED AND STATED THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF 5 TIMES IN THE COURSE OF A MILE. LUCKILY, SHE WAS LOCAL.

***THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS!!!*** ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SCARY & DANGEROUS SITUATION TO STEER THE CAR. IT SEEMS AFTER I PULL OVER & TURN ON & OFF IT WORKS AGAIN FOR A WHILE, BUT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN.. FORD COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE MAKES & MODELS, BUT SAY RECALL IS NOT ON THIS ONE--(WHICH IT CLEARLY LANDS ON THE DATES & MANUFACTURING PLANT)

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAMO ,THEN ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I COULDN'T MOVE TO EITHER SIDE AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WHEN I'M OFF AND I HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN,IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ,THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED,

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP WHETHER IT BE A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE RPM'S OVER REV HIGHER AT THE TIME OF LEAVING FROM A STOP WHEN GAS IS GIVEN TO VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS BACK UP TO SPEED THE RPM'S DROP BACK TO A NORMAL RANGE.

BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE RUSTING. THIS STARTING HAPPENING AROUND 2016. I SEE MANY OTHER 2010 ESCAPES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM.

UNABLE TO CLOSE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR - WON'T LATCH OR CLOSE

2010 FORD ESCAPE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL MALFUNCTIONS AND SPEED DIAL FALLS TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.

STEERING COLUMN BEGAN TO LOOSEN AND SHAKE, IMPAIRING STEERING ABILITY. MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (CODE B2278), WHICH WAS COVERED BY RECALL 14S05, WHICH INCLUDED THE FACTORY AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING LOST INTERMITTENTLY. POWER STEERING MODULE ASSEMBLY WAS FIXED UNDER RECALL IN 2015 BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN. FORD WONT STAND BY THE PART THEY FIXED IT WITH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU LOSE POWER STEERING DUE TO A FAILED PART.

ISSUE WITH ABS MODULE SYSTEM- BRAKE PEDAL WAS INTERMITTENTLY SOFT WHILE DRIVING, AND BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE LATE IN PEDAL PROGRESSION. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER TO FIX ISSUE. ISSUE CONTINUED AND NOW HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BECAUSE OF A BAD ABS MODULE, AND FORD WILL NOT FIX. LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND BRAKES NO LONGER WORK PROPERLY.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD ESCAPE AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT, THERE ARE SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT. WHY? MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED THERE WAS NO WARNING IT JUST WENT OUT--THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MY CARS MAINTENANCE AND BEFORE MY HUSBAND LEFT OUT OF TOWN I MADE SURE THAT THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND ALL WAS GOOD WITH THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THE FORD DEALER IF IT NEEDED POWER STEERING AND THEY SAID NO ITS ELECTRICAL. NOW I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WITH NO POWER STEERING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A CLICK AND LOST MY POWER STEERING. IT CAME BACK AND THEN OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY IGNITION. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RE-STARTED IT, IT AGAIN KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN POWER AND MANUAL STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH DOWN BACK ROADS TO MY HOME.

THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY FAILED THIS YEAR WHILE MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN. IT WAS NECESSARY TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AT A COST OF $1265.43 WHICH FORD REFUSES TO PAY EVEN THOUGH THIS REPAIR IS SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASHBOARD WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT APPEARS DESPITE A RECALL #14S05 BEING DONE BY FIRST OWNER IN OCTOBER 2014 SAME ISSUE HAS AGAIN HAPPENED. THANKFUL THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT, NOT WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS USED BY OUR 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS STILL A FAIRLY NEW DRIVER. WHEN WE CALLED FORD THEY TOLD US SECONDARY REPAIR IS ON US SINCE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING THAT SAFETY IS NOT THEIR FIRST PRIORITY; SECONDLY THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND FIXING WHAT CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO A VERY DIFFERENT OUTCOME. MILEAGE TBD. UNABLE TO READ DASH WITH ERROR MESSAGE.

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH AND NO CODES SCANNED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BARELY COULD STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD ABS SYSTEM REPLACED BY A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT HAPPENS ON THESE CARS FREQUENTLY FROM WHAT I HEARD. VERY DANGEROUS!

POWER STEER ASSIST DISABLED EVEN AFTER FORD RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THE OWNER NOT HAVING ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE ONLY A BAND-AID DOES NOT TRULY FIX ISSUE. WIFE DRIVING HOME IN VEHICLE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH KIDS IN CAR DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING VERY HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL. NEEDED TO MEET WIFE TO GET CAR SO I COULD DRIVE IT BACK STILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR MYSELF AND I AM A STRONG PERSON.
