2013 Ford Escape complaints

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Loud noise from blower motor and no airflow from vents. Vehicle is available for inspection if needed. I believe this is related to the issue identified here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/SB-10099087-2532.pdf. Many others have reported the same issue and I believe a recall should be issued. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The noise coming from the blower motor makes it difficult to hear traffic noise, sirens, etc. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

Vehicle had transmission replaced at 80,000 miles due to the gears slipping and the car going forward in reverse and accelerating without pressing the gas. Vehicle now has 109,000 miles and has presented with other issues. The first incident occurred after fueling the vehicle. Owner got back into the car, all of the lights the turn on when a door is open illuminated and they proceeded to press the brake and attempt to turn on the car. The brake seized up and the car was not turning on. Owner had battery replaced three weeks ago at a shop and the computer was reset. Owner called roadside thinking it may need a jump. Roadside arrived and advised the vehicle was not in need of a jump as the battery components were testing fine and the lights illuminated and the key fob was working. Attempted to start vehicle numerous times, including with remote start and owner reports it felt as if the start stop button wasn't working. Eventually, the car turned on and ran for about 10 second when the engine cut out and the battery remained running (AC, radio, lights, etc.) owner and roadside tried to turn the vehicle off and the button was not working. Waited 10 minutes, opened driver door and then the stop button worked. Advised a tow, tow truck came an hour later and car started as normal. Owner took it to dealer to report the problem and they replaced the vapor valve. Next day owner drove about 35 miles to destination and when they came back out to the car the issue repeated. Car would not

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Engine overheating. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The engine overheats while driving and the car stalls. This put me and my family in danger as the engine does not provide any power to the vehicle and essentially stalls and 'shuts down'. If the car overheats it could potentially catch on fire putting me in danger. Additionally, if I am traveling on a highway or a city street with no engine power, I risk a collision with other drivers. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - The car has been to the dealer for service on 8+ occasions for this issue. They have seen the vehicle overheat and have downloaded the codes from the vehicles computer that confirm the issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer's engineers. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - Yes, there was a warning each time the vehicle overheated. However, the warning happened simultaneously to the overheat issue. So, while it technically warned me - it was a moot point because i was already traveling at city street speeds. This is a recurring issue that began 5+ years ago and persists today. Ford has not been able to properly d

I was driving off when a Steering Assist Fault Service Required message appeared on my dash. I could no longer control the steering wheel and got really hard to move. I had to put it in reverse and leave it where it was parked, since it was a hazard not being able to move the steering wheel left or right.

The power steering overheated malted. Had to replace unit 2,500. Also seatbelts no longer retract...safety issues....told car could catch on fire if i drove car with bad power steering.

The car will stall out and say it’s overheating when it isn’t. This is very dangerous because it can cause a major accident. I have taken it to Ford dealership and another mechanic and each time they say there is nothing wrong with it but it’s been doing this since 2017 when I bought it.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V551000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000. The VIN was not included.

I was pulling out of my street onto the highway when my power steering went out. No warning lights or anything, just took everything I have (as a young female) to turn it and then pull over. Took it in to the dealership and they said it needs to be replaced and that it happens to these cars. $3,100 to fix it! I had to actually go sifting through the info and settings to find the alert that the steering assist had an issue, it didn’t even tell me. Luckily nobody was immediately behind me on the highway, it could have been really bad. Overall very scary and very unimpressed this has happened to others and Ford hasn’t done anything about it.

For the past 2 years car is having identical issues with Ford recall 14S17 in a 2013 Ford Escape. Getting error code P0106 and have had MAF sensor replaced twice. Ford customer service indicated that this Escape was not covered under 14S17 since it was manufactured in 2013 after the effected dates in the recall.

I was driving when my panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. It sounded like a gunshot. Glass was everywhere.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I RECEIVED A SERVICE ALERT SAYING "LOW COOLANT SERVICE NOW". INTERESTINGLY MY CAR HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO HATE GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL AND I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT MUST BE RELATED, BUT I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR. ABOUT 1/4 MILE LATER MY CAR THROUGH A RED SERVICE ALERT THAT SAID ENGINE OVERHEAT TURN OFF FOR SAFETY. I PULLED OVER QUICKLY AND MY ENGINE WAS SMOKING. STEAM WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A LOT OF ANTIFREEZE WAS DRIPPING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. FROM HERE I GOT A TOW AND NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED.

WHILE I WAS PULLED OVER IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES MY HAZARD LIGHTS NO LONGER WORKED BECAUSE I HAD NO BATTERY AND HAD TO JUMP IT IN ORDER TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS WHEN THE TOW TRUCK FINALLY ARRIVED. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS DESCRIBED JUST LIKE THIS AND BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS COOLANT SYSTEM ISSUE. I CHECKED ALL AVAILABLE RECALLS AND NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL YET. IN SPEAKING WITH FORD UNTIL NHTSA ISSUES A RECALL THEN ALL FORD OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ARE ON THE HOOK. PLEASE ISSUE THE NEEDED RECALL.
