My power steering keeps going in and out while I am driving. If I turn off the car and then turn it back on it comes back on but it is happening very frequently and will go out again as soon as I start driving. I was told that there is a recall for this and want more information. It is not safe.

First I notice the car just drop gears and nearly stop on the off ramp of the highway. Second time I tried to reverse and it would not move and I had to call a tow truck to take it to the garage. Ford told me it needed a new transmission. Ford dealership wanted to charge me over $ 5000 for the job. I winded up going to a lee myles that charge cost to $ 4000 for the repairs it had done. Now few months later and the vehicle is shaking upon start up and idiling. Whenever I drive the car it feels like its jerks slightly when going at higher speeds. Changed out the air filter, rebuilt transmission and still having problem after problems with this 2010 Ford Escape.

My Ford Escape hybrid is experiencing an issue with the etb which is putting the vehicle in limp mode. This issue was investigated on a number of Ford vehicles in 2014 and found that it was a defective part of the throttle body, however hybrid vehicles were omitted from the warranty repair. My Ford hybrid is experiencing the same issues that other models had verified and should be included in the warranty coverage.

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.

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.

- Detroit, MI, USA

I was driving my son home from school in my 2010 Escape, I went to merge onto the highway and as I pressed on the gas pedal to gain speed, my vehicle didn't want to take the gas and I thought it was going to stall. A wrench appeared on the panel and so did the service engine light. When I took it to my Ford dealer, they told me it was the throttle body again and the purge valve again. I had the throttle body replaced in 2015 following the recall and the purge valve replaced in 2016. My complaint is they replaced the throttle body free the first time, why do I have to pay this time if it is still doing the same thing?
