Whenever driving my car, it noticably takes longer than it should to shift causing my rpms to run higher than expected. For instance doing 35 I might be running at 2500-3000 rpms for about 15 to 20 seconds before shifting and causing my rpms to go down to around 1500.

We have owned the car, 2015 Ford Escape SUV, for 70 days (certified pre-own). Drove it on a Tuesday. Went to start it on a Wednesday, and it would not fire or start. Warning messages included no key fob found-turn off vehicle-call service (although I had both in the car); 4 wd drive off; slis not available-call service. If it did fire, as soon as the car was put in gear, all the messages flashed and the car shut down. It was towed. In looking at the NHTSA site for complaints, it's time to make Ford culpable.

Electrical problem: On my 2015 Ford excape ive had only abfew months at 40,000 mfiles the dash board lights and keys go crazy when vehical is turned off then cant unlock doors. When cut car back on computers are black. Was drive down the road and computer goes blank just like you cut the car off lost all electrical use. Had to wait a few mins to restart car. I called dealer and they say no recall on my vehicle. As I read the reviews my excape is doing the same as others. I think Ford should fix this as it is the same as others like this excape.

My multiple function display has gone blank which displays all warning chimes, messages and mileage. I contacted Ford customer service about the recall they had that was submitted on that model and year and they told me my vehicle was not included. Because of the same exact thing described in the recall I feel Ford should repair my vehicle at no charge. Recall # 15C03 thank you!

The instrument panel cluster screen multiple function display failed to display information. The multi function display would show either a black or gray screen, periodically with white lines, with no readouts showing at all. Apparently a recall (15co3) was announced and the dealer performed the recommended software update at 32,837 miles which did not solve the problem permanently. The problem reappeared at approximately 39K miles. The dealer attempted to make repairs using a software update. The software update failed to remedy the problem and the dealer installed a new instrument cluster at my expense. I am asking you if this should be covered under the original recall or if an additional recall has been established or should be established.

Driving along and the dashboard went off and on. Windows won't go up or down. No lights. Everything was flashing. Car only has 22,000 miles on it. It is also always kept in the garage. Electrical system problems. It's an sel and 6 cylinders. I was on a city street and just drove it straight to bill knight Ford. They gave me no car and I'm single so it's my only means of transportation. I am also a retired teacher and it is difficult to buy a car. I expect more out of a fairly new car.

Occasionally, when operating multiple windows from the driver's door panel, the locks engage or disengage. Thus far, this symptom only happens in park. Also, upon placing the key in the ignition and turning to acc, the vista roof occasionally begins to retract without the operator touching any of the vista roof controls.

The battery is mounted with a top strap that keeps the battery in the box, but it does not prevent the battery from moving around in the box. The positive cable that attaches to the battery is very rigid - it does not allow the free movement of the battery. Result: The positive battery post is being stressed severely, causing battery failure, including intermittent operation due to the positive battery post movement (not supposed to happen) making open and then closed circuit connections. It is possible/probable that this condition will result in an explosion. Poor design. If the engineers want to allow the battery to move within the box, they must provide a free-floating positive battery cable, or modifications must be made to secure the battery so it does not move. There are many Ford Escape owners experiencing the same type of battery problems I have had, on the fordescape.org forum. There are several photos of Ford Escape battery explosions on the internet. Hoping you can act fast before someone is injured!

As I am driving the vehicle, the battery light comes. With minutes, I have now power to the steering wheel and the car battery is dead completely. The battery and alternator checks out fine. Once the battery has been fully charged, the battery light goes off. The next day, same exact thing happened. I am stranded both times. I call the dealer where I bought it, asheville Ford, to have them tow in to look at it. They are too busy and look at it for 2+ weeks. I have to call a dealer 40 miles away from me and have it towed to them. Was told by the service dept. That it is a common complaint and they need to 'flash' or re- set the computer system at a 200$ cost to me. This is infuriating.
