Vehicle went into limp mode with no throttle response the first day I owned it. It left me on interstate I 90 having to shut the car off and try to restart it. The dealer could not fix the problem it happened 4 times in 12K miles I returned the vehicle to the dealer as they could not find the problem after replacing several defective electronic parts. This vehicle was going to get someone killed it was not going to be me and my 14 year od son. I understand that they have auctioned this vehicle off after dismissing the safety concerns. This is the second report I have filed on this website.

As my boyfriend was turning the corner at an intersection, the engine suddenly stopped. He was able to stop due to his low speed. I reminded him to put his foot on the brake to restart, and he did that and it started right up. He didn't do anything to make the engine stop. The only thing that was happening at that time was that a text was coming in on my samsung phone, which was charging and connected via bluetooth.

The vehicle was parked and would not turn on. Lights and radio worked but engine would not. Electronic control module was replaced. Two weeks after picking it up from the dealer same thing happened when it was parked. Next day the car would turn on. Tried to turn it on again 15 minutes later it would not turn on. Had it towed to the dealer. Electronic control module replaced again. One month later same thing happened while parked. Called for tow truck to have it towed. While waiting for the tow truck after 2 hours tried turning it on and it did turn on. Still had it towed to the dealer.

6 months after I leased this car, the rear power window stopped working.during the first 6months, I noticed that when I close the door, the rear windows switch power turns off. I believe there is loose wires in the driver door that causes this problem.

As I was getting something out of the trunk area while standing at the center rear bumper, the lift hatch started coming down on its own. It was so quiet I did not hear it, and when I stood up (I'm 5ft 1-77 yr old female, I stood straight up and my head banged into the lid which was on its way down. The force of it hitting my head caused it to start ascending back up. I later went to emergency room because of my head bruise and pain. Scan revealed no internal bleed but was advised to treat it like a concussion. I should not have to pay these emergency room bills for a defect and now I'm paranoid about the lid. With all the beeps on these cars, the lid definitely needs a warning when it is coming down.

Chime volume level when power lift gate is opening or closing is very low. This has resulted in the foot activated open/close being activated unintentionally and the lift gate coming down on my head, resulting in a bruise and bump from the latch. This complaint has been addressed by the dealer and Ford management. The vehicle has been returned to the dealer on three occasions for repair with no satisfactory results. I think the volume level should be increased so it can be heard when the lift gate is going up or down to prevent further injury. Thank you.

My Ford Escape 2017 developed heating and A/C problems. Purchased Ford Escape 2017 on 08/22/2016. On 10/13/2016, morning, I left home on I-40 eb toward western NY. I was on the road roughly 2-hrs before I detected burning smell in the car. Within minutes of burning smell, my Ford Escape 2017 heater output became unbearable on my right foot. I attempted to reduce the heater output by reducing heater's temperature dial to no avail. As the heat from the car's heater burned my right foot, the foot use to manage the accelerator & break, I turned the heat off. Using the A/C at maximum setting, wearing a winter coat & thermal under-shirt & steel-toe shoes, I completed trip. On 10/24/2016, took Ford Escape 2017, to Ford dealership in western New York for engine diagnosis (HVAC), evaluation & repairs. Ford dealership could not find the problem. Dealership stated to determine the heat source problem would require removing car's dash-board & front doors. Ford dealership refused to remove car's dash-board & front doors, stating Ford Motor Company would not paid the cost. Requested dealership to contact the Ford Motor Company manufacturer's representative for help, to no avail. Unhappy and frustrated I sought second Ford dealership's opinion. I demanded the new dealership contact manufacturer's representative for help. Dealership refused to request help & to date Ford Escape 2017 heat source problem remain unresolved.
