In November 2022, my check engine light came on. The code was for a purge valve. That was replaced and repaired on November 10, 2022. In January 2023, my check engine light came on yet again. This time it was for the fuel regulator. That was repaired and replaced on January 9, 2023. My car did not make it the few miles to my house. On January 10, 2023, the mechanic picked up my car and drove it back to his shop. On the drive there, the Transmission Fault came on only one time. When he turned the car off and back on he never received the transmission error message again. The car is a 2017, purchased new, at the time had 75,000 miles and has always had maintenance checks on time. This was a catastrophic transmission failure due to manufacturing. After inspection transmission fluid was found burnt, filter was clogged, converter came apart and contaminated the unit. This caused a blocked filter which lead to a burnt clutched. Transmission was rebuilt and repaired. From vehicle purchased as new to November 2022, car had no issues. From November 2022 until January 10, 2023 it was a landslide of continual problems.

The vehicle check engine light has lit up on multiple occasions. We have had diagnoses that say "it's fine" from Ford, but we are concerned that it's not "fine" because of a code that indicates a problem with a cylinder misfire. This is a known mechanical defect in the year/make/model. However, Ford claims that our vehicle is not in the VIN range. My teenager drives this vehicle and we are now anxious about the reliability of the car. We paid over blue book value for the vehicle. We have spent hundreds of dollars on diagnosis with independent mechanics.

Was driving and tax went up to 4 and only going 30 mph. It said on the dashboard about transmission I have also had an ongoing problem since I got the vehicle new with the part in the gas tank that has a vacuum seal or something. I have had the part replaced and it still continues to have problems. It will stop and say that manual restart required. It makes an extremely loud noise when it does this. Also after filling up with gasoline it is very hesitant to start and takes 4-5 minutes to get it started.

Vehicle warning indicated to restart car. Pulled over and car did not restart. Dealership indicated that the power steering belt broke the crank sensor on the motor and if the sensor was broke it would not start. They stated that they wouldn-??t look for any other issues if it was the sensor that was out and that was the reason for the car not starting so they would not look further. Diagnostics was run but they only pinpointed the initial Pcode failure and worked on that specific issue. There was an open recall on the vehicle at the time the vehicle was in the shop but that was overlooked. The vehicle failed to operate properly the day AFTER I picked up the vehicle. The vehicle was driven for 5hrs, next morning the vehicle was going 25mph when the transmission became faulty. Vehicle would not accelerate past 20mph in any position. Had to tow it to another service location. Looking up vehicle history, it appears that Ford Motor company is aware that this year/model vehicle has this same issue but have been unwilling to issue a Recall or Service notice to fix/alleviate the problem. This vehicle has apx 89,000 miles and it is currently unusable. Many forums indicate they have had the SAME issue but never received any help from ford although it is a known issue. Dealership reported transmission related codes talking about ratio is incorrect. Not electrical but commanding the gears and causing a slip. Codes observed: Pcode: P0731 P0733 P0734 P0735 Transmission will require replacement as the vehicle will stop moving completely yet the dealership claims that the recall is only for the transmission shift at park and is unrelated.

I was driving on the highway on a hot (100*) day. I heard a loud boom. I looked at all of my windows and driver control panel, and did not see an issue. Then I heard wind, and realized it was coming from above me. The front panel of my moon roof had exploded - shattering into a million tiny pieces. The majority of the tempering held for a short period of time, but eventually the glass collapsed in. I had an approximately 8 inch hole in my roof, and the rest was in tiny pieces, which continued to rain in until I had the glass repaired. When I heard the sound, I attempted to open the shade, and small fragments of glass rained on me. If this had been open when it occurred, this would have been disastrous. I took it to my car repair facility and it was over $1000 to have the piece of glass repaired. They confirmed that spontaneous explosion of sun/moon roofs is an issue that is increasing in frequency due to the size of these structures on cars. My insurance repaired the glass due to my "glass - full coverage." There were no prior warnings.

Took vehicle in for routine service and was told need new lug nuts. Said they were swollen and if we had a flat we would not be able to change our tire. We have had a problem with navigation for years. Told dealer is working with Ford for a solution, been over a year and still waiting. Phone is delayed, GPS is way off, sitting in Delaware and navigation says we are in Maryland. This is a major disappointment

As of Monday, July 18, 2022, 2017, Ford Escape is not starting. I do not know as to why it won-??t start. I have called Lamarque Ford in New Orleans, last week on July 13th and14th and kept getting transferred back and forth with no solution. Called, Monday, July 18th, and was told the department was back up until October. Told Eddie/ person I spoke with that I had the VIN number would he tell me if the part was in. Eddie said no the car would have to be serviced to tell what was wrong. Yes I hung up no immediate help being given. First off Ford se r me a letter stating a recall on the vehicle. At this point the car is not starting up at all.

Engine was not able to continue accelerating onto a freeway entrance ramp or up a hill. It began to struggle and would not increase in rpms. The low pressure oil light flashed for a second when this happened. Never saw an engine light go off. Since the engine light never went off I continued to drive this vehicle, on highways where there were situations where I could not maintain a safe highway speed. It was scary and felt the engine would quit any second. But it would settle and again no indicators went off. After any struggle on a freeway the next 24 hours the engine would struggle even driving on local roads (under 40mph); could not accelerate and all and felt the car would stall any second. Sometimes the oil indicator would go off, sometimes not. This was reproduced and confirmed by a Ford Dealer. They found metal in the engine oil and said the entire engine needed to be replaced. They currently have the faulty engine. No others have inspected the engine at this point. Again no engine warnings went off and my entire engine needed to be replaced, it was not an option to wait. It wasn't safe to drive. This is not related to the current recall.

Car engine stopped running while driving. Car was taken to dealer, they said transmission but Ford Corporate says they have no record of the issue. How is that" The car is doing the same thing again and I am afraid to drive it, if it would start. Now, it won't even start. How are they allowed to keep this stuff secret" I know nothing will happen, but the next time this occurs someone could die as it doesn't care where it shuts off.

While stopped at a red light the car spontaneously shut off and had to be put in park and restarted. This happened 3 times in the past 2 weeks on extremely hot days. No engine warning light has come on.

While I was driving on the freeway during traffic times, the vehicle would not accelerate upon pushing the gas pedal at first. All of a sudden it would jerk forward very fast. This could have caused me to unintentionally rear end the car in front of me or get stuck without being able to move with cars coming fast behind me. This could have cause an accident and myself or others could have been harmed. This happened multiple times during one trip. The check engine light came on a few days prior to this incident. The codes were ran for the check engine light and came up for "emissions" issues. The vehicle is currently at Norm Reeves Ford in Cerritos, Ca. They are stating it is a "flywheel issue and pump not properly aligning with the clutch". I am estimated to be charged $4,660 in repairs.

We were told it might be a week to get it back because of parts delay. Unknown cause of transmission failure. About 40,000 miles on vehicle. Consumer received a call from dealer about my vehicle. Dealer stated it was not the transmission, but a failed throttle body. They said it was not covered in the TSB-16-0139.
