• Recall 2019420 [Canada]: Other
  Issue: this recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by vitro automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: this is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the motor vehicle safety act. Safety risk: glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: the company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “dot 287” along with the lettering “vmr” (replacement market) and a date code that is before july 2019.

• Recall 2016432 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, the pawl spring tab in the side door latch could break. This condition typically will prevent the door from latching. In certain situations where the door is able to be closed, the door may be partially latched and could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property. Correction: if a door will not latch, dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part. Note: a door that is partially latched can cause the courtesy light to remain on, set a door ajar message in the instrument cluster and sound a door ajar chime to alert the driver that there is a door latch problem.

• Recall 2015298 [Canada]: Engine
  Certain vehicles may fail to conform to canada motor vehicle safety standard (cmvss) 114 - theft protection and rollaway prevention. It may be possible for the engine to continue to run after turning the ignition key to the "off" position and removing the key (vehicles with standard ignition keys), or after pressing the engine start/stop button (vehicles with push-button start and intelligent access keys), which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. As a result, a vehicle could be operated without the key, increasing the risk of theft or unintended vehicle movement, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage and/or injury to bystanders.

• Recall 2022311 [Canada]: Powertrain
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the shift cable may detach from the transmission. This could cause the transmission not to shift gears when the shifter is moved. As a result, the transmission could be in a different gear than the gear shifter indicates. If a driver attempts to exit the vehicle while the transmission is not in park, and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle could move suddenly. Safety risk: sudden and unexpected movement of the vehicle could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the transmission shifter cable bushing and install a protective service cap. Ford advises that you should apply the parking brake each time the vehicle is parked.

• Door latch failures investigation # RQ19005

  In december 2019, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened this investigation based on 235 vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) alleging doors failed to latch when closed, and/or inadvertently opened while driving, on model year (my) 2012-2014 ford fiesta, and 2013-2014 fusion and lincoln mkz. Some voqs reported the failure occurred after the latch had been remedied under a prior recall which involved fracture of the latch pawl spring tab due to thermally induced cyclic fatigue. Other voqs alleged a similar failure in vehicles not previously recalled. A latch with a fractured pawl spring tab typically results in a ?Door will not close? Condition, however in certain somewhat rare circumstances, may result in the door coming open while driving. In response to odi?S investigation, ford has announced three field actions, as discussed below.On march 23, 2020, ford submitted safety recall 20v-177 (ford 20s15), a regional recall campaign to address door latch failures in vehicles not previously recalled under safety recalls 15v-246, 16v-643 and 17v-210. The recall affects vehicles currently or ever registered in certain high ambient temperature states (see 20v-177 for affected states). As a remedy, ford will replace all four door latches free of charge.On august 24, 2020, ford issued a non-safety regional field action (ford 20r01) to address door latch failures on the same model/my vehicles not covered under 20v-177 (i.E., not currently/ever registered in affected states). According to ford, spring tab failure rates for vehicles covered by this action are about half that of the 20v-177 vehicles. Under this action, dealers will replace all door latches, free of charge, if either; a) the vehicle exhibits a related latch concern, or b) if the vehicle owner expresses a concern about the latches in their vehicles. Details can be found under nhtsa tsb no. 10190990, a copy of which is available in this investigative file available at nhtsa.Gov.On june 8, 2020, ford submitted safety recall 20v-331 (ford 20s30) addressing vehicles previously remedied under nhtsa recalls 15v-246, 16v-643 and 17v-210, where the repair may not have been properly completed, specifically not all of the door latches were replaced, or replaced correctly. This recall involves an inspection of the latches, with the option for a consumer self-inspection; owners could view the date codes on their latches (and confirm child safety locks are present on the rear doors) and then submit the information to ford?S mobile app or website. A dealership inspection option was also available. Any vehicle found to have unreplaced defective latches requires the replacement of all door latches as directed by ford.Regarding the 4,494 reports cited above, 1,485 involve scope-related failures (with 13% alleging door opening), and the remaining 3,009 reports involving remedy concerns (with 18% alleging door opening - note odi was unable to verify the allegations of door opening). The three odi injuries were all relatively minor. Ford?S reported injury incidences include one (unconfirmed) report of an ejection, three minor injuries with the others involving undisclosed injuries. Ford?S crashes involved two (unconfirmed) crashes alleging the incident door contacted another vehicle and three involving doors striking other property.The recalled vehicles include my 2011-2015 ford fiesta, 2013-2016 ford fusion and lincoln mkz, 2015 ford mustang and lincoln mkc, 2013-2015 ford escape and ford c-max, 2012-2015 ford focus and 2014-2016 ford transit connect.Fords actions address odis concerns at this time.

Our 2015 ford escape stearing has locked up on two occasions, around july 7, 2021. Milage is about 65,000 miles. We were just leaving the house and it was while we were in the driveway. The stearing released soon after it locked up, but we are unsure of the cars safety at this time.

I started noticing coolant leakage. Then while driving i have been getting a warning say “engine to hot stop vehicle immediately safely.” then from there it would go into another warning. This 1 saying “vehicle will not operate at full power.” and the car would not go past 40mhp. I was thinking of fixing myself and started to research parts. I then came across this class action suit against ford and my vehicle for the same issue i’m having and how it is causing engine fires. I contact ford and basically got told there is nothing they can do. I’m including the class action case with this also. (link to follow) https://www.Motorbiscuit.Com/overheat-fail-fire-big-ford-ecoboost-class-action-lawsuit/ (here is the actual case documents) https://www.Google.Com/amp/s/dockets.Justia.Com/docket/california/caedce/2:2021cv00468/390575%3famp name of the case is: patricia lund v. Ford motor company

Steering assist failed with no warning (message came on when it happened). There had been no warnings at all prior and the day before i had transported my granddaughter to her riding lesson via freeway and side roads with no problems. This day i backed out of my driveway for quick trip to the store and when i went to pull forward and straighten the car into my lane, steering became very, very stiff, requiring all my strength to pull into position. In researching this problem we found that this is an ongoing problem with fords design. I had my car towed to my mechanic who scanned the codes, inspected the electronic steering gear, fuse. They had to remove and replace the complete steering gear. Total cost was $2,028.81 my main complaint is that even though ford maintains we have the ability to continue to steer the car, it is very difficult and i feel should this happen under the right conditions a driver and the passengers could end up seriously injured or worse. Again no warning prior to loosing the power assist. Had i lost my steering in freeway traffic i don't know that i would have been able to get to a safe spot to get off the road.

Passenger side door opened while driving. Passenger side door not unlocking from outside.

Suddenly while driving and making a right turn the steering locked up, the car jerked to the left into oncoming traffic. The "steering assist needs service" indicator light on the dash came on and then went off. As i looked for a safe place to pull over the car continually jerked from right to left and i had to keep pulling on the wheel to keep it straight. I phoned gary yeoman ford in daytona beach fl to check for recalls and was told there were none. I called ford motor company in dearborn michigan, customer complaints and spoke to a representative and was told there was nothing they could do. I then asked to speak to a supervisor and spoke to "supervisor angel" and was told the same. This car has less than 40,000 miles on it and this should not be happening. This is very dangerous and could have caused a very serious accident. There have been other recalls for this same problem, but not for the year 2015. I looked online and there are other complaints involving the same power steering problem on these ford escapes. It is now in the shop for repairs at my expense! Est $1400

Transmission repair $6875.00 by covert ford hutto. Purchased 08/27/2018 mileage 110047 transmission repair of $6875.00 reporting hopefully i will be the one who achieve the threshold to get a recall for transmission. Ford is telling me i will get a 3 year warranty and free replacement if it happens again but i am spending $6875.00 hopefully this helps.

As i was driving my car about 45-50mph , it started to sputter, then the rpms shot up and i could't accelerate, lost speed. My transmission failure light came on. I pulled over and put it in park. I was very close to home so i tried to drive to make it home and not be stranded a mile from home. It did it again, then my transmission failure light came on again. It also wouldn't go into reverse, it would just rev up. It would only go into reverese after i put it in park a couple times. If i turned the car off, then on, i could go a few feet before it would just rev up and couldn't accelerate. Its making a loud wining noise. I had it towed to leonardtown ford.

The shifter bushing recall is not showing for my vehicle, but has the same issue as the recall.Thevehicle is saying that it's not in park but it is, the shifter will not operate, and all gears are showing in reverse. I was driving and was going to stop and go in reverse when the shifter was stuck.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 25-35 mph and making a left turn, the steering wheel was very difficult to turn. The contact stated that the steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to byerly ford inc (4041 dixie hwy, louisville, ky 40216, (502) 448-1661) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the electronic steering gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 85,398. The consumer stated the vehicle abruptly loses power without warning. The car repairs amounted to $2150 and had to be towed to byerly 2 additional times for the same issue.
